WHAT ARE COOKIES? Cookies are small text files sent from the site to the data subject’s terminal (usually the browser), where they are stored and then transmitted back to the site the next time the same user visits. A cookie cannot retrieve any other data from the user’s hard drive or transmit computer viruses or acquire email addresses. Each cookie is unique to the user’s web browser. Some of the functions of cookies may be delegated to other technologies. In this document the term ‘cookies’ is intended to refer both to cookies, properly so called, and to all similar technologies.
Through cookies, we can record information about your preferences, such as the pages you browse or download files from our. site or other similar actions made by browsing our site.
FIRST- OR THIRD-PARTY COOKIES Cookies can be either first- or third-party, where “first-party” means cookies developed by the Site Owner itself, and “third-party” means cookies developed by Third Parties with respect to the Site Owner.
NATURE OF CO OKIES Relative to the nature of cookies, there are several types:
Technical cookies technical cookies, used for the sole purpose of “carrying out the transmission of a communication over an electronic communications network, or to the extent strictly necessary for the provider of an information society service explicitly requested by the contracting party or user to provide such a service” (see Article 122, paragraph 1 of the Code). They are not used for any further purposes and are normally installed directly by the owner or operator of the website. They can be divided into:
– navigation or session cookies, which ensure normal navigation and use of the website (allowing, for example, to make a purchase or authenticate to access restricted areas); they are in fact necessary for the proper functioning of the site;
– analytical cookies, assimilated to 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 performance of the site;
– Functionality cookies, which allow the user to navigate according to a set of selected criteria (e.g., language, products selected for purchase) in order to improve the service rendered to the user. Users’ prior consent is not required for the installation of such cookies (more information in the Managing Cookies section below).
Profiling cookies the profiling cookies, used to trace back to specific, identified or identifiable subjects specific actions or recurring behavioral patterns in the use of the offered functionalities (pattern) in order to group the different profiles within homogeneous clusters of different width, so that it is also possible for the owner to modulate the provision of the service in an increasingly personalized way beyond what is strictly necessary for the provision of the service, as well as to send targeted advertising messages, i.e. in line with the preferences expressed by the user in the context of web browsing.
In the case of third-party cookies, the site has no direct control over individual cookies and cannot control them (it can neither install them directly nor delete them). You can still manage these cookies through your browser settings or the sites listed in the “Accepting and Opting Out of Cookies” section.
The User is therefore urged to check the third party site listed below.

ACCEPTANCE AND WAIVER OF COOKIES
Users’ consent is not required for the installation of technical and analytical cookies.
Profiling cookies or other tracking tools, on the other hand, can only be used if the user has given consent after being informed. This site uses a banner that allows those who wish to do so to express their consent.
The user who does not wish to lend it, can close the banner by selecting the button with an X located at the top right of the banner, maintaining the default settings that do not allow the use of cookies or other tracking tools other than technical.
If you wish, you can also manage cookies directly through your browser settings. However, deleting cookies from your browser may remove the preferences you have set for this site, so it would be wise for you to visit this page periodically to recheck your choices.
