DEFINITION

Cookies are small text files, containing a certain amount of information, exchanged between a website and the user's terminal (usually the browser). They are mainly used for the purpose of making websites work and operate more efficiently, as well as in order to provide information to the owners of the site itself.

Cookies can be both session and persistent. Session cookies remain stored on the device for a short period of time and are deleted as soon as the user closes the browser. Their use is strictly limited to the transmission of session identifiers (consisting of random numbers generated by the server) necessary to allow safe and efficient exploration of the site. Persistent cookies, on the other hand, remain stored in the user's terminal until a predetermined expiry date. These, not being deleted directly when the browser is closed, allow us to remember the choices made by the user on their site as well as to collect information about the pages of the site visited, the frequency with which the site is visited and to identify the navigation track of users, in order to improve the experience on the site. Finally, session or persistent cookies can be first-party or third-party cookies depending on whether the subject who installs the cookies on the user's terminal is the same manager of the site the user is visiting (we will then speak of first-party cookies) or of a different subject (we will then speak of third-party cookies).

TYPES OF COOKIES

Cookies, depending on the purposes pursued, can be qualified as:

• Technical cookies: these are those cookies that allow you to browse and/or provide a service requested by the user (for example, cookies that automatically recognize the language the user uses). These cookies are necessary for the operation of the site and cannot be turned off in our systems.
• Analytics cookies: these are those cookies used by website managers to collect aggregate information of a statistical nature (e.g. number of visitors to the website). In turn, analytical cookies can be first-party analytical cookies, installed directly on the site you are visiting, and third-party analytical cookies, made available by third parties. 
• Profiling cookies: these are those cookies that control the user's browsing, tracking a user's behavior and the preferences expressed in order to send advertising messages in line with their profile. If you do not accept these cookies, you will not be sent targeted advertising.

CONSENT

When not required

According to the current legislation, for technical, session and analysis cookies that do not do profiling (as they are necessary to provide the requested services) the user's consent is not required. These include:

1. Analytics cookies, if used directly by the site manager to collect information, in aggregate form, on the number of users and how they visit the site;
2. navigation or session cookies (to authenticate);

• functionality cookies that allow the user to browse according to a series of selected criteria (e.g. language, products selected for purchase) in order to improve the service provided to the user

When it is required

For all other types of cookies, consent can be expressed through:

1. the banner displayed when you first access this site;
2. configuring your browser;

• from your settings when using third-party services.

*Failure to consent may prevent you from using or viewing the full functionality of the site. The choices made can be modified at any time, consent, in particular, can be revoked, without any burden and prejudice to the lawfulness of the processing carried out up to the revocation.
