6. On what legal bases do we process the data collected through cookies and related technologies?
The installation of cookies and the use of tracking tools are based on different legal bases depending on the category of the tool and the applicable legislation. In general:

1. Technical cookies and strictly necessary tools: they are used without the user’s consent, as they are necessary to carry out the transmission of a communication over an electronic communications network or to provide an information society service expressly requested by the user. This category includes, for example, cookies necessary for the functioning of the site, session management, security, the storage of consent preferences and, where the conditions are met, certain analytics cookies configured so as to reduce their identifying power.

Where personal data is processed through cookies, the related processing is based on the legal bases provided for by the GDPR, such as, depending on the case, the user’s consent, the performance of a requested service, the fulfilment of legal obligations or the legitimate interest of the Data Controller, for example to ensure the security of the site and prevent abuses.
