These cookies allow us to count visits and traffic sources so we can measure and improve the performance of our Site. They help us to know which pages are the most and least popular and see how visitors move around the Site. In some cases the Site editor may also know information such as the age group (e.g., 25-36 years), gender, geographical area (e.g., central Italy) of users: however, the information collected by cookies is aggregated in a way that does not enable the Site manager to directly trace the user's identity.

They do not store directly personal information, but are based on uniquely identifying your browser and internet device. If you do not allow these cookies, you will experience less targeted advertising.

These cookies are set by a range of social media services that we have added to the Site to enable you to share our content with your friends and networks. They are capable of tracking your browser across other sites and building up a profile of your interests. This may impact the content and messages you see on other Websites you visit. If you do not allow these cookies you may not be able to use or see these sharing tools.
