Cookies allow the web server to store information on the browser to be reused during the same visit to the site (session cookies) or later (persistent cookies). There are different types of cookies.

Cookies are not used for other purposes and are normally installed directly by the website owner or manager. They can be divided into navigation or session cookies, which guarantee the normal navigation and use of the website (allowing, for example, to make a purchase or authenticate to access restricted areas); analytics cookies, similar to technical cookies when used directly by the site manager to collect information, in aggregate form, on the number of users and how they visit the site; functionality cookies, which allow the user to browse according to a series of selected criteria (for example, the language) in order to improve the service provided.
Unlike what is provided for profiling cookies, the installation of technical cookies does not require the user’s prior consent. Disabling technical cookies may limit the ability to use the site and prevent you from fully benefiting from the features and services available on the site.
