The cookie is either sent from the web server to the browser or is created with client-side scripting (such as JavaScript).

Websites with Flash media write user-specific data on your computer and read them again later. These files are called Flash cookies or Local Shared Objects (LSO). They are not managed by the web browser itself, but by its respective Flash Player plug-in. Flash cookies are subject to the same rules as conventional cookies. They can be read only by the website that initiated storage of the Flash cookie. However, the amount of information they can store is much greater.

Can I use DIODORINA websites without cookies?

You can use our websites without cookies. Browsers usually offer a wide range of settings to control the use of cookies. You can also deactivate the storage of cookies or restrict the acceptance of cookies to certain websites. Another option would be to set your browser so that it notifies you as soon as a cookie is sent.
