COOKIES POLICY

WHAT ARE COOKIES AND WHY DO THEY MATTER

A cookie is a small string of code that is sent by a website to the browser of an online computer or mobile device. The cookie is then remembered and stored in a file and sent back to the browser when the same user visits the site again, as a sort of reminder.

Cookies are very important because as well as making navigation easier by storing data and preferences, these small files can track users' browsing behaviour and adapt to their requirements, so for example they can avoid displaying advertising or notifications that the customer does not like or has earlier closed.

Cookies are divided into four main categories:

- technical cookies (navigation or session cookies)
These are mainly for improving site functionality, helping with some operations such as authentication in a protected area, making it possible to maintain the identification of a user during an open session. These cookies store information on user activities and searches and personalise navigation avoiding the repetition or access and search data.

- profiling cookies
Used to define user profiles by sites other than the one you are visiting and used in order to send targeted advertising, depending on the preferences expressed while browsing.
For this reason, the consent of the user is required for the use of cookies.

- functionality cookies
These enable the user to navigate using preset criteria (e.g. language, country of origin) or settings (e.g. text format, colour etc.) in order to improve the service provided. They allow the website to “remember" user choices and improved content by personalising the site.

- third-party cookies
While browsing a website the user may receive cookies sent by sites or servers other than the one they are visiting (the “third parties"), on which some advertising or statistical elements may be stored.
The cookie analytics used to collect statistics may be considered third-party cookies since they indirectly collect information about the number and type of users.

 

HOW TO DISABLE COOKIES
If you wish to refuse some or all cookies, you can select the relevant function depending on your internet browser. Most browsers are preset to automatically accept cookies, but users can set their own browser preferences and be alerted each time a cookie is stored on their computer.

Lastly, at the end of each browsing session, users can delete all the cookies collected or delete those stored in a particular folder.
Each browser has different setting procedures for blocking the installation of new cookies or removing existing ones.
