We use cookies to make our website easier and more user-friendly. The data collected through cookies is used to make your browsing experience more enjoyable and efficient in future.

1. WHAT ARE COOKIES? Cookies are small text strings that the websites visited by the User send to their device (usually the browser), where they are stored and then sent back to those same websites the next time the User visits them. The term ‘cookies’ refers both to cookies themselves and to all similar technologies. Cookies are used to provide faster access to online services and to improve the User’s browsing experience by tracking sessions, storing User information, loading content more quickly, etc.

2. TYPES OF COOKIES Cookies can be: First-party cookies: these are cookies set by the Website to enable the User to browse more efficiently and/or to monitor the User’s actions; Third-party cookies: these are cookies set by a website other than the one you are currently visiting, to enable the User to browse more efficiently and/or to monitor the actions they carry out. Furthermore, there are various types of cookies:

• Technical and Analytical Cookies: these are cookies relating to activities strictly necessary for the functioning and provision of the service (e.g. session cookies for logging in), cookies relating to the saving of preferences and optimisation (e.g. cookies for saving shopping basket contents or language/currency choices, etc.), and analytical cookies for collecting information in anonymous and aggregated form. Technical cookies include:
  • Session or Navigation Cookies: are used to track the User’s online activity. They ensure normal navigation and use of the Website, allowing, for example, faster browsing, making a purchase or logging in to access restricted areas, and are in fact necessary for its proper functioning;
  • Functionality cookies: enable the User to navigate the website according to a set of selected criteria (for example, language, products selected for purchase, etc.) in order to improve the service provided to them;
  • Analytical cookies: used to collect information on how the Website is used. The Data Controller uses this information for statistical analysis, to improve the Website and make it easier to use, as well as to monitor its proper functioning. This type of cookie collects anonymous information on Users’ activity on the Website, how they arrived at the Website and the pages they have visited. Cookies in this category are sent by the Website itself or by third-party domains. Analytical cookies may be:
    • First-party analytical cookies: treated in legal terms as technical cookies if used directly by the Website Controller without profiling the User, but solely to collect information – in aggregated and anonymous form – on the number of Users and how they visit the Website, for statistical purposes and to improve the Website’s performance;
    • Third-party analytical cookies: are provided by third parties and are treated as technical cookies if the third parties do not profile the User by using appropriate tools to reduce the cookies’ ability to identify individuals (for example, by masking significant portions of the IP address) and without cross-referencing the information collected with other data already in their possession. For technical cookies, it is sufficient to publish the Cookie Policy; there is no need to seek consent. Disabling or deleting these cookies via your browser settings may compromise your browsing experience on this website.

• Profiling cookies: are used to track the User’s web browsing and create a profile of their habits:
  • First-party profiling cookies: installed by the Data Controller to create profiles relating to the User in order to send advertising messages in line with the preferences expressed whilst browsing the internet. Given their particularly intrusive nature in relation to users’ privacy, the applicable legislation requires that the User, having been adequately informed about their use, must give their consent;
  • Third-party profiling cookies: used by third parties who access the information in plain text – i.e. not in an anonymous or aggregated form – and cross-reference it with other data already in their possession. The Website has no direct control over individual third-party cookies. Users are therefore advised to check the third party’s website for its cookie policy.

The use of these cookies requires the User’s prior consent.

3. COOKIES SET The cookies used on this website are:

• technical and analytical cookies required for the Website to function, for aggregate statistical analysis, to improve and simplify the use of the Website, and to save browsing preferences and optimise the User’s browsing experience;
