What are cookies?
The website uses a technology called “cookies” along with other tracking tools. Their main purpose is to analyze how users interact with the site (most visited pages, time spent on the site, etc.), improve site performance, and enhance and simplify the user experience.
Cookies are small text strings that websites send to the user’s computer or any device used to access the Internet (such as smartphones and tablets), where they are stored to be sent back to the same sites on subsequent visits by the same user.
Cookies can be stored permanently or for a variable duration, but they may also disappear when the browser is closed or have a limited lifespan (so-called session cookies). Cookies may be installed by the website being visited (so-called first-party cookies) or by other websites (so-called third-party cookies) and are used for IT authentication, session tracking, and storing information about user activities on a particular site.
Cookies, as outlined in the Cookie and Tracking Tools Guidelines of the Data Protection Authority, can be classified into two main categories:
Technical cookies, used solely for “transmitting a communication over an electronic communication network, or as strictly necessary for the provider of an information society service explicitly requested by the subscriber or user to provide such a service” (see Article 122, paragraph 1 of the Code);
Profiling cookies, used to link specific actions or recurring behavior patterns during the use of features (patterns) to identified or identifiable subjects for the purpose of grouping different profiles into homogeneous clusters, allowing the Controller, among other things, to tailor the service more and more individually, beyond what is strictly necessary for service provision, and to send targeted advertisements in line with user preferences during internet browsing.
User consent is not required for the installation of technical cookies. Cookies can be installed directly by the site operator or by another site that installs them through the first (so-called “third-party” cookies).
Users can obtain more detailed and up-to-date information on the duration of cookies, as well as any other relevant information, from the privacy policies of the respective third-party providers (via the links provided) or by contacting the Controller.
Managing cookies may involve the transfer of data to countries outside the European Union where the adequacy of the third country’s data protection laws has not been recognized by the European Commission (Article 45 of Regulation EU 2016/679). By consenting to the use of analytical and/or profiling cookies, the user also consents, where necessary, to such data transfers.

Technical Cookies
The Site uses the following types of first-party technical cookies:
Session cookies: essential to allow the user to navigate the Site normally and properly use its services. Since they are not stored on the user’s computer, they disappear when the browser is closed.
Functionality cookies: designed solely to improve and speed up navigation on the Site by remembering certain choices made by the user (such as language preferences).
These tools are used by the Controller to ensure efficient navigation, session stability, and the preselection of the user’s chosen country. They also serve to anonymously remember user choices regarding the display of certain page elements, such as informational or communication banners. As previously mentioned, the use of technical cookies and the related data processing does not require the user’s prior consent.
However, the user can still block the installation of these cookies at any time through their browser settings, as outlined later in this policy, bearing in mind that doing so may complicate, slow down, or sometimes block navigation on the Site and, more generally, on the Internet.
