A cookie, what is that?

Why do we use cookies?
War Heritage Institute, which manages this website, uses three types of cookies on the War Heritage Institute website:
- essential cookies;
- functional cookies;
- analyse cookies.
War Heritage Institute uses essential and functional cookies to manage the content of its website. These cookies are necessary for the proper functioning of this website. You cannot refuse these cookies if you want to visit our websites.
War Heritage Institute also uses "MATOMO" for analytical purposes. This analysis tool places cookies that we use to measure website visits (traffic). With this we know, among other things, how many times a certain page is read. We only use this information to improve the content of our website or as an approach for a new campaign on a particular topic that is of great interest.
For this analysis tool we use a Matomo Cloud, an external partner that has both its organization and the underlying data centers within Europe and is fully committed to GDPR compliance and respect for privacy. Your prior consent is requested for the use of cookies for analytical purposes. These cookies are therefore only installed on your device after you have given your consent.
