Cookies Policy
What are cookies?
In English, the term “cookie” refers to a small baked treat, but in the context of web browsing, a “cookie” is something entirely different. When you access our Website, a small amount of text, known as a “cookie,” is stored in your device’s browser. This text contains various information about your browsing, habits, preferences, content customization, and more.
There are other technologies that work similarly and are also used to collect data about your browsing activity. We will refer to all these technologies collectively as “cookies.”
The specific uses we make of these technologies are described in this document.

What types of cookies are used on this website?
Each website uses its own cookies. On our website, we use the following types:
BY ENTITY MANAGING THEM
First-party cookies:
These are cookies sent to the user’s device from a domain managed by the website’s editor and from which the requested service is provided.
Third-party cookies:
These are cookies sent to the user’s device from a domain not managed by the website editor but by another entity that processes the data collected through the cookies.
If cookies are served from a domain managed by the website’s editor but the information collected is managed by a third party, they cannot be considered first-party cookies if the third party uses them for their own purposes (e.g., improving services provided or providing advertising services for other entities).
BY PURPOSE
Technical cookies:
These are necessary for browsing and the proper functioning of our Website, such as controlling traffic and data communication, identifying the session, accessing restricted areas, requesting registration or participation in an event, counting visits for billing purposes for the software service, using security features during browsing, storing content for video or sound dissemination, enabling dynamic content (e.g., loading text or image animation).
Analytics cookies:
These allow us to quantify the number of users and thus perform statistical measurement and analysis of how users use the Website.
Preference or personalization cookies:
These cookies allow information to be remembered so that the user can access the service with certain characteristics that differentiate their experience from that of other users, such as language, number of results to display when the user performs a search, the appearance or content of the service depending on the type of browser used, or the region from which the service is accessed, etc.
BY DURATION
Session cookies:
These are designed to collect and store data while the user accesses a website.
They are typically used to store information that is only relevant for providing the requested service on a single occasion (e.g., a list of products purchased) and disappear at the end of the session.
Persistent cookies:
These are cookies where the data remains stored on the device and can be accessed and processed for a period defined by the cookie’s manager, which can range from a few minutes to several years. The use of persistent cookies should be specifically evaluated for necessity, as privacy risks can be reduced by using session cookies. In any case, when persistent cookies are installed, it is recommended to minimize their duration as much as possible in accordance with their purpose. For this reason, it is more likely that session cookies are exempt from informed consent than persistent ones.
