Purposes, legal bases, data retention and data recipients

General information about Cookies and other tracking tools
Cookies are small text strings that websites visited by users send to their terminal devices, where they are typically stored in browsers. Examples of terminal devices are laptop, workstations and smartphones, while the browser is the software for accessing websites such as Firefox, Safari or Google Chrome.
Cookies are used to carry on essential functions of any website, including session monitoring, storing information about specific configurations of users accessing servers, facilitating the use of online content, etc. For example, they can be used to keep track of items in an online shopping cart or of information used to fill in an electronic form.
The information collected via cookies can also be used to define a profile of the preferences expressed by users while browsing a website, in order, for example, to customise marketing messages.
There are also other tools with which similar results can be achieved, based on reading the information already present in the user terminal device, such as the browser used or an identification code of the terminal device called ‘MAC address’; sometimes they are also referred to as ‘device finger printing’.
In this Policy we use the term ‘Cookie’ in order to denote collectively the aforementioned elements.
According to current cookie related regulations, with specific reference to the GDPR and European regulations about electronic communications:
Your consent is not required for the technical cookies, as they are necessary for carrying on technical storage or access for the sole purpose of carrying out or facilitating the transmission of a communication over an electronic communications network, or as strictly necessary in order to provide a service explicitly requested by you.
For all the other types of cookies, before their application, we ask your prior consent. You can revoke at any time the consent, where given. The management of the cookie consents is carried out by the Cookie Management Platform (CMP) operated by Cookiebot. All the detailed information regarding the cookies used in this website as well as the possibility to decide whether or not to provide consent according to cookie legislation, is managed by means of the Cookie Banner which is presented to users when they first access the website, and which they can access again as many times as they wish by clicking on the icon at the bottom, accessible in all the pages of the website, so that they can consult it again at any time and decide to modify their initial choices regarding cookies. The detailed information reports: cookie name, specific purposes pursued, data retention periods, Third Parties who can access the information collected with cookies.
Below a general description of cookies on our website and relevant information, as provided for pursuant to data protection legislation.

Technical cookies used by this website
Technical cookies can have purposes such as:
authentication, validation and storage of specific technical information;
preference storage and website function optimisation.
Technical cookies include functionality cookies, which are used to provide a service requested by users of the website, for example to be able to purchase a product online and then put it in the virtual shopping cart: as reported above, that they do not require user consent and are always active because, if disabled, it would become complex, if not impossible, for users to browse and interact with the contents of the website pages.

Analytical cookies used by this website
Cookies may also be used to assess the effectiveness of a service provided through the website, to design/update pages of the website itself, or to help measure “traffic”, i.e. the number of visitors, also by geographic area, connection time or other characteristics. On our website, the use of these cookies is limited solely to the production of aggregate statistics, not allowing tracking of the browsing of the person using different applications or browsing different websites. In addition, Third Parties who provide our website with this type of analytical cookie, are contractually required not to combine the data, even if minimised in this way, with other processing for their own purposes or to transmit it to other their Third Parties.

Profiling cookies used by this website
Profiling cookies make it possible to analyse the choices made by users when using the website, for example which pages of the website were viewed, which products were shown to be of interest (e.g.: product placed in the ‘shopping cart’ but then not purchased), in order to be able to then provide such users with targeted advertising, measure the effectiveness of the advertising message, or adapt the type and method of service provided through the website to the behaviour of users in previous visits to the website.

Cookie Banner
On the first visit to the website, users are shown the Cookie Banner with detailed information about cookies and the possibility to express their free consent (except for the technical cookies, as reported above).
Users can always subsequently access the Banner again by clicking on the icon at the bottom of all pages of the website, for reviewing/changing their choices regarding consents.
Moreover, the Banner is subsequently shown again to users when they access our website in the presence of one of the following cases:
one or more processing conditions change significantly and therefore the Banner must be shown to provide updated information
it is impossible for us, as managers of the website, to be aware of the fact that a cookie has already been previously activated because, for example, users have subsequently chosen to delete all cookies legitimately installed on their terminal device using the specific functionalities made available to browsers, so it is impossible for us to know whether such users had previously visited our website or not;
at least 6 months have passed since the Banner was previously shown, for those users who had not provided their consent.
Your disabling/deleting cookies directly using the browser functionalities
The users can modify the settings of the browser in order to prevent the installation of or deleting cookies on their terminal device (smartphone, personal computer).
