This website uses cookies to store information on your computer. This disclaimer explains how we use cookies and may be modified from time to time without notice. To ensure you are using this site with complete and up-to-date information regarding our use of cookies, we invite you to check this page. By using this site, you accept the placement of cookies on your computer in accordance with the terms of this disclaimer. If you do not wish to accept cookies from this site, please either disable cookies or refrain from using this site.
1. What are cookies?
A cookie is a string consisting solely of text that a website transfers to the appropriate browser file on your computer’s hard drive, so that the site itself can store some information about you. This includes, for example, the pages visited, choices made in menus, and any information possibly entered in forms at the time and date of connection to the site. By themselves, cookies cannot be used to identify a user.
2. Types of cookies
There are two types of cookies:
- Session cookies: These are temporary cookies that expire at the end of a browser session, that is, when you leave the site. Session cookies allow the website to recognize how you move between pages during a browser session and enable you to use the website more efficiently. For example, session cookies help a website remember that a user has placed items in an online shopping cart.
- Persistent cookies: Unlike session cookies, persistent cookies are stored on your computer even after browser sessions end and are kept until they expire or are deleted. They allow the site to ‘recognize’ you upon your return and remember your preferences and customizations.
In addition to session cookies and persistent cookies, there may be other cookies set by the website you have chosen to visit, in order to provide information to us or to third parties.
3. Our use of cookies
We currently use, and may use in the future, the following types of cookies on this website.
We use session cookies to:
- Help us maintain security and verify your details while improving your experience on our site.
We use persistent cookies to:
- Help us recognize you as unique users when you return to our website, so you don’t have to re-enter your data and to improve the site’s usability
- Remember how you have customized the use of this site, such as language, preferred currency, time zone, etc.
- Collect and compile anonymous, aggregate information for statistical and evaluation purposes to help us understand how users use the site and help us improve the structure of our website.
Many cookies are designed to give you optimal web usage. For example, we use cookies to allow you to improve your user experience when using our site (e.g., a cookie recognizes if your browser supports a specific technological feature). This helps, for example, to load web pages faster when you request the download of large files.
In addition to cookies that send information to us, we also use cookies that collect information that is sent to third parties. An example of this is Google Analytics (for more details, see: Google Privacy Policy – Opt Out), or the buttons for sharing our content on major Social Networks: in this case, the generated cookies belong to the Social Network selected each time.
Please consult the third-party website for further information about their use of cookies.
As with first-party cookies, you can block third-party cookies through your browser settings.
Some of our cookies may collect and store personal information, such as your name or email address. We are committed to respecting and protecting your privacy and ensuring that all personal information collected by us will be maintained and processed in accordance with the privacy policy.
4. Refusing Cookies on This Site

It may also be possible to configure your browser settings to enable the acceptance of specific cookies or to notify you each time a new cookie is about to be stored on your computer. This will allow you to decide whether to accept or reject cookies. To manage the use of cookies, there are various resources available, for example, the ‘Help’ section of your browser can assist you. You can also disable or delete data stored and used by technology similar to cookies, such as local shared objects or Flash cookies, through your browser settings or by visiting the website of the respective manufacturer.
