GENERAL INFORMATION ON COOKIES
Cookies are small text files consisting of pieces of code installed in the browser. They are sent by websites to users’ devices where they are stored and then retransmitted to the same websites during future visits. Cookies serve various purposes, have different characteristics, and may be used by either the website owner or third parties.
Cookies can be categorized as follows:
- Session or persistent cookies
- Technical or profiling cookies
- First-party or third-party cookies
SESSION AND PERSISTENT COOKIES
Session cookies expire when the browser session ends (i.e., when the user closes the browser). They allow websites to link a user’s actions during a single session. Persistent cookies, on the other hand, remain stored on a user’s device between browser sessions for a variable period, enabling the website to remember user preferences or actions.
TECHNICAL AND PROFILING COOKIES
Technical cookies are used solely for transmitting communications over an electronic communications network or, as strictly necessary, for providing an information society service explicitly requested by the user. No prior consent is required for these cookies when used directly by the website operator.
Profiling cookies are used to create user profiles and send advertising in line with the preferences expressed by the user during web browsing.
COOKIE INFORMATION
Due to the potentially invasive nature of profiling cookies, both EU and Italian regulations require that users be properly informed via a short notice (banner) and a more detailed cookie policy, and that users give explicit consent when first visiting the site.
Consent can be given generally via the cookie banner or selectively through the methods described below. Consent is recorded for future visits but can be withdrawn at any time.
FIRST-PARTY AND THIRD-PARTY COOKIES
Cookies are classified as either “first-party” or “third-party” depending on the domain from which they originate.
- First-party cookies are set and managed directly by the website owner. The owner is responsible for providing information and, where necessary, obtaining consent.
- Third-party cookies are set by domains other than the one visited by the user. The responsibility for providing information and consent lies with the respective third party. The website owner must provide links to the relevant third-party policies.
TYPES OF DATA COLLECTED
Among the personal data collected independently or through third parties are: cookies, usage data, first name, last name, phone number, and email address.
Additional personal data may be described in other sections of this privacy policy or provided contextually during data collection. Data may be voluntarily provided by the user or automatically collected during use of this website.
Unless otherwise specified, cookies or other tracking tools are used to identify users and store their preferences solely for the provision of the service requested. Failure to provide certain data may prevent the website from delivering its services.
Users are responsible for any third-party personal data they publish or share through this site and confirm they have the right to disclose or share such data, releasing the controller from any third-party liability.
