INFORMATION ON THE USE OF COOKIES

DEFINITION:

Cookies are small text strings that sites visited by the user send to the user’s terminal (usually browser), where they are stored and then transmitted back to the same sites on the next visit by the same user. Cookies are distinguished according to the entity that installs them on the user’s terminal:

  • Proprietary (so-called “first-party”) cookies: installed by the same operator of the site that the user is visiting, in order to allow the user to navigate more efficiently and/or to monitor the actions exercised by the user;
  • Third-party cookies: in the course of browsing the site, you may also receive on your terminal equipment cookies that are sent from sites or web servers, other than the one you are currently visiting, for the same purposes mentioned above.

Cookies are used for different purposes and differ from each other precisely on the basis of the purposes pursued by those who use them. They are distinguished into:

  • “Technical cookies”: used for the sole purpose of carrying out the transmission of a communication over an electronic communications network or to the extent strictly necessary for the provision of a service explicitly requested by the user: they allow the site that installed them to remember, for example, the preferences expressed by the user while browsing or to make a purchase or to authenticate. Users’ prior consent is not required for the installation of such cookies, while the obligation to provide information remains in place;
  • “Statistical cookies”: used to monitor the performance of the site, for example to know the number of pages visited or the number of users who viewed a particular section. The analysis of these cookies generates anonymous and aggregated statistical data without any reference to the identity of the site’s surfers. They are also useful for evaluating possible changes and improvements to be made to the site itself;
  • “Profiling cookies”: aimed at creating profiles related to the user, they allow the site that installed them to monitor the user’s navigation also for the purpose of sending advertising or offering services in line with the preferences expressed by the user while browsing the web. Due to the particular invasiveness of these devices, European and Italian regulations require that the user must be adequately informed about their use and express his/her valid consent to their use;
  • “Social Network Cookies”: allow you to also share with other users the content of the site you are visiting or to express your opinion about it. These are the cookies typically used to enable the “Like” or “Follow” functions of Social Networks such as Facebook and Twitter, to name a few. These features allow Social Networks to identify their users and collect information even as they browse other sites. It is recommended to consult the privacy policy of each of the Social Networks used to know the purposes and methods of the processing of personal data carried out by them.

Please read the information below to better understand what cookies we use and how you can manage your preferences regarding their use.
