About cookies

Cookies are small text files that websites visited by a user send and store on his or her personal computer or any other device, including mobile devices, to be sent back to the same websites the next time the user visits them. Cookies are used for various purposes: for example, to remember the user's actions and preferences (such as, for example, login data, chosen language, font size, other display settings, etc.) so that they do not have to be specified again when the user returns to that website or navigates from one page of it to another; or to perform computer authentication or session monitoring and to save information regarding the activities of users accessing a website, and may also contain a unique identification code that allows tracking of the user's navigation within the website for statistical or advertising purposes. Certain operations may not be carried out without using cookies, which are therefore in certain cases technically necessary for the operation of the website itself.

Types of cookies and their functions

There are various types of cookies, with different characteristics and functions:

• Technical cookies (strictly necessary):
  • are used for the sole purpose of transmitting a communication over an electronic communications network, or, to the extent strictly necessary, to provide a service explicitly requested by the user.
  • are used to allow you to log in to reserved areas and to make e-commerce purchases.
  • allow you to browse the website better according to criteria and options you have already selected (such as, for instance, your preferred language, so that you do not have to select that option each time you access the website, or the products you have chosen to purchase, so that you can store them in your virtual shopping cart until the next time you access the website).
  These are, in other words, cookies that are strictly necessary for the operation of the website or necessary to perform activities requested by you.
• Analytics cookies, used to collect information, in pooled form, on the number of users and pages viewed (e.g. Google AdWords, Google Analytics).
