Cookie Policy

Dear Visitor (hereinafter, “You” or the “User”),

This website ([-]) (hereinafter, the “Website”) is owned by [-], REA no. [-], Tax Code and VAT no. [-], with registered office in [-] (hereinafter, “We” or the “Company”).

Since this Website uses cookies for various purposes, this policy aims to explain what cookies are and how they are used on the Website. This cookie policy is also provided pursuant to Art. 122 of Legislative Decree No. 196/2003 (Personal Data Protection Code) and Art. 14 of Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (hereinafter, the “Regulation”), to describe how and for what purposes we process the personal data concerning you that may be collected through the use of our cookies on the Website.

This Cookie Policy is provided in addition to the Privacy Notice, which we kindly ask you to read.

Some cookies (so-called first-party or proprietary cookies) are placed and controlled directly by us. Through these cookies, the Company collects and processes certain personal data about you. Other cookies (so-called third-party cookies), on the other hand, are placed and controlled by third parties. In this policy you will find links to the notices published by such third parties, which we kindly ask you to read carefully.

Please read this policy carefully, together with the general Privacy Notice of the Website, so that you can make informed choices.


A. What cookies are and what they are used for

Cookies are small text files that websites visited by the user send directly to the user’s device (usually to the browser), where they are stored to then be retransmitted to the same websites on the user’s next visit (so-called first-party cookies). While browsing a website, the user may also receive cookies from websites or web servers other than the one being visited (so-called third-party cookies). This happens because elements such as images, maps, sounds, or specific links to web pages of other domains located on different servers may be present on the visited website. In other words, these are cookies set by a website different from the one you are currently visiting.

Cookies may be limited to a single browsing session (so-called session cookies) and are automatically disabled when the user closes the browser; or they may have a predetermined expiration date, in which case they remain stored on your hard drive until such date, continuing to collect information over multiple browsing sessions (so-called persistent cookies).

Cookies serve various functions. Some are necessary to allow you to browse the Website and use its features (so-called technical cookies). Others are used to obtain statistical information—aggregated or not—on the number of users accessing the Website and on how the Website is used (so-called monitoring or analytics cookies). Others, finally, are used to track your consumer profile and display advertising messages on the Website that may be of interest to you, as they match your tastes and consumption habits (so-called profiling cookies).

The Website uses only technical cookies, analytics cookies, and profiling cookies.

To learn more about these different categories of cookies, continue reading this policy. Discover how they work and what they are used for, and freely choose whether to consent to or block their use.


B. Technical cookies

Technical cookies are used on the Website solely to enable your browsing and allow you to use its features. Some technical cookies are essential to provide you with an optimal browsing experience or to allow you to fill in the subscription form for the Newsletter on the Website (so-called navigation cookies). Navigation cookies are usually session cookies and are therefore automatically disabled once the browser is closed.

Other technical cookies enable you to save certain preferences (for example, language or country of origin) without having to reset them during subsequent visits (so-called functionality cookies). For this reason, functionality cookies are often persistent cookies, as they remain stored on your computer even after the browser is closed, until their expiration date or until you choose to delete them.

The following technical cookies are currently used on the Website:

Cookie NameCookie CategoryExpiration
__cfduidNecessary30 days
CONSENTNecessary6112 days
PHPSESSIDNecessarySession

As required by the applicable privacy regulations, your prior consent is not necessary for the installation of these cookies. Naturally, you are free to block the installation of technical cookies by changing your browser settings (see paragraph E, no. 1 to learn how). However, please note that by blocking the installation of technical cookies or subsequently deleting them, your ability to access the Website, use all or part of it, enable or disable certain features, or receive certain services may be wholly or partially compromised.


 

C. Monitoring or “analytics” cookies  

Analytics cookies are used on the Website to collect statistical information, in aggregated or non-aggregated form, on the number of users accessing the Website and on how they visit the Website.

The analytics cookies used on this Website are third-party cookies, as they are not delivered directly by us but by third parties, and are not installed directly by the Company but by external providers.

The following third-party analytics cookies are installed on the Website without your prior consent because they are less invasive due to anonymization, as third parties cannot access disaggregated analytics data at the IP address level (in other words, by using these cookies, the third parties cannot trace your identity):

The following analytics cookies are currently used on the Website:

Cookie NameCookie CategoryExpiration
_gaStats2 years
_ga_#Stats2 years

Other third-party analytics cookies, however, are installed on the Website only with your prior consent, because they are not anonymized and the third parties may access disaggregated analytics data at the IP address level.

If you provide consent for the installation of cookies in this manner, we will record your consent through a specific technical cookie. This will prevent the cookie banner from being shown during your subsequent visits to the Website. Please note that, should you delete this technical cookie from your browser as described in paragraph E, no. (1) below, the record of your consent will be lost and, therefore, the cookie banner will be displayed again on your next visit to the Website.

Naturally, you are free to block the installation of analytics cookies at any time, without in any way affecting your ability to browse the Website and use its contents. To learn how to do so, please carefully read the cookie policies of the relevant third parties.


 

D. What profiling cookies are and how they work  

Profiling cookies are used to create a profile of you as a user based on your preferences and interests expressed while browsing the Internet, and to display advertising messages that match your profile.

As required by applicable privacy regulations, your prior consent is necessary for the installation of such cookies. If you provide consent for the installation of cookies in this manner, we will keep a record of your consent through a specific technical cookie. This will prevent the cookie banner from being displayed during your subsequent visits to the Website. Please note that, should you delete this technical cookie from your browser as described in paragraph E, no. (1) below, the record of your consent will be lost and, therefore, the cookie banner will appear again on your next visit to the Website.

Naturally, you are free to block the installation of profiling cookies at any time, without your ability to browse the Website and use its contents being compromised in any way. If you choose to disable behavioral advertising, this does not mean that you will no longer receive advertisements.

All profiling cookies are installed by third parties acting as independent data controllers (third-party cookies). Below is a list of the third-party profiling cookies currently used on the Website. Please read the privacy notices of these third parties carefully to obtain all the necessary information about their profiling cookies and how to opt out of their installation:

E. How to manage cookies and object to their use  

There are several options for managing, disabling, and deleting cookies.

(1) Change your browser settings

Please make your choices carefully. By indiscriminately blocking all cookies, including technical cookies, without making a specific exception for the Website, you may not be able to browse the Website or use all or part of its functionalities.

Furthermore, deleting all cookies from your browser may also remove technical cookies and, consequently, you may lose preferences you have set while using the Website.


 

(2) Use our interactive tools or those provided by third parties

To disable third-party cookies, consult the privacy policies of the third parties that install analytics cookies (see paragraph C above) or profiling cookies (see paragraph D above) to learn about other tools available to manage, disable, and delete cookies, and more generally to object to their use.

Please note that, by disabling third-party cookies:

(i) you object to their use not only on the Website but on all websites where these cookies are used, and

(ii) your ability to browse the Website and use its functionalities will not be affected in any way.

When you disable third-party cookies, the cookie banner on the homepage of the Website will still appear; however, by closing the banner, scrolling the homepage, or clicking on any element outside the banner, you will not receive any third-party cookies that you have correctly disabled.


 

F. Additional information  

As highlighted in the introduction of this policy, the Company collects and processes certain personal data about you through cookies that it places directly on the Website (first-party cookies). The Company acts as the data controller for this data. We will process your data only using electronic tools, in a fully automated manner, without human intervention.

Therefore, our employees and collaborators will never access the content of your personal data obtained through cookies. Some of our employees and collaborators, specifically authorized to process data, may perform maintenance on the IT systems hosting your data, without ever accessing its actual content.

Personal data may be stored on servers managed by third parties (e.g., IT service providers), who act as data processors under a written agreement with the Company. Please note that, in compliance with the requirements and safeguards established by law, your data may be transferred to countries outside the European Economic Area, which may not provide a level of privacy and data protection comparable to that guaranteed by Italian and European privacy laws.

Your personal data will not be disclosed to third-party data controllers nor will it be disseminated.

In addition, our Website also uses a service for anonymously recording User interactions on the Website. This service may record mouse clicks, mouse movements, page scrolling, and any text entered into forms on the Website. The data collected through this service is used to improve the usability of our Website. The information collected is stored and used in aggregated form for statistical purposes and is not shared in any way.
