INFORMATION ABOUT COOKIES
1. WHAT ARE COOKIES?

2. WHAT TYPES OF COOKIES ARE THERE?
Cookies can be classified as follows, depending on the owner:
- First-party cookies: They are created, sent to your device and stored by Application you are using. They allow The Compagny to collect customer analytics data, remember language settings, and carry out other useful functions that help provide a good user experience.
- Third-party cookies: They are created and placed by third parties other than the owner of the Application you are using directly. They are not managed by The Compagny, but by the third party that processes the data obtained from the cookies.
Cookies can also be classified depending on the purpose of their placement. Main categories are:
- Strictly necessary cookies (also called “technical cookies”): they allow you to browse in the application, and to use the various options or services on it (e.g., control traffic, identify data or session, access to restricted access sections or content, etc.).
- Functional cookies: they help The Compagny to make the application usable by providing you some basic features and by remembering your preferences and choices of using The Compagny’s website (e.g., language, the region from where the service is accessed, etc.).

The aim is to display advertisements that are meaningful and attractive to you and therefore more useful to third party publishers and advertisers, as well as to make promotional and specific information available to you on the application.
