We strictly comply with the Italian Executive Order on the information and consent required for the storage and access of information on end-user terminal devices (Cookiebekendtgørelsen), the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the US Privacy Framework.

Third-party integrations and payment processing
In order to enable standard website functionality and maintain operational efficiency, certain services are integrated into our infrastructure.
Specifically, our website integrates payment functions managed by our payment infrastructure partner, Stripe. Stripe uses necessary cookies and fraud detection identifiers to authenticate transactions, assess operational risk, prevent unauthorized credit card use, and ensure basic technical performance of the checkout gateway. These data processing activities occur directly within Stripe’s operational framework to maintain transaction integrity.
