What are cookies and their purposes
Cookies are small text files that sites visited by the user send directly to the device used by the user, where they are stored and then transmitted to the same sites the next time the same user visits (so-called first-party cookies). While browsing a site, the user may also receive on his/her device cookies from different sites or web servers (so-called third-party cookies); this happens because on the website visited there may be elements such as, for example, images, maps, sounds, specific links to web pages of other domains that reside on servers different from the one on which the requested page is located. In other words, they are those cookies that are set by a website other than the one you are currently visiting.
Cookies may have a lifetime limited to a single browser session (session cookies), in which case they are automatically deactivated when the user closes the browser; or they may have a predetermined expiry date, in which case they will remain stored and active on the user’s hard disk until that expiry date, continuing to collect information over the course of different browser sessions (permanent cookies).
Cookies are used for different functions. Some are necessary to enable you to browse the Site and take advantage of its features (so-called technical cookies). Others are used to obtain statistical information, whether aggregated or not, about the number of users accessing the Site and how the Site is used (so-called analytical cookies). Finally, others are used to draw up a consumer profile of the user and display advertisements on the Site that may be of interest to the latter, insofar as they are consistent with his/her tastes and consumption (so-called profiling – marketing cookies).
To learn about these different categories of cookies in more detail, continue reading this information. Find out how they work and what they are used for, and freely choose whether to consent to their use or prevent it.

Analytical or analytical cookies are necessary to collect information and statistics about users’ browsing and interaction with the website in order to evaluate, improve, optimise and personalise the browsing experience. Without the use of such cookies, the site owner will not be able to collect information and feedback on navigation useful to improve future experiences.

PROFILING – MARKETING COOKIES
The purpose of profiling cookies is generally to keep track of user behaviour while browsing, with the aim of creating a profile of the user according to certain parameters and placing him/her in certain homogeneous categories in order to customise advertisements, advertisements or search engine results accordingly. The following is a list of the profiling-marketing cookies forwarded, indicating the origin, expiry date and function of the tool, as well as the eventual link to the privacy policy of the party providing the functionality.

N.B.: Expiry of cookies with a duration of less than one day is indicated as ‘Session closure’.
social button and widget
Social buttons are those particular ‘buttons’ present on the site that depict the icons of social networks (e.g. Facebook and Twitter) and allow users who are browsing to interact with a ‘click’ directly with the social platforms.
The social buttons on the site are links that refer to the Controller’s accounts on the social networks depicted. Through the use of these buttons, no third-party cookies are therefore installed on the site. However, links are provided where the user can view the privacy policy on data management by the social networks to which the buttons refer:
Widgets are spaces in which, through a graphical interface, the user can interact with an application, a programme or another website. The use of these interfaces is subject to the conditions and terms of use of the service provided through them, including with regard to personal data. Here is a list of the widgets present on the site:
Tracking Tools
Trackers (or web beacons) are tools and technologies used to provide users with engaging and interconnected experiences, consisting of code snippets that send information about site users to other digital service providers.
Trackers may use the information sent for different purposes, such as sending personalised advertising material, analysing and collecting statistics about users’ browsing habits or making services available within the site, such as access to social networks or comment areas, and other functionalities. In most cases the information collected is anonymised or pseudonymised; sometimes the data does not undergo such processing, so it can directly identify a specific user.
The use of this technology may slow down the browsing experience and, above all, make the confidentiality of one’s personal data less certain. There are free and paid services that allow you to collect more information on trackers and manage your preferences in this respect, including Ghostery (browser extension).
