Cookie policy

Cookies are small text files sent to your computer when you visit our websites. The website visited sends packets of information to the user's Internet browser, which stores them automatically on the computer and sends them back to the server by default each time the site is accessed again. This site uses cookies in accordance with this Privacy Notice. Cookies allow us to obtain useful information on how our websites are used so that we can keep improving them for our users. Personal data generated by cookies are collected through pseudonymisation, and you have the right to object to the processing of such data, as indicated below.

We use cookies on this Website in order to:

• Direct you to the relevant sections of the Website.
• Ensure that the Website looks consistent across different browsers and devices.
• Enable complex areas of the Website to function.
• Keep track of anonymised and aggregated statistical data on visits to the Website in order to improve its performance.
• Analyse behaviour and activities for marketing purposes and create a profile of the user's tastes, habits and choices. In this way we can send targeted advertising messages related to the interests and in line with the preferences shown while browsing.

For this purpose, we may install cookies that collect data such as the user's domain name, Internet service provider, operating system and the date and time of access. The general types of cookies we use and their purposes are explained below.

Purposes of cookies:

• Technical: used to carry out IT authentication, session monitoring and storage of specific information about users accessing a web page. For example, they help to facilitate certain procedures when you shop online, when you log in to restricted-access areas or when a website automatically recognises the language you usually use
• Analytics: used to collect information, in aggregate form, on the number of users and how they visit the site, and then to produce general statistics on the service and its use
• Profiling: used to monitor and profile users while browsing, study their movements and their web browsing or consumption habits (what they buy, what they read, etc.), also for the purpose of sending advertising for targeted and personalised services
• First-party: installed directly by the website the user is visiting (the website shown in the URL window)
• Third-party: cookies installed by a different domain, for example when the Site incorporates elements from other services, such as advertising platforms
• Session: cookies that expire at the end of the browser session (they start when the user opens the browser window and end when the user exits the browser)
• Persistent: cookies that "persist" on the device after the end of the browser session and therefore make it possible to store the user's preferences or actions for their next visit to the website
• Strictly necessary cookies (cookies that are strictly necessary) enable the Site to function properly and allow you to use its content and services easily: for example, you will be able to browse the site while keeping the contents of your cart. Strictly necessary cookies cannot be disabled and prior consent is not required for their installation. These cookies are stored in your browser for the time necessary to ensure the proper functioning of the Site and in any case, in the case of persistent cookies, for a maximum of 1 year
• Marketing cookies are provided by partners responsible for promotional activities to ensure that advertising messages are displayed at the right time and on the appropriate page. These cookies are persistent but limited in time. They contain a unique key to distinguish the browsing habits of individual users; they are also used to limit the number of times a user sees a particular advertisement on a website and to assess the effectiveness of a specific campaign. Finally, these cookies are used to publish relevant ads based on the user's immediate geographical location, for example to indicate the nearest shop where the product being viewed may be available

Most browsers allow you to manage how cookies are set and used while browsing, as well as to delete cookies and browsing data. The browser may also have settings that allow you to manage cookies site by site. Users can set their browser to receive a notification each time they receive a cookie; this will allow them to decide whether or not to accept it. However, if you do not accept a cookie, you may not be able to use all the features of your browser software.

To find out more about cookies, including how to see their settings and how to manage and remove them, please visit http://www.allaboutcookies.org (external link). On this Website we may use Internet tags (also known as web beacons, action tags, single-pixel GIFs, clear GIFs, invisible GIFs and 1-by-1 GIFs) and cookies, and we may do so through a web analytics service partner based in, and storing the related information (including your IP address) in, a foreign country. These tags/cookies are placed on various pages of this Website.

We use this technology to measure users' responses to our sites (including how many times a page is opened and what information is consulted), as well as to evaluate the use of this Website. Our third-party partners, hosting service providers and/or web analytics service partner may collect data about your use of this Website through these anonymised Internet tags/cookies and may prepare reports for us on the activity of this Website and provide further services related to the use of the Website and the Internet. They may provide this information to other parties where required by law or where they use other parties to process the data on their behalf.

This Website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Inc. ("Google"). Google Analytics uses so-called "cookies" (text files stored on your computer) that allow it to understand how you interact with the site's content. This service, with no active advertising features and masking your IP, uses a set of cookies to collect information and generate statistics on the use of the Site.

The information generated by the cookie about your use of this Website is generally transmitted to and stored on a Google server in the United States. If IP anonymisation is activated on this Website, your IP address will in any case first be truncated by Google within a Member State of the EU or in any other State party to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the United States and truncated there. On behalf of the operator of this Website, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the Website, to compile reports on Website activity for its operators and to provide further services associated with the use of the Website and the Internet. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be associated with other data held by Google. You can block the installation of cookies by appropriately setting your browser software; however, please note that in this case you may not be able to make full use of all the functions of this Website.

Please note that on this Website, Google Analytics has been extended with the code "anonymizeIp" to ensure the anonymous collection of IP addresses (so-called IP masking).

Google Adwords & Google Remarketing Cookies

The website may use the Google Adwords programme and Google Remarketing technology. Both are operated by Google Inc. Google AdWords is software that allows advertising space to be placed within Google's search pages. Up to four of these ads are displayed above the unpaid search results, or below the search results, and are selected by an algorithm which, among many variables, takes into account the keywords searched for by the user. In this way, ads relevant to the user's purposes are shown, which also improves the investment of the companies advertising through this service. Ads is the main source of revenue for the Google group. AdWords conversion tracking also uses cookies. To help us keep track of sales and other conversions, a cookie is added to a user's computer when that user clicks on an ad. This cookie lasts 30 days and does not collect or track information that can personally identify a user. Remarketing is a feature that allows you to customise display ad campaigns for users who have previously visited your website and to tailor offers and ads (with dynamic remarketing) to these visitors when they search the web or use apps. In both cases, users can disable cookies in their Internet browser settings. In some cases cookies may cause problems when logging in or while browsing within your AdWords account. When this happens, the best way to fix the problem is to clear the cache and delete the cookies saved for your Internet browser.

Finally, users can disable Google Analytics cookies by downloading a specific browser plug-in available at the following URL https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout. Lastly, we may also use the following types of common cookies:

• Cookies used to customise the user interface (i.e. preference cookies)
• Authentication cookies (i.e. cookies that allow you to leave our sites and return to them without having to log in again)
• Cookies used for audio/video content (i.e. cookies that store the data needed to replay audio or video and your preferences)

This site uses technical cookies to ensure the proper use of the site's content and to enable browsing. In particular, the site uses cookies from the following providers: Google Inc.
