2. Definition of a cookie

Cookies are small strings of text sent by websites visited and stored on the device used to access these websites. When you visit the same website again, the browser reads the cookies stored on the device and resends the information to the website that originally created the cookies.

Our Website also uses various types of cookies to gather information in a passive form and other information reading and storage technologies on your device in order, for example, to perform statistical analysis, personalise and simplify your browsing experience and, with your consent, send promotional messages based on your interests.

3. Classification and categories of cookies

Cookies differ in terms of the different parties that install them on the user device and their different functions.

Depending on which party installs them, cookies are categorised as:

• first-party cookies (managed by the owner of the site visited) and
• third-party cookies (managed by a third party that is not the owner of the site visited).

Based on their function, cookies are divided into:

• technical cookies, essential for the website to function and for provision of the services offered by it, gather information, for example language preferences of the user, or allow articles to be saved while placing orders profiling cookies;
• aimed at creating and/or enriching user profiles and used to send and/or display advertising messages in line with the preferences indicated by the user during browsing.

Technical cookies can be subdivided into:

• browsing or session cookies, which guarantee normal browsing and use of the website (allowing, for example: purchases or authentication to access reserved areas);
• analytics cookies, equivalent to technical cookies when used directly by the manager of the site to gather information, in aggregate form, on the number of users and how they visit the site
• function cookies, which allow the user to browse based on a series of selected criteria (such as language or products selected for purchase), in order to improve the service provided to the user.

Cookies can be temporary (when they are automatically removed at the end of the session) or permanent (when they remain stored on the user device, unless the user removes them). Certain functions of cookies can be transferred to other technology similar to cookies, such as, for example, web beacons and transparent GIFs. Therefore, for the purposes of this Cookie Policy, the term “cookie” refers to cookies and all similar technology.

4. Cookies on the Website

Based on the above classification, the Controller informs you that the Website uses:

• technical cookies
• its own and third-party profiling cookies

Your prior consent is not required for installation of technical cookies. Their deactivation may make proper navigation of the Website impossible and/or make it impossible to use services, pages, functions or content available on the Website.

Your prior consent is required for installation of profiling cookies. This is optional. You can choose which profiling cookies to give your consent to. In the case of third-party profiling cookies, which are those installed/used by third parties that are not the Controller, you provide or refuse consent directly to the owner of the cookie in question, which the Controller simply provides a link to. Below is a table indicating the cookies used on the Website. [please consult the table]

Regarding analytics cookies, in order to analyse the points of most interest on the sites visited by the user, Google Analytics uses cookies for statistical purposes that gather data only in aggregate form, without associating the IP address used by the user for browsing with any other data in Google’s possession. In fact, tools have been adopted to reduce the identification capability of cookies by masking relevant portions of the IP address. Furthermore, appropriate Google Analytics settings have been adopted so that Google does not cross reference data gathered with other information already in its possession.

5. Social buttons
