Information on the use of cookies
This website uses cookies to improve the usability of content by the user and to optimize the performance of the site. In this page you can find information on the use of cookies, how they are used on this site and how to manage them.
WHAT ARE COOKIES?
Cookies are text files that the web server sends to the user’s browser, which in turn stores them on the site visitor’s hard disk. Cookies contain information that can be read later by the web server, during the same visit (session cookies) or after days, months or years (persistent cookies).
COOKIE CATEGORIES
The Guarantor for the protection of personal data has identified two macro-categories of cookies: “technical” cookies and “profiling” cookies, distinguished on the basis of their characteristics and purpose of use.
TECHNICAL COOKIES
Technical cookies are those used for the sole purpose of “transmitting a communication over an electronic communications network, or to the extent strictly necessary for the provider of an information society service explicitly requested by the subscriber or user to provide this service “(see Article 122, paragraph 1, of the Code).
They are not used for other purposes and are normally installed directly by the owner or operator of the website. They can be divided into:
Browsing or session cookies, which guarantee the normal navigation and use of the website (allowing, for example, to make a purchase or authenticate to access restricted areas);
Analytical cookies, similar to technical cookies when used directly by the site operator to collect information, in aggregate form, on the number of users and how they visit the site;
Functionality cookies, which allow the user to browse according to a series of selected criteria (for example, the language, the products selected for purchase) in order to improve the service provided.
For the installation of these cookies the prior consent of users is not required.
PROFILING COOKIES
Profiling cookies are designed to create profiles related to the user and are used in order to send advertising messages in line with the preferences expressed by the same in the context of surfing the net. Because of the particular invasiveness that such devices can have in the private sphere of users, European and Italian legislation requires the user to be adequately informed about their use and express their valid consent.
