COOKIE POLICY
Cookies are small text strings that the websites a user visits send to the user's device (usually to the browser), where they are stored and then sent back to the same websites the next time that user visits.
While browsing a website, the user may also receive cookies on their device that are sent by different websites or web servers (so called "third parties"), which may host some of the elements (such as images, maps, sounds or specific links to pages on other domains) found on the website the user is visiting.
Cookies, which are usually present in very large numbers in users' browsers and sometimes remain there for long periods, are used for different purposes: carrying out authentication, monitoring sessions, storing information about specific settings of users who access the server, and so on.
For the purposes of this notice, two broad categories of cookies are therefore identified: "technical" cookies and "profiling" cookies.
Technical cookies are those used solely for the purpose of "carrying out the transmission of a communication over an electronic communications network, or insofar as strictly necessary for the provider of an information society service explicitly requested by the subscriber or user to provide that service" (see Article 122, paragraph 1, of the Italian Privacy Code).
They are not used for any other purpose and are normally installed directly by the owner or operator of the website.
They can be divided into: browsing or session cookies, which ensure the normal browsing and use of the website (allowing, for example, a purchase to be made or a login to access restricted areas); analytics cookies, which are treated in the same way as technical cookies where they are used directly by the website operator to collect aggregate information on the number of users and how they use the website; and functionality cookies, which allow users to browse according to a set of selected criteria (for example, language or products selected for purchase) in order to improve the service provided to them.
Profiling cookies are designed to create profiles of the user and are used to send advertising messages in line with the preferences the user has shown while browsing online.
This website uses different types of cookies and similar technologies, each with a specific function. Users can browse the website without cookies, but their browsing experience may not be the best possible.
The cookies used and their functions are listed below.
Browsing and session cookies ensure the normal browsing and use of the website (allowing, for example, content to be displayed on the device in the language of the country from which the user is connecting, or purchases to be made through e-commerce systems).
Browsing cookies are technical cookies and are therefore necessary for the website to function, improving its quality and the browsing experience.
