TYPES OF COOKIES

Based on the characteristics and use of cookies, we can distinguish between different categories:

  • Technical cookies are those essential for the correct functioning of the site and are generally used to manage the login and access to the reserved areas of the site. Specifically, they are used for the sole purpose of carrying 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 this service.
  • Analysis and performance cookies are used to collect and analyse traffic and use of the site anonymously. These cookies, even without identifying the user, allow, for example, to detect if the same user returns to connect at different times. They also allow you to monitor the system and improve its performance and usability.
  • Profiling cookies are designed to create user profiles and are used to send advertising messages in line with the preferences expressed by the user while surfing online. Due to the particular invasiveness that such devices can have in the private sphere of users, European and Italian legislation provides that the user must be adequately informed about their use and thus express their valid consent.
