Users can deactivate cookies at any time by changing the browser settings, but this may slow down or prevent access to certain parts of the website, because cookies are necessary for the use of the website and its services, including the purchase of any products. If they are deactivated, Ortopadova Srl cannot guarantee the storage and display of the products selected during the online purchasing process, nor the addition of one or more items to the shopping cart.

These cookies are used to store information, such as the time the current visit occurred, any previous visits to the website by the same user, and the website that referred the visitor to the website; Google does not use this information to send targeted advertising. In any case, browsers do not share first-party cookies between domains.
