We use cookies for different purposes.

The information collected with cookies generally relates to your device, such as IP address, login details, operating system and platform used, type or terminal, screen resolution, type of internet browser, time zone setting, country of origin, information about visits to the Website including the URL, length of visit, search terms typed on the Website, products viewed or placed in the shopping bag, page response times, download errors and information about page interaction (such as the number of clicks or browsing patterns).

Generally, a single information is not sufficient to identify each user personally, but it could be if it is read in combination with other information collected via the Website or a third party.

We can classify cookies according to how long they are stored on the user’s device, the party who installs and manages them, and, above all, the purposes for which they are installed.

1. Term

Based on how long cookies are stored, we can distinguish between the two following categories:

• Session cookies, which are the cookies installed when the Website is opened and which are deleted when the browser is closed, or when the Website is closed, or when the session expires. The information is thus stored temporarily and allows, for example, navigation to be maintained.
• Permanent cookies, which are the cookies that remain stored on your device even after having closed the browser for a defined period of time which is predetermined by us. These cookies allow, for example, your name and password to be saved, or your preferences to be remembered, so that you do not have to enter them again when opening the Website.

1. Who installs cookies

Cookies can be also classified based on the source they come from. In this context, we distinguish between two categories of cookies: 

• Proprietary (or “First-Party”) cookies, which are cookies that are created by the Website you are visiting, and which are associated with its domain name.
• Third-Party cookies, which are cookies that are created by our third-party suppliers but placed on the Website by us and are therefore associated with a different domain name from the Website where they are implemented. With respect to our third-party partners, they set cookies when you are logged onto their pages, or when you visit our Website, for example in the form of an advertising banner.  

These cookies are governed by the privacy policies of these third parties, which can be found on their respective websites.
