Cookies are small text files sent to the user from the Website being visited. They are stored on the computer’s hard disk thus allowing the website to recognise users and store certain information about them to enable or improve the service offered.

There are several types of cookies. Some are needed to navigate the Site, others are used for different purposes such as ensuring internal security, system administration, carrying out statistical analysis, determining which sections of the Site are of most interest to users or offering users a customised view of the Site.

The Site uses technical non-profiling cookies. All the above refers both to the user’s computer and to any other device that the user may use to connect to the Site.

Technical cookies

Technical cookies are those used for the sole purpose of carrying out the transmission of information over an electronic communications network, or to the extent strictly necessary for the provider of an information service to provide services requested explicitly by the subscriber or user.

They are not used for other purposes and are normally installed directly by the data controller or website manager.
They can be divided into navigation or session cookies, which ensure normal navigation and use of the website (allowing, for example, a purchase or authentication for access to restricted areas); analytics cookies, similar to technical cookies when used directly by the website manager to collect aggregated information about the number of users and how they visit the website; functionality cookies that allow the user to navigate according to a set of selected criteria (for example, language preference, products selected for purchase) in order to improve the service they are offered.

Disabling the cookies may limit your ability to use the Site and prevent full access to the features and services available on the Site. To help you decide which ones to accept or reject, a description of the cookies used on the Site is provided below.
