Cookie policy
Under applicable regulations, the use of cookies does not always require the explicit consent of the user. In particular, “technical cookies” — those used solely to ensure the proper functioning of the Website or to provide a service explicitly requested by the user — generally do not require such consent.
On the other hand, the use of cookies that are not strictly necessary for the Website to function, but are instead aimed at collecting statistical data or creating user profiles to send advertising messages tailored to user preferences while browsing, typically does require the user’s prior consent, in accordance with applicable laws.
Types of Cookies
Below is an overview of the main types of cookies:
Technical cookies: essential for the operation of the website or to allow the user to access requested content and services.
Analytical cookies: used to provide statistical data to the website operator, such as the total number of visitors or page views in a given time frame. These may be considered technical cookies if they are used directly by the site owner for website optimization. If statistical analysis is conducted by third parties, user data must be minimized and not combined with other data or shared with further third parties.
Functionality cookies: used to enable specific features of the website and to store selected preferences (e.g., language), in order to enhance the service provided.
Profiling cookies: used to profile the user based on their behavior on the website. Typically used to deliver advertising messages that match the user’s browsing preferences.
Social network cookies: allow users to share website content on social networks, or to activate “Like” or “Follow” features. These functions allow social networks to identify users and collect data even while they browse other websites.
Cookie Source
Cookies can also be categorized based on their origin:
First-party cookies (proprietary cookies): created and used exclusively by the web server of the Website and not shared with third parties. These are typically used to personalize the browsing experience by recognizing returning users. They cannot be read on domains other than the one they were created on.
Third-party cookies: created by domains other than the one the user is visiting. These cookies may be read across domains that support the server code that created them. Third parties may act as independent data controllers pursuing their own purposes, or as processors operating on behalf of the Website owner.
Cookie Settings
Enabling/Disabling Cookies: Except for cookies strictly necessary for the functioning of the Website and for providing requested services, users can block third-party cookies using the cookie preference tool available on the site.
For third-party tracking tools acting as independent Data Controllers, users can manage preferences and withdraw consent via their tools.
Cookie preferences selected by the user are stored in a dedicated cookie. However, in some cases, this cookie may not function properly. In such cases, the Controller recommends manually deleting unwanted cookies and blocking them through browser settings.
Managing Cookies via Browser
Users can also remove existing cookies and block new ones via browser settings. If users want to decide whether to accept cookies case by case, they can configure the browser to display a notification each time a cookie is saved.
Most popular browsers allow users to block only third-party cookies, while accepting first-party cookies.
Please note: disabling or deleting technical and/or functionality cookies may result in the Website not functioning correctly or some services/features being unavailable. In such cases, the user may need to manually adjust settings or re-enter preferences on each visit.
