Cookie policy

A “cookie” is a small text file that may be stored in a dedicated area on the hard drive of the device used by the user (e.g., computer, tablet, smartphone, etc.) when visiting a website through their browser. The user’s prior consent may be required before a cookie is installed. Certain operations could not be carried out without cookies, which in some cases are technically necessary for the Website itself to function.

Under applicable law, the use of cookies does not always require the user’s express consent. In particular, consent is not required for so-called “technical cookies”, namely those used solely to transmit a communication over an electronic communications network or to the extent strictly necessary to provide a service expressly requested by the user. In other words, these cookies are essential for the website to function or are otherwise necessary to carry out activities requested by the user. The Italian data protection authority (Autorità Garante per la Protezione dei Dati Personali) also includes the following among technical cookies, whose use does not require express consent:

• first-party and third-party analytics cookies used to collect aggregate information on the number of users and how they visit the website, provided that measures are taken to reduce the cookies’ ability to identify users and the third party does not combine the information collected with other information already in its possession;

• browsing or session cookies (for authentication), the disabling of which impairs the use of services requiring users to log in;

• functionality cookies, which allow users to browse according to a set of selected criteria (for example, language or products selected for purchase) in order to improve the service provided to them.

Conversely, the user’s prior consent is required for “profiling cookies”, namely those intended to identify the user’s preferences and improve their browsing experience, as well as for third-party “analytics cookies” where no measures are taken to reduce the cookies’ ability to identify users and the third party combines the information collected with other information already in its possession.

The Website uses only technical cookies that are strictly necessary for it to function, as well as analytics cookies treated as equivalent to technical cookies because they only allow the collection of aggregate information on the number of users visiting the Website. In particular, the Website uses the following cookies:

Consent is not required for the cookies used on the Website. Failure to allow the installation of technical cookies could make it impossible to use the Website and view its content.
