Subject of information

Consequently, the purpose of this information notice is to explain to the user in a clear and precise manner the purposes and methods of their use.

Definition of ‘Cookies’

Cookies are text strings (small files) that the websites visited (‘first parties’) or different websites or web servers (‘third parties’) place and store in a terminal device available to the user (PC, tablet, smartphone, etc.), and then transmit them back to the same sites that sent them, during the same user's next visit.

Cookies used by this website and their purposes

The cookies used on this website are of the following types:

1. Technical cookies: allow the user to achieve optimal and fast navigation through the website and the efficient use of services and/or the various options it offers, allowing for example a purchase to be made or access to restricted areas to be authenticated. These cookies are necessary to improve the usability of the website and their use does not require the user's consent.
2. Anonymous statistical cookies: these are anonymous and aggregated analysis web tools, that collect information on how users use the site, how they got there, the number and duration of visits, etc. These cookies allow you to implement improvements to the website, which facilitate access by users and the collection of statistics. These cookies are similar to technical cookies and their use does not require the user's consent.
3. Profiling/marketing cookies: these are tools that make it possible to create a detailed ‘profile’ of the individual user, which is then used to send targeted advertising. In particular, when the user enters the website, information is collected, through the study of behaviour within the individual pages visited, on his or her habits, tastes, favourite products, etc. This then allows our company, and possibly third parties, to ‘catalogue’ the user and show/send him/her personalised advertising. These cookies can only be used with the explicit consent of the user, who can make his or her choices via the banner and/or via the link that can be reached from the footer of the website and that can also be found at the bottom of this extended information notice.

‘Third-party’ cookies

Browser settings

Please also note that the user can configure, freely and at any time, their privacy parameters in connection with the installation and use of all cookies, directly through their navigation program (browser) and following the instructions.

In particular, the user can set-up so-called "private browsing", thanks to which their navigation program interrupts the saving of historical data on sites visited, any passwords entered, cookies and other information about the pages visited.

Be aware that if you choose to disable all the cookies (including those of a technical nature), the quality and speed of services offered by this website could worsen drastically and you could lose access to some sections of the site.
