Cookie Policy

What are cookies? 

Cookies are small text files sent from the site to the user’s browser, where they are stored before being re-transmitted to the site once the same user visits the site again. Through cookies, it is possible to record information related to your preferences, such as the pages you browsed or file downloads, or other similar actions carried out while browsing the site. By disabling cookies, some of our services may not function properly and you will not be able to access many features designed to optimize your website browsing experience. For more information on managing or disabling browser cookies, see the last section of this document.
Cookie Duration

The cookies’ lifespan in the user’s browser is determined at the time of its creation; depending on the duration, cookies can be distinguished between: 

• Session: they are used to store temporary information, allowing you to link actions performed during a specific session to be then removed from the computer once you close the browser;
• Persistent: they are used to store information that needs to be accessible for a longer period than the session; they are characterized by an expiration date that can be more or less close depending on the purpose of the individual cookie. These remain stored on your computer even after closing the browser.

Nature of cookies

Cookies can be distinguished by origin:

• First-party cookies: normally this type of cookie comes from the same domain of the site you’re browsing. This is called a First-party cookie. They can both be session or persistent;
• Third-party cookies: third-party cookies belong to domains other than the one shown in the address bar. These types of cookies typically appear when web pages feature content (such as advertising banners) from external websites. This implies the possibility of tracking the user's browsing history and is often used by advertisers in an attempt to serve relevant and personalized ads for each user. Most modern web browsers contain privacy settings that can block third-party cookies.

Or by purpose:

• Technical cookies: used for navigation and to facilitate access and website use for the user. Technical cookies are essential to interact with the site contents or to allow the persistence of access information without having to be continuously re-entered by the user (navigation cookies), to keep track of the chosen language, or settings (functionality cookies).
• Analytical cookies: they are used for site optimization purposes directly by the site owner, who may collect information in aggregate form on the number of users and how they visit the site. Under these conditions, the same rules apply to analytical cookies, in terms of information and consent, as provided for technical cookies.
• Profiling cookies: these cookies have the purpose of providing, for example, targeted advertising to the user as they are based on the user’s behavior on the site, so as to be able to display content that is more interesting for the behavior and interests demonstrated during the user’s browsing or to prevent the appearance of services that were already refused in the past.
• Social Network cookies: these are cookies that allow you to share the site contents you are visiting to other users. These are the typically employed cookies to activate the "Like" or "Follow" functions on social networks such as Facebook and Twitter, just to name a few. These functions allow social networks to identify their users and collect information even while they browse other sites.
