TYPES OF COOKIES
Based on the characteristics and use of cookies, we can distinguish these categories:

“Technical” cookies (performance): these are cookies strictly necessary for the correct operation of a site, used to supply services in a better way and improve your surfing experience. These cookies, even without identifying the user, allow, for example, to detect if the same user returns to connect at different times. Thanks to cookies, the site remembers minimum quantities of information related to your actions and preferences (for instance, login, language and other display settings) so that they don’t have to be re-entered when you visit the site again or you surf from one page to another.

Analytic Cookies: they are used to collect and analyze anonymously traffic and use the site.

Profiling cookies: these are persistent cookies used to identify user preferences and send advertising messages based on those. This website does not use this type of cookie.

THIRD PARTY COOKIES
Visiting a website you may receive cookies both from the visited site (“owner”), and from websites maintained by other organizations (“third parties”). An example is the presence of “social plugins” for Facebook, Twitter, Google+ etc. Those parts of the visited page are directly generated by the above mentioned sites and are integrated into the host site page.

The presence of these plugins involves the transmission of cookies to and from all sites operated by third parties. The management of the information collected by “third parties” shall be governed by the relevant information to which you are kindly invited to refer.
