Cookie Policy


What are cookies?

Cookies are text strings that the websites visited by the user (so-called “first parties”) or different websites or web servers (so-called “third parties”) place and store, directly (in the case of first-party sites) or indirectly , i.e. through the latter (in the case of third parties) within a terminal device in the availability of the user himself.

Cookies can perform various functions, including session monitoring, storing information on specific configurations regarding users accessing the server, facilitating the use of online content, etc. Also through cookies it is also possible to convey personalized promotional information based on the user’s interests or to conform the services rendered to the behavior of the user subject to a previous observation.

Depending on the function they perform, cookies can be essentially classified into:

– technical cookies, used for the sole purpose of allowing the site to function;

– profiling cookies, used in order to trace specific actions or behavioral patterns to subjects, in order to create user profiles and send promotional messages in line with the preferences expressed by the user in navigation or to offer the user personalized content.


Cookies can also be used to evaluate the effectiveness of a service offered by a website or to help analyze its traffic: in this case, the cookies used are defined as so-called analytics cookies.

Under certain conditions, including, in particular, the impossibility of directly identifying the data subject through their use, analytics cookies are equated with technical cookies in terms of the conditions and obligations that legitimize their use.
