With this Cookie Policy (hereinafter “Policy”), the company “EFMI S.A.” (hereinafter “Company”) provides the users and visitors of its website (hereinafter “users”) with information regarding the use of digital trackers (hereinafter “cookies”).
In particular, the user receives information on the definition of cookies, the types of cookies installed on their device, the data collected, the purpose, and the recipients to whom such data may be transferred.
Furthermore, the Policy informs users that they can configure or disable cookies, depending on the type of cookies and the browser used.
Definition of cookies
Cookies are small text files sent by a website’s server (web server) to the user’s device and stored when the user visits the site.
The purpose of cookies is to send information to the server whenever the user performs specific functions on the website, as, for example, happens when selecting another webpage within the website or selecting a specific product on a webpage.
However, this information can be stored on the website’s server (via the placement of digital trackers on the user’s device) only if the user approves it (by providing electronic consent).
An exception applies to information stored by necessary (essential) cookies, which are absolutely necessary for the operation of the website, for reasons of security and/or the user’s uninterrupted browsing of the website.
This information remains stored for a period of time proportionate to the duration of the cookie’s operation on the user’s browser [persistent or non-persistent (session) cookies], unless the user deletes them from their browser.
Depending on the purpose, either “first-party cookies” are placed (i.e., cookies installed by us), or “third-party cookies” are installed by others through our website; details are provided in the table below.
Cookies on the website
On the present website, use is made of digital tracker technology (cookies) and specifically of the following categories of cookies:
Necessary / essential cookies
The (technical) necessary cookies are used to support the essential functions of the website.
The storage of the said cookies is absolutely necessary because, without the storage of these specific cookies, the webpage cannot operate securely and uninterruptedly, resulting in the user not enjoying the level of security and usability they seek.
The specific cookies are stored on the user’s device and cannot be rejected for the reasons mentioned above.
Rejecting specific cookies would directly result in non-secure browsing and reduced website usability.

We place these cookies or third-party providers on our behalf.
Their installation is permitted only with the user’s consent.
Advertising cookies
(Behavioral) advertising cookies aim to provide content that matches the users and their interests more closely.
They collect data on user preferences for the purpose of sending targeted advertising or measuring the effectiveness of a specific advertising campaign.
These cookies are placed by us or third parties on our behalf and help us provide you with personalized and targeted information both during and after the users’ visit to the website.
Their installation is permitted only with your consent as a user.
