Cookies

This notice describes “what cookies are” and the types of cookies used on our website.

What are cookies?

A cookie is a simple text file that is stored on the user’s computer or mobile device by a website server and can be read or retrieved by the server itself. It contains certain information and allows the website to remember, for example, the user’s preferences. The Electronic Communications Directive and the Italian Data Protection Authority’s measure of May 8, 2014, no. 229, regarding the “Identification of simplified procedures for information notices and the acquisition of consent for the use of cookies”, provide that the use of cookies may only be allowed with the user’s consent.

Do we use cookies on our website?

Yes. Cookies are used to improve our website and to provide services and features to users. You can limit or disable the use of cookies through your web browser. However, in this case some website features may become inaccessible.

Why do we use cookies?

Cookies may be used for several reasons. In some parts of our website, cookies are essential and without them you may not be able, for example, to browse the website properly or view lists. We are always looking for ways to improve our website and to better spread knowledge of our services. To do this, it is important for us to understand how our website is used. Cookies also help us provide a better and richer experience: if something is found interesting, you may want to “Like” it on Facebook or tweet it (cookies facilitate these operations).

What types of cookies are used on our website?

Technical cookies
Technical cookies are those 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 subscriber or user to provide such service” (see Article 122, paragraph 1, of the Privacy Code).

They are not used for any further purposes and are normally installed directly by the owner or manager of the website. They may be divided into:

Browsing or session cookies
These are used to record data useful for normal browsing and use of the website on the user’s computer (allowing, for example, the preferred page size in a list to be remembered). These cookies may then be distinguished according to how long they remain on the user’s computer: those that are automatically deleted at the end of each browsing session are called session cookies. If, on the other hand, they have a longer lifespan, they are called persistent cookies.

Functional cookies
These cookies allow the website to remember the choices made by the user in order to optimize functionality. For example, functional cookies allow the website to remember a user’s specific settings, such as country selection and, if enabled, permanent login status.

Analytical cookies
These cookies allow data to be collected about the user’s use of the website, including the elements clicked during browsing, in order to improve the performance and design of the website itself. They may be shared with our third-party analytics tool providers. However, they are used exclusively for purposes related to our website.

Third-party cookies
These cookies are related to services provided by third parties, such as “Like” and “Share” features, and monitor the effectiveness of advertising. The third party provides these services in exchange for information regarding the user’s visit to our website. Consequently, third-party cookie providers are also required to comply with the applicable regulations. For this reason, we refer you to the web pages of third-party websites, where users can find cookie consent collection forms and the related privacy notices. If services are provided through indirect contacts with third parties, users should consult the websites of the parties acting as intermediaries between us and those third parties.

There are no third-party cookies on this website.

How can cookies be disabled or removed?

Most browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can also choose not to accept them. We do not recommend this option because it may prevent normal browsing and the use of all website features. If you do not want your computer to receive and store cookies, you can change your browser’s security settings (Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, Safari, etc.). In any case, please note that certain parts of our website can only be fully used if your browser accepts cookies; otherwise, you may not be able, for example, to access restricted areas. Consequently, your choice to remove and not accept cookies may negatively affect your experience on our website.
