COOKIE INFORMATION NOTICE
- What is a cookie? Let us explain
-
Every time you visit a website, your browser saves a small file on the device you use.
These files are called cookies, and their purpose is to keep the website active and to allow the website managers to monitor online activity.
There are two types: persistent cookies and session cookies. The former are memorised permanently, while the latter expire every time the browser is closed.
Cookies may also be technical or third-party; the former come directly from the website you have visited, while the latter come from other websites. - Which kind of cookies does this website use?
- Below you will find all the types of cookies used by our website. Each one has its own specific function.
| TYPE OF COOKIE | FUNCTION |
|---|---|
| Session cookies |
These allow for the proper functioning of the website. They recognise the country you are in so they can show you the website in your language. Another important function is to allow you to register with an account, to access the site using your login name, to manage content and personalised orders, to remember you and your info each time you access the website. |
| Functional cookies |
These improve your website browsing experience, for example by allowing the website to remember all your data in cases in which you specifically ask it to. |
| Analytical Cookies |
These allow systems such as Google Analytics to analyse website browsing statistics: for example, how many users access the site from computers or mobile devices, which pages of the website are used most often, or for how long. All these data are useful to continue improving the use of the website. They are anonymous and are used for statistical purposes, in the event that the service provider uses cookies that connect with your browser. |
| Third-party cookies for marketing/retargeting |
These work to show you content that may be of interest to you, from websites other than the one you are visiting. They are also used to tell the website you are visiting which content and products are of most interest to you. To this end, their function is based on your browsing history, and they suggest to you products similar to those you have been looking at. These cookies connect to the browser you used to visit our website. |
