The legal basis of data processing which originates with recourse to cookies are:

• for technical cookies (essential for the correct functioning of the website and to allow browsing): the legitimate interest of the data controller coincides with the aim of the cookies;

COOKIES USED on the website 

Below is a list of the cookies divided into two macro-categories:

“TECHNICAL” and functional cookies: Technical cookies are those used for the sole purpose of “transmitting a communication over an electronic communications network, or as strictly necessary for the provider of an information society service explicitly requested by the subscriber or user to provide this service” (see article 122, paragraph 1 of the Data Protection Code). They are not used for other purposes. They can be divided into navigation or session cookies, which guarantee the normal navigation and use of the website (allowing, for example, to make a purchase or authentication for access restricted areas); analytics cookies, similar to technical cookies when used directly by the site manager to collect information, in aggregate form, on the number of users and how they visit the site; functionality cookies, which allow the user to browse according to a series of selected criteria (for example, the language, the products selected for purchase) in order to improve the service provided. To install these cookies prior consent from users is not required;

PROFILING COOKIES: Profiling cookies are designed to create user profiles and are used in order to send advertising messages in line with the preferences expressed by the user while browsing

What are cookies and how are they used

Cookies are small amounts of data which sites visited by users send to their computers. These files are saved and memorised on the user’s hard disk to be transmitted to the same sites when they are visited again. Through cookies servers receive information that is reread and updated every time the user returns to the site.
Cookies contain the following information:

• indication of the server or domain from which they were generated;

• their duration (or expiry date);

• a unique identification code;

• a unique value.

In any case cookies cannot cause any damage to user’s computers.

Cookies have the task of facilitating consultation of the website and improve the browser experience. Furthermore, they provide the website operator with information, most of the time aggregated and anonymous, on user navigation in order to obtain statistics on the use of the website.
In addition, some cookies collect and store what users have done on sites on users’ devices; This information can be used:

• to recognise users (or better devices used by users) by re-proposing the settings previously requested/chosen by these requests/choices also during subsequent visits;

• to analyse preferences shown by users during browsing to create a profile essentially used to display or send personalized promotional marketing messages that are in line with the interests inferable from user's browsing.

Types of cookies

Cookies can be divided into the following categories: Technical cookies and profiling cookies.

“TECHNICAL and functional COOKIES: Technical cookies are those used for the sole purpose of “transmitting a communication over an electronic communications network, or as strictly necessary for the provider of an information society service explicitly requested by the subscriber or user to provide this service” (see article 122, paragraph 1 of the Data Protection Code). They allow the website to functional optimally, however users can decide not to allow them to be used by changing the settings of the browser used. Disabling these cookies may prevent access to some features of the website.
Technical cookies can be divided as follows:

• Navigation cookies or session cookies  
  They are required for normal navigation and to use all functions on the website (such as to maintain the session and access restricted areas) and do not collect information to be used for profiling or marketing purposes. Without these cookies it would not be possible to provide the requested services.
  
  

• Functionality cookies 
  They allow users to browse according to a number of selected criteria (for example the language of the website) thus improving the browsing experience. Information collected with these cookies is anonymous.
  

• Anonymous analytics cookies
  They are similar to technical cookies where they are used by the website operator to collect aggregate information on the number of users and how they visit the site. They are used to simplify management. The information collected by these cookies does not allow for user identification.
  

To install technical cookies prior consent by users is not required even if the obligation to provide this cookie policy remains. Acquisition and processing of data deriving from the use of technical cookies is necessary to browse the site correctly. In the event of opposition of users it will not be possible for them to view the site correctly and in its entirety. The legal basis for using technical cookies remains the legitimate interest of the data controller consisting of the correct functioning of the website and to improve the services provided.

PROFILING COOKIES
As mentioned above these cookies make it possible to acquire information relating to the preferences and the way users interact with the website and are used to assign users (in realty most of the time the computers used by users) with profiles in order to optimise the effectiveness and usability of the website by also personalising promotional/advertising messages viewed by individual users. These cookies can be installed on users’ computers only when they have been previously and adequately informed and have given consent.

The legal basis for using profiling cookies is the consent of interested parties (users of devices used for browsing) according to the methods indicated in the “Guidelines on the use of cookies and other tracking tools” - 10 June 2021 – by the Italian Data Protection Authority (Published in the Gazzetta Ufficiale no. 163 on the 9 July 2021).

THIRD PARTY COOKIES

While browsing a website cookies from other sites managed by third parties can be installed in users’ browser folders.
This occurs because on the site there can be elements present such as, for example images, maps, sounds, specific links to web pages of other domains that reside on servers other than that of the requested website. In other words these cookies are set directly by website managers or servers that are different to the site visited. These third parties could in fact set cookies while you are browsing the site and therefore obtain information relating to the fact that you visited the website.
In this case the data controller only acts as a technical intermediary between users and these other sites.
For further information you can visit the following website: www.youronlinechoices.com/it/.
If users do not give their consent to store third party cookies they may only use the functions of the website which do not require these type of cookies to be stored.
With regard to the data controller responsibility of the processing carried out using third party cookies please see the respective cookie and privacy policies that can be reached using the links above and the following paragraphs.
