Cookie Policy

This document contains information about the technologies that enable this Application to achieve the purposes described below. These technologies allow the Data Controller to collect and store information (for example, through the use of Cookies) or to use resources (for example, by running a script) on the User’s device when the User interacts with this Application.

For simplicity, these technologies are briefly referred to in this document as “Tracking Tools”, unless there is reason to differentiate.

For instance, although cookies can be used in both web and mobile browsers, it would be inappropriate to talk about cookies in the context of mobile applications since these are tracking tools that require the presence of a browser. For this reason, within this document, the term Cookie is only used to refer specifically to that particular type of Tracking Tool.

Some of the purposes for which Tracking Tools are used may also require the User’s consent. If consent is given, it can be revoked freely at any time by following the instructions in this document.

This Application uses Tracking Tools managed directly by the Controller (commonly called “first-party” Tracking Tools) and Tracking Tools that enable services provided by third parties (commonly called “third-party” Tracking Tools). Unless otherwise specified in this document, these third parties have access to the respective Tracking Tools.

Duration and expiry of Cookies and other similar Tracking Tools may vary depending on what is set by the Owner or by each third-party provider. Some expire at the end of the User’s browsing session.

In addition to what is specified in the description of each of the categories below, Users may obtain more detailed and updated information on the duration, as well as any other relevant information – such as the presence of other Tracking Tools – in the privacy policies of the respective third-party providers (through the links provided) or by contacting the Controller.

How to manage preferences and give or revoke consent

There are various ways to manage preferences related to Tracking Tools and to give or withdraw consent, where necessary:

Users can manage preferences related to Tracking Tools directly through their device settings – for example, they can prevent the use or storage of Tracking Tools.

In addition, whenever the use of Tracking Tools depends on consent, the User can give or withdraw this consent by setting their preferences in the cookie policy or by updating these preferences via the tracking settings widget, if present.

Thanks to specific browser or device functions, it is also possible to remove previously saved Tracking Tools.

Other Tracking Tools present in the browser’s local memory can be removed by deleting the browsing history.

With regard to third-party Tracking Tools, Users may manage their preferences and revoke their consent by visiting the relevant opt-out link (if available), using the tools described in the third-party’s privacy policy or contacting the third-party directly.
