The purpose of this cookies policy (hereinafter, "Cookie Policy" or, simply, "Policy") is to familiarize you with these technologies and to inform you about the cookies that we

2. WHAT ARE COOKIES?
A cookie is a small text file, usually consisting of letters and numbers, which is transferred by us on your device (computer, tablet, smartphone or any mobile device) and stored therein for a determined period of time. For example, there are cookies uniquely identifying a device, distinguishing it from another.
Please note that other technologies similar to cookies (such as pixel tags, web beacons or, where present, social network plug-ins) may also be used to collect information about the device you are using. These technologies also fall into the general category of "cookies" under this Cookie Policy.
3. WHY DO WE USE COOKIES?
We use cookies for different purposes.
Some cookies are absolutely necessary to allow the Website to function properly and provide you with a good browsing experience, such as moving in a simple way from one page of the Website to another and providing you with the services envisaged therein (e.g. moving between the pages of the Website and accessing its contents).
Other cookies are necessary to make browsing easier, or to make browsing as much in line as possible with your preferences and characteristics.
In addition, certain cookies are useful to us to get information that can be used for our analytics and statistical purposes, for example to know the number of users connected to the Website or, where applicable, to ensure a direct link to social networks.
4. WHAT INFORMATION DO COOKIES CONTAIN?
The information collected with cookies generally relates to your device, such as IP address, login details, operating system and platform used, type or terminal, screen resolution, type of internet browser, time zone setting, country of origin, information about visits to the Website including the URL, length of visit, page response times, download errors and information about page interaction (such as the number of clicks or browsing patterns).
Generally, a single information is not sufficient to identify each user personally, but it could do so if it is read in combination with other information collected via the Website or a third party.
We can classify cookies according to how long they are stored on the user's device, the party who installs and manages them, and, above all, the purposes for which they are installed.
4.1 Storage duration
Based on how long cookies are stored, we can distinguish between the two following categories:
• Session cookies, which are the cookies installed when the Website is opened and which are deleted when the browser is closed, or when the Website is closed, or when the session expires. The information is thus stored temporarily and allows, for example, navigation to be maintained.
• Permanent cookies, which are the cookies that remain stored on your device even after having closed the browser for a defined period of time which is predetermined by us. These cookies allow, for example, your preferences to be remembered, so that you do not have to enter them again when opening the Website.
4.2 Cookies source
Cookies can be also classified based on the source they come from. In this context, we distinguish between two categories of cookies:
• Proprietary (or "First-Party") cookies, which are cookies that are created by the Website you are visiting, and which are associated with its domain name.
• Third-Party cookies, which are cookies created by third-party suppliers and are associated with a domain name different from that of the Website. Where present, such cookies may be placed on the Website and would be governed by the privacy policies of the relevant third parties, which can be found on their respective websites.
4.3 Cookies purposes
Based on the purposes for which cookies are installed, they can be classified in the following categories:
• Strictly necessary (or "Technical") cookies. These cookies ensure the proper functioning of the Website and the use of the services existing on it. They make it possible, for example, to recognize the language of the country you are connecting from and to save the choices you made on the cookie banner, thus avoiding for you the need to make the choice again each time you access the Website. They also improve your browsing experience. These cookies are used exclusively to ensure the basic functionality of the Website and, therefore, your prior consent is not required for their installation. You may set your browser to block these cookies, but please note that in such a case, as a result, some or all parts of the Website will not work.
• Analytical cookies. Certain analytical cookies are installed and managed directly by us and are used to analyze how the Website is used, to count the accesses to the Website, the traffic sources, the pages viewed, so as to allow us to make changes and improvements on the Website. They may collect data in anonymous form for statistical purposes only. Other analytical cookies may be instead installed by third parties (such as Adobe or Google Analytics) in order to track your activity on the Website and so drawing information which is useful for us.

Depending on the configuration of the Website and the services activated from time to time, the following further categories of cookies may also be present:
• Marketing and profiling cookies. Where used, these cookies may track your navigation in order to create personalized content, for example to show you products which may be of interest to you or similar to those you have already viewed. To the extent such cookies are present, refusal or withdrawal of consent will not interfere with your possibility of accessing or browsing the Website. Some of these cookies may be installed by third parties in order to track your activity on the Website and draw information useful to us. To help you make a more informed decision on whether or not to consent to the collection of such cookies, should they be present, please visit http://www.youronlinechoices.com/.
• Social Network Cookies. Where present, these cookies may allow you to use the various social network functions integrated, through plug-ins, into our Website, enabling a direct connection with the relevant social network server. Any such plug-ins would not be managed by us, but by the relevant third parties. These cookies are not necessary for browsing the Website. For more information on how these third parties process your data through such cookies, and to enable you to provide informed consent where applicable, we invite you to consult the privacy policies of the relevant social networks (such as Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, TikTok, X and Google), which are available on their respective websites.

5. HOW TO MANAGE COOKIES
Strictly necessary cookies enabling the basic functions of the Website are installed automatically when the Website is opened, without requiring your consent.

You can also view and change your preferences about cookies at any time via your browser settings.
