Cookie Policy
This document contains information on the technologies that allow this Website to achieve the purposes described below. These technologies allow the Owner to collect and save 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 latter interacts with this Website.
For simplicity, in this document these technologies are briefly defined as “Tracking Tools”, unless there is reason to differentiate.
For example, although Cookies can be used in both web and mobile browsers, it would be inappropriate to speak of Cookies in the context of applications for mobile devices, since these are Trackers that require the presence of a browser. For this reason, within this document the term Cookie is used only to specifically indicate that particular type of Tracker.
Some of the purposes for which Tracking Tools are used may also require the User’s consent. If consent is given, it can be freely revoked at any time by following the instructions contained in this document.
This Website uses Trackers managed directly by the Owner (commonly called “first-party” Trackers) and Trackers that enable services provided by third parties (commonly called “third-party” Trackers). Unless otherwise specified herein, such third parties have access to their respective Trackers.
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 of them 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 can 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 suppliers (via the links provided) or by contacting the Owner.

Users can manage Tracker preferences directly through their device settings – for example, they can prevent the use or storage of Trackers.
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 information 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 Trackers.
Other Trackers present in the browser’s local memory can be removed by deleting the browsing history.
As regards third-party Tracking Tools, Users can manage preferences and revoke consent by visiting the relevant opt-out link (if available), using the tools described in the third party’s privacy policy or by contacting it directly.

However, note that Trackers allow this Website to provide a better experience and advanced features to Users (in line with the purposes outlined herein).
