What is a Cookie

A cookie is a small file sent to your browser and stored on your device when you visit a website. Cookies allow the website to enhance efficiency by personalizing your browsing experience through identification of your preferences, such as username, language, etc., for a certain period of time.

Types of Cookies Used by the Website

The website uses different types of cookies: some are set and managed by the Data Controller (first-party cookies), others are set and managed by third parties according to their own privacy policies (third-party cookies).

Technical/Functional Cookies

These are cookies necessary for the correct functioning of the website. They allow navigation, content sharing, and storage of, for example, your login credentials to speed up access on subsequent visits (if you are a registered user) and to activate your navigation preferences. Without technical cookies, we could not ensure the proper functioning of the services accessed on the website. Functional cookies are not essential for site operation but improve quality and user experience.

Analytical Cookies

These cookies allow the Data Controller to collect information on how users use the website to create anonymous and aggregated statistical analyses on the number of users and navigation methods on the site. For the collection and analysis of website usage behavior for statistical purposes without acquiring personally identifiable information, we use Google Analytics (GA4). Where non-fully anonymized services are present, for privacy protection, they are listed among third-party cookies for which consent can be denied.

Profiling Cookies

These cookies aim to create personalized profiles of users for advertising and marketing purposes in line with preferences expressed during online navigation. The installation and use of these cookies require the user’s consent.

The website provides users with buttons to share content via social networks or other communication tools. By clicking the symbol of the chosen sharing tool, the user will access third-party features or platforms that may set cookies for which the Data Controller is not responsible.

At any time, it is possible to modify or withdraw consent from the Cookie Declaration on our website.
