For more information on the processing performed by individual providers, any further purposes, retention periods, and how to exercise one’s rights, the user may consult the respective privacy and cookie policies via the links made available in the cookie management panel and/or on the Site.
9. Consent management
Upon first access to the Site, where required by applicable law, the user will see a banner through which they can accept all cookies and optional tracking tools, refuse non-necessary cookies and tracking tools, or customize their preferences by selecting the desired categories.
Before expressing consent, cookies or tracking tools for marketing, profiling, or analysis purposes that are not strictly necessary are not activated, where prior consent is required.
Mere continued browsing, scrolling the page, or closing the banner without a positive expression of intent does not constitute consent to the use of cookies and optional tracking tools.
The choice made by the user is recorded to allow the Site to respect the expressed preferences. The user may change or revoke consent at any time via the “Cookie Preferences” link available on the Site. The revocation of consent does not affect the lawfulness of the processing carried out before the revocation.
10. List of cookies and duration
Cookies can be session cookies, when they are deleted upon closing the browser, or persistent, when they remain stored for a specific period of time.
The duration varies depending on the cookie, its purpose, the technical configuration adopted, and the settings established by the relevant provider.
The updated list of cookies and other tracking tools actually used on the Site, with an indication, where available, of the cookie name or identifier, provider, category, purpose, and duration, can be consulted via the “Cookie Preferences” panel available on the Site.
Since third-party services may modify their technical tools and related retention periods over time, the consent management panel serves as the up-to-date reference regarding the tools actually detected and used on the Site.
11. Transfer of data to third countries
Some of the providers used by the Site are part of international corporate groups and may process personal data even outside the European Economic Area.
Where applicable, such transfers are carried out in compliance with Articles 44 et seq. of the GDPR and based on one of the tools provided for by the legislation, including adequacy decisions of the European Commission, the EU-US Data Privacy Framework where applicable, Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the European Commission, or other safeguards provided by applicable law.
For more detailed information on transfers made by individual providers, please refer to their respective privacy policies.
12. How to modify or revoke consent
The user may change their preferences at any time using the “Cookie Preferences” link present on the Site.
