Cookie Policy

Cookies are small text strings sent to users of the website they visit. They are stored on users’ devices and allow the website to recognise users and store certain information about them. Cookies may be retrieved during subsequent visits.

• Technical cookies: these are used for purposes strictly related to the proper functioning of the website;
  
• Analytics cookies: these are considered equivalent to technical cookies and other identifiers if they are used solely to produce aggregate statistics and in relation to a single website or a single mobile application; for third-party cookies, at least the fourth component of the IP address is masked; third parties refrain from combining analytics cookies, thus minimised, with other processing or from transmitting them to further third parties.
  
• Profiling cookies: these make it possible to obtain information about the user and may be used for unsolicited purposes, such as displaying advertising messages in line with the preferences expressed by the user while browsing.

Sharing Cookies (Social Buttons, Plugins and Widgets): the website contains “buttons” (referred to as “social buttons/widgets”) displaying the icons of social networks or other services (for example Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, etc.). These buttons allow users browsing the website to interact directly, with a “click”, with the social networks represented. In order to allow users to understand how and for what purposes third parties process user information, users should consult the privacy notices and cookie policies of the third parties involved.
