What is a cookie and what is it for?
Cookies are small text files that the sites visited by the user send and record on their computer or mobile device, to be then re-transmitted to the same sites on the next visit. Thanks to cookies, a site remembers the user's actions and preferences (such as, for example, login data, the chosen language, other display settings, etc.) so that they do not have to be indicated again when the user returns to visit the site or navigate from one page to another of it.
Cookies, therefore, are used to perform computer authentication, monitor sessions and store information regarding the activities of users who access a site and can also contain a unique identification code that allows tracking of the user's navigation within of the site itself for statistical or advertising purposes. While browsing a site, the user may also receive cookies from sites or web servers other than the one he is visiting (so-called "third party" cookies) on his computer or mobile device. Some operations could not be carried out without the use of cookies, which in certain cases are therefore technically necessary for the functioning of the site.
There are various types of cookies, depending on their characteristics and functions, and these can remain on the user's computer or mobile device for different periods of time: so-called session cookies, which are automatically deleted when the browser is closed; so-called persistent cookies, which remain on the user's equipment until a pre-established expiry date.
Based on current legislation in Italy, express user consent is not always required for the use of cookies. In particular, "technical cookies" do not require such consent, i.e. those used for the sole purpose of transmitting a communication over an electronic communications network, or to the extent strictly necessary to provide a service explicitly requested by the user. In other words, these are cookies that are essential for the functioning of the site or necessary to carry out activities requested by the user.
Among the technical cookies, which do not require express consent for their use, the Italian Guarantor for the protection of personal data (see Provision Identification of simplified methods for the information and the acquisition of consent for the use of cookies of the 8 May 2014, hereinafter only "Provision") also includes:
- "analytics cookies" where used directly by the site manager to collect information, in aggregate form, on the number of users and how they visit the site itself;
- navigation or session cookies that guarantee normal navigation and use of the website (allowing, for example, to make a purchase or authenticate to access restricted areas);
- functionality cookies, which allow the user to navigate according to a series of selected criteria (for example, the language, the products selected for purchase) in order to improve the service provided to the same.
For "profiling cookies", on the other hand, i.e. those aimed at creating profiles relating to the user and used for the purpose of sending advertising messages in line with the preferences expressed by the user when browsing the internet, prior consent is required from the user. 'user.
Which cookies do we use and for what purposes?

Without these cookies, the requested services cannot be provided, such as the shopping cart, log in and order management. These cookies are strictly necessary for the correct functioning of the site and their deactivation could compromise their usability by users.
- Functional cookies can last a session or are persistent and allow the site to recognize you on subsequent accesses, so that you do not have to re-enter your data at each connection. Furthermore, if you have added products to the cart and closed the session without completing the purchase and without deleting them, they allow you to review your cart (for a specific time) with the products chosen previously. Functional cookies are not essential for the functioning of the site but improve the ease and speed of use.
- Analytical cookies, which allow the site manager to understand how it is used by users. These cookies do not collect information on the user's identity or any personal data. The information is processed in an aggregate and anonymous form.
