1. What cookies are
Cookies are small text files that websites visited by the user send to the user’s device, where they are stored and then transmitted back to the same websites on the next visit.
Cookies allow the website to function properly, improve the browsing experience, remember certain user preferences and, where present, collect statistical information or display personalised content.
2. Types of cookies used
This website may use the following categories of cookies.
2.1 Technical cookies
Technical cookies are necessary for the proper functioning of the website and to allow normal browsing of its pages.
This category includes, by way of example:
- session cookies;
- security cookies;
- cookies required for page loading;
- cookies required to manage any technical preferences of the user;
- cookies required for the operation of any contact forms.
The use of technical cookies does not require the user’s consent.
2.2 Analytics cookies
The website may use analytics cookies to collect statistical information on the use of the website, such as the number of visitors, the most visited pages, time spent on the website and the ways users interact with the content.
If analytics cookies are used in anonymous or aggregated form and do not allow the direct identification of the user, they may be treated as technical cookies within the limits provided for by applicable law.
If, on the other hand, analytics cookies allow the identification of the user or are provided by third parties without adequate anonymisation measures, they will be used only with the user’s prior consent.
2.3 Profiling and marketing cookies
The website may use profiling or marketing cookies to analyse the user’s behaviour and display personalised content or advertising messages.
These cookies are installed only with the user’s express consent, given through the appropriate banner or preference management panel.
2.4 Third-party cookies
While browsing the website, the user may receive cookies from services managed by third parties.
By way of example, such services may include:
- statistical analysis tools;
- interactive maps;
- embedded videos;
- external fonts or libraries;
- social sharing buttons;
- anti-spam or security services;
- cookie consent management services.
Third-party cookies are subject to the respective privacy notices and cookie policies of the relevant providers.
3. Legal basis for processing
The legal basis for processing varies according to the type of cookie used:
- for technical cookies, the legal basis is the Controller’s legitimate interest in ensuring the proper functioning and security of the website;
- for analytics cookies equivalent to technical cookies, the legal basis is the Controller’s legitimate interest in producing aggregated statistics;
- for non-anonymised analytics cookies, profiling cookies, marketing cookies or non-technical third-party cookies, the legal basis is the user’s consent.
4. Consent management
Upon first accessing the website, where cookies other than technical cookies are present, the user will see a banner allowing them to:
- accept all cookies;
- reject non-necessary cookies;
- customise their preferences;
- access this Cookie Policy.
The user may change or withdraw consent at any time through the appropriate cookie preference management panel, if available on the website.
Withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before the withdrawal.
5. Cookie duration
Cookies may have different durations depending on their function.
- Session cookies: these are automatically deleted when the browser is closed.
- Persistent cookies: these remain stored on the user’s device until they expire or are manually deleted.
The specific duration of cookies may vary depending on the service used and, where available, is indicated in the cookie preference management panel.
6. How to disable cookies from the browser
The user can also manage, block or delete cookies through their browser settings.
Below are links to the instructions for the main browsers:
Disabling technical cookies may compromise the proper functioning of the website.
7. Third-party services that may be used

In such cases, the transfer will take place in accordance with the safeguards provided for by the GDPR, such as adequacy decisions, standard contractual clauses or other appropriate measures.
