Cookie policy
This document informs users about the technologies that allow the website to achieve the purposes described below. These technologies allow the owner to access information and store it (using a cookie, for example) or to use resources (by running a script, for instance) on a user’s device when the user interacts with the website.
For the sake of simplicity, all these technologies are defined as “trackers” in this document, unless there is a reason to differentiate them.
For example, while cookies may be used both on internet and mobile browsers, it would be incorrect to refer to cookies in the context of mobile applications because they are browser-based trackers. That is why, in this document, the term “cookies” is only used when it specifically refers to this type of tracker.
Some of the purposes for which trackers are used may require the user’s consent. Once consent is given, it can be freely withdrawn at any time by following the instructions provided in this document.
The website uses trackers managed directly by the owner (so-called “first-party” trackers) and trackers that enable services provided by a third party (so-called “third-party” trackers). Unless otherwise stated in this document, third-party providers may access the trackers managed by themselves.
The validity and expiration periods of cookies and similar trackers may vary depending on the duration defined by the owner or the relevant provider. Some expire at the end of the user’s browsing session.
In addition to what is specified in the descriptions of each category below, users can find more precise and updated information regarding the duration of validity, as well as other useful details—such as the presence of other trackers—in the privacy policies of the respective third-party providers, accessible via the provided links, or by contacting the owner.
To find more information dedicated to California consumers and their privacy rights, users can read the privacy policy.

Users can personalize their advertising preferences at any time by accessing the advertising preferences panel from the cookie notification or using the corresponding link on the Site.
The website participates in the IAB Europe Transparency and Consent Framework and complies with its specific regulations and policies. The website uses Cookie Notice & Compliance for GDPR/CCPA as software to manage consent.
How to manage preferences and give or withdraw consent
There are different ways to manage preferences related to trackers and to give or withdraw consent, if applicable:
Users can manage their tracker preferences directly in the settings of their own device, for example by preventing the use or storage of trackers.
Furthermore, whenever the use of trackers is based on consent, users can give or withdraw that consent by setting their preferences in the cookie notification, or by updating their preferences accordingly using the appropriate consent preferences widget, if applicable.
It is also possible, through the browser or device functionalities, to delete previously stored trackers, including those used to remember the user’s initial consent.
Other trackers stored in the browser’s local memory can be cleared by deleting the browsing history.
As for third-party trackers, users can manage their preferences and withdraw consent by using the relevant opt-out link (if provided) or by following the instructions in the third party’s privacy policy or by contacting the third party.
