Cookies
A cookie is a simple text file that is stored on the user’s computer or mobile device by a website server and can be read or retrieved by the same server. It contains some information and allows the website to remember, for example, user preferences. The Electronic Communications Directive and the Italian Data Protection Authority’s Provision No. 229 of May 8, 2014, on the “Identification of simplified procedures for the information and acquisition of consent for the use of cookies,” require that the use of cookies be allowed only with the user’s consent.
Do we use cookies on our website?
Yes. Cookies are used to improve the website and to provide services and features to users. You can limit or disable the use of cookies through your web browser. However, in this case, some features of the website may become inaccessible.
Why do we use cookies?
Cookies can be used for different reasons. In some parts of our website, cookies are essential, and without them, you may not be able, for example, to browse the site properly or view listings. We are always looking for ways to improve our website and better promote our services. To do so, it is important for us to understand how our website is used. Cookies also help us provide a better and richer experience: for something you find interesting, you might want to “Like” it on Facebook or tweet it (cookies facilitate these actions).
What types of cookies are used on our website?
Technical cookies
Technical cookies are used solely to “carry out the transmission of a communication over an electronic communications network, or as strictly necessary for the provider of an information society service explicitly requested by the subscriber or user to provide that service” (see Article 122, paragraph 1, of the Privacy Code).
They are not used for further purposes and are normally installed directly by the website owner or operator. They can be divided into:
Browsing or session cookies
These are used to store data necessary for normal website navigation and use on the user’s computer (for example, remembering the preferred page size in a list). These cookies can be further categorized based on their persistence on the user’s computer: those that are automatically deleted at the end of each browsing session are called session cookies. If they have a longer lifespan, they are called persistent cookies.
Functional cookies
These cookies allow the website to remember user choices to optimize functionalities. For example, functional cookies enable the website to remember a user’s specific settings, such as country selection and, if set, permanent login status.
Analytical cookies
These cookies allow the collection of data on website usage, including elements clicked during navigation, to improve site performance and design. They may be shared with our third-party analytics providers. However, they are used exclusively for purposes related to our website.
Third-party cookies
These cookies are linked to services provided by third parties, such as “Like” and “Share” buttons, and monitor advertising effectiveness. The third party provides these services in exchange for information about the user’s visit to our website. Therefore, third-party cookie providers are also required to comply with relevant regulations. For this reason, we refer users to the web pages of these third parties, where they can find consent forms and related information. If services are provided through indirect contact with third parties, users should consult the websites of intermediaries between us and third parties.
There are no third-party cookies on this website.
How to disable or remove cookies?
Most browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can also choose not to accept them. We do not recommend this option, as it may prevent normal navigation and the use of all website features. If you do not want your computer to receive and store cookies, you can change your browser security settings (Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, Safari, etc.). However, note that certain parts of our website can be fully used only if your browser accepts cookies; otherwise, for example, you may not be able to access the reserved area. Consequently, your choice to remove or not accept cookies may negatively affect your experience on our website.
