Cookie Policy
What are cookies?
In English, the term “cookie” means a small baked treat, but in the context of web browsing, a “cookie” is something entirely different. When you access our Website, a small amount of text called a “cookie” is stored in your browser. This text contains various information about your browsing, habits, preferences, content customizations, etc.
There are other technologies that work similarly and are also used to collect data on your browsing activity. We will refer to all of these technologies collectively as “cookies.”
The specific ways we use these technologies are described in this document.
What are cookies used for on this website?
Cookies are an essential part of how the Website functions. The primary purpose of our cookies is to enhance your browsing experience. For example, they allow us to remember your preferences (language, country, etc.) during your visit and for future visits. The information collected by cookies also enables us to improve the website, tailor it to your interests as a user, speed up your searches, etc.
In certain cases, with your prior informed consent, we may use cookies for other purposes, such as to gather information that allows us to show you advertising based on an analysis of your browsing habits.
What are cookies NOT used for on this website?
We do not store sensitive personal identification information, such as your name, address, or password, in the cookies we use.
Who uses the information stored in cookies?
The information stored in cookies on our Website is exclusively used by us, except for those identified below as “third-party cookies,” which are used and managed by external entities providing services that improve the user experience. For example, statistics on the number of visits, popular content, etc., are typically managed by Google Analytics.

What types of cookies are used on this website?
Each website uses its own cookies. On our website, we use the following:
Own cookies:
These are cookies sent to the user’s device from a device or domain managed by the website owner and used to provide the requested service.
Third-party cookies:
These are cookies sent to the user’s device from a device or domain not managed by the website owner but by another entity that processes the data obtained through the cookies.
If cookies are provided from a device or domain managed by the website owner, but the information collected is managed by a third party, these cannot be considered “own cookies” if the third party uses them for their own purposes (for example, to improve the services provided or to provide advertising services for other entities).
BASED ON THEIR DURATION
Session cookies:
These cookies are designed to collect and store data while the User accesses a website.
They are typically used to store information only relevant to the provision of the service requested by the User on a single occasion (for example, a list of purchased products) and disappear when the session ends.
Persistent cookies:
These cookies store data on the terminal device and can be accessed and processed for a period defined by the cookie manager, which can range from a few minutes to several years. It is advisable to carefully consider the necessity of using persistent cookies, as privacy risks could be reduced by using session cookies instead. In any case, when persistent cookies are installed, it is recommended to limit their duration to the minimum necessary based on their purpose. In this regard, the 4/2012 Opinion of the WP29 stated that, for a cookie to be exempt from the duty of informed consent, its expiration should be related to its purpose. Thus, session cookies are more likely to be considered exempt than persistent ones.
