1. General information about cookies

1.1 Definition
Cookies are small text files that are sent and recorded on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website, and then transmitted back to the same website when you visit it again. Cookies allow the website to remember your behavior and preferences (e.g. login details, preferred language or other display settings) so that you do not have to re-enter them on your next visit or when browsing through the pages of the website. Cookies are used for authentication purposes, monitoring and storing information on the activities of users accessing a website. They may contain unique identification factors that allow to track users' navigation and experience on a site for statistical or advertising purposes. While browsing, it is possible that your computer or mobile device may receive cookies from servers or websites other than the one you are visiting (so-called third party cookies). Some operations may be impossible without cookies; this is the reason why they are sometimes necessary for a website to work properly.
The main cookies categories are:
- session or persistent cookies;
- technical or profiling cookies;
- first party or third party cookies.
-
1.2 Session and persistent cookies
Cookies may expire at the end of a browser session (the period between the user opening a browser and closing it) or they may be stored for a longer period of time. Session cookies are those that allow websites to relate the actions of a user during a browser session. Session cookies expire when the browser session ends. Persistent cookies remain saved on users' device also between browser sessions, for variable periods of time, and allow to remember users' preferences or actions with respect to a website.

1.3 Technical and profiling cookies
Technical cookies are used by the owner of a website exclusively for transmitting a message on an electronic communication network, or to the extent strictly necessary for the provider of an information service explicitly requested by the user. Prior consent of users is not required for the activation of these cookies if they are utilized directly by the site manager.
Profiling cookies are designed to create profiles of users and are utilized to send advertising messages in line with the preferences expressed by the individuals during their previous browsing. Because of the particular invasiveness of these cookies, European and Italian legislations require that users must be adequately informed about the possibility of their use, by means of a banner and an extended information notice published on the website. Users must give their express consent to letting a website activate this kind of cookies first time they visit it. This consent can be expressed in a general way, interacting with the above-mentioned short information banner, or it can be provided or denied selectively, in the ways indicated hereafter. This consent is considered valid also for subsequent visits. However, users always have the possibility to revoke all, or part of the consent already expressed.

1.4 First party and third party cookies
A cookie is either a "first party cookie" or a "third party cookie", depending on the website or domain it comes from.
In essence, first party cookies are cookies set and managed by the website owner. For these cookies, the obligation of providing information, acquiring prior consent and/or allowing the blocking of cookies fall under the responsibility of the site owner.
Third-party cookies are cookies set by a domain other than the one visited by the user. For these cookies, the third party is responsible for providing information and indicating the modalities for granting consent and/or blocking cookies, while the site owner is only obliged to insert the link to the third party's website where such elements are available.
