## **2. Types of Cookies**

1. There are different categories of Cookies, with different characteristics and uses:

   2. **Analytical Cookies:** these are Cookies used to collect and analyse Site traffic and usage in an anonymous way. These Cookies do not identify the Visitor, but they allow us, for example, to detect whether the same Visitor returns to the Site at different times.

**ATTENTION: If You navigate on the Site from a Google Chrome browser and/or while logged into your Google account, further Google Cookies may be installed without your consent and without the possibility for us to prevent this. Similarly, this could happen by using browsers or by logging into accounts provided by other companies. In all these cases, the Processing of Personal Data is not carried out by us and we do not assume the status of Data Controller for such Processing. We do not have any control over such Cookies, nor shall any liability arising out of the installation of such Cookies on your devices be imputed to us.**

## **4. MANAGEMENT**

1. The main Cookie management tool we recommend is the Cookie banner we provide, which allows for Cookie management in compliance with the world's most stringent privacy and data protection legislation, such as the GDPR (including the guidelines of the French authority CNIL) and the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA). Through this tool you will be able to:
   1. accept the full installation of all Cookies;
   2. accept only those Cookies that are necessary for the operation of the Site, rejecting all others;
   3. or manage your preferences manually by grouping Cookies by purpose of use.
2. The Visitor can decide whether or not to accept Cookies by using the settings of his or her browser. In this case, the setting can be defined specifically for different websites and web applications. Furthermore, the best browsers allow different settings to be defined for different types of cookies:
   1. Firefox: [Cookie Management | Firefox Support](https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/clear-cookies-and-site-data-firefox)
   2. Internet Explorer: [Deleting and Managing Cookies in Internet Explorer](https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/delete-and-manage-cookies-168dab11-0753-043d-7c16-ede5947fc64d)
   3. Chrome: <https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/95647?hl=en->
   4. Opera: [Web preferences - Opera Help](http://help.opera.com/Windows/10.00/it/cookies.html)
   5. Safari per Mac: <https://support.apple.com/en-ca/guide/safari/sfri11471/mac>
   6. Safari per iOS: [How to delete history and cookies from Safari on iPhone, iPad or iPod touch](https://support.apple.com/en-us/105082)
3. The usability of the contents is also possible by completely disabling cookies, with the exception of 'session' cookies in the event that the Visitor wishes to authenticate himself, and disabling 'third-party' cookies does not affect the navigability of the Site in any way.
4. If you do not install the Cookies that are strictly necessary for the operation of the Site, you will not be able to proceed to browse the Site. These Cookies alone are by default ready to be installed on the device you are browsing from and do not, by law, require your express consent for installation.
5. We cannot guarantee the perfect functioning of the aforementioned tools, but undertakes to evaluate from time to time the most suitable tools for the purposes of compliance with the GDPR and applicable privacy and data protection regulations, possibly even replacing the tools currently in use with others that are more suitable or better functioning.
