Cookie Policy
What are cookies?
Cookies are short pieces of text (letters and/or numbers) that allow the web server to store information on the client (the browser) to be reused during the same site visit (session cookies) or later, even after days (persistent cookies).
Cookies are stored, according to the user’s preferences, by the individual browser on the specific device used (computer, tablet, smartphone).
Similar technologies, such as web beacons, transparent GIFs, and all forms of local storage introduced with HTML5, can be used to collect information about user behavior and service usage.
In this document, we will refer to cookies and all similar technologies simply as “cookies.”
Types of cookies
Cookies can be first-party or third-party, where “first-party” refers to cookies developed by the site owner itself, while “third-party” refers to cookies developed by third parties other than the site owner.
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 communications network, or to the extent strictly necessary for the provider of an information society service explicitly requested by the subscriber or user to provide such service.
They are not used for further purposes and are normally installed directly by the website owner or manager. 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 indeed necessary for the proper functioning of the site;
– analytics cookies, assimilated 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 itself, in order to improve site performance;
– functionality cookies, which allow the user to navigate according to a series of selected criteria (e.g., language, products selected for purchase) in order to improve the service provided to the same. The installation of these cookies does not require the prior consent of the users (more information in the Cookie Management section below).
- Profiling cookies
Profiling cookies are aimed at creating user profiles and are used to send advertising messages in line with the preferences expressed by the user while browsing the web.
The use of profiling cookies requires the consent of the interested party. According to the provision no. 229 of May 8, 2014 the user must be able to authorize or deny consent to the installation of profiling cookies if they are present.
In the case of third-party cookies, the site does not have direct control over individual cookies and cannot control them (it can neither install them directly nor delete them). However, you can manage these cookies through your browser settings (follow the instructions provided below), or the sites indicated in the “Cookie Management” section.
The User is therefore invited to check on the third-party site indicated below.
