Cookie Policy

This document explains our cookie policy to help you understand how your personal information is managed when you use our services. For further details on the processing of personal data on this website, you can also refer to our Privacy Policy.

1. What are cookies?

ICookies are small text files that websites visited by the user send and store on the user’s computer or mobile device, to be retransmitted to the same sites during subsequent visits.
Thanks to cookies, a website can remember the user’s actions and preferences (such as login data, chosen language, font size, and other display settings), so that the user does not need to re-enter them when returning to the site or browsing between pages.

Cookies are therefore used for computer authentication, session tracking, and storing information about user activities within a website. They may also contain a unique identifier that allows tracking of the user’s navigation on the site for statistical or advertising purposes.
While browsing a website, the user may also receive cookies from other websites or web servers (“third-party cookies”) on their device.

2. What are the main types of cookies?

There are different types of cookies, depending on their characteristics and purposes. They can remain stored on the user’s computer or mobile device for varying periods of time:

  • Session cookies – these are automatically deleted when the browser is closed.
  • Persistent cookies – these remain stored on the user’s device until a preset expiration date.

According to Italian law, user consent is not always required for the use of cookies.
In particular, “technical cookies”, meaning those used exclusively to transmit a communication over an electronic communications network or strictly necessary to provide a service explicitly requested by the user, do not require consent.
These cookies are essential for the proper functioning of the website or to enable activities requested by the user.

The following are also considered technical cookies and are therefore not subject to user consent:

  • Analytical cookies, if used directly by the website operator (first-party cookies) to collect aggregate information on the number of users and how they visit the site — or, if provided by third parties, when tools are adopted that reduce their identifying power (for example, by masking significant portions of the IP address);
  • Functionality cookies, which allow navigation based on selected criteria (such as language or selected products), in order to improve the quality of the service provided.ermettono la navigazione in base a criteri selezionati (come la lingua o i prodotti scelti), al fine di migliorare la qualità del servizio offerto.

Conversely, profiling cookies, used to create user profiles and send advertising messages aligned with the user’s online browsing preferences, require the user’s prior consent.

3. Categories of cookies

Cookies can be grouped into the following categories:

TypeCategory
Strictly necessary cookiesThese cookies enable the essential functions of the website, such as user access and account management. The website cannot function properly without them.
Performance cookiesThese cookies collect information about how visitors use the website (for example, analytical cookies). They cannot be used to directly identify a specific visitor.
Targeting cookiesAlso known as profiling cookies, they are used to identify visitors across different websites (for example, content partners, advertising networks). Companies may use them to create interest profiles of visitors or to display relevant ads on other sites.
Functionality cookiesThese cookies store user preferences and settings on the website, such as language, time zone, or personalized content.
Unclassified cookiesCookies that do not belong to any of the above categories or that are currently being classified.

4. What cookies are commonly found on websites?

The most commonly used cookies on websites include, for example:

  • Session management cookies, for user authentication and navigation;
  • Analytical cookies, for traffic and performance measurement;
  • Preference cookies, to remember language or layout choices;
  • Marketing cookies, for advertising and audience measurement;

6. Cookie management

Users can decide whether to accept or reject cookies through their browser settings.

Warning: disabling—even partially—technical cookies may affect the operation of areas reserved for registered users.
Public content, however, remains accessible even if all cookies are disabled.
Disabling third-party cookies does not affect site navigation in any way.

Cookie settings can be configured specifically for each website and application.
Most browsers also allow you to distinguish between first-party and third-party cookies.
