The processing of personal data through cookies is based, depending on the type of cookie, on:

Performance of a contract and/or legitimate interest: for cookies strictly necessary for the website to function and to provide the services you request (for example, remembering the contents of a shopping cart or keeping you logged in).

These cookies are essential and cannot be disabled through our tools, although you may block them in your browser (which may affect the site’s functioning).

Consent: for performance/analytics, functionality (when not strictly necessary), advertising, and targeting/profiling cookies.

These cookies are only used after your acceptance via the cookie banner or the cookie settings available on the website. You may withdraw your consent at any time, as described below.

These are cookies essential to:

Enable browsing of the website and use of its basic features;

Ensure the security and integrity of the site;

Enable the management of your cookie consent preferences.

Without these cookies, the website may not function properly and some services may not be available. For this reason, they are used automatically when you access the site and do not depend on your consent.

Examples of purposes:

Enabling the secure completion and submission of forms;

Preventing fraud and ensuring the security of the site.

These cookies collect information about how visitors use the website, for example:

Most visited pages;

Error messages or loading issues.

The data collected is aggregated and used for statistical purposes, to analyze site usage, improve performance and content, and detect technical issues. These cookies are only activated with your consent.

Tools we may use (by way of example): web analytics services (such as Google Analytics or similar services); other audience and behavior measurement services.

Wherever possible, we implement settings designed to reduce direct identification of users (for example, IP anonymization, where applicable).

These allow the website to:

Remember choices you make (for example, language, region);

Provide advanced and personalized features;

Save display preferences or account settings.

Where these cookies are not strictly necessary for the basic functioning of the site or for the provision of a service you have requested, they will only be used with your consent.

We may use these cookies to:

Show you ads that are more relevant to you and your interests;

Limit the number of times you see an ad;

Measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns;

Build browsing profiles to show you personalized content or ads, on our site or on third-party sites.

These cookies may be placed by us or by third parties (advertising networks, social media platforms), and may involve sharing data with those third parties.

These cookies will only be installed on your device with your explicit consent. You may refuse this type of cookie without affecting your access to the main content of the website (although you may then receive less relevant advertising).

Some cookies on our website are set by third-party services integrated into our pages, such as analytics tools, embedded videos, social media share buttons, payment services, chat or support tools.

These third parties may, in turn, use cookies for their own purposes (including advertising and analytics). We do not have full control over how these third parties use the data collected through their cookies.

We recommend that you review their respective privacy and cookie policies for more details, for example:

Wherever the use of third-party cookies is not strictly necessary, they will only be activated after your consent via our banner or cookie settings.

Strictly necessary cookies are activated automatically as they are essential to the site’s functioning.

All other cookies will only be placed on your device with your explicit consent, demonstrated by a clear action (for example, clicking “Accept” or enabling the desired categories in the settings).

Consent may be withdrawn at any time, without affecting the lawfulness of processing carried out prior to withdrawal.

Some of the third-party service providers that use cookies on our website may process data in countries outside the European Economic Area (EEA).

When this happens, we ensure that the transfer is made to countries or sectors recognized by the European Commission as offering an adequate level of data protection, or that appropriate safeguards are implemented, such as standard contractual clauses approved by the European Commission, where necessary supplemented by additional technical and organizational measures, so as to ensure a level of protection essentially equivalent to that of the EEA.

You can obtain more information about these transfers and safeguards in our Privacy Policy or by contacting us through the means indicated in the “Contact” section.
