Cookie Policy

Definition and Purpose

Cookies are small text files that websites visited by users send to their terminals, where they are stored to be transmitted back to the same sites upon subsequent visits. Cookies from so-called "third parties" are instead set by a website different from the one the User is visiting. This is because on each site there may be elements (images, maps, sounds, specific links to web pages of other domains, etc.) that reside on servers different from that of the visited site.

Cookies are used for various purposes: performing computer authentications, monitoring sessions, storing information about specific configurations regarding users accessing the server, storing preferences, etc.

The provision of the Guarantor for the protection of personal data no. 231 of 10.07.2021 ("Guidelines on cookies and other tracking tools" - Published in the Official Gazette no. 163 of July 9, 2021) has recently identified two macro-categories of cookies: "technical" and "profiling", already defined by provision of May 8, 2014.

"Technical" Cookies

These are cookies that are used to facilitate navigation or to provide a service requested by the User. They are not used for further purposes and are normally installed directly by the owner of the website. Without resorting to such cookies, some operations could not be performed or would be more complex and/or less secure, such as home banking activities (viewing account statements, transfers, bill payments, etc.), for which cookies, which allow the User's identification to be carried out and maintained within the session, are indispensable.

Technical cookies can be further divided into:

  • navigation or session cookies, which ensure the normal navigation and use of the website (for example, allowing a purchase or authentication to access reserved areas);
  • analytics or analysis cookies, assimilated to technical cookies when used directly by the site manager to collect information, in aggregated form, on the number of users and how they visit the site itself;
  • functional or functionality cookies, which allow the User to navigate based on a series of selected criteria (for example, language, products selected for purchase) in order to improve the service provided to the same;
  • performance cookies, which allow the collection of information on the use of the website by users to carry out statistical analysis on the number of users and how they navigate the site. This type of cookie does not collect any information that can in any way identify the User. All information collected is anonymous and used only to improve the use of the website. These cookies are not used for commercial purposes.
  • "Profiling" Cookies
  • These are cookies used to track the User's browsing on the network and to create profiles on his/her tastes, habits, choices, etc. With these cookies, advertising messages ("advertising cookies") can be transmitted to the User's terminal in line with preferences already expressed by the User in online navigation.
  • This site uses technical navigation, analysis, and functional cookies.
  • Other types of cookies or third-party tools that may use them
  • Some of the services listed below collect statistics in aggregate form and may not require the User's consent or may be managed directly by the Owner – depending on what is described – without the help of third parties.
  • If among the tools indicated below there are services managed by third parties, these may – in addition to what is specified and also without the Owner's knowledge – carry out tracking activities of the User. For detailed information, it is advisable to consult the privacy policies of the listed services.
  • Management and deletion of cookies
  • In addition to what is indicated in this document, the User can manage preferences related to cookies directly within his/her browser and prevent – for example

– third parties from installing them. Through the browser preferences, it is also possible to delete cookies installed in the past, including the cookie in which consent to the installation of cookies by this site may have been saved. It is important to note that by disabling all cookies, the functioning of this site may be compromised. The User can find information on how to manage cookies in his/her browser at the following addresses: Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari, and Microsoft Windows Explorer.

In the case of services provided by third parties, the User can also exercise his/her right to oppose tracking by informing himself/herself through the third party's privacy policy, through the "opt-out" link if explicitly provided, or by directly contacting the third party.

Without prejudice to the foregoing, the Owner informs that the User can avail himself/herself of Your Online Choices. Through this service, it is possible to manage the tracking preferences of most advertising tools. The Owner, therefore, recommends users to use this resource in addition to the information provided in this document.

Ownership of cookie processing

Since the installation of cookies and other tracking systems operated by third parties through the services used within this site cannot be technically controlled by the Owner, any specific reference to cookies and tracking systems installed by third parties is to be considered indicative only. For complete information, please consult the privacy policy of any third-party services listed in this document.

Given the objective complexity linked to the identification of technologies based on cookies and their very close integration with web functioning, the User is invited to contact the Owner if he/she wishes to receive any further information regarding the use of cookies and any uses thereof – for example, by third parties – made through this site.
