The purpose of this policy is to illustrate the typologies of cookies and the modalities of their use by this Website and to provide indications about the modalities of acquisition of the consent from the navigating user, necessary for the installation of some typologies of cookies.
About Cookies
Cookies are small text fragments, generally made up of letters and/or numbers, which are sent by the website visited and memorized by the software (e.g. a web banner) installed on the device that the user uses for browsing. The cookies are re-transmitted to the aforementioned site the next time the user visits.
Cookies make it possible to memorize information regarding the visits made by a user to a website and represent a very useful technology, as they allow the functioning of the sites, making them more efficient and providing useful information to the managers of these sites. Without cookies, or other similar technologies, websites would not be able to "remember" information about visitors, such as how many items the user has placed in their shopping cart or whether or not they have logged in.
Cookie classification
Cookies can be classified according to:
- duration: session or persistent cookies;
- origin/ownership: first-party or third-party cookies;
- purposes and personal protection: technical, analytical or profiling cookies.
Duration
Cookies that expire at the end of a session, usually when a user closes their browser, are called session cookies and are useful, for example, to store a user's purchase order or for security purposes, such as accessing their internet banking or webmail account. Cookies that are stored for a longer period of time between sessions are called persistent cookies and are useful for remembering your preferences or for targeted advertising.
Origin/ownership
The definition of first party or third party refers to the website or domain that installs the cookie, which owns the cookie. First-party cookies are installed directly by the website you are visiting, while third-party cookies are installed by a domain other than the one you are visiting, for example in case the website incorporates elements from other sites such as images, social plugins, media or advertising.
Purpose and personal protection
Depending on their purpose, cookies are divided into technical cookies, analytical cookies and profiling cookies.
Technical cookies are necessary to allow navigation on the Internet and the transmission of a communication over an electronic communication network, as well as to provide the user with some of the functionalities made available on the site. Without the use of such cookies some operations could not be carried out or would be more complex and/or less secure. In relation to these operations, cookies, which allow you to make and keep the identification of the user during the online browsing session, are essential and can’t be disabled.
In accordance with current legislation, the prior consent of the user browsing the site is not required for the installation of technical cookies.
Analytical cookies, first or third party, are installed to collect information on the use of the website. They are useful to statistically analyse accesses or visits to the site itself and to allow the owner to improve its structure, navigation logic and contents. The information collected is used for statistical analysis in order to improve the use of the site and possibly to make the content more interesting and relevant to the user's wishes.
Analytical cookies can be considered technical cookies, and as such can be used without the prior consent of the user, only when it is impossible to directly identify the interested party through their use, which is equivalent to preventing the use of analytical cookies that, due to their characteristics, can be direct and unique identifiers. This circumstance occurs when analytical cookies are created and used directly by the first party site or, in the case of third-party origin, the owner of the third party has adopted tools that reduce the identification power of cookies (for example, through the masking of significant portions of the IP) and has undertaken not to cross the information contained in the cookies with other information already available.
For analytical cookies, in all cases where the above conditions do not apply, prior consent of the user is required for their installation..
Profiling cookies, whether first or third party, are used to track user navigation, analyze behavior for marketing purposes and create profiles of tastes, habits and choices. This makes it possible to send targeted advertising messages in relation to the user's interests and in line with the preferences expressed by the user while online. These cookies also include social cookies.
Profiling cookies can only be installed on the user's terminal if the user has given his prior consent..

Setting preferences via browser
Users can, however, also express their cookie preferences through the settings of the banner used. By default almost all web banners are set to automatically accept cookies, but users can change the default configuration through the settings of the banner used, which allow you to delete/remove all or some cookies or block the sending of cookies or limit them to certain sites.
Disabling/blocking cookies or deleting them may compromise the optimal use of certain areas of the site or prevent certain functionalities, as well as affect the functioning of third party services.
The configuration of cookie management depends on the banner used. Below you will find instructions and links to guides for cookie management of the main desktop banners:
