1. DEFINITIONS

Cookies are strings of text created by a web application and stored on the device utilized by the user to access the Internet (PC, smartphone, tablet, etc.) which are then retransmitted upon the user’s subsequent Internet accesses.  Cookies make it possible to collect information about the user’s browsing of the Website: for example, to remember the language preferences or the currency used to make a purchase.  Cookies can be permanently stored on the device and have a variable duration (so-called persistent cookies), but they can also disappear when the browser is closed or have a limited duration (so-called session cookies).  Cookies can be installed by the website being visited by the user (so-called first-party cookies) or they can be installed by other websites (so-called third-party cookies).

Similar technologies such as, for example, web beacons, transparent GIFs and all the forms of local storage introduced with HTML5, can be used to gather information about the user’s behavior and use of the services.

1.1 Types of cookies

Based on the characteristics and utilization of the cookies it is possible to distinguish several categories: 

Strictly Necessary Cookies.  These are cookies which are essential for the correct functioning of the Website and are used to manage the session, the login and access to the reserved website functions.  The duration of these cookies is strictly limited to the work session (they are deleted when the browser is closed).

Analytical/Performance Cookies.  These are cookies used to collect and analyze website traffic and utilization.  These cookies make it possible, for example, to detect whether the same user connects up at different times.  They also make it possible to monitor the system and improve its performance and usability.  These cookies can be disabled without losing any functionality.

Profiling Cookies.  These are cookies used in order to identify the users’ preferences and improve their browsing experience, possibly matching it with other information.

1.2 Third-party Cookies 

Visiting a website could result in receiving cookies from the website itself (“proprietary”) as well as from websites managed by other organizations ("third parties").  One notable example is the presence of "social plug-ins" or the integration of third-party maps.  These are parts of the page visited which are generated directly by the above websites and integrated into the page of the host website.  The most common utilization of social plug-ins is aimed at sharing content on social networks, whereas the maps make it possible to locate the activity according to the geographical coordinates established.  

The presence of these services leads to the transmission of cookies from and to all the websites managed by third parties.  The management of the information collected by "third parties" is regulated by the relevant information statements to which we would ask you to refer.  In order to guarantee greater transparency and convenience, below is a list of the web addresses of the various information statements and cookie management methods.
