WHAT ARE COOKIES?
Cookies are small text files sent by the site to the user’s device (usually to the browser), where they are stored so they can be transmitted back to the site on the user’s next visit. A cookie cannot retrieve any other data from the user’s hard drive, nor transmit computer viruses or capture email addresses. Every cookie is unique to the user’s web browser. Some cookie functions may be delegated to other technologies. In this document, the term ‘cookie’ refers both to cookies proper and to all similar technologies.
Through cookies, it is possible to record information about your preferences, such as the pages visited or files downloaded from our site, or other similar actions carried out while browsing our site.
FIRST-PARTY OR THIRD-PARTY COOKIES
Cookies can be first-party or third-party: “first-party” refers to cookies installed by the Data Controller of the site itself, while “third-party” refers to cookies installed by parties other than the site’s Data Controller.
NATURE OF COOKIES
With regard to their nature, there are several types of cookies:
Technical cookies: technical cookies are those used solely for the purpose of “carrying out the transmission of a communication over an electronic communications network, or to the extent strictly necessary to provide an information society service explicitly requested by the subscriber or user” (see Article 122, paragraph 1, of the Italian Data Protection Code).
They are not used for any further purposes and are normally installed directly by the site owner or operator. They can be divided into:
– navigation or session cookies, which ensure normal browsing and use of the website (allowing, for example, a purchase to be made or authentication to access reserved areas); these are effectively necessary for the site to function correctly;
– analytics cookies, treated as technical cookies where 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 browse according to a series of selected criteria (for example, language, or products selected for purchase) in order to improve the service provided to them. Installing these cookies does not require the user’s prior consent.
– profiling cookies: profiling cookies are intended to create profiles relating to the user and are used to send advertising messages in line with preferences expressed by the user while browsing the web. The use of profiling cookies requires the consent of the data subject. Under Provision No. 229 of 8 May 2014, the user must be able to grant or deny consent to the installation of profiling cookies, where 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 nor delete them directly). You can still manage these cookies through your browser settings (follow the instructions below), or through the sites indicated in the “Cookie Management” section.

DURATION OF COOKIES
Cookies have a duration determined by an expiry date (or by a specific action such as closing the browser) set at the time of installation. Cookies can be:
temporary or session cookies: used to store temporary information, allowing actions taken during a specific session to be linked together, and are removed from the computer when the browser is closed;
permanent (persistent) cookies: used to store information, such as login name and password, so that the user does not have to re-enter them every time they visit a specific site. These remain stored on the computer even after the browser has been closed.
Session cookies are not retained once the connection to this website has ended. The IT systems used for this site use third-party cookies for analytics purposes, which may remain persistent in the browser.
MANAGING COOKIES
