Why do we use cookies?
Cookies are used for several reasons. In some parts of our site cookies are essential and without them you would not be able, for example, to navigate the site correctly or browse the lists.

What is a cookie
A cookie is a simple text file which is stored on the user's computer or mobile device by the server of a website and which can be read or retrieved by the server itself. It contains some information and allows the website to remember, for example, user preferences.
Cookies can store a wide range of information, including personal information (such as your name or email address). However, this information can only be saved if enabled: websites cannot access information that has not been provided and cannot access other files on your computer. The default saving and sending of cookies is not visible to the user. However, you can change your browser settings so that you can choose whether to approve or reject cookie requests, automatically delete the cookies saved when you close your browser and the like.
What are navigation, session or temporary cookies?
They are used in order to record data useful for normal navigation of the website on the user's computer (allowing, for example, to remember the preferred size of the page in a list). These cookies can then be distinguished by type of persistence on the user's computer: those that are automatically deleted at the end of each navigation, are called session cookies. If, on the other hand, they have a longer life, they are referred to as permanent cookies. With them, websites store temporary information, such as items in the shopping cart.
What are functional or permanent cookies?
These cookies allow the website to remember the choices made by the user in order to optimize functionality. For example, functional cookies allow the website to remember a user's specific settings, such as country selection and, if set, permanent access status.
What are Analytical cookies?
These cookies allow you to collect data on the use of the website by the user, including the elements you click on while browsing, in order to improve the performance and design of the site itself. They could be shared with our third party analytics vendors. However, they are used exclusively for purposes related to our website.

It follows, also for third-party suppliers of cookies, the obligation to comply with the relevant legislation.
For this reason, we refer to the links on the web pages of third-party sites, where the user can find the forms for collecting consent to cookies and their related information.
