Cookie Policy
WHAT ARE COOKIES?
Cookies are small text files sent from the site to the terminal of the interested party (usually to the browser), where they are stored to be then retransmitted to the site at the next visit of the same user. A cookie cannot recall any other data from the user's hard disk nor transmit computer viruses or acquire email 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 'cookie' refers both to cookies, properly speaking, and to all similar technologies.
Cookies can be used to record information relating to your preferences, such as the pages you browse or the download of files from our site or other similar actions performed while browsing our site.
FIRST OR THIRD PARTY COOKIES
Cookies can be first or third party, where “first party” means cookies developed by the owner of the site itself, while “third party” means cookies developed by third parties with respect to the owner of the site.
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 art. 122, paragraph 1, of the Code).
They are not used for further purposes and are normally installed directly by the owner or manager 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 reserved 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 itself, in order to improve the performance of the site;
– functionality cookies, which allow the user to navigate according to a series of selected criteria (for example, language, products selected for purchase) in order to improve the service provided to the user. The installation of these cookies does not require the prior consent of users (more information in the Cookie Management paragraph below).
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 while browsing the internet.
The use of profiling cookies requires the consent of the interested party. According 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 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 cannot install them directly or delete them). You can still manage these cookies through your browser settings (follow the instructions below), or the sites listed in the “Cookie Management” section.
The User is therefore invited to check on the third party website indicated below.
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 (session cookies): they are used to store temporary information, allow you to connect the actions performed during a specific session and are removed from the computer when the browser is closed;
- permanent (persistent cookies): they are used to store information, such as the name and password, so as to avoid the user having to re-enter them each time he visits a specific site. These remain stored on the computer even after closing the browser.
The so-called session cookies, once the connection to this website has ended, are not retained. The computer systems used for this site use temporary cookies and permanent cookies.
COOKIE MANAGEMENT
You can disable cookies on websites by downloading special software such as Ghostery (https://www.ghostery.com) for your browser and disabling the use of individual cookies. Or you can activate the “anonymous browsing” mode – this is a function that allows you to browse without leaving traces of your browsing data in the browser. This function only allows you not to keep browsing data in the browser.
Alternatively, you can disable/delete cookies by accessing the configuration panel of your browser.
ACCEPTANCE AND WAIVER OF COOKIES
By continuing to browse this site, closing the information banner or clicking on any part of the page or scrolling to highlight further content, you accept the Cookie Policy and cookies will be set and collected. In the event of non-acceptance of cookies by abandoning navigation, any cookies already registered locally in your browser will remain registered there but will no longer be read or used by us until a subsequent and possible acceptance of the Policy. You will always have the possibility to remove such cookies at any time through the methods mentioned.
