1. What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files that the websites visited by the user send directly to his/her device (usually to the browser), where they are stored before being retransmitted to the same websites when the user accesses them again.

The cookies used on this Website can be distinguished on the basis of the following criteria:

a) based on who manage them:

(i) proprietary or first-party cookies: these are cookies installed directly by the Company through the Website;

(ii) third party cookies: these are cookies installed through the Website by third parties with respect to the Company.

b) based on how much time they remain active:

(i) session cookies: these cookies store the necessary information during the browsing session and are deleted automatically after the session expires, or when the browser is closed;

(ii) persistent cookies: they are stored on the user’s hard-disk and the Website reads them every time the user makes a new visit. A persistent cookie has a preset expiry date. The cookie will stop working after this date.

c) based on the purposes:

some are necessary to enable you to browse the Website and take advantage of its features (so-called technical cookies). Others are used to obtain statistical information, whether or not in aggregate form, about the number of users accessing the Website and how the Website is used (so-called tracking or analytics cookies). Finally, others are used to trace your consumer profile and display advertisements on the Website that may be of interest to you, as they are consistent with your tastes and consumption habits (so-called profiling cookies).

Technical cookies, analytics cookies are used on the Website.

2. What are technical cookies and how do they work?

Technical cookies are those we use for the sole purpose of enabling you to visit and enjoy the Website.

They can be further divided into:

  • browsing cookies: they ensure normal navigation and use of the Website, enabling, for example, a purchase to be made or authentication to access restricted areas. These are normally session cookies, which are automatically deleted when you close your browser;
  • functionality cookies: they allow you to browse according to a set of selected criteria (e.g. language or country of origin) in order to improve the service provided on the Website. These are persistent cookies, which remain on your computer after you close your browser until the expiry date set for each cookie (typically two months to two years) or until you delete them.

Technical cookies are not used for any further purposes and are installed directly by us.

N.B.: Please be aware that by blocking the installation of technical cookies, or subsequently deleting them, your ability to access the Website, to use all or part of it, to enable or disable certain functions or to receive certain services may be affected in whole or in part.

Those third-party analytics cookies are installed on the Website only with your prior consent, because they are not anonymized, as third parties can access disaggregated analytics data at the IP address level (in other words, through such cookies, the third parties could theoretically trace your identity through your IP address).

As required by applicable privacy laws, your prior consent is required for the installation of non-anonymized third-party analytics cookies. For this reason, when you access the Website, a special banner will be displayed prominently, informing you that (i) third party analytics cookies are used on the Website and that (ii) by selecting the appropriate item you may consent or not to the use of cookies.

Please note that if you delete this technical cookie from your browser, the record of your consent will be lost, and the cookie banner will be displayed again on your next visit to the Website.

Obviously, you can freely decide to block the installation of analytics cookies at any time, and, in such case, the possibility to visit the Website or benefit of its contents will not be jeopardized in any manner whatsoever. To find out how to do this, please read the third-party cookie policies by following the links in the table above.
