    What are cookies

    Cookies are small text files that the websites visited by the user send and store on their device (computer, tablet, smartphone), to be later retransmitted to the same sites on the next visit. Cookies allow the site to remember the user's actions and preferences (such as login data, preferred language, font size, other display settings, etc.) so that they do not have to be indicated again when the user returns to visit the same site or browses its pages.

    Types of cookies used

    Founders.it uses various types of cookies, each with a specific function. Technical cookies are essential for the proper functioning of the site and to allow the user to navigate and use the features made available. Without these cookies the site could not function properly. Functionality cookies allow the site to remember the choices made by the user to provide a customised version of the service. Analytics cookies, both first and third party, are used to collect aggregate information on the number of visitors and how they navigate the site.

    Third-party cookies

    The Founders.it site uses some third-party services that may install cookies on the user's device.

For each third-party service, the user is invited to consult the specific privacy notice of the provider, accessible through the links on this page. Founders.it does not have direct access to the data collected through these services and is not responsible for the privacy policies of the individual providers.

    Cookie duration
