What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that websites visited by the user send and store on their device, to then be re-sent to the same sites upon the next visit. Thanks to cookies, a website remembers the user's actions and preferences so they do not have to be re-entered every time the user visits the site or navigates from one page to another. Cookies can therefore be used for computer authentication, session tracking, and storing information regarding the activities of users who access a site. They may also contain a unique identifier code that allows tracking of user activity within the site for statistical or advertising purposes.

While browsing a site, users may also receive cookies on their device from websites or web servers other than the one they are visiting (so-called “third-party” cookies). Some operations would not be possible without the use of cookies, which in certain cases are therefore technically necessary for the operation of the site.

Types of Cookies

There are various types of cookies, depending on their characteristics and functions, and they can remain on the user’s device for different periods of time: so-called session cookies, which are automatically deleted when the browser is closed, and persistent cookies, which remain on the device until a set expiration date.

Under current Italian law, user consent is not always required for the use of cookies. In particular, so-called "technical" cookies—used solely to carry out the transmission of a communication over an electronic communications network, or strictly necessary to provide a service explicitly requested by the user—do not require consent. These are essential cookies for the proper functioning of the site or necessary for performing user-requested activities.

Among technical cookies, which do not require prior consent, the Italian Data Protection Authority (see Provision “Identification of simplified procedures for information and obtaining consent for the use of cookies - May 8, 2014”) includes:

• Analytics cookies, when used directly by the site manager to collect information in aggregate form on the number of users and how they visit the site.

• Navigation or session cookies, which ensure normal browsing and use of the website (for example, to make a purchase or log in to restricted areas).

• Functionality cookies, which allow the user to navigate according to a set of selected criteria (e.g., language, selected products for purchase) to improve the service provided.

For profiling cookies, i.e., those aimed at creating user profiles to send advertising messages in line with the preferences shown during browsing, the user’s prior consent is required.

What Types of Cookies This Site Uses

This site uses:

• Technical cookies, such as navigation or session cookies, strictly necessary for the operation of the site or for allowing the user to access requested content and services.

• Functionality cookies, which allow navigation based on selected criteria (such as language or selected products), to improve the service provided.

• Third-party cookies, i.e., cookies from websites or web servers other than this one, used for the purposes of those third parties.

For further information on the processing of personal data pursuant to Art. 13 of Legislative Decree 196/2003 – Privacy Code, please refer to the site’s Privacy Policy.
