Cookie Policy

Last Updated March 10, 2024.

This document informs Users about the technologies that help this Website achieve the objectives described below. Such technologies enable the Owner to access and store information (for example, using Cookies) or to use resources (for example, by running a script) on the User's device when they interact with the Website.

For simplicity, in this document, all such technologies are referred to as "trackers" unless there are reasons to differentiate.

For instance, while Cookies can be used in both web browsers and mobile browsers, it would be inaccurate to talk about Cookies in the context of mobile applications since they constitute browser-based Trackers. For this reason, in this document, the term "Cookies" is used only in those cases where it is meant to denote a specific type of trackers.

Some of the purposes for which Trackers are used may also require the User's consent. If consent is given, it can be freely withdrawn at any time following the instructions provided in this document.

This Website uses Trackers managed directly by the Owner (so-called "first-party" Trackers) and Trackers that enable services provided by third parties (so-called "third-party" Trackers). Unless otherwise specified within this document, third-party providers may access the trackers they manage.

The lifespan and expiration of Cookies and other similar trackers can vary depending on the lifespan set by the Owner or the relevant provider. Some of them expire at the end of the User's website session.

In addition to what is specified in the description of each category below, Users can find more precise and updated information about the lifespans, as well as any other necessary information - for example, about the presence of other trackers - in the privacy policies of the relevant third-party providers or by contacting the Owner.

For more information dedicated to California consumers and their privacy rights, Users can refer to the Privacy Policy.
