This document contains information about the technologies that allow this Website to achieve the purposes described below. These technologies allow the Owner to collect and save information (for example through the use of Cookies) or to use resources (for example by running a script) on the User’s device when the latter interacts with this Website.
For the sake of simplicity, these technologies are briefly referred to in this document as “Tracking Tools”, unless there is reason to differentiate.
For example, although Cookies can be used in both website and mobile browsers, it would be inappropriate to speak of Cookies in the context of applications for mobile devices, since they are Tracking Tools that require the presence of a browser.

Some of the purposes for which Tracking Tools are installed may also require the User’s consent. If consent is given, such consent can be freely withdrawn at any time following the instructions provided in this document.
This Website uses Tracking Tools managed directly by the Owner (usually called “first party” Tracking Tools) and Tracking Tools that enable services provided by third parties (usually called “third party” Tracking Tools). Unless otherwise specified in this document, these third parties have access to the respective Tracking Tools.
Duration and expiration of Cookies and other similar Tracking Tools may vary depending on what is set by the Owner or by 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 listed 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 their respective third-party suppliers. (through the links made available) or by contacting the Data Controller.
