What cookies and storage are
Cookies are small text files that a website saves in your browser. The site may also use other local storage tools, such as local storage, which work in a similar way. On this page we call them together "cookies and storage". The rules that apply are those of article 122 of the Italian Privacy Code (Legislative Decree 196/2003), which implements the ePrivacy directive, and the Italian Data Protection Authority's guidelines of 10 June 2021.
What we use today
Technical cookies and storage
They make the site work and remember your choices: the cart, your favourite products, your answer to the banner and the colour theme. By law they do not require your consent, but we inform you here. Without them the shop cannot work properly.
Payment providers' cookies
When you reach the checkout and pay, Stripe and PayPal may set their own technical and anti-fraud cookies to process the payment securely and recognise suspicious transactions. They are managed directly by these providers, with durations and names that may change: for details see their notices (Stripe and PayPal).
Profiling cookies
We do not use any and we do not show personalised advertising.

This data stays on your device: we do not use it to follow you on other sites.
Measurement cookies, currently not active
In the future we may use visit measurement tools to understand which pages work best and improve the site. Today they are not active and no data of this kind is collected.
If we activate them, we will follow these rules: they will start only after your explicit consent through the banner, we will update this page with the name, provider, purpose and duration of each one, and you will be able to withdraw your consent at any time as easily as you gave it.
The banner already offers the choice between "Necessary only" and "Accept all". Until we activate measurement tools, the choice does not change how the site works.
How to change or withdraw your preferences
You can reopen the banner at any time and change your choice. You will also find it in the footer, under "Cookie preferences".
You can also delete or block cookies and storage from your browser settings. If you do, the cart and favourites saved on the device are deleted and some functions, such as payment, may not work. Guides for the main browsers are available on their support sites.
