Dear Data Subject,
Cookies are small text files sent by the website to the User’s device (typically to the browser), where they are stored and then sent back to the website during the User’s next visit. A cookie cannot retrieve any other data from the User’s hard drive, transmit computer viruses, or acquire email addresses. Each cookie is unique to the User’s web browser. Some cookie functions may be carried out through other technologies. In this document, the term “cookie” refers both to cookies in the strict sense and to similar technologies.
Cookies can be used to store information about preferences, such as the pages visited, files downloaded from the site, or other similar actions performed while browsing.
FIRST- OR THIRD-PARTY COOKIES
Cookies can be either first-party or third-party:
-
“First-party” cookies are created by the owner of the website itself.
-
“Third-party” cookies are created by entities other than the owner of the website.
TYPES OF COOKIES
There are various types of cookies based on their purpose:
Technical Cookies
Technical cookies are used solely to “carry out the transmission of a communication over an electronic communications network, or as strictly necessary for the provider of an information society service explicitly requested by the subscriber or user to provide that service” (see Article 122, paragraph 1 of the Privacy Code). They are not used for additional purposes and are typically installed directly by the website owner or operator.
They can be divided into:
-
Browsing or session cookies, which ensure normal browsing and use of the website (for example, enabling purchases or user authentication for access to restricted areas); these cookies are essential for the website to function properly.
-
Analytics cookies, which are considered technical cookies when used directly by the website operator to collect aggregated information on the number of users and how they visit the site, in order to improve site performance.
-
Functionality cookies, which allow the User to navigate according to a set of selected criteria (such as selected products, language, etc.) to enhance the service provided. These cookies do not require prior user consent.
Profiling Cookies
Profiling cookies are used to create User profiles and are employed to send advertising messages that align with the preferences shown by the User while browsing the web. The use of profiling cookies requires the User’s consent.
According to Provision No. 229 of May 8, 2014, Users must be given the option to grant or deny consent to the installation of profiling cookies when they are present.
In the case of third-party cookies, this website does not have direct control over individual cookies and cannot manage them (it cannot directly install or delete them). However, the User may manage these cookies through browser settings (see instructions below), or through the websites listed in the “Cookie Management” section.
Users are therefore encouraged to review the cookie policies on the websites of third parties.

Cookies can be:
- Temporary or session cookies (“session cookies”): used to store temporary information, they allow the linking of actions carried out during a specific session and are removed from the computer when the browser is closed;

COOKIE MANAGEMENT
Users can disable cookies used on websites by downloading specific software such as Ghostery (https://www.ghostery.com) for their browser and disabling the use of individual cookies. Alternatively, they can enable “private browsing” mode – a feature that allows browsing without storing any browsing data in the browser. This function only prevents browsing data from being saved in the browser.
As another option, users can disable/delete cookies through the configuration panel of their browser.

By continuing to browse this site, closing the banner, clicking any part of the page, or scrolling to view more content, you agree to the Cookie Policy, and cookies will be set and collected. If you do not accept cookies and leave the site, any cookies already stored locally in your browser will remain there but will no longer be read or used by us unless you later accept the policy. Users will always have the option to remove these cookies at any time using the methods mentioned above.
