English translation:also making them available in/on a durable medium
Explanation:
The concept of "durable medium" also includes "soft" electronic forms. It should simply allow you to store the information in a way that is accessible for your future reference (e.g. email).
The concept is discussed in a European Commission communication here:
https://eur-lex.europa.eu/LexUriServ/LexUriServ.do?uri=COM:2...

Depending on the context, official EU usage sometimes prefers "on" to "in" (https://eur-lex.europa.eu/LexUriSer/LexUriServ.do?uri=OJ:C:2... where what's understood is that a document is saved/stored on a medium. But "in writing or in another durable medium" would be better.

Tutte queste informazioni devono essere fornite al cliente in tempo utile prima di investire e su "supporto duraturo oppure, se il cliente acconsente, su un sito internet.

Il tipico supporto duraturo è la carta ma, se il cliente accetta, si può usare qualsiasi altro supporto, anche informatico, idoneo a conservare le informazioni.
