Cookie policy

1. What are Cookies

Cookies are small text files that the websites visited send to the user's device, where they are stored to collect information through the browser and to be re-transmitted to the same websites on the next visit. They are mainly used to measure and improve the quality of sites by analyzing visitor behaviour.

Cookies and similar technologies are information that sites and apps send or read on your devices on the first visit, to then be re-transmitted to the same sites or apps on the next visit. Precisely thanks to these technologies, sites and apps remember actions and preferences (such as, for example, login data, the chosen language, font size, other display settings, etc.) so that they do not have to be indicated again on the next visit.

These technologies are used to perform computer authentication, session monitoring and storage of information regarding the activities of users who access a service , and may also contain a unique identification code that allows tracking of user navigation within the site for statistical or advertising purposes.

There are in fact different types of Cookies which, depending on their characteristics and functions, could persist on your device for different periods of time: the so-called session Cookies, which are automatically deleted when you close the browser; and the so-called persistent Cookies, which remain on your device up to a pre-established time.

In line with the Applicable Law, your prior consent for the use of Cookies is not always required. In particular, this consent is not required for "Technical cookies", e.g. those used for the sole purpose of carrying a communication through an electronic communications network, or strictly necessary to provide a service expressly requested by the user. In other words, Cookies which are indispensable for the operation of a site.

Your prior consent is instead required for non-anonymised "analytical" cookies and for profiling cookies, for example those that provide statistical analysis on the use of a website or that create user profiles to send them advertising messages in line with preferences that they have expressed during navigation.
