Cookies and tracking tools
Cookies are small text files that a website may store on a user’s device. They may be used to ensure the correct operation and security of the website, remember preferences, obtain statistics or, subject to consent, measure advertising activity and perform profiling or remarketing. Cookies may be first-party, when they are managed directly by the website being visited, or originate from third-party services integrated into website pages, and they may last only for the browsing session or remain stored for a defined period. Technical and necessary cookies are those required for the operation of the website or to provide functions requested by the user and do not require prior consent. Analytics cookies are used to measure website traffic and usage: they may be treated as equivalent to technical cookies only where the conditions established by applicable law and the competent supervisory authority are met; otherwise they are used only with the user’s consent. Profiling and marketing cookies and other tools used for remarketing, advertising measurement or personalised advertising are activated exclusively after consent. Some functions may also use third-party services: being a “third party” does not by itself determine the purpose of a cookie or other tool, which instead depends on the specific service used and on its category. Information about the cookies actually present, their purposes and storage periods is provided in the dedicated table and in the descriptions of the services used by the website.
Consent management
Where cookies or other tracking tools require consent, users may give, refuse or withdraw that consent at any time through the preference panel or privacy widget available on the website. Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before preferences were changed.
For tools managed by third parties, users may also use any opt-out mechanism provided by the relevant provider, follow the instructions in that provider’s privacy policy, or contact the provider directly.
First-party and third-party tools
The website may use tools managed directly by the Data Controller and tools connected to services supplied by third parties. Third-party providers may receive the technical data required to operate their services according to their own privacy notices. The presence of an external service does not automatically imply profiling: purpose, legal basis and consent requirements depend on the specific service used.
Duration of tracking tools
The duration of cookies and similar tools may vary. Some expire at the end of the browsing session, while others remain stored for a period defined by the Data Controller or the relevant provider. Where available, the specific duration is shown in the cookie table or in the provider’s documentation.
How to control or delete cookies and similar technologies through browser or device settings
Users may use browser or device settings to see which cookies or similar technologies are stored, block them, or delete them. These controls operate at a technical level and generally do not provide the same category-based control as the website’s consent panel.
More information is available in the help pages of the main browsers:
On mobile devices, some tracking preferences may also be managed through the operating system’s privacy, advertising or tracking settings.
How to limit interest-based advertising
In addition to the controls provided by the website and individual providers, users may consult advertising preference services such as YourOnlineChoices for the EU and UK, the Network Advertising Initiative and Digital Advertising Alliance in the United States, DAAC in Canada, and DDAI in Japan.
The Digital Advertising Alliance also provides AppChoices, a tool for managing behavioural advertising preferences in mobile applications.
Consequences of refusing optional tools
Refusing non-essential tools does not prevent access to the website’s essential functions. Optional features that depend on external services, such as videos, maps, embedded content or personalisation functions, may however remain unavailable until the relevant consent is given.
