Cookies
Cookies are small text strings that the websites visited by the user send to their device (usually the browser), where they are stored and then retransmitted to the same websites during the user’s subsequent visits. During browsing on a website, the user may also receive cookies on their device that are sent by different websites or web servers (so-called “third parties”), on which certain elements (such as images, maps, sounds, or specific links to pages on other domains) present on the site being visited may reside. Cookies, usually present in users’ browsers in very large numbers and sometimes with long persistence durations, are used for different purposes: performing IT authentication, session monitoring, storing information on specific configurations relating to users who access the server, etc. In this regard, and for the purposes of this provision, two main categories are identified: “technical” cookies and “profiling” cookies.

a. Technical cookies
Technical cookies are those 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 subscriber or user to provide such service” (see Article 122, paragraph 1, of the Code). They are not used for any further purposes and are normally installed directly by the owner or operator of the website. They can be divided into navigation or session cookies, which ensure the normal browsing and use of the website (for example, allowing purchases to be made or authentication to access restricted areas); analytics cookies, which are treated as technical cookies when used directly by the site operator to collect information, in aggregated form, on the number of users and how they visit the website; functionality cookies, which allow the user to navigate according to a series of selected criteria (for example, language or selected products for purchase) in order to improve the service provided.

b. Profiling cookies
Profiling cookies are intended to create profiles relating to the user and are used to send advertising messages in line with the preferences expressed by the user during web browsing.

Which cookies are used by this website?
This website uses different types of cookies and similar technologies, each with a specific function. The website can also be browsed without the use of cookies, although the browsing experience may not be optimal. The cookies used and their functions are listed below.

Navigation and session cookies
Navigation cookies and session cookies ensure the normal browsing and use of the website (for example, allowing content to be displayed on the device by recognizing the language of the country from which the user connects, or allowing purchases through e-commerce systems). Navigation cookies are technical cookies and are therefore necessary for the functioning of the website, improving its quality and the browsing experience.

Analytics cookies
This website uses Google Analytics and Jotform to collect and process statistical analyses on how users browse the website through computers or mobile applications, such as the number of pages visited or the number of clicks made on a page during navigation. The information generated regarding our website is used by our company to produce reports on website usage in order to improve usability, functionality, interface, and communication. Our website processes the results of these analyses anonymously and exclusively for statistical purposes.

Profiling cookies
These are intended to understand individual user preferences in order to provide, during browsing, targeted content of interest based on previous navigation.

Almost all browsers are set to automatically accept cookies. It is possible to control and, if necessary, disable cookies through your browser settings. Disabling or blocking navigation or functionality cookies may prevent optimal use of certain areas of the website, limiting the service provided.
