4. STRICTLY NECESSARY COOKIES AND TOOLS
The platform uses cookies and other technical tools strictly necessary for the operation of the site, security, session management and the provision of services requested by the user.
In particular, they may be used to:
- manage the browsing session;
- maintain user authentication;
- protect requests and prevent unlawful or automated use;
- manage the cart and checkout procedure;
- store technical or language preferences;
- ensure the operation of the reserved area;
- ensure security, abuse prevention and service integrity;
- store, where necessary, cookie preferences;
- allow the correct completion of payment procedures requested by the user.
Such tools are used exclusively to the extent necessary to provide the requested service or to ensure the correct operation and security of the platform.
For tools strictly necessary for the operation or provision of a service explicitly requested by the user, prior consent is not required in the cases provided by law.
5. FUNCTIONALITY TOOLS
The platform may use tools intended to remember certain user preferences or to make the use of the service easier.
When such tools are not strictly necessary, they are managed according to the rules applicable to the relevant purpose and, where required, subject to prior consent.
6. ANALYTICAL TOOLS
Any tools intended for traffic measurement or statistics processing are configured and used in accordance with applicable regulations.
If the specific characteristics of the tool make user consent necessary, it is not activated before the relevant choice is made.
Where, on the other hand, any analytical tools are configured so as to fall within the cases comparable to technical tools under applicable regulations, they are used exclusively under the conditions and within the limits provided by current legislation.
7. PROFILING OR MARKETING TOOLS
Any tools used for profiling, personalised advertising or tracking of user activities for marketing purposes are activated only when permitted by applicable regulations and subject to prior consent, where required.
In the absence of consent, such tools are not activated.
8. EXTERNAL SERVICES
Some features of the platform may require interaction with external technical providers.
Such services may be used, for example, to:
- manage and complete online payments;
- protect the site from spam, bots, fraud and automated use;
- provide maps, geolocation and address verification;
- provide infrastructure, hosting and security services;
- manage technical communications necessary for order fulfilment;
- provide any embedded content or features.
Such services may carry out technical processing necessary for the provision of the requested function or use further tools according to their own purposes and conditions.
When the use of such services involves the installation or reading of tracking tools that are not strictly necessary, such tools are activated only in compliance with the preferences expressed by the user and, where required, subject to prior consent.
Information about the external providers that may be used, their purposes and retention periods may be made available through the preference management panel, the relevant technical table or through links to the notices of the respective providers.
9. CONSENT MANAGEMENT
When cookies or other tools for which consent is required are present on the platform, such tools are not activated before the user has expressed a valid choice, except in cases where the regulations allow different processing.
The user may express their preferences through the specific system made available on the site.
The user must be able, according to the applicable configuration, to:
- accept optional tools;
- refuse those that are not necessary;
- select the desired categories;
- subsequently modify or withdraw their preferences.
Refusing optional tools does not prevent access to the essential features of the site, unless a specific function requested by the user technically depends on a service that is not available without the relevant consent.
10. DURATION
The tools used by the platform may be session-based, and therefore cease at the end of the browsing session, or persistent for the period necessary for the specific purpose for which they are used.
The actual durations of cookies and other tracking tools, where applicable, are indicated in the preference management panel or in the relevant technical table.
Information relating to the preferences expressed by the user may be stored for the period necessary to document and comply with the choice made and may be updated or replaced in the event of a subsequent change of consent.
11. MANAGEMENT VIA BROWSER
The user may also delete or block cookies using the settings of their browser.
Blocking indispensable technical tools may prevent the correct operation of authentication, cart, checkout or other features of the platform.
12. DATA SUBJECT RIGHTS
For information on the exercise of the rights provided by the regulations on the protection of personal data, please refer to the Privacy Policy.
The data subject also retains the right to lodge a complaint with the Italian Data Protection Authority (Garante per la protezione dei dati personali) in the cases provided.
13. UPDATES
The Cookie Policy may be updated as a result of the introduction, removal or modification of the technologies used or due to regulatory, technical or organisational adjustments.
The updated version is published on this page with an indication of its effective date.
Updated version: 25 September 2026.
