1. What are cookies? .

 Cookies are small units of text strings that websites visited by the user may send to the user’s device (normally to the browser); they are then stored on the device and transmitted to the website again the next time the user visits it.

 Cookies must be enabled in order to be able to order products on the website. If the user chooses not to accept the cookies, you can still browse the website and use it for reference purposes. Cookies are enabled by default by most browsers, nevertheless a section with instructions on how to manage cookie settings for each browser can be found at the end of this page.

 It is important to point out that, while browsing the web, users may receive two different sorts of cookies:

 (i)       those of the website visited by the user (so-called “first party cookies”); and/or

 (ii)      those of other websites or web servers (so-called “third party cookies”).

 Cookies can also be classified into categories according to the purpose for which they are used:

 1. Technical cookies: these cookies provide improved browsing of the website by saving the users choices in relation to specific configurations;

 2. Profiling cookies: they are used to track the navigation activities of the user and send advertising and/or offer services which meet the preferences of the same ;

 3. Analysis cookies: these cookies can quantify the number of users, sections visited on the platform and how users interact with it to carry out statistical measurement and analysis on use, in order to implement improvements based on the analysis of data on how users use the platform or service.

 (b)       persistent cookies: these cookies instead of expiring when the web browser is closed as session cookies do, a persistent cookie expires at a specific date or after a specific length of time. Used solely to improve website browsing speed, as they memorise certain settings selected by the user (such as be recognized when you subsequently access the website, or if you have added items into your shopping bag and closed the session without completing the purchase). Functional cookies are not essential to the functioning of the website, but rather improve navigation quality and experience.
