1. What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer, smartphone, tablet, or other device when you visit a website. Cookies are widely used by website operators to make their websites work more efficiently, to provide a better browsing experience, and to collect certain information about how visitors interact with the site.

Cookies may be set by the website you are visiting (known as "first-party cookies") or by third parties whose services are integrated into the website (known as "third-party cookies"). Cookies can remain on your device for different periods of time. Some cookies are "session cookies," which exist only while your browser is open and are deleted automatically once you close your browser. Other cookies are "persistent cookies," which survive after your browser is closed and can be used by the website to recognize your device when you reopen your browser and browse the internet again.

3. How We Use Cookies

When you visit our website, we may place cookies on your device for various purposes. These purposes include ensuring the website functions correctly, remembering your preferences, understanding how you use our website, and improving your overall experience. Below we describe the categories of cookies we may use.

4. Types of Cookies We Use

Essential Cookies (Strictly Necessary)

Essential cookies are necessary for the basic functioning of our website. They enable core features such as page navigation, access to secure areas of the website, and the ability to remember your cookie consent preferences. Without these cookies, the website cannot function properly.

These cookies do not collect personal data for marketing purposes and are automatically placed on your device when you access the website. Because they are strictly necessary, they do not require your consent under applicable data protection regulations.

Examples include:

  • Cookie consent preference storage
  • Session management cookies
  • Security cookies that help protect user data

Analytics Cookies

Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website by collecting and reporting information anonymously. They allow us to measure the number of visitors, see which pages are most and least popular, and understand how visitors move around the site.

The information collected by analytics cookies is aggregated and therefore anonymous. It helps us improve the way our website works. If you do not allow these cookies, we will not be able to include your visit in our statistics.

Examples include:

  • Page view tracking
  • Visitor count and session duration measurement
  • Traffic source identification

Preference Cookies (Functional Cookies)

Preference cookies enable a website to remember information that changes the way the website behaves or looks. This may include your preferred language, the region you are in, or other settings you have customized during a previous visit.

If you do not allow these cookies, some or all of these features may not function properly, and your browsing experience may be less personalized.

Examples include:

  • Language or locale preference storage
  • User interface customization choices
  • Previously entered form information

5. Cookie Consent

When you first visit our website, a cookie consent banner will appear at the bottom of the screen. You will have the option to accept or reject the use of non-essential cookies. Essential cookies that are strictly necessary for the basic functioning of the website will be placed on your device regardless of your consent, as they are required for the website to operate.

If you click "Accept," we will place all types of cookies described in this policy on your device. If you click "Reject," only essential cookies that are strictly necessary for the website to function will remain active.

Your cookie consent preference will be stored in your browser so that you are not asked to provide consent each time you visit. You may change your cookie preferences at any time by clearing your browser cookies and revisiting the website, or by adjusting your browser settings as described below.

6. How to Manage and Delete Cookies

Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can set your browser to block cookies, to alert you when a cookie is being placed, or to delete cookies that have already been stored. The specific instructions for managing cookies vary from browser to browser.

Below are general instructions for the most popular browsers:

Google Chrome

Go to Settings > Privacy and Security > Cookies and other site data. Here you can block third-party cookies, clear cookies when you close Chrome, or manage exceptions for specific sites.

Mozilla Firefox

Go to Settings > Privacy & Security > Cookies and Site Data. You can choose to block cookies, clear data on close, or manage site-specific permissions.

Safari

Go to Preferences > Privacy. You can choose to block all cookies, prevent cross-site tracking, or manage website data individually.

Microsoft Edge

Go to Settings > Cookies and site permissions > Manage and delete cookies and site data. You can choose to block third-party cookies, clear cookies on exit, or allow/block specific sites.

Please be aware that restricting or blocking cookies may affect the functionality of our website. Certain features may not work as intended if essential cookies are disabled.

7. Third-Party Cookies

In some cases, we may use third-party services that set their own cookies on your device. These third-party cookies are governed by the respective privacy policies of those third parties, not by this Cookie Policy. We do not control the cookies set by third-party services.

If analytics or similar services are enabled on our website, they may use their own cookies to collect aggregated, anonymized information about how visitors use the site. We recommend reviewing the cookie policies of any third-party services for further details.

8. Legal Basis for Using Cookies

We use cookies in accordance with Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (General Data Protection Regulation – GDPR), Italian Legislative Decree No. 196/2003 (as amended by Legislative Decree No. 101/2018), and the guidelines issued by the Italian Data Protection Authority (Garante per la protezione dei dati personali) regarding cookies and other tracking technologies.

Essential cookies are placed on the basis of our legitimate interest in ensuring the website functions correctly. Non-essential cookies, including analytics and preference cookies, are placed only after you have given your consent through the cookie consent banner.

9. Your Rights

When we make changes, we will update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this Cookie Policy periodically to stay informed about how we use cookies.
