For more information regarding the processing of personal data through the Website, please see the privacy notice.

2.   DEFINITION AND TYPES OF COOKIES

Cookies are text strings that the websites visited by the user (so-called “publisher” or “first-party” websites) or else different websites or web servers (so-called “third parties”) place and store within a terminal device in the user’s possession — whether directly as is the case with publisher websites, or indirectly as is the case with third parties, i.e. through the intermediation of the publisher websites. The terminal devices referred to include, for example, a computer, a tablet, a smartphone, or any other device capable of storing information; software for browsing the internet and operating these devices can store cookies and then transmit them back to the sites that generated them on the occasion of a subsequent visit by the user, thus keeping track of that user’s previous interaction with one or more websites.

The information encoded in cookies may include:

·      Personal information, such as an IP address, username, unique identifier or email address; 

·      Non-personal information, such as settings or information on the type of device a person is using to navigate within a website.

There are two basic categories of cookies with different characteristics: technical cookies and profiling cookies.

·      Technical cookies are used solely for the purpose of “carrying out the transmission of a communication over an electronic communications network, or to the extent strictly necessary for the provider of an information society service explicitly requested by the contracting party or user to provide that service”;

·      Profiling cookies are used to trace specific actions or recurring behavioral patterns in the use of the offered functionalities back to specific, identified or identifiable individuals for the purpose of grouping the different profiles within homogeneous, multi-sized clusters; this is aimed in turn to enable a data controller to, inter alia, provide increasingly customized services beyond what is strictly necessary for the delivery of the given service and also send targeted advertising messages, i.e. messages that are in line with the preferences expressed by the user in the context of their web-browsing activities. 

Cookies can also be distinguished according to the entity that manages the installed cookies:

·      First-party cookies, which are generated and managed directly by the publisher of the website on which you are browsing;

·      Third-party cookies, which are generated and managed by parties other than the publisher of the website you are browsing (usually under an agreement between the website publisher and the third party).

Below are links to the most popular browsers, where there is information about how to disable storing cookies or delete cookies already stored on your browser:

·      Microsoft Edge

·      Google Chrome

·      Mozilla Firefox

·      Apple Safari
