This policy is effective as of April 19, 2024 (“Effective Date”).

Cookies: what they are and what they are used for.

Cookies are small text files that websites visited by you send and store on your computer or mobile device, and are then retransmitted to the same website the next time you visit.  Thanks to cookies, a website remembers the user’s actions and preferences so that they do not have to be entered again when the user returns to visit the website or navigates from one page to another.

Cookies, therefore, can be used to perform computer authentication, session monitoring and storage of information regarding the activities of users who access the website. Cookies may contain a unique identification code that allows the user’s navigation within the website itself to be tracked for statistical or advertising purposes.

While browsing a website, the user may also receive cookies from websites or web servers, other than the one they are visiting, on their computer or mobile device ( called ‘third-party’ cookies).  Some operations could not be carried out without the use of cookies, and therefore, in some cases cookies are  technically necessary for the website to function.

In general, there are various types of cookies, depending on their characteristics and functions, and these can remain on the user’s computer or mobile device for different periods of time.  These include:

  • “session cookies,” which are automatically deleted when the browser is closed;
  • “persistent cookies,” which remain on the user’s equipment until a predetermined expiration date;
  • “technical cookies,” which are used for the sole purpose of carrying out the transmission of a communication on an electronic communications network, or necessary to provide a service explicitly requested by the user.  These cookies are essential for the operation of a website or necessary to perform activities requested by the user.  They do not require the consent of the user to be implemented by a website;
  • “analytics cookies” which are used directly by a website manager to collect information, in aggregate form, on the number of users and how they use the website;
  • “functionality cookies,” which allow the user to browse according to a series of selected criteria (e.g., language or products selected for purchase) for the purpose of improving the services rendered to the user of the website;
  • “profiling cookies,” are those aimed at creating profiles related to the user, for the purpose of sending advertising messages in line with the preferences expressed by the user while web browsing.
