This website uses cookies. In this statement we explain in detail which cookies we use and how these allow us to offer our users the best online experience possible.

By using our site, the user accepts the use of cookies as explained below.

What is a cookie?
A cookie is a brief text file sent by the website you have visited to your browser, either on your computer or mobile device. A cookie allows our website to receive feedback on your site activity, such as your default language and other settings. This allows us to offer a better experience during your visit and make successive visits to our site easier, increasing the utility of the website in your favor. Cookies play an important role on the Web. Without them, navigating the Web would be a more frustrating experience.

There are various types of cookies and ways of using them. Cookies can be distinguished by the function they play, their duration and by the entity that adds them to a website.

How are cookies used?
Our website uses the following types of cookies:

Technical / functional cookies
Some cookies are indispensable for the correct operation of our website since they allow the loading of the web page and the correct operation of all of the essential functional aspects of the website. Other technical cookies add functions and help or personalize the overall experience of your browsing activity on our website.

Analytics cookies (by third-parties)
These are cookies that allow us to monitor and analyze the behavior of all users of our sites. Through these cookies, we are able to monitor how navigation occurs within the website and we can create profiles of the types of users on our site in order to make improvements based on the analysis of this data. These cookies (offered by third parties) give us anonymous/aggregate data on site activity which means we cannot identify any single user.

In particular, Google Analytics, an analytics system offered by Google Inc., uses cookies saved on your computer to make it possible to analyze how you navigate through a website. The information generated by these cookies on the use and navigation of a site are sent to Google’s servers in the United States. Google uses this information to monitor and examine how each user goes in and around a website, creating reports on the activity on the website and to offer services tied to the activity of the website. Users who don’t want these types of cookies on their computer can actually opt-out from having them saved on their computers by installing the plug-in “Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on” offered by Google here: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout. To activate this add-on, which blocks your computer from sending any information about your visit to Google, you have to follow instructions on the page, then restart your browser.

Profiling cookies (by third-parties)
We use various providers on our website that can install cookies directly to make sure their services work correctly. If you wish to have more information on which ones are present and how to disable/uninstall them, keep reading and follow the links in this section.

In addition, by going to http://www.youronlinechoices.com/, you can find information about how behavioral advertising works and have the possibility of turning on or off specific companies among the list of providers listed who work with website providers to collect and use information to provide online behavioral advertising.

These cookies memorize the information based on browsing activity to deliver advertising that reflects these interests.

We also utilize Google Adwords tools and remarketing lists for ads in the Display network of Google Adwords. We use cookies installed by Google (separate ones for Google Analytics and Google Adwords) and other third-party cookies (including ones by DoubleClick) combined together to inform, optimize and publish ads based on previous visits to our website. This means that providers (such as Google) then publish our promotional material on other websites that the user visits across the Web.

Some of our cookies work to create a user profile while others offer anonymous statistical data on browsing activity on our website; this function can be disabled through your browser. These cookies (third-party advertising services) are used to publish personalized ads and content based on browsing activity on our site. Below you can find the privacy pages for each service and the opt-out option where it is possible to disable the use of third-party profiling cookies.
