Cookies also allow users to be recognised as a unique user when visiting different pages of a website or different websites.

Technical Cookies

Technical cookies do not require the user’s consent. These cookies are used solely to enable the user to navigate the website and use its features. They are always first-party cookies, as they are directly managed by the website owner.

Browsing cookies are typically:

• Session cookies, which are deactivated automatically once the browser is closed.
• Functional cookies, which store some user preferences to avoid having to reset them during future visits. Specifically, these cookies enable the website to function properly, create an account, access and manage features, and remember the currency, language, past searches, and other preferences.

Persistent cookies are functional cookies that remain stored on the user’s computer even after the browser is closed, until their set expiry date or until the user decides to delete them.

Types of Cookies

Cookies can be divided into:

• First-Party Cookies: Managed by the domain owner.
• Third-Party Cookies: Present on the domain of the owner but managed by authorised partners.

Based on their purpose, cookies can be classified into:

Statistical Cookies

This website uses statistical cookies to monitor conversions and collect information in aggregate form about users and how they visit the website. Specifically, these cookies:

• Help to understand how visitors and customers use the website;
• Enable insight into what works and what does not on the website;
• Help assess the effectiveness of advertising and communications;
• Show how users interact with the website after viewing online advertising, including ads on third-party websites.

The data collected through these cookies include pages visited, entry and exit pages, platform type, how the user interacts with the website, search terms, and text entered in various fields. It is possible to prevent the installation of cookies by adjusting browser settings, thereby permanently opposing their use.

Profiling Cookies

Profiling cookies are used to create a user profile based on preferences and tastes expressed while browsing the internet, allowing the display of advertisements consistent with the user’s profile. In this way, the ads shown to the user on this website may be of greater interest.

More specifically, these cookies:

• Place the user into an interest profile, based on visited websites and clicks. These profiles are used to show personalised content;
• Display personalised ads based on interests. This practice, called “retargeting,” is based on browsing activities, purchasing habits, or other online activities;
• Integrate social media into the website, allowing users to “like” or share content or products on platforms like Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, Twitter, Pinterest, Snapchat, and LinkedIn. The “like” and “share” buttons work using code snippets from the respective social media providers, allowing them to place cookies on the user’s device.

These cookies can be purely functional but can also be used to track which websites the user visits to build a browsing profile and show personalised advertisements. As required by law, prior consent is necessary for the installation of such cookies.

Deleting or Disabling Cookies

Except for strictly necessary technical cookies, providing data is at the discretion of the user, who may continue to browse the site after reviewing the brief information contained in the dedicated banner or use third-party services that involve the installation of cookies. Users can prevent the installation of cookies by keeping the banner open or by using the appropriate functions available in their browser or within this policy. Users can manage cookie preferences directly within their browser and prevent third parties from installing them.
