These files are not viruses. Since these files do not contain code, they cannot be executed or access other files or folders on your computer.

3. What kind of cookies do we use?
In terms of storage time, we use:
* Fixed cookies; they remain on the user's device for a certain period of time, specified in the cookie (usually 2 years). They are used every time the user visits the address that created that file.
* Session cookies; these files are temporary. They allow website operators to log the actions a user takes during an internet browsing session.
Also, in terms of functionality, we use four different types of cookies:
* Strictly necessary cookies; they are essential to be able to navigate the website and use its applications. Without them, users would not be able to use basic services such as creating an account or using a shopping cart. These files do not collect information about users that could be used for marketing purposes or to track the user on the Internet.
* Performance cookies; they collect statistical data anonymously about how the website is used. They do not contain personal information and are used to improve the user's experience when browsing the website.
* Cookies for functionality; through them, the operator allows users to choose different options and features of the web page. For example, some functionality cookies offer the possibility to opt for password storage, language preferences, region, as well as the possibility to provide personal information such as the current location or weather or traffic data from the user's location.
* Advertising and targeting cookies; used to improve the relevance of advertisements delivered to you. They can also limit the number of impressions of an ad deemed irrelevant or track the effectiveness of an advertising campaign by keeping statistics on the number of hits by users. Also, an important function that some of these cookies have is to provide security for online transactions. Typically, these cookies are used by third-party operators, being able to make a connection between the web pages visited by the user, but not being able to identify the user's identity, since no connection is made between your online profile and the processed data .
We also have third-party cookies on our website. Third parties, such as advertising companies or providers of external services such as internet traffic analysis, may use cookies or other similar plugins to collect information about your visit to our website.

5. Security and Privacy Issues
Cookies are NOT viruses! They are not made up of pieces of code so they cannot execute or self-run, they cannot duplicate or replicate to other networks to run or replicate again.
In general, browsers have integrated privacy settings that provide different levels of cookie acceptance, validity period and automatic deletion after the user has visited a certain site.
Cookies are not dangerous, but because through them information is constantly transmitted in both directions between the browser and the website, if an attacker or unauthorized person intervenes during the data transmission, the information contained in the cookie can be intercepted. Although very rare, this can happen if the browser connects to the server using an unencrypted network (eg an unsecured WiFi network).
Other cookie-based attacks involve missetting cookies on servers, which can be exploited by attackers.
It is important to know that disabling cookies will not allow users access to the most widespread and used sites, including Gmail, Yahoo, Youtube and others.
There are some basic safety measures you can take to browse safely with cookies:
* Customize your browser cookie settings to reflect a level of cookie security that is comfortable for you. You can set long expiration periods for storing browsing history and personal access data.
* If you share your computer with other people, you can set your browser to delete individual browsing data every time you close your browser.
* Always install and update your antispyware applications.
* Make sure your browser is always up to date; many of the cookie-based attacks are carried out by exploiting the weak points of old versions of browsers.
