Cookie Policy

Dear Interested Party, 

Cookies are small text files sent from a website to the user's terminal (usually the browser), where they are stored before being retransmitted to the website upon the same user's next visit. A cookie cannot retrieve any other data from the user's hard drive, transmit computer viruses, or capture email addresses. Each cookie is unique to the user's web browser. Some cookie functions may be performed by other technologies. In this document, the term "cookie" refers both to cookies, strictly speaking, and to all similar technologies. 

Cookies can be used to record information relating to preferences, such as the pages you browse or the downloads of files from the site, or other similar actions performed while browsing the site. 

FIRST-PARTY OR THIRD-PARTY COOKIES  

Cookies can be first-party or third-party: 

– “First Party” refers to cookies developed by the owner of the site itself,  

– “Third Party” refers to cookies developed by third parties other than the site owner. 

NATURE OF COOKIES  

Regarding the nature of cookies, there are different types: 

Technical cookies 

Technical cookies are those used for the sole purpose of "carrying 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" (see Article 122, paragraph 1, of the Code). They are not used for other purposes and are typically installed directly by the website owner or operator.  

They can be divided into: 

– navigation or session cookies, which guarantee 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 correct 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, in order to improve the site's performance; 

– functional cookies, which allow the User to navigate based on a series of selected criteria (for example, products selected for purchase, language, etc.) in order to improve the service provided. The installation of these cookies does not require the User's prior consent. 

Profiling cookies 

Profiling cookies are designed to create user profiles and are used to send advertising messages in line with the preferences expressed by the user while browsing online. The user's consent is required to use profiling cookies. 

Pursuant to provision no. 229 of 8 May 2014, the User must be able to authorize or deny consent to the installation of profiling cookies, if present. 

In the case of third-party cookies, the site does not have direct control over individual cookies and cannot monitor them (neither directly installing them nor deleting them). Users can, however, manage these cookies through their browser settings (follow the instructions below) or through the sites listed in the "Cookie Management" section. 

The User is therefore invited to check the relevant cookie policies on the Third Party websites.

DURATION OF COOKIES 

Cookies have a duration dictated by the expiration date (or by a specific action such as closing the browser) set at the time of installation.  

Cookies can be: 

• temporary or session cookies: they are used to store temporary information, allow you to connect the actions performed during a specific session and are removed from your computer when you close the browser; 
• permanent Persistent cookies: These are used to store information, such as your login name and password, so you don't have to re-enter them each time you visit a specific site. These cookies remain stored on your computer even after you close your browser. 

Session cookies are not retained once your connection to this website has ended. The computer systems used for this website use temporary and permanent cookies. 

COOKIE MANAGEMENT  

Users can disable cookies on websites by downloading special software such as Ghostery (https://www.ghostery.com) for their browser and disabling the use of individual cookies. Alternatively, they can 

Enable "incognito" mode – this is a feature that allows you to browse without leaving any traces of your browsing data in the browser. This feature only prevents browsing data from being stored in the browser. 

Alternatively, you can disable/delete cookies by accessing your browser's settings panel.  

ACCEPTANCE AND WAIVER OF COOKIES 

By continuing to browse this site, closing the information banner, clicking anywhere on the page, or scrolling to highlight additional content, you accept the Cookie Policy and cookies will be set and collected. If you abandon the site and do not accept cookies, any cookies already stored locally in your browser will remain there but will no longer be read or used by us until you subsequently accept the policy. Users can always remove these cookies at any time using the methods mentioned above.
