Cookie Policy

1 DEFINITIONS, CHARACTERISTICS AND APPLICATION OF THE LEGISLATION

Cookies are small text files that the sites you visit send to you and store on your computer or mobile device, and which will be returned to these same sites on each new visit. Thanks to cookies, the Site remembers your actions and preferences (e.g. connection data, preferred language, font size, other display settings, etc.) so that you do not have to specify them again when you return to the Site or consult another page of the same Site.

Cookies are used for electronic authentication, session tracking and storing information about the activities of users who visit the Site. They may also contain a unique identifier that allows a system to track your browsing activities on the Site, for statistical or advertising purposes. When you visit a site, you may also receive cookies from other sites or servers (third-party cookies) on your computer or mobile device. Some operations may be impossible to perform without the use of cookies, which are sometimes technically necessary for the proper functioning of the Site itself.

There are different types of cookies and similar tracking tools (such as, but not limited to, pixels, fingerprinting, etc.), also depending on their characteristics and functions, the duration of storage on your computer or mobile device.

Session cookies are automatically deleted when you close your browser, while persistent cookies remain on your device until a pre-programmed expiration date. Italian data protection legislation does not always require your consent for the use of cookies. For example, such consent is not required for “technical cookies”. These cookies are used exclusively to transmit messages over an electronic communications network or to provide a service specifically requested by the user. In other words, these cookies are essential for the operation of the Site or for the performance of the activities you have requested. On the contrary, “marketing/profiling cookies”, which are used to create user profiles and to send advertising messages corresponding to the preferences indicated while browsing the web, require your specific consent.

We use cookies to personalize content and ads, to provide social media features, to analyze our traffic and the effectiveness of our promotional campaigns and services. We also share information about your use of our Site with our advertising, social media, and analytics partners, who may combine it with other information you have provided to them or that they have collected as part of your use of their services.

In accordance with applicable law, we may store cookies on your device without requiring your prior consent (i) if they are strictly necessary to provide an online service through this Site at your express request; (ii) if the sole purposes of cookies are to enable or facilitate electronic communications; (iii) if they are used for analysis purposes, i.e. in order to produce statistical and aggregate reports on the use of the Site.
