The purpose of this document (the "Cookie Policy") is to explain what cookies are and how they are used on the Site.
Some cookies (so-called own or first-party cookies) are conveyed and controlled directly by us. Through these cookies, the Company collects and processes some personal data concerning you. In this Cookie Policy, pursuant to art. 13 of EU Regulation 2016/679 of 27 April 2016 concerning the protection of individuals with regard to the processing of personal data (the "Regulation"), we explain how we collect this data, for what purposes, and what your rights are.
Other cookies (so-called third-party cookies) are, on the other hand, conveyed and controlled by third parties. In this Cookie Policy you will find links to information published by these third parties, which we ask you to read carefully.
If you are not familiar with cookies, please read this Cookie Policy and the Site’s general Privacy Policy carefully, so that you understand your choices.
The Company takes the utmost account of the right to privacy and the protection of personal data of its Users. For further information relating to this Cookie Policy, Users can contact the Company at any time, using the following methods:

A. What are cookies and what are they for?
Cookies are small text files that the sites visited by the user send directly to that user’s terminal (usually to the browser). Here, they are stored before being re-transmitted to the same sites on the next visit by the same user (so-called first-party cookies). While browsing a site, the user can also receive cookies from different sites or web servers on their terminal (so-called third-party cookies); this happens because the website visited may contain elements including, for example, images, maps, sounds, and specific links to web pages of other domains that reside on servers other than the one on which the requested page is located. In other words, they are those cookies that are set by a website other than the one you are currently visiting.
Cookies may have a duration that is limited to a single browsing session on the browser (so-called session cookies). Session cookies are either automatically deactivated when the user closes the browser or they have a predetermined expiry date. If they have a predetermined expiry date, they remain memorized and active on your hard disk up to that expiry date, and will continue to collect information during different browsing sessions on the browser (so-called permanent cookies).
Cookies are used for various functions. Some are necessary to allow you to browse the site and take advantage of its features (so-called technical cookies). Others are used to obtain statistical information, whether in aggregate or otherwise, on the number of users who access the Site and on how the Site is used (so-called tracking or analytics cookies). Finally, some Cookies are used to trace your consumer profile and display advertisements on the Site that may be of interest to you because they are consistent with your tastes and consumption habits (so-called profiling cookies).
To learn more about these different categories of cookies, please continue reading this policy. Find out how they work and what they are for, and freely choose whether to consent to their use or prevent it.
B. Technical cookies
Technical cookies are used on the Site for the sole purpose of enabling your navigation on the Site and allowing you to use its functions. These are always first-party cookies, as they are conveyed directly by us on the Site.
Some technical cookies are essential to offer you an optimal browsing experience or to allow you to authenticate yourself on the site. Examples include cookies that enable you to make a purchase on the site or enter your private customer area (so-called navigation cookies). Navigation cookies are normally session cookies and, therefore, once the navigation browser is closed, they are automatically deactivated.
Other technical cookies are useful to allow you to memorize some of your preferences (for example, language or country of origin) without having to reset them during subsequent visits (so-called functionality cookies). For this reason, functionality cookies are often persistent cookies, as they remain stored on your computer even after you close your browser, until their expiry date or until you decide to delete them.
The following technical cookies are currently used on the Site:

As required by current privacy legislation, your prior consent is not required for the installation of these cookies. However, you are free to block the installation of technical cookies by modifying the settings of your browser (read paragraph E, n. 1 to find out how to do this). Bear in mind, however, that by blocking the installation of technical cookies, or subsequently eliminating them, your ability to access the Site, to use all or part of it, to enable or disable certain functions, or to receive certain services could be wholly or partially compromised.
C. Monitoring or "analytics" cookies

C2. Third Party Analytics
Other analytics cookies installed on this site are third-party cookies because they are not conveyed directly by us but by third parties. This means that they are not installed directly by the Company but instead by third parties.
For this reason, when you access the Site, a special banner is displayed. The banner informs you that, with your consent, the Site uses third-party analytics cookies and that, by clicking the appropriate button, you can consent to the use of cookies. If you do consent to the installation of cookies in this way, we will track your consent via a specific technical cookie. In this way, we avoid having to display the cookie banner during your subsequent visits to the Site. Please bear in mind that, should you delete this technical cookie from your browser in the manner described in paragraph E, n. 1), evidence of your prior consent will be lost and, therefore, during your next visit to the Site, you will see the cookie banner displayed again.
Of course, you are free to block the installation of analytics cookies at any time, without compromising your ability to visit the Site or use its contents in any way. To find out how to do this, read the information on third-party cookies by following the links in the table above.
D. Profiling cookies
Profiling cookies are used to create your user profile, based on the preferences and tastes detected while browsing the Internet, and to display advertising messages consistent with your profile. This is to ensure that the advertising messages that you see on our site are more closely tailored to your interests.
As required by current privacy legislation, your prior consent is required for the installation of these cookies. Consequently, when you access the Site, a special banner is displayed. This banner informs you that, with your consent, the Site uses third-party profiling cookies and that, by clicking the appropriate button, you can consent to the use of cookies. If you express your consent to this cookie installation, we will track your consent via a specific technical cookie. In this way, we can avoid displaying the cookie banner during your subsequent visits to the Site. Please bear in mind that, if you delete this technical cookie from your browser in the manner described in paragraph E, n. 1, evidence of your consent will be lost. Consequently, during your next visit to the Site, the cookie banner will be displayed again.
Of course, you are free to block the installation of profiling cookies at any time, without compromising your ability to use the Site or use its contents in any way. If you decide to disable behavioural advertising, this does not mean that you will no longer receive advertising on the Site. However, any banners that you do see on the Site may not reflect your interests or preferences on the browser you are currently using.
Please bear in mind that, by logging into the Site using the credentials of a social network to which you are registered, we will receive third-party cookies from the manager of that social network. In addition to allowing you to authenticate your identity on the Site, these cookies may also be used for profiling purposes. Consequently, before choosing this method of logging in, we ask you to read the information provided by the social network in question on the use of these cookies. If you do not want to receive these cookies, log in to the Site as normal without using any social network account. Here is a list of cookies associated with social networks that are used on the Site, with a link to the information pages created by their owners:

E. How to manage cookies and oppose their use
There are several options for managing, disabling and deleting cookies.
(1) Change your browser settings
Follow the instructions provided by the manufacturer of your browser to find out how to manage, disable or delete all cookies (technical, analytics and profiling):
Explorer: http://windows.microsoft.com/it-it/windows-vista/block-or-allow-cookies
Chrome: https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/95647?hl=it
Firefox: https://support.mozilla.org/it/kb/Attivare%20e%20disattivare%20i%20cookie
Safari: https://support.apple.com/kb/PH17191?locale=it_IT
Opera: https://help.opera.com/en/latest/web-preferences/#cookies
Make your choices carefully. By indiscriminately blocking the reception of all cookies, including technical ones, without providing for a specific exception for this Site, you may no longer be able to browse the Site or use all or part of its features. Furthermore, by deleting all cookies from your browser, technical cookies could also be removed. This could remove previous preferences you have set using the Site or could mean that you can no longer find products or services added to your shopping cart.
(2) Use the interactive tools provided by third parties
To disable, manage and delete third-party cookies, consult the privacy policies of third parties that install analytics cookies (see paragraph C above) or profiling cookies (see paragraph D above). Remember that, by disabling third-party cookies, (i) you preclude their use not only on this Site but on all internet sites on which these cookies are used and (ii) the ability to navigate on this Site and use its features will not be in no way affected.
(3) Use the website https://www.youronlinechoices.com/
Your Online Choices is a website managed by the non-profit European Interactive Digital Advertising Alliance (EDAA). The EDAA provides information on behavioural advertising based on profiling cookies and allows internet users to easily decline (opt-out from) the installation of the main profiling cookies installed by advertisers and used on websites. Before using this tool, we advise you to read the general conditions of service of the Your Online Choices website, the frequently asked questions (FAQ) and the user guide.

Furthermore, remember that by deleting all cookies from your browser, even technical cookies issued by Your Online Choices to remember your choices could be deleted, making third-party cookies active again.
F. Processing methods and data storage times
As highlighted in the introduction to this Cookie Policy, the Company may collect and process some of your personal data through the cookies that it places directly on the Site (first-party cookies). The Company acts as data controller for this data, in compliance with the provisions of the Regulation. We will process your data only with electronic tools, in a totally automated way and without human intervention. This means that our employees and collaborators will never access any of your personal data obtained through cookies. In turn, this means that they will never be able to access and/or have PII (Personally Identifiable Information), i.e. information from which it would be possible to identify you directly.
Some of our employees and collaborators, entrusted by us with the processing, may carry out maintenance work on the computer systems that host your data, without ever being able to access their actual content. Personal data may be stored on servers managed by third parties (e.g. IT system suppliers) or may be managed by subjects specialized in online advertising, who act as data controllers on the basis of a specific written appointment. In compliance with the conditions and guarantees established by the Regulation, your data will not be transferred to countries not belonging to the European Economic Area that may not offer a level of protection of privacy and personal data protection comparable to that guaranteed by Italian and European laws on privacy. Where the Company acts as owner, we will give the utmost consideration to data security and will proceed with the management of such transfers with all due caution and appropriate guarantees. Your personal data will not be disclosed to third party data controllers.
Your personal data will be kept for the period of time strictly necessary for the carrying out the primary purposes illustrated in this information, or in any case according to the period of time necessary for the protection of the rights of both the Users and the Company.
