What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files sent from the website to the computer of the interested party, where they are stored before being sent back to the website at the next visit by the same user. In this document, the term ‘cookie’ refers to both cookies, properly so-called, and to all similar technologies.

First or third-party cookies
The so-called “first-party” cookies refer to cookies developed by the owner of the site, while “third-party” cookies are cookies developed by third parties, that is, different from the owner of the site. This is because on each site there may be elements (images, maps, sounds, specific links to web pages of other domains, etc.) that reside on servers other than the site visited.

1. Technical cookies
Technical cookies are cookies that are used to browse or provide a service requested by the user. They are not used for other purposes and are normally installed directly by the owner of the website. Without the use of these cookies, some operations could not be performed or would be more complex and / or less secure.
These cookies can be divided into:

– navigation or session: they are used for the normal navigation and use of the website and are necessary for the proper functioning of the site;
– analytics: if used directly by the site operator, they are counted on the technical ones and used to collect information, in aggregate form, on the number of users and how they visit the site, in order to improve site performance;
– functionality: make navigation possible based on selected criteria (for example, the language, the products selected for purchase) and they improve the service.

2. Profiling cookies
Profiling cookies are used to create real user profiles for sending advertising messages according to the preferences expressed during the navigation. According to the provision of the “Garante Privacy” n. 229 of 8 May 2014, the consent of the interested party is requested for the use of this type of cookie.
