What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files that the visited websites send to your terminal or device (computer, smartphone, tablet), where they are stored. Cookies are saved in the browser directory. At each subsequent visit to the site in question, the browser sends the cookies back to the site itself, so that the latter recognizes the terminal, thus improving the user experience at each subsequent visit to the site.
Cookies allow us to store and retrieve information on your browsing habits or on the device from which you access in general anonymously and, depending on the information they contain, if you are previously registered, to recognize you as a user or customer. Some information that is obtained thanks to cookies will allow us to verify the number of pages you visit, your preferred language, the place from which you access our site, the number of new users, the frequency of access, the duration of the visit and others information relating to navigation.

What types of cookies exist?
Cookies are usually classified and divided into 2 main categories: technical cookies and profiling cookies.
- Technical cookies are generally necessary for the website to function properly and to allow navigation; without them you may not be able to display the pages correctly or to use some services. For example, a technical cookie is essential to keep the user connected throughout the visit to a website, or to memorize the language settings, the display, and so on.
Technical cookies can be further divided into:
– navigation cookies, which guarantee the normal navigation and use of the website (allowing, for example, to make a purchase or authenticate to access restricted areas);
– analytics cookies, assimilated to technical cookies only when used directly by the site manager or where, even if supported by third-party sites, all measures are taken to reduce the identifying power of cookies and deny the possibility for the third-party site to cross information collections with others already available
– functionality cookies, which allow the user to browse according to a series of selected criteria in order to improve the service provided - Profiling cookies are more sophisticated: these cookies have the task of profiling the user and are used in order to send advertising messages in line with the preferences expressed by the user while browsing.
Cookies can, again, be classified as:
- session cookies, which are deleted immediately when the browser is closed;
- persistent cookies, which – unlike session cookies – remain within the browser for a certain period of time. They are used, for example, to recognize the device that connects to the site, facilitating authentication operations for the user.
- first-party cookies, i.e. cookies generated and managed directly by the manager of the website on which the user is browsing.
- third-party cookies, which are generated and managed by parties other than the operator of the website on which the user is browsing (generally these are websites linked to the site on which the user is browsing with links or links).
What cookies does this site use?
As for technical cookies, they are necessary for the proper functioning of some areas of the site. Cookies in this category include both persistent cookies and session cookies:
– persistent: once the browser is closed they are not destroyed but remain up to a preset expiration date, such as, for example, those used to memorize the express acceptance regarding the use of the cookies themselves (as indicated in the consent banner)
– session: they are destroyed every time the browser is closed.
In the absence of these cookies, the site or some portions of it may not work properly. Therefore, they are always used, regardless of the user’s preferences. Cookies in this category are always sent from our domain.
