This notice explains what “cookies” are and how they are used on the Site.
Some cookies are placed and controlled directly by us. Through these cookies, we collect and process certain personal data about you.
In this notice, pursuant to EU Regulation 2016/679, we explain how we collect this data, for what purposes and what are your rights.
Other cookies are carried and controlled by third parties. In this policy you will find links to the policies published by these third parties, which we ask you to read carefully.
What are cookies and what are they used for?
Cookies are small text files that the websites visited by the user send directly to his/her terminal (usually to the browser), where they are stored and then transmitted to the same websites the next users’ visit. While browsing a site, the user may also receive cookies from different sites or web servers; this happens because the website visited may contain elements such as, for example, images, maps, sounds, specific links to web pages of other domains. This means, they are cookies that are set by a website other than the one you are currently visiting.
Cookies may be limited in duration to a single browser session (session cookies), in which case they are automatically deactivated when the user closes the browser; or they may have a pre-determined expiry date, in which case they will remain stored and active on your hard disk until such expiry date, continuing to collect information over the course of several browser sessions (persistent cookies).
Cookies are used for different functions. Some are necessary to allow you to browse the Site and use its functions (technical cookies). Others are used to obtain statistical information, in aggregate or not, on the number of users accessing the Site and on how the Site is used (tracking or analytics cookies). Finally, others are used to draw up a profile of you as a consumer and to display advertisements on the Site that may be of interest to you, as they are consistent with your tastes and consumption habits (so-called profiling cookies).

Other technical cookies are useful for allowing you to store certain preferences (for example, your language or country of origin) without having to reset them on subsequent visits (so-called functionality cookies). For this reason, functionality cookies are often persistent cookies, as they remain stored on your computer even after you close your browser, until their expiry date or until you decide to delete them.
