Cookie policy

Cookies are small text files that the websites visited by the user send to their device (computer, tablet, smartphone), where they are stored and then transmitted back to the same websites on the user’s subsequent visits. A cookie cannot retrieve any other data from the user’s hard drive, nor transmit computer viruses or acquire email addresses. Each cookie is unique to the user’s web browser. Some cookie functions may be carried out by other technologies. In this document, the term “cookie” refers both to cookies in the strict sense and to all similar technologies. Through cookies, it is possible to record information relating to user preferences, such as pages visited, file downloads from our website, or other similar actions performed while browsing our website.

 

FIRST-PARTY AND THIRD-PARTY COOKIES 

Cookies may be first-party or third-party cookies. “First-party cookies” are those installed by the website owner, while “third-party cookies” are those installed by parties other than the website owner.

If these conditions are not met, analytical cookies are considered profiling cookies and require the user’s prior consent.
