Cookie Policy

1. What are cookies

Cookies are small text files that websites send to the user's browser, where they are stored and then sent back to the same websites on subsequent visits.

Cookies allow the website to recognise the user's device and store certain information about preferences or actions taken during browsing.

2. Cookies used by this website

This website uses only technical cookies, strictly necessary for the proper functioning of the website and for the user to access its services.

These include, for example, session cookies that enable navigation between pages, storage of the selected language, and the proper functioning of contact forms. Such cookies do not require user consent under applicable law (Italian Data Protection Authority provision of 10 June 2021 and the ePrivacy Directive).

3. Third-party cookies

Some pages on this website (for example the Contact page) embed third-party content, such as interactive maps provided by Google Maps. When visiting these pages, the user's browser may receive cookies set directly by Google Inc.

For information on how Google processes data, please refer to Google's Privacy Policy at https://policies.google.com/privacy.

4. Analytics and profiling cookies

This website currently does not use analytics, profiling, or marketing tracking cookies. No cookie consent banner is therefore displayed, as no non-essential cookies are installed.

Users can manage cookie preferences directly through their browser settings, by disabling cookie acceptance or deleting cookies already stored.

Disabling technical cookies may affect the proper functioning of some website features. For specific instructions, please refer to your browser manufacturer's guide (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge, etc.).
