Our Website’s Use of Cookies
Below, you will find all the necessary information about what cookies are and the types we use.
A cookie is a small text file that a website saves on your device (e.g., computer, tablet, smartphone) as you browse. Cookies help the website remember your actions and preferences (such as login to secure areas, language selection, or other display settings) so you don’t have to re-enter them when you return to the site or navigate between pages. Cookies are also used, for example, to track visits by new or returning visitors and to store some non-personal, anonymous information about their page navigation (entry links, exit links, page navigation, duration of stay, etc.).
By using the site and clicking on the “Accept all cookies” button, you agree to the installation of both “first-party” and “third-party” cookies on your device as listed in the “Cookies Used on This Site” table in this policy.
You can choose to accept all cookies or only certain categories of them by setting your preferences on the banner displayed at your first access, or in the “Current Status of Consents Given and Withdrawal” section of this page.
Depending on the type of cookies disabled, the navigability of the site (or parts of it) may be compromised or limited.
TYPES OF COOKIES
Cookies have been classified into 5 categories: Necessary Technical, Preferences, Statistics, Marketing, and Additional Functionality. The site may not use all the described categories, but only those listed in the “Cookies Used on This Site” table (each cookie’s classification category can be viewed).
NECESSARY TECHNICAL
These are essential for the proper functioning of the site’s pages and cannot be disabled. Without these cookies, site navigability would be compromised to the extent that proper use is not possible. They allow, for example, tracking of authentication performed by a user or site administrator.
PREFERENCES
These cookies store user choices to improve navigation (e.g., prefilling a form with the name used previously). This type of cookie may include personal information (e.g., the user’s name or email address). Without these cookies, some functionality and page navigation could be compromised.
STATISTICS
These cookies are used to anonymously collect and analyze the behavior of visitors while using the site to improve its usability and user experience.
MARKETING
Marketing cookies are installed to display advertising content targeted at the user’s interests. These cookies work in conjunction with third-party sites (e.g., advertising for a previously visited site might be displayed on a different site through remarketing) and can track past navigation on different domain pages. These cookies typically track the user’s IP address along with other information, some of which can be personal.
ADDITIONAL FUNCTIONALITY
This category includes all other additional functionalities integrated into the site (e.g., boxes related to social network streams, comments through external services, social sharing buttons, live chat, etc.). Disabling these elements (and the corresponding cookies) does not compromise the use of the site; simply, the disabled functionalities will not be available.
Social network tools (usually installed with code blocks inserted into the host site’s pages) may use third-party cookies installed by the social networks themselves (e.g., Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, etc.); the site does not share any information with such widgets.
