COOKIE POLICY
INFORMATION ON COOKIES
A “cookie” is a simple text file that is downloaded from the computer (or any other device used to browse) to store information related to the browsing of a given site. Cookies are downloaded from the Web Server that hosts the site and downloaded from browsers (Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome, etc.) used by the end user. These files therefore reside on the user’s device and are used/read during subsequent visits to the site.
TYPES OF COOKIES
This type of cookie allows the proper functioning of certain sections of the site. They can be of two types:
- Persistent: they are not destroyed once the browser is closed but remain up to a preset expiration date
- Session: they are destroyed every time the browser is closed
These cookies, always sent from our domain, are required to view the site and in relation to technical services offered, will thus be increasingly used and sent, unless users change the settings in their browser (thus invalidating the viewing of site pages). These cookies are used exclusively for the correct functioning of the site; for this reason, there is no obligation to request consent. However, the notice of their use is displayed via a banner on the site.
Cookies in this category are used to collect information on the use of the site. These are web analytics cookies and those that store the user’s site customisation choices. These cookies have been deemed non-invasive for the user’s private sphere if the site collects anonymous data and analysed in aggregate form; for this reason, many Guarantors, including the Italian one, have included these cookies4 in the general category of technical cookies.
This type of cookie integrates functionality developed by a third party to internal pages of the site as icons and preferences expressed in social networks in order to share the contents of the site or for the use of third-party software services (such as software to generate maps and additional software that offers additional services). These cookies are sent from third-party domains and partner sites that offer their functionalities through the pages of a site.
Cookies needed to create user profiles in order to send advertising messages in line with the preferences expressed by users in internal pages of the website. For this type of cookie, the user must be able to express consent for their use.
