Cookie Policy

This document outlines the procedures followed for collecting user information when visiting this website, through cookies and/or other tracking technologies. It also provides guidance on how to refuse or delete cookies.

Users can express their consent to the use of cookies by clicking the ACCEPT button, by continuing to browse the website without accepting, or by setting their own preferences.

What is a cookie?

Cookies are text strings made up of small pieces of code sent by a web server (e.g., a website) to an internet browser, where they are stored and later sent back to the same site upon subsequent visits. They are small text files that websites send to users’ devices, where they are stored and then retransmitted to the same sites on future visits.

Most browsers are set to automatically accept cookies on users’ devices.

Cookies serve various purposes and may be used by the Data Controller, Joint Controllers, or third parties. These cookies may fall into the following categories (as classified by Opinion 04/2012 on cookie consent exemption issued by the Article 29 Working Party):

Session or persistent cookies

Cookies may expire at the end of a browser session (the time between a user opening and closing the browser) or be stored for longer.

• Session cookies allow websites to link user actions during a single browser session and are deleted when the session ends.

• Persistent cookies remain on the user’s device between browser sessions and are used to remember preferences or actions across different visits.

Technical vs. profiling cookies

• Technical cookies are used solely to carry out the transmission of a communication over an electronic communications network, or to the extent strictly necessary to provide an information society service explicitly requested by the user. These cookies do not require prior user consent when directly managed by the site operator.

• Profiling cookies are used to create user profiles to send advertising messages aligned with the user’s browsing preferences. Given the potential impact on user privacy, EU and Italian regulations require that users receive clear notice via a short cookie banner and a more detailed cookie policy. Users must explicitly consent to profiling cookies the first time they visit the website. Consent may be provided via the banner or through individual preference settings. Consent is tracked for future visits but can be revoked at any time.

First-party vs. third-party cookies

• First-party cookies are set and/or managed by the website owner. The responsibility for providing information, obtaining consent, and enabling the blocking of such cookies lies with the website owner.

• Third-party cookies are set by a domain other than the one the user is visiting. Third-party providers are responsible for informing users and managing consent, while the website owner is required to link to their respective cookie and privacy policies.

In accordance with Article 4(7) of the GDPR, the Data Controller is the person or entity that determines the purposes and means of processing personal data.
