COOKIE POLICIES

WHAT ARE COOKIES?
Cookies are text files with small pieces of data, used to identify your computer as you use a computer network, which are stored and sent back to the website the next time you visit it.
For present purposes, cookies are distinguished into technical and profiling cookies depending on the purpose they are used for and into first-party and third-party cookies depending on who installs them.

TECHNICAL COOKIES
Technical cookies are those used for the sole purpose of “carrying out the transmission of certain information on an electronic communications network or as strictly necessary for the provider of an information service to provide services requested explicitly by the subscriber or user”. 
They can be divided into navigation or session cookies, which guarantee the normal navigation and use of the website; analytics cookies, similar to technical cookies when used directly by the site manager to collect information, in aggregate form, 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 in order to improve the service provided.
For the installation of these cookies, the prior consent of the users is not required.

ADVERTISING PROFILING COOKIES
Profiling cookies are designed to create user profiles and are used in order to send advertising messages in line with the preferences expressed by the user while surfing the net. Due to the particular invasiveness that such devices may have in the private sphere of users, European and Italian legislation provides that the user must be adequately informed on the use of the same and thus express their valid consent.
The website uses cookies/advertising IDs for advertising purposes. This allows us to show our ads to visitors who are also interested in our products on partner websites and apps. Retargeting technologies use your cookies or advertising IDs and display ads based on your browsing behavior.
