Cookie Policy

This policy explains how our site uses cookies and similar technologies while you browse. These tools let the site work properly, save some preferences and understand how pages are viewed. You can manage your choices through the cookie banner and your browser settings.

What cookies are

Cookies are small text files saved on your device when you visit a website. They can hold technical identifiers, browsing preferences and information about the current session. They do not run programs and cannot on their own reach the documents stored on your device. Some are deleted when you close the browser, while others stay until they expire or you clear them manually.

Categories of cookies we use

Our site can use several categories of cookies, each with a different purpose. The main ones are set out below.

• Strictly necessary cookies, which support basic functions such as correct page display, session security and storing your consent preferences; without them some sections may not work properly, and they usually do not depend on prior consent
• Functional cookies, which keep choices such as language, device type or display settings to make the experience more consistent on later visits
• Analytics cookies, which collect data on pages visited, session length, browser type and traffic source to spot technical problems and improve page structure
• Advertising and profiling cookies, which measure campaign performance and show more relevant promotional content, activating only when your preferences allow it

Where possible, analytics data is handled in aggregate form and does not directly identify a single visitor. Declining advertising cookies does not usually block access to the main content.

Third-party technologies

Some functions may rely on technical services, statistical tools or external platforms that set their own cookies. Processing by these parties is governed by their own terms and notices. Our site selects the services needed for it to work but does not directly control every operating method used by independent providers. The categories actually active can change with the preferences you select.

Duration and storage

Session cookies stay active only during your visit and are generally removed when you close the browser. Persistent cookies remain stored for a period set by their function, which can range from a few hours to several months. Once expired they are deleted automatically or replaced on a later visit, unless you clear them earlier.

Managing your preferences

You can manage cookies through the tools on the site and through your browser settings. A few options are available to you.

• Accept, refuse or change non-essential categories through the tools provided on the site
• Delete or block cookies through your browser settings, with steps that depend on the program and device
• Keep in mind that blocking strictly necessary cookies can cause display errors, loss of saved preferences or limited access to some functions

Changes to this policy

This policy may be updated following technical, organisational or regulatory changes. The version published on this page replaces earlier ones from the moment it is updated. We suggest checking it now and then for any changes to the categories used, the purposes of processing or the ways available to manage consent.
