Cookie policy

What are cookies?

Cookies are short pieces of text (letters and/or numbers) that the websites you visit send to your device (the browser on your computer, tablet or smartphone), where they are stored and then sent back to the same websites on your next visit. Cookies can be session cookies (deleted when you close the browser) or persistent cookies (stored until they expire or are deleted).

Cookies are stored by each browser on the specific device used, according to the user's preferences.

Similar technologies (for example web beacons, pixels, tags, SDKs, transparent GIFs and the forms of local storage introduced with HTML5) can be used to collect information on user behaviour and on the use of services.

In the rest of this document, we refer to cookies and all similar technologies simply as "cookies".

Types of cookies

Cookies can be first-party or third-party: "first-party" cookies are set by the owner of the website, while "third-party" cookies are set by other parties through services integrated into the website's pages.

By their nature, cookies can be of different types:

1. Technical (necessary) cookies
   Technical cookies are used only to transmit a communication over an electronic communications network, or to the extent strictly necessary to provide a service explicitly requested by the user. They are not used for other purposes and are normally installed directly by the owner or operator of the website. They include:
   • browsing or session cookies, which ensure normal browsing and use of the website and are necessary for it to work properly;
   • functionality cookies, which let users browse according to selected criteria (for example, the language) in order to improve the service provided;
   • analytics/measurement cookies, used to collect statistical information on the use of the website. When used with third-party tools or in non-strictly technical ways, they may require consent.
2. Profiling / marketing cookies
   Profiling cookies are used to create user profiles and to send advertising messages in line with the preferences shown while browsing (e.g. remarketing, conversion measurement).

The use of profiling/marketing cookies requires the data subject's consent. For third-party cookies, the website has no direct control over the individual cookies (it cannot install or delete them directly), but users can manage them through the cookie banner and/or their browser settings.
