Cookie Policy
Pursuant to personal data protection regulations (D. Lgs. n. 196/03 and subsequent amendments), this website is required to provide information regarding its cookie policy to disclose the procedures followed for the collection of information provided by users through cookies and/or other tracking technologies.
Important Information on Consent
By using this website or receiving our emails that refer to this website, you consent to the use of cookies in accordance with this Cookie Policy.
Definition and Purpose - What Are Cookies
Web pages do not have memory functions. As you navigate from one page to another on a website, you will not be recognized as the same user on each of the pages. A cookie is a small text file in which some information about your browsing is stored. Cookies allow you to be recognized by the website as a unique user. They are sent by the website to your device (computer, tablet, smartphone, notebook, etc.) to be stored and then retransmitted on your next visit.
Cookies are essential for the functioning of the Internet and ensure more efficient operation of the website, enhancing the browsing experience, for example:
- remembering the settings entered, so you do not have to change them every time you access a new page;
- storing the information entered (e.g., username, language, browser type, etc.).
Types of Cookies
undefinedIn this regard, and for the purposes of this provision, two main categories are identified: 'technical' cookies and 'profiling' cookies.
undefined-
Technical Cookies
Technical cookies are used solely for the 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 art. 122, paragraph 1, of the Code).
They are not used for any other purpose and are normally installed directly by the website owner or operator. They can be divided into navigation or session cookies, which ensure normal browsing and use of the website (allowing, for example, to make a purchase or authenticate to access restricted areas); analytics cookies, similar to technical cookies when used directly by the site operator to collect information, in aggregate form, on the number of users and how they visit the site; functionality cookies, which allow the user to navigate according to a series of selected criteria (e.g., language, products selected for purchase) in order to improve the service provided to the user.
No prior consent of users is required for the installation of such cookies, although the obligation to provide information under art. 13 of the Code remains, which the site operator, if using only such devices, may provide in the manner it deems most appropriate.

Third-Party Tracking Cookies
These types of cookies are used to collect information on the use of the website by visitors, the keywords used to reach the site, the websites visited, and the traffic sources from which visitors originate for marketing campaigns. The owner may use this information to compile reports and improve the website. Cookies collect information anonymously. These types of cookies are sent from the website itself or from third-party domains. -
Third-Party Functionality Integration Cookies
These types of cookies are used to integrate third-party functionalities into the website (e.g., comment forms or social network icons that allow visitors to share site content). Cookies of this category may be sent from partner site domains or those offering the functionalities present on the site. -
Profiling Cookies
Profiling cookies are aimed at creating user profiles and are used to send advertising messages in line with the preferences expressed by the user while browsing the web. Due to the particular invasiveness that these devices may have in the private sphere of users, European and Italian regulations require that the user be adequately informed about their use and express valid consent.
These are referred to in art. 122 of the Code, which provides that 'the storage of information in the terminal device of a contractor or user or the access to information already stored is permitted only on the condition that the contractor or user has given their consent after being informed with the simplified methods referred to in article 13, paragraph 3' (art. 122, paragraph 1, of the Code).

Cookie Duration
undefinedSome cookies are automatically deleted at the end of the browsing session, while others remain stored on devices, typically hosted in the browser used (e.g., Google Chrome, Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, etc.). The duration of cookies can therefore be of two types:
-
Temporary Cookies
Temporary cookies (or session cookies) are removed from the computer when the browser is closed. They are used to store temporary information, such as the items in the cart. Almost all cookies from websites visited are session cookies whose activity ends when the browser is closed. -
Persistent Cookies
Persistent cookies are stored on users' computers or other devices during a browsing session but remain on the computer or other device after the end of that browsing session. Persistent cookies serve various functions in the interests of users (they are used to store information, such as login name and password, so that they do not have to be re-entered every time a specific site is visited). They can remain stored on the device for a variable period, but nevertheless determined, depending on the function they perform.
These two types of cookies (session and persistent) can themselves be either 'proprietary' or 'third-party'.
When we talk about proprietary cookies, we mean cookies transmitted by the website owner. When we talk about third-party cookies, we mean cookies transmitted by third parties, therefore set by a website other than the one currently being visited. The latter are under the direct and exclusive responsibility of the third-party manager.
You can delete all cookies from your browser at any time. However, permanently disabling all cookies may cause difficulties in navigation or, sometimes, make it impossible to use some functionalities of the website.
