Cookie Policy

Last updated: 14 October 2024

1. Introduction

This document contains information about the technologies that allow this Website to achieve the purposes described below. These technologies allow the Owner to collect and save information (for example through the use of Cookies) or to use resources (for example by running a script) on the User's device when the latter interacts with this Website.

For simplicity, in this document these technologies are briefly defined as "Tracking Tools", unless there is reason to differentiate. For example, although Cookies can be used in both web and mobile browsers, it would be inappropriate to talk about Cookies in the context of applications for mobile devices, since these are Tracking Tools that require the presence of a browser. For this reason, within this document the term Cookie is used only to specifically indicate that particular type of Tracking Tool.

Some of the purposes for which Tracking Tools are used may also require the User's consent. If consent is given, it can be freely revoked at any time by following the instructions contained in this document.

This Website uses Tracking Tools managed directly by the Owner (commonly called "first-party" Tracking Tools) and Tracking Tools that enable services provided by third parties (commonly called "third-party" Tracking Tools). Unless otherwise specified within this document, these third parties have access to their respective Tracking Tools.

Duration and expiry of Cookies and other similar Tracking Tools may vary depending on what is set by the Owner or by each third party supplier. Some of them expire at the end of the User's browsing session. In addition to what is specified in the description of each of the categories below, Users can obtain more detailed and updated information on the duration, as well as any other relevant information – such as the presence of other Tracking Tools – in the privacy policies of the respective third-party suppliers (via the links made available) or by contacting the Owner.
