The EU Cookie Law was implemented in Italy through Legislative Decrees no. 69/2012 and 70/2012. In May 2014, the Italian Data Protection Authority (Garante per la Protezione dei Dati Personali) issued a provision identifying simplified procedures for information notices and the acquisition of consent for the use of cookies (8 May 2014 – published in the Official Gazette no. 126 of 3 June 2014), which websites such as this one must comply with.

This Cookie Policy is intended to provide users with information regarding cookies and their use, as well as instructions on how to refuse or delete them if desired. Please note that disabling cookies may cause some website features not to function properly.

What cookies are and what they are used for

Cookies are small text strings (files) that websites visited by the user send to the user’s device (usually the browser), where they are stored and then retransmitted to the same websites during subsequent visits.

Cookies allow efficient website operation and improved performance, as well as a better browsing experience by storing user preferences such as language, currency, and similar settings.

Cookies are therefore used for session monitoring, computer authentication, and storage of information relating to specific user configurations.

Blocking or deleting cookies may result in incomplete use of the services provided by the website.

Types of cookies

Cookies are mainly divided into:

• Technical cookies: used to enable navigation based on selected criteria in order to improve the user experience (e.g. language selection, products selected for purchase, authentication for access to restricted areas).
  For these cookies, prior user consent is not required pursuant to Article 122(1) of the Italian Privacy Code as amended by Legislative Decree 69/2012.

• Profiling cookies: used to send advertising messages in line with the preferences expressed by the user while browsing the web and aimed at creating user profiles. Italian and European regulations require that users be adequately informed and give their consent to the use of profiling cookies.

Cookies may also be classified according to their duration:

• Session cookies (or temporary cookies): necessary to enable secure and efficient browsing of the website. They consist of randomly generated session identifiers, are not stored on the user’s device, and are deleted when the browser is closed.

• Persistent cookies: stored by the browser and remain valid until their expiration date unless deleted earlier by the user.

Cookies may also be first-party cookies, created and readable by the website itself, or third-party cookies, originating from a website different from the one being visited.

Cookies used on this website

• Navigation cookies: technical cookies necessary for the operation of the website. They allow recognition of user access settings without re-entering data at each visit.
  These cookies can be disabled via browser settings (see “How to disable or remove cookies”).

• Functional cookies: not essential for website operation but improve browsing quality and user experience. For example, products added to the cart may be remembered if the session is closed before completing a purchase.
  These cookies can also be disabled via browser settings.

• Analytical cookies: this website uses Google Analytics with anonymized IP addresses to analyze web traffic, a service provided by Google Inc. These are third-party cookies collected and managed anonymously to monitor and improve website performance.
  Google Analytics uses cookies to collect and analyze anonymous information on website usage. This website does not use Google Analytics to collect personally identifiable information. Google does not associate IP addresses with other Google data nor attempt to link IP addresses to user identities. Google may disclose this information to third parties where required by law or where such parties process the information on Google’s behalf.
