1. What do we mean by "cookie"?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer or mobile applications by websites that you visit. They are widely used in order to make websites work, and also to provide organizations some information on you and on your browsing activities.
Cookies have several functions, such as allowing you to navigate efficiently on a website or a mobile application, remembering your choices and the goods and services you purchased. Thanks to cookies, we:
improve the knowledge we have of you and your interests;

When we talk about "cookies" we are also talking about technologies similar to cookies, such as scripts, web beacons, pixels, fingerprinting and redirects. Scripts (sometimes called tags) are programs that run in your browser or mobile application and perform various actions, such as sending information to our servers.
Cookies can be implemented by us and also by third-party organizations.

The use of social networks to interact with our sites and applications (in particular the “like" buttons on Facebook, Twitter) allows you to share content of our website on social media platforms.
For example, if you are connected to the social network Facebook and you visit a page of our site, Facebook is likely to collect this information. Likewise, if you consult an article on our website and click on the "tweet" button, Twitter will collect this information. We therefore invite you to consult the privacy policies of any such social networks to learn about the collections and processing they carry out on your data.
5. Do we use third-parties’ cookies?
Yes. Some cookies are set by our service providers who help us achieve our goals (for example Google Tag Manager sets a cookie to help us measure our audience).
