They also guarantee that online ads visualised are user-oriented and consistent with their interests. According to their purpose and to their use, they can be subdivided in technical cookies, profiling cookies and third party cookies.

On the website www.igm-online.it there are no profiling cookies and the cookies we use do not track the single user’s way of surfing the Internet and so they always respect users’ privacy.
