Cookie Policy
This document contains information on the technologies that allow this Application to achieve the purposes described below. These technologies allow the Owner to collect and save information (for example, through the use of Cookies) or use resources (for example, by running a script) on the User’s device when the User interacts with this Application.
For the sake of simplicity, in this document these technologies are briefly referred to as “Tracking Tools”, unless there is reason to differentiate.
For example, although Cookies can be used in both web and mobile browsers, it would be inappropriate to talk about Cookies in the context of applications for mobile devices, since these are Tracking Tools that require the presence of a browser. For this reason, within this document the term Cookie is only used to refer specifically to that particular type of Tracking Tool.
Some of the purposes for which Tracking Tools are used may also require the User’s consent. If consent is given, it may be freely revoked at any time by following the instructions contained in this document.
This Application uses Tracking Tools managed directly by the Owner (commonly called “first party” Tracking Tools) and Tracking Tools that enable services provided by third parties (commonly called “third party” Tracking Tools). Unless otherwise specified within this document, these third parties have access to their respective Tracking Tools.
The duration and expiry of Cookies and other similar Tracking Tools may vary depending on the settings made by the Controller or each third party provider. Some of them expire at the end of the User’s browsing session.
In addition to what is specified in the description of each of the categories below, Users can obtain more detailed and updated information on the duration, as well as any other relevant information – such as the presence of other Tracking Tools – in the privacy policies of the respective third party providers (through the links made available) or by contacting the Controller.

Managing preferences and providing or withdrawing consent
There are a number of ways to manage your Tracking Tool preferences and to provide or withdraw consent where necessary:
Users can manage their Tracking Tool preferences directly through their devices’ settings – for example, they can prevent the use or storage of Tracking Tools.
