1. What do we mean by "cookie"?

In short:

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer or mobile applications by websites that you visit. They are widely used in order to make websites work, and also to provide organizations some information on you and on your browsing activities.

In detail:

Cookies have several functions, such as allowing you to navigate efficiently on a website or a mobile application, remembering your choices and the goods and services you purchased. Thanks to cookies, we:

  • improve the knowledge we have of you and your interests;
  • offer you content specifically personalized for you (for example to remember the choice of language you have made on our site, or to show you advertisements that are tailored to your needs and interest).

When we talk about “cookies” we are also talking about technologies similar to cookies, such as scripts, pixels, fingerprinting, web beacons and redirects. Scripts (sometimes called tags) are programs that run in your browser or mobile application and perform various actions, such as sending information to our servers. 

Cookies can be implemented by us and also by third-party organizations.

2. What data do we collect when we place cookies on your browser and mobile device?

In short:

Cookies allow us to collect personal information relating to you, and to transmit to us technical information about the devices you use, the clicks you make, and the content you view. We combine this information with personal information that you have already provided us or that we have obtained from external sources (see our Privacy Policy).

3. Are cookies absolutely essential for the websites to function properly?

In short:

Yes and no. Some cookies are necessary for our site to function (“essential cookies”). However, for others, when required by applicable legislation, your consent is collected before the cookies are implemented on your terminal.
