WHAT ARE COOKIES?
Cookies are small text files containing a certain amount of information exchanged between a website and the user’s terminal (usually the browser). They are mainly used for the purpose of making websites work and operating more efficiently, as well as to provide information to the owners of the site itself. Cookies can be either session or persistent. Session cookies remain stored on the device for a short period of time and are deleted as soon as the user closes the browser. Their use is strictly limited to the transmission of session identifiers (consisting of random numbers generated by the server) necessary to enable the safe and efficient exploration of the site. Persistent cookies, on the other hand, remain stored on the user’s device until a pre-set expiry date. These cookies, which are not deleted directly when the browser is closed, allow us to remember the choices made by the user on our website and to collect information about the pages visited by the user, the frequency with which the website is visited, and to identify the user’s navigation path, in order to improve the experience on this website. Finally, session or persistent cookies can be first-party or third-party, depending on whether the entity that installs the cookies on the user’s terminal is the same operator of the site that the user is visiting (in which case they are referred to as first-party cookies) or a different entity (in which case they are referred to as third-party cookies).
LIST OF COOKIES
Our website uses proprietary and third-party cookies. We classify these cookies into the following categories:
- Necessary
Necessary cookies help make the website usable by enabling basic functions such as page navigation and access to secure areas. Without these cookies, the website cannot function properly.

They therefore improve the user experience by making the Site more personalized. The use of these cookies requires the user’s consent. - Statistics
Statistical cookies help website owners understand how visitors interact with the Website by collecting anonymous information. This information allows the structure, content, and navigation of the Website to be optimized, improving its performance. These cookies also require the user’s consent. - Marketing
Marketing cookies are used to track visitors across websites. The goal is to display relevant and engaging ads to individual users, making them more valuable to publishers and third-party advertisers. These cookies create a profile of the user based on their online activity in order to personalize the advertising displayed. Their use is subject to the user’s consent.
Below is a detailed list of the cookies we use on the website and the purposes for which we enable each cookie or tracking technology.

DATA PROCESSING METHODS AND STORAGE PERIODS
As highlighted in the introduction to this policy, Homnya collects and processes some of your personal data through cookies that it places directly on the Website (first-party cookies). Homnya acts as the data controller for this data, in accordance with the provisions of the Regulation. Homnya will process your data only with electronic tools, in a fully automated manner and without human intervention.
Some of Homnya’s employees and collaborators, whom we have appointed as data processors, may perform maintenance on the IT systems that host your data, without ever being able to access their actual content. Personal data may be stored on servers managed by third parties (e.g., IT system providers) or may be managed by entities specializing in online advertising, acting as external data processors on the basis of a specific written appointment by the Company. Homnya may transfer Data outside the European Union. To this end, in accordance with privacy legislation, the Company assesses the impact of data transfers and adopts, where applicable, the most appropriate safeguards (e.g., adequacy decisions or standard contractual clauses). For information on the transfer of Personal Data collected through third-party cookies, please refer to the privacy policies of each third party, available on their websites.
The personal data of users of the Website will be stored for the time strictly necessary to fulfill the primary purposes outlined in this policy, or in any case as necessary to protect the rights and interests of both users and Homnya.
