Cookies
Cookies are small text files that websites send to your browser when you visit them. These files store certain information about your browsing, such as the pages you've visited, and send it back to the website when you return. There are also third-party cookies, which come from other websites that are different from the one you are visiting, because certain content (like ads or videos) is loaded from other servers. Cookies can have different purposes depending on how they are used by the website.
Technical Cookies
Technical cookies are used for the transmission of communication over an electronic communication network or, to the extent strictly necessary, for the service provider of an information society service explicitly requested by the subscriber or user to provide that service (see Article 122, paragraph 1 of the Personal Data Protection Code – Legislative Decree 196/2003, as amended by Legislative Decree 101/2018). The activities carried out by technical cookies are strictly necessary for the enjoyment of the websites that contain them.
The installation of these cookies does not require the visitor’s consent, but the site manager is obliged to provide information in accordance with Article 13 of Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (GDPR).
Profiling Cookies
Profiling cookies track the user’s browsing and create a profile based on their choices and browsing habits. In this way, the user can receive personalised advertising messages aligned with their preferences displayed during their online activity.
Profiling cookies can only be installed after the user has been informed of their presence and has explicitly consented to their use, according to Article 6, paragraph 1, letter a), and Article 7 of Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (GDPR), which regulate informed consent and its withdrawal.
Analytical Cookies
Analytical cookies are used to monitor the correct functioning of the website and to perform statistical analysis. They collect information in an anonymous form regarding the use of the website by users, such as the number of visitors, pages visited, duration of visits, and other statistics that help improve the user experience. These cookies are provided exclusively by third parties, such as Google Analytics.
In accordance with Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (GDPR), analytical cookies can only be installed after the user has expressed informed consent, except when cookies are necessary for the proper functioning of the website (for example, to store the preferred language or browsing preferences).
