2. What cookies are
Cookies are small text files that websites send to the user’s browser, where they are stored and sent back to the same websites on the next visit. Similar technologies (pixels, local storage, device identifiers) are treated here in the same way as cookies. Under Italian law cookies are divided into technical cookies, which are necessary for the Website to work and can be used without consent, and non-technical cookies (statistics and profiling/marketing), which are only installed with the user’s consent.
3. How we manage consent
On your first visit the Website shows a banner allowing you to accept all cookies, reject all cookies except the necessary ones, or customise your choice by category. If no choice is made, only necessary cookies remain active. Your choice is stored in your browser and is not requested again for six months, unless the processing conditions change significantly or you delete your cookies. You can change or withdraw your consent at any time via the icon in the bottom left corner of every page.
The Website also uses Google’s Consent Mode: until consent is given, the Google services described below do not set cookies and do not read identifiers on your device.
