COOKIE POLICY
WHAT ARE COOKIES?
Cookies are small text files sent from the website to the user’s device (usually the browser), where they are stored to be retransmitted 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 capture email addresses. Each cookie is unique to the user’s web browser. Some cookie functions may be performed using similar technologies. In this document, the term ‘cookie’ refers both to cookies and similar technologies.
Cookies can store information about your preferences, such as the pages you visit, file downloads from our website, or similar actions taken while browsing.
FIRST OR THIRD-PARTY COOKIES
Cookies can be first-party or third-party. “First-party” refers to cookies created directly by the website owner, while “third-party” refers to cookies created by parties other than the website owner.
TYPES OF COOKIES
There are several types of cookies based on their purpose:
**Technical Cookies**
These are used solely to transmit information on an electronic communications network, or as strictly necessary to provide a service explicitly requested by the user. They are not used for any other purposes and are usually installed directly by the website owner. They can be subdivided into:
– **Browsing or session cookies**, which ensure the normal use of the website (e.g., completing a purchase or logging into a restricted area). These are essential for proper website function;
– **Analytics cookies**, treated as technical cookies if used directly by the website owner to collect aggregated data about the number of users and how they interact with the website, in order to improve its performance;
– **Functionality cookies**, which allow the user to navigate based on selected criteria (e.g., language, items selected for purchase) to improve the service provided. No prior consent is required for these cookies (more info in the section “Managing Cookies” below).
**Profiling Cookies**
Profiling cookies create user profiles and are used to send advertising aligned with the user’s browsing preferences.
User consent is required for profiling cookies. According to the Italian Data Protection Authority’s decision No. 229 of May 8, 2014 and the EU Regulation 2016/679 (GDPR), the user must be able to authorize or refuse these cookies.
For third-party cookies, the site cannot control them directly (neither install nor delete them). However, they can be managed via browser settings or by visiting the relevant third-party sites listed in the “Managing Cookies” section.
We recommend checking the privacy policies of those third parties.
