Cookies Policy
WHAT ARE COOKIES? Cookies are small text files sent from the website to the user's terminal (usually to the browser), where they are stored to be retransmitted to the website upon the user's next visit. A cookie cannot retrieve any other data from the user's hard drive, transmit computer viruses, or acquire email addresses. Each cookie is unique to the user's web browser. Some cookie functions may be assigned to other technologies. In this document, the term 'cookie' refers both to cookies strictly defined and to all similar technologies.
Through cookies, it is possible to record information about user preferences, such as the pages visited, the downloading of files from our website, or other similar actions performed while browsing our website.
FIRST-PARTY OR THIRD-PARTY COOKIES Cookies can be first-party or third-party. "First-party" refers to cookies developed by the website owner, whereas "third-party" refers to cookies developed by entities other than the website owner.
TYPES OF COOKIES Regarding the nature of cookies, there are different types:
Technical Cookies These cookies are used solely to "transmit a communication over an electronic communications network or to the extent strictly necessary for the provider of an information society service explicitly requested by the subscriber or user to provide that service" (Art. 122, Paragraph 1 of the Code). They are not used for additional purposes and are typically installed directly by the website owner or operator. They can be classified as:
- Navigation or session cookies, which ensure normal website navigation and use (e.g., allowing purchases or authentication to access restricted areas). These cookies are essential for the website to function correctly.
- Analytical cookies with anonymous user data (e.g., browsing IP), considered equivalent to technical cookies when used directly by the website operator to collect aggregated information about the number of users and how they visit the site to improve its performance.
- Functionality cookies, which allow users to browse according to selected criteria (e.g., language, selected products for purchase) to improve the service provided. These cookies do not require prior user consent for installation (see the "Managing Cookies" section below for more information).
Profiling Cookies These cookies are used to associate specific actions or recurring behavioral patterns in the use of offered functionalities to identified or identifiable individuals. This categorization enables the grouping of different profiles into homogeneous clusters of varying sizes, allowing the website owner to provide increasingly personalized services beyond what is strictly necessary for service delivery. They also enable targeted advertising messages, in line with the user's expressed preferences while browsing online.
Specifically, this website installs statistical and marketing cookies, as indicated in the cookie banner. However, preference cookies are not present, even though they are mentioned in the same banner.
For third-party cookies, the website has no direct control over individual cookies and cannot manage them (i.e., it cannot install or delete them directly). However, you can manage these cookies through your browser settings or the websites indicated in the "Acceptance and Refusal of Cookies" section.

COOKIE DURATION
Cookies have a lifespan determined by their expiration date (or specific action, such as closing the browser) set at installation. Cookies can be:
- Temporary or session cookies: Used to store temporary information. They allow linking actions performed during a specific session and are removed from the computer when the browser is closed.
- Persistent cookies: Used to store information, such as login credentials, to avoid re-entering them every time a specific site is visited. These cookies remain stored on the computer even after the browser is closed.
Session cookies are not stored once the connection to this website ends. The computer systems used for this website employ both temporary and permanent cookies.
ACCEPTANCE AND REJECTION OF COOKIES
The installation of technical and analytical cookies does not require user consent.
Profiling cookies or other tracking tools, however, may only be used if the user has given explicit consent after being informed. This website uses a banner that allows users to express their consent.
Users who do not wish to grant consent can close the banner by clicking "Reject," maintaining the default settings that prevent the use of cookies or other tracking tools apart from technical ones.
If desired, users can directly manage cookies through their browser settings. However, deleting cookies from the browser may remove preferences set for this website, so it is advisable to periodically review these settings on this page.
