Cookies Policy
The EU Cookie Law was approved in Italy with legislative decrees 69/2012 and 70/2012. In May 2014, the Personal Data Protection Authority intervened with a provision for the identification of simplified procedures for the information 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 like this one must comply with.
This Cookie Policy is aimed at providing the user with information relating to cookies and their use and how to intervene to refuse or delete them if desired, bearing in mind that, however, by disabling cookies, some site features may not work correctly as expected.
What are cookies and what are they used for
Cookies are small text strings (files) that the sites visited by the user send to the device (usually to the browser), where they are stored before being re-transmitted to the same sites on subsequent visits.
Cookies, in addition to allowing the site to function efficiently and improve its performance, allow us to offer the user a better browsing experience, allowing for example to memorize the preferences set (language, currency, etc.).
The use of cookies is therefore aimed at monitoring sessions, performing IT authentications and storing information on specific configurations by users.
Blocking or removing cookies could therefore cause incomplete use of the services provided by the site.
Types of cookies
Cookies are mainly distinguished in:
- Technical cookies: they are used to allow navigation according to a series of selected criteria in order to improve the user’s service (the choice of language, the products selected for purchase or authentication to access restricted areas) .
For these cookies, the prior consent of the user is not required (pursuant to article 122, paragraph 1, of the Privacy Code, in the formulation in force following the entry into force of Legislative Decree 69/2012). - Profiling cookies: they are used to send advertising messages in line with the preferences expressed by the user while surfing the net and are aimed at creating user profiles. The Italian and European information provides that the user must be adequately informed on the use of profiling cookies and express their consent.
Further types of cookies concern the different period of time through which a cookie operates and are divided into:
- Session (or transient) cookies: necessary to allow safe and efficient exploration of the site. They are limited to the transmission of session identifiers consisting of random numbers generated by the server, are not stored on the user’s computer and disappear when the web browser is closed.
- Persistent cookies: they are stored by the web browser and remain valid until the set expiration date unless the user removes them before that date.
Cookies can also be First Party, in the case of cookies created and readable by the site that created them, or by the manager of the site itself, or Third Party, in the case of cookies deriving from a site other than the one you are visiting which installs them on the latter.
Cookies used on this site
- Navigation cookies: these are technical cookies necessary for the site to function. They allow the user’s access settings to be recognized without having to enter any data that may have been entered, at each visit to the site.
These cookies can be disabled from the web browser in use. To do this, refer to the following paragraph “How to disable or remove cookies”. - Functional cookies: they are not essential for the functioning of the site but they improve the browsing experience and quality. For example, if items have been added to the shopping cart but the session has been closed before completing the purchase, the next time the site is accessed (and in any case within a limited period), the selected products can be found again.
These cookies can be disabled from the web browser in use. To do this, refer to the following paragraph “How to disable or remove cookies”.
- Analytical cookies: these Third Party cookies are used to process statistical analyzes on site navigation methods. This site uses Google Analytics as a monitoring system for web statistics. No personal user data is acquired by the site for this purpose.
Cookies are not used to transmit information of a personal nature, nor are c.d. persistent cookies of any kind, or systems for tracking users.
The use of c.d. session cookies (which are not stored permanently on the user’s computer and disappear when the browser is closed) is strictly limited to the transmission of session identifiers (consisting of random numbers generated by the server) necessary to allow safe exploration and site efficiency.
The so-called Session cookies used on this site avoid the use of other IT techniques potentially prejudicial to the privacy of users’ browsing and do not allow the acquisition of personal identification data of the user.
