Cookie policy

Dear User,

Cookies are small text files sent by the website to the user's terminal (usually to the browser), where they are stored before being re-transmitted to the website on the user's next visit. A cookie cannot retrieve any other data from the user's hard drive, transmit computer viruses or acquire e-mail addresses. Each cookie is unique to the user's web browser. Some of the functions of cookies can be delegated to other technologies. In this document, the term 'cookies' refers to both cookies themselves and all similar technologies.

Cookies can be used to record information about preferences, such as pages visited or files downloaded 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" cookies are those developed by the owner of the website itself.

- "Third-party" cookies are cookies developed by third parties other than the website owner.

NATURE OF COOKIES

There are different types of cookies:

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 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 Code). They are not used for other purposes and are normally installed directly by the owner or operator of the website.

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 proper functioning of the site;

- analytics cookies, similar to technical cookies when used directly by the site operator 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 the User to navigate according to a series of selected criteria (for example, products selected for purchase, language, etc.) in order to improve the service provided to the User. The prior consent of users is not required for the installation of these cookies.

Profiling cookies

Profiling cookies are designed to create profiles relating to the User and are used to send advertising messages in line with the preferences expressed by the User when browsing the web. The use of profiling cookies requires the consent of the Data Subject.

According to provision no. 229 of 8 May 2014, the User must be able to authorise or deny consent to the installation of profiling cookies if they are present.

In the case of third-party cookies, the website has no direct control over individual cookies and cannot control them (it cannot install them directly or delete them). However, the User can manage these cookies throughbrowser settings (follow the instructions below), or the websites indicated in the "Cookie management" section.

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