TYPES OF COOKIES USED

TECHNICAL COOKIES

This type of cookies allows some sections of the Website to work correctly.  This Internet Website only uses technical cookies, that is those used only for the purposes of the “transmission of a communication over an electronic communications network, or as strictly necessary in order for the provider of an information society service explicitly requested by the subscriber or User to provide the service” (cf. section 122, paragraph 1, of the Code).

They are not used for any further purpose and are normally directly installed by the data controller or by the Website manager.

They may be split into surfing or session cookies, which ensure the normal surfing and use of the Website (allowing, for instance, to make a purchase or to authenticate to have access to restricted areas);

  • analytics cookies, assimilated to technical cookies if used directly by the Website manager to collect information, jointly, on the number of users and on how they visit the Website;
  • feature cookies, which allow the User to surf based on a series of selected criteria (for instance, language, selected products for the purchase) in order to improve the service supplied to the User.
