EU Directive on Privacy in Electronic Communications – Cookie Policy

What is a cookie?

A cookie is a small text file that a website stores on your computer or mobile device when you visit it. Cookies enable the website to remember your actions and preferences (such as language or login details) over a period of time, so you don’t have to re-enter them whenever you return to the site or browse between pages.

Most web browsers support cookies, but users can configure their browser settings to reject certain cookies or to delete them at any time.

Why do we use cookies?

COIPA Italia S.p.A. uses cookies to understand how visitors interact with our website and to improve your user experience. For example, cookies may remember your language preferences or previous selections, so you don’t need to repeat them on future visits. Additionally, we use cookies to analyze website traffic and tailor content to users’ interests.

What types of cookies do we use?

We use both first-party and third-party cookies:

• First-party cookies are placed directly by the COIPA Italia domain. They are typically used to remember user preferences and ensure core website functionality.

• Third-party cookies are set by external service providers (e.g., embedded video platforms or advertising partners). These cookies support additional features and marketing analytics.

Types of cookies we use include:

• Session cookies: Temporary cookies that store information during your browsing session and are deleted when you close your browser.

• Persistent cookies: Remain on your device after your session ends. These remember preferences and are used for analytics and advertising purposes.

Use of cookies for advertising

We may use cookies and technologies such as pixels, web beacons, and anonymous ad tags to:

• Deliver more relevant ads to you;

• Measure ad performance;

• Limit the number of times you see an ad;

• Understand user engagement with ads.

We do not build personal browsing profiles for third-party websites, but we may use aggregated data to show interest-based ads. We do not share your personal data with advertisers.

You can opt out of interest-based advertising by adjusting your cookie preferences or browser settings. Opting out does not stop ads from appearing but makes them less tailored to your interests.

How are third-party cookies used?

Some content or features (such as embedded YouTube videos) are provided by third parties. These third-party services may place cookies on your device, and we recommend reviewing their privacy and cookie policies for more information on how they manage your data.

Managing your cookie preferences

You can manage your cookie settings in the following ways:

• Through the cookie preferences tool available on our website;

• By adjusting your browser settings to block or delete cookies.

Please note that most browsers accept cookies by default. If you choose to reject cookies, some parts of our website may not function correctly.

By continuing to use our website without changing your settings, you consent to our use of cookies as described in this policy.
