Cookies are used on our website to give users a better browsing service and experience.

What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files sent from the websites to the terminal of the party concerned (usually the browser), where they are stored before being referred back to the website upon the same user's next visit. A cookie cannot retrieve any other data from your hard drive, pass on computer viruses or capture email addresses. Each cookie is unique to the user's web browser.

What cookies do we use?

Technical session cookies

The cookies used on the site are used for computer technology authentication or to monitor sessions, and to store specific technical information regarding the users that access the website.

For maximum transparency, below we provide a number of technical cookies and specific cases of activity on the website:

Cookies implanted in the user/contracting party's terminal directly (that will not be used for other purposes) such as session cookies used for on-line booking on the website, authentication or customization cookies (for example, the choice of the browsing language); these cookies remain active only for the duration of the session.

Cookies used to statistically analyze accesses/site visits (the so-called "analytic" cookies) that are exclusively used for statistical purposes (not for profiling or marketing) and to collect aggregate information without the possibility of tracing back to the identification of the individual user. In these cases, since current legislation requires that, when using analytic cookies, the user is given clear and adequate instructions to easily oppose implementation of such (including any mechanisms to make the cookies anonymous), we give instructions on how to disabled installed cookies below. The duration of analytic technical cookies is 30 minutes.

“Third-party” cookies: Third-party cookies are code parts set by a website different than the website you are currently browsing.

This involves the transmission of cookies from third parties. Management of information collected from “third parties” is governed by the relative information notices to which we ask you to refer.
