What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are automatically placed on the user's PC within the browser. They contain basic information about internet browsing and are recognized by the browser each time the user visits the site.
Below are details about the cookies installed by this site and instructions on how to manage your preferences regarding them.

What are cookies used for?
Cookies are useful as they allow you to store the user's browsing preferences and therefore customize the site according to their needs, improving users' browsing experience. For example, cookies can make using the Site more immediate and/or enable certain functionalities. For instance, cookies can prevent you from re-entering the same information multiple times during a visit. In certain cases, cookies can also ensure that the advertisements displayed online are more appropriate to the user or relevant to their interests. Some cookies are necessary for the proper provision of the Site or useful for personalized use of the same; in this case, their inhibition could compromise some functionalities of the Site. Furthermore, thanks to cookies, advertising in line with your interests, deduced based on your online activities and browsing habits, can be published on the Site itself, directly or through third parties.

Which categories of cookies are used on the Site:

1 WEBSITE OPERATION - Technical or essential cookies

These cookies are necessary for the functioning of the site and for essential activities such as fraud protection. The technical cookies described below do not require consent and are therefore automatically installed upon access to the site.

- Cookies necessary for operation: cookies that allow the site to function correctly, also enabling the user to have a functional browsing experience. For example, they keep the user logged in while browsing, preventing the site from asking to log in multiple times to access subsequent pages.

- Statistical and Audience Measurement Cookies: cookies that help understand, through anonymously and aggregated data, how users interact with the website, providing information about visited sections, time spent on the site, and any malfunctions. These cookies are necessary for the site's operation and essential activities such as fraud protection.

For example, in some cases, the Google Analytics cookies used by this site have been anonymized and are therefore equivalent to technical cookies.

 

2 SAVING PREFERENCES - Functional Cookies

This category includes cookies that allow remembering selected preferences during navigation, for example, they allow setting the language. These cookies are released only upon user request and with their prior consent. The user is free to give their consent to the installation of functional cookies and revoke it via the "Reject all" button, without compromising the possibility of visiting the Site and enjoying its content; however, if you do not consent to these cookies, the use of some features may be affected.

These cookies allow us to understand how you interact with the site and what type of content is relevant to you. Cookies in this category are used to collect statistical information, in non-aggregated form, on the use of the Site by users who access the Site and on how they navigate the Site.
As required by applicable law, the user's prior consent is required for the installation of third-party analytical cookies.

4 CUSTOMIZE MARKETING - Profiling Cookies

These cookies allow us to show ads on other sites and marketing communications based on your interests.

In accordance with applicable law, the prior consent of users is required for the installation of profiling cookies. The user is free to give their consent to the installation of profiling cookies and revoke it at any time via the banner without the possibility of visiting the Site and enjoying its content being compromised. If the user gives their consent to the installation of profiling cookies, the Owner will keep track of this consent through a specific technical cookie. This way, it will be possible to avoid re-proposing the cookie banner during future visits to the Site.
Profiling cookies are installed by the Owner and by Third Parties, who act as independent data controllers (third-party cookies) as external service providers who use their internal privacy policies where the user individually accepts with their username if registered on platforms such as META (Facebook, Instagram, Whatsapp).
