During the first visit on the website, if the user does not perform any of the actions described in the banner but, from the banner, accesses the extended information, the user can:
• deny consent to cookie installation by clicking on the appropriate link in the following tables at the bottom of the description of each cookie (called "Opt-Out")

- regarding the purpose of each cookie: some cookies allow the website that installed them to remember, for example, the preferences expressed by the user while browsing, making a purchase or performing authentications to access restricted areas (so-called “technical cookies”)
Other cookies allow the site that installed them to monitor the user’s browsing activities also for the purpose of sending adverts and / or offer services in line with the preferences expressed by the user while browsing the web (so called “profiling cookies”). Only profiling cookies require the user's prior consent for their use..

Technical cookies used by Sites can be divided into the following subcategories:
• “user input" cookie: session cookie used to keep track of data provided by the user when completing relevant online forms (for example, forms used during a purchase procedure to enter the shipping or billing address) or, as in the case of a shopping cart, to remember articles selected and placed in the cart by the user when clicking on the relevant button
