2. What cookies are
Cookies are small text files that websites visited by the user send to the user’s device, where they are stored and then sent back to the same websites during subsequent visits.
Cookies may perform different functions, such as enabling the correct operation of the website, improving the browsing experience, remembering user preferences, collecting statistical information or, where applicable and subject to consent, enabling profiling or marketing activities.
3. Types of cookies used
The website may use the following categories of cookies.
Strictly necessary technical cookies
Technical cookies are necessary to allow the website to function correctly and to enable users to browse and use its essential features.
This category includes, by way of example, cookies used to ensure browsing security, manage user sessions, store cookie consent preferences and allow pages to be displayed correctly.
These cookies do not require the user’s prior consent, as they are necessary for the operation of the website or to provide a service requested by the user.
Functional cookies
Functional cookies allow the website to remember certain choices made by the user, such as the browsing language or other display preferences.
These cookies help improve the browsing experience and may be necessary to ensure the correct functioning of certain sections of the website.
Analytical cookies
Analytical cookies are used to collect statistical information on website usage, such as the number of visitors, the most visited pages, time spent on the website and how users interact with the content.
The website may use analytics tools, including tools provided by third parties, such as Google Analytics. Where such tools are configured in a way that reduces the identifying power of cookies and does not allow the provider to combine the information collected with other data, they may be treated as technical cookies within the limits provided by applicable law.
In all other cases, third-party analytical cookies are installed only with the user’s prior consent.
Profiling and marketing cookies
Profiling and marketing cookies are used to create profiles relating to the user and to deliver content or advertising messages consistent with the preferences expressed during browsing.
As of the date of this Cookie Policy, the website does not use its own profiling cookies. If profiling or marketing tools are activated in the future, they will be installed only with the user’s prior consent and this Cookie Policy will be updated accordingly.
Third-party cookies
Some website features may depend on services provided by third parties. These services may install cookies or use tracking tools according to their own policies.
This category may include, by way of example, statistical tools, maps, embedded content, videos, social services, anti-spam systems or security tools.
The Data Controller does not directly control cookies installed by third parties. Users are therefore invited to consult the respective privacy and cookie policies of the providers involved.

5. Legal basis of processing
For strictly necessary technical cookies, the legal basis of processing is the legitimate interest of the Data Controller in ensuring the proper functioning of the website and browsing security, as well as the need to provide a service requested by the user.
For non-anonymized analytical cookies, profiling cookies, marketing cookies or other non-technical tracking tools, the legal basis is the user’s consent.
