Cookies
Cookies are small text files that are sent to the user's terminal equipment (usually to the user's browser) by visited websites; they are stored in the user's terminal equipment to be then re-transmitted to the websites on the user's subsequent visits to those websites. When navigating a website, a user may happen to receive cookies from other websites or web servers, which are the so-called "third party" cookies. This happens because the visited website may contain items such as images, maps, sound files, links to individual web pages on different domains that are located on servers other than the one where the page being visited is stored.
Cookies are used for several purposes ranging from IT authentication to the monitoring of browsing sessions up to the storage of specific information on user configurations in accessing a given server, and so on.
Some operations can not be performed without the use of cookies, which in some cases are so technically necessary: for example, access to your home banking and activities that can be performed on your account online (display of the extract account transfers, payment of bills, etc..) would be much more complex to perform and less secure without the presence of cookie that can identify the user and maintain the identification part of the session.
Cookies can remain in the system for long periods and may also contain a unique identifier. This allows sites that use them to keep track of the user's navigation within the site, for statistical purposes or advertising, that is, to create a custom profile to the user from the visited pages and then show targeted ads (i.e. Behavioural Advertising).
By using the site musings.it and all its subdomains you consent to the use of cookies.
The user can choose not to accept cookies at any time by modifying your browser settings (if possible), not using the website anymore or by using the waiver options applicable. Keep in mind that certain functions are only available through the use of cookies, and choosing not to accept cookies, you may not be able to use these functions.
