WHAT ARE COOKIES?
Cookies are small text files sent by the site to the terminal equipment of the person interested (usually the browser), where they are stored and then transmitted back to the site the next time the same user visits. A cookie cannot retrieve any other data from the user’s hard disk or transmit computer viruses or acquire email addresses. Each cookie is unique to the user’s web browser. Some of the functions of cookies may be delegated to other technologies. In this document the term ‘cookies’ refers both to cookies, properly so called, and to all similar technologies.
Cookies can be used to record information about your preferences, such as the pages you browse or the downloading of files from our site or other similar actions you take while browsing our site.
FIRST OR THIRD PARTY COOKIES
Cookies may be first or third party cookies, where “first party” means cookies developed by the Site Owner itself, and “third party” means cookies developed by third parties other than the Site Owner.
NATURE OF COOKIES
Regarding the nature of cookies, there are different types:
- Technical cookies
Technical cookies are those used for the only purpose of carrying out the transmission of a communication over an electronic communication 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 any further purposes and are normally installed directly by the website owner or operator. They can be divided into:
– navigation or session cookies, which ensure normal navigation and use of the website (allowing, for example, to make a purchase or authenticate to access restricted areas); they are in fact necessary for the proper functioning of the site;
– analytics cookies, assimilated to technical cookies where they are used directly by the website operator to collect information, in aggregate form, on the number of users and how they visit the site, in order to improve the performance of the site
– functionality cookies, which allow the user to navigate according to a set of selected criteria (e.g. language, products selected for purchase) in order to improve the service rendered to the same. Users’ prior consent is not required for the installation of such cookies (more information in the Managing cookies section below).
- Profiling cookies
Profiling cookies are designed to create profiles of the user and are used to send advertising messages in line with the preferences expressed by the user when surfing the web.
The consent of the person concerned is required for the use of profiling cookies. According to the measure n. 229 dell’8 maggio 2014 the user must be able to authorise or deny consent to the installation of profiling cookies if they are present.
In the case of third-party cookies, the site has no direct control over the individual cookies and cannot control them (it can neither directly install nor delete them). You can however manage these cookies through your browser settings (follow the instructions below), or the sites indicated in the “Cookie Management” section.
You are therefore invited to check the third party site indicated below.

COOKIES DURATION
Cookies have a lifetime dictated by the expiry date (or a specific action such as closing the browser) set at the time of installation. Cookies can be:
- temporary or session cookies: these are used to store temporary information, link actions performed during a specific session and are removed from your computer when you close your browser;
- persistent cookies: these are used to store information, such as your login name and password, so that you do not have to re-type them each time you visit a specific site. These remain stored on the computer even after closing the browser.
The so-called session cookies, once the connection to this website is terminated, are not stored. The computer systems used for this site use both temporary and permanent cookies.
COOKIE MANAGEMENT
You can deactivate cookies on websites by downloading special software such as Ghostery for your browser and disabling the use of individual cookies. Or you can activate the “anonymous surfing” mode – this is a function that allows you to surf without leaving any trace of your surfing data in the browser. This function only allows you to keep no browsing data in the browser.
Alternatively, you can disable/delete cookies by accessing the configuration panel of your browser.
