Cookie Policy

We use cookies to make our site easier and more intuitive. The data collected through cookies helps make the browsing experience more pleasant and more efficient in the future.

What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files sent by the site to the user’s device (usually to the browser), where they are stored to be retransmitted to the site on the user’s next visit. A cookie cannot retrieve any other data from the user’s hard drive, transmit computer viruses, or acquire email addresses. Each cookie is unique to the user’s web browser. Some cookie functions may be delegated to other technologies. In this document, the term ‘cookie’ refers to both cookies proper and all similar technologies.

Types of cookies
Cookies can be first-party or third-party, where “first-party” refers to cookies that show the site as their domain, while “third-party” refers to cookies that relate to external domains.

Third-party cookies are necessarily installed by an external entity, always defined as a “third party”, not managed by the site. These entities may also install first-party cookies, saving their own cookies on the site’s domain.
Nature of cookies
Regarding the nature of cookies, there are different types:

Technical cookies
Technical cookies are those used solely to “carry out the transmission of a communication over an electronic communication network, or as strictly necessary for the provider of an information society service explicitly requested by the subscriber or user to provide such service” (see art. 122, paragraph 1, of the Code).

They are not used for additional purposes and are normally installed directly by the owner or manager of the website. They can be divided into:

  • navigation or session cookies, which ensure normal navigation and use of the website (allowing, for example, to make a purchase or authenticate to access restricted areas); they are in fact necessary for the proper functioning of the site;
  • analytics cookies, similar to technical cookies when used directly by the site manager to collect information, in aggregate form, on the number of users and how they visit the site, in order to improve the site’s performance;
  • functionality cookies, which allow users to navigate according to a series of selected criteria (for example, language, products selected for purchase) in order to improve the service provided to them. The installation of such cookies does not require users’ prior consent.

Profiling cookies
Profiling cookies are aimed at creating profiles related to “the user and are used to send advertising messages in line with the preferences expressed by the user during” web browsing.

The use of profiling cookies requires “the user’s consent. According to the provision, the” user can authorize or deny consent to “the installation of cookies through the options provided in the” “Cookie Management” section.

In the case of third-party cookies, the site does not have direct control over individual cookies and cannot control them (it cannot install or delete them directly). However, you can manage these cookies through browser settings (follow the instructions provided below), or the sites indicated in the “Cookie Management” section.

Users are therefore invited to check the third-party site indicated in the table below.

Cookies installed on this site
Here is “the list of cookies present on this site. Third-party cookies include links to the privacy policy of the respective external provider, where you can find a detailed description of individual cookies and their” processing.
