9. Cookies
Cookies are small files sent by the websites visited by users and stored on the device used to access such websites. When users visit the same website again, the browser reads the cookies stored on the device and retransmits the information to the website that originally created them. Also our Website uses various types of cookies and other technologies for reading and storing information on the user’s device in order, for example, to perform statistical analyses, customise and facilitate the browsing experience of users and, with the prior consent of the user, offer you advertising based on the user’s interests. We do not use cookies that have the ability to start programs on devices or to send viruses to them.
Our Website uses technical cookies, for which the user’s consent is not required, which are necessary for the functioning of the Website, including provision of the services offered by the same. This category of cookies includes analytics cookies, i.e. session and functionality cookies used by the controller to, for example, collect information, in aggregate form, on the number of users and how they visit the website, to save the user’s browsing preferences, such as the language, or to recognise users returning to the website.
Our Website also uses its own and third-party profiling cookies, aimed at creating profiles related to the user and used to send and display advertising messages in line with the preferences expressed by the same when browsing. The use of profiling cookies requires the consent of the user.
The aforementioned cookies can be temporary (when they are automatically deleted at the end of the session), permanent (when they remain stored on the user’s hard disk, unless the user deletes them), first party (when they are set and managed directly by the site operator) and third party (when they are managed by a domain different from the one visited by the user).

10. Data security
The Company adopts security measures in order to safeguard the confidentiality of users’ personal data. Nevertheless, due to the nature of the Internet, continuous technological evolution and other factors beyond our control, the security of data transmission over the Internet cannot be fully guaranteed and, therefore, we cannot ensure or guarantee the security of the data and of the information that the user transmits to us and the user recognises and accepts that such transmission is at his/her own risk. Users are also recommend to take appropriate precautions when using the Website, such as keeping their login credentials strictly confidential and periodically changing them.

Users have the right to access, rectify or delete the data stored by the company that concerns them, the right to object to, or restrict, certain types of processing (including the right to revoke their consent to processing previously provided), as well as to receive personal data concerning them in a structured and commonly used format readable by an automatic device (data portability right). Finally, users have the right to file a complaint with the competent Supervisory Authority. Exercise of the above rights is at no cost to the user but, should we consider exercise of the privacy rights by the user manifestly unfounded or excessive, we may reserve the right to charge such user a reasonable contribution for expenses to process the request.
