COOKIE POLICY
What are cookies?
According to General Measure of the Italian Data Protection Authority of 8th May 2014, “cookies” are defined as “small text strings that the sites visited by the user send his terminal, where they are stored before being re-transmitted to the same sites at the next visit by the same user “.

The “first party cookies” are set and transmitted by the website domain, which the user is visiting, identified by the domain name displayed in the address bar while the “third party cookies” are set by domains different from the one displayed in the address bar and third parties transmit them. For example, they can be advertising banners, images and videos that reside on servers other than the one that issues the page you requested.
Depending on their duration, cookies are divided into “session cookies” and “persistent cookies”. The “session cookies” are kept in memory exclusively for the period of navigation on the website and, therefore, they are deleted when the browser is closed.
