What is a cookie? Cookies are made up of informations stored by the browser when you visit a website using a PC, smartphone or tablet. Each cookie contains several pieces of data (e.g. the name of the server from which it originates, a numeric identifier, etc.). Cookies can remain in the system for the duration of a session (until the closing of the browser), or for long periods, and may contain a unique identifier.

What are they used for? Cookies are used for different purposes, depending on their type: some are strictly necessary for the correct function of the website (technical cookies), whereas others optimise performance in order to provide the Users with a better experience while they are visiting the website.

In addition, cookies allow website usage statistics to be obtained, such as analytics cookies; others are for the purpose of displaying advertisements (in some cases advertisements are targeted based on cookie profiling).

Consent: Consent from the Users is stored by Antigenia S.r.l., for the purpose of fulfilling its responsibilities, through a technical cookie that has a duration period of 12 months. The User is informed both by the brief privacy notice (displayed in a banner upon the first visit to the websites until permission is granted or denied, as explained in paragraph 5.3.3 “How to disable cookies?”) and by this privacy policy.

Furthermore, see paragraph 5.3.2 for links to the privacy policy of third parties, in addition to disabling third party cookies (if directly available through the same).
