We use cookies to make our site easier and more intuitive. The data collected through cookies is employed to make your browsing experience more enjoyable and efficient in the future.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are sent from the site to your terminal equipment (usually your browser), where they are stored and then sent back to the site the next time you visit. A cookie cannot retrieve any other data from the user’s hard drive, transmit computer viruses or capture 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 to both cookies as such and all similar technologies.
Types of cookies
Cookies can be first or third-party cookies, where ‘first-party’ means cookies that have the site as their domain and ‘third-party’ means cookies that relate to external domains.
Third-party cookies are necessarily installed by an external party, always defined as a “third-party”, not managed by the site. These parties may possibly also install first-party cookies by storing their own cookies on the site’s domain.
Another type of cookies is the so-called “Flash cookies” (Local Shared Objects), which are used within Adobe Flash Player to deliver certain content, such as video clips or animations, to remember settings and preferences. Flash cookies are stored on your device but are managed through a different interface than the one provided by your browser.
Nature of cookies
There are different types of cookies:
Technical cookies
Technical cookies are those used for the sole purpose of “carrying out the transmission of a communication over 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” (see Art. 122, paragraph 1 of the Code).
They are not used for further purposes and are normally installed directly by the owner or manager of the website. 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 site manager 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 series of selected criteria (e.g., language, products selected for purchase) to improve the service provided to the user. Users’ prior consent is not required for the installation of such cookies (more information in the section Cookie management 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 while surfing the web.
The consent of the person concerned is required for the use of profiling cookies. According to the measure (more information in the section Cookie management below) the user can authorize or deny consent to the installation of cookies through the options provided in the “Cookie management” section.
In the case of third-party cookies, the site has no direct control over 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 in the table below.

Here is a list of the cookies (grouped logically at the level of functionality or provider) present on this site. Third party cookies have a link to the privacy policy of the relevant third-party provider, where you can find a detailed description of each cookie and how it is processed.

Google Analytics
Google Analytics is an analytics tool from Google that helps website and app owners understand how visitors interact with their content. A set of cookies may be used to collect information and generate website usage statistics without personal identification of individual visitors by Google.
In addition to generating reports of website usage statistics, the Google Analytics pixel tag may be used, along with certain advertising cookies described above, to enable us to show more relevant results on Google properties (such as Google Search) and across the web.

Cookie lifetime
Cookies have a lifetime dictated by the expiration date (or a specific action such as closing your browser) set at the time of installation.
Cookies can be:
- Temporary or session cookies are used to store temporary information, such as links to actions performed during a specific session, and are removed from your computer when you close your browser.
- Persistent cookies are used to store information, such as your login name and password, so that you do not have to re-enter them each time you visit a specific site. They remain stored on your computer even after you close your browser.
Managing cookies
In compliance with the directives of the Personal Data Protection Code (Legislative Decree no. 196 of 30 June 2003, hereinafter referred to as the “Code”) and articles 13, paragraph 3 and 122, paragraph 1 and with reference to the provision of Identification of simplified procedures for the provision of information and acquisition of consent for the use of cookies – 8 May 2014 (Published in the Official Gazette no. 126 of 3 June 2014).
This website will keep track of the User’s consent(s) through a specific technical cookie considered by the Privacy Guarantor to be a “not particularly invasive” tool. The User may deny his/her consent and/or change his/her options regarding the use of cookies by this Website at any time by accessing this Privacy Policy which is “linkable” from every page of this Website.
At any time the User has the option to exercise the rights recognized by art. 7 of Legislative Decree 196/2003 and among others to obtain a copy of the processed data, their updating, their origin, the purpose and method of processing, their rectification or integration, their cancellation, transformation into anonymous form or blocking for processing in violation of the law and to oppose for legitimate reasons the processing.
To exercise these rights, write to this site to the attention of the Data Processor for the Marketing Area, domiciled for the office at the headquarters of this site or contact us through our site.
If consent has already been given but you wish to change the cookie permissions, you must delete them through your browser, as indicated below, otherwise those already installed will not be removed. Please note that it is not possible to control third-party cookies in any way, so if you have already given consent, you will need to delete the cookies through your browser (the opt-out section) or by asking the third party to opt out directly.
