COOKIE POLICY

COOKIES

Definition: Cookies allow storing information about user visits to a website and represent a very useful technology, as they enable the operation of websites, making them more efficient, and provide useful information to site operators.

What are cookies?

Cookies are small pieces of text, usually consisting of letters and/or numbers, sent by the website visited and stored by the software (such as a web browser) installed on the device used by the user for browsing. Cookies are then transmitted back to the website on subsequent visits by the user.

Cookies allow storing information about user visits to a website and represent a very useful technology, as they enable the operation of websites, making them more efficient, and provide useful information to site operators. Without cookies, or other similar technologies, websites would not be able to “remember” information about visitors, such as how many items the user has added to the shopping cart or whether they have logged in or not.

Cookies can be classified based on:

  • duration: session cookies or persistent cookies
  • origin: first-party cookies or third-party cookies;
  • purpose: technical cookies, analytical cookies, or profiling cookies.

Session cookies expire at the end of a browser session (usually when a user closes their browser) and are useful, for example, for storing a user’s order or for security purposes, such as when accessing their online banking or webmail account. On the other hand, cookies that are stored for a longer period of time (between sessions) are called persistent cookies and are useful, for example, for remembering user preferences or for targeted advertising.

The distinction between first-party and third-party cookies refers to the website or domain that installs the cookie. First-party cookies are installed directly by the website being visited by the user, while third-party cookies are installed by a domain different from the one being visited by the user, for example, when the website incorporates elements from other sites, such as images, social media plugins, or advertisements.

It is important to note that the purposes usually fulfilled by a cookie can also be achieved through other similar technologies, including the use of certain functionalities that allow the identification of devices in order to analyze visits to a website. This information applies to any technology that stores or accesses information on the user’s device. This category may include, for example, HTML5 local storage, Local Shared Objects (also called flash cookies), and fingerprinting techniques. In particular, device fingerprinting is a technique that involves combining a series of information to uniquely identify a particular device. Examples of information that device fingerprinting can detect, associate, or infer include:

  • data derived from the configuration of a device;
  • data deduced from the use of specific network protocols;
  • JavaScript;
  • information about HTTP headers, clock information;
  • installed fonts;
  • plugins installed in the browser.

These elements can also be combined with additional information, such as IP addresses or unique identifiers, etc.

From now on, when referring to cookies, this definition will also include other similar technologies.

What are the purposes of cookies used by this site?

Based on their purpose, the cookies installed on this site are classified as technical cookies, functional cookies, analytical cookies, and profiling cookies.

Technical cookies are necessary for the functioning of the website because they enable functions to facilitate user navigation, allowing, for example, access to the user’s profile without having to log in every time, or selecting the language in which the user wants to browse the site without having to set it up each time.

Technical cookies are considered strictly necessary because storing information is essential to provide a service requested by the user. Therefore, technical cookies cannot be disabled, and their installation does not require the prior consent of users (pursuant to Art. 122 of the Privacy Code).

Functional cookies are cookies used to improve the performance and functionality of a website but are not essential for its use. They are used to store preferences and thus promote effective use of the site by the user and a personalized browsing experience (for example, to track the chosen language, log in without having to log in every time, etc.).

Analytical cookies, which can be first-party or third-party, are installed to collect information about the use of the website. In particular, they are useful for statistically analyzing access or visits to the site and enabling the owner to improve its structure, navigation logic, and content. The collected information (including the masked IP address) is used for statistical analysis to improve the use of the site and potentially make the content more interesting and relevant to the user’s desires.

Such cookies can be installed on the user’s device only if the user has expressed their consent.

Profiling cookies, which can be first-party or third-party, are used to track the user’s navigation, analyze their behavior for marketing purposes, and create profiles regarding their tastes, habits, choices, etc. This allows, for example, the transmission of targeted advertising messages based on the user’s interests and in line with the preferences expressed during online navigation. Social media cookies are also included in these cookies.

Such cookies can be installed on the user’s device only if the user has expressed their consent.

How are cookie preferences managed?

Upon the first access to any page of the Sites, there is a banner containing a brief information and a preference management panel for cookies/a button through which it is possible to accept all cookies. The user has the possibility to select/deselect individual cookie categories. Consent to the use of cookies is recorded with a specific “technical cookie.”

Cookie Center

However, users can also express their preferences on cookies through the settings of the browser used. By default, almost all web browsers are set to automatically accept cookies, but users can change the default configuration through the settings of the browser used, which allow them to delete/remove all or some cookies or block the sending of cookies or limit it to certain sites.

Disabling/blocking cookies or their deletion could compromise the optimal use of some areas of the site or prevent some functionalities, as well as affect the operation of third-party services. The configuration of cookie management depends on the browser used. Below are instructions and links to guides for managing cookies in major desktop browsers:
