1. What are cookies

Cookies are small text files sent to the user by the website visited. They are stored on the computer’s hard disk, thus allowing the website to recognize users and store certain information about them, in order to allow or improve the service offered.

There are different types of cookies. Some are necessary to navigate the Site, others have different purposes such as ensuring internal security, administering the system, performing statistical analysis, understanding which sections of the Site are of most interest to users or offering a personalized visit to the Site.

The Site uses technical cookies and not profiling cookies. The foregoing refers both to the user’s computer and to any other device that the user can use to connect to the Site.

Technical cookies

Technical cookies are those used for the sole purpose of transmitting a communication on 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.

They are not used for other purposes and are normally installed directly by the owner or manager of the website.

They can be divided into navigation or session cookies, which guarantee normal navigation and use of the website (allowing, for example, to make a purchase or authenticate to access reserved areas); analytics cookies, assimilated to technical cookies when used directly by the site manager 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 (for example, the language, the products selected for purchase) in order to improve the service provided to the user.

Profiling cookies

Profiling cookies are designed to create profiles relating to the user and are used in order to send advertising messages in line with the preferences expressed by the user while browsing the internet.

The consent of the interested party is required for the use of profiling cookies. According to provision no. 229 of 8 May 2014, the user must be able to authorize or deny consent to the installation of profiling cookies if they are present.
