"Similar technologies" include local storage, session storage, web beacons, pixels and similar identifiers that operate in a comparable manner.
3. Categories of cookies used
Italian and EU law distinguish between technical cookies (essential to operate the site) and profiling cookies (which track behaviour for marketing, analytics or similar purposes). Technical cookies do not require consent; profiling cookies do.
3.1 Technical cookies (no consent required)
This website may set the following technical cookies and similar technologies, all of which are strictly necessary for the site to function properly:
| Name / Purpose | Provider | Duration |
|---|---|---|

3.3 Profiling and marketing cookies
This website does not currently use any profiling, advertising, behavioural-targeting or analytics cookies (such as Google Analytics, Meta Pixel, LinkedIn Insight Tag, or similar). If such tools are introduced in future, this policy will be updated and prior consent will be obtained where required.
4. Your choices and how to manage cookies
You can control and manage cookies in several ways:
- Through your browser: all major browsers (Safari, Chrome, Firefox, Edge) allow you to view, manage and delete cookies. Refer to your browser's help documentation.
- Through opt-out tools: third-party providers may offer their own opt-out mechanisms — see the links in the table above.
Disabling technical cookies may impair the proper functioning of the site, including the security of subscriber-area access.
5. Changes to this policy
This Cookie Policy may be updated from time to time, particularly when new tools or services are introduced. Material changes will be reflected on this page with an updated "Last updated" date.
