This notice on the use of cookies is provided to the website users pursuant to the measures of the Garante per la protezione dei dati personali (Italian Data Protection Authority) issued on May 8, 2014, "Simplified Arrangements to Provide Information and Obtain Consent Regarding Cookies", updated with the indications of the guidelines of the same Authority, “Guidelines on the use of cookies and other tracking tools – 10 June 2021”, and in compliance with Art. 13 of the Regulation (EU) April, 27th 2016/679 (GDPR).
This website uses technical cookies, first and third-party, in order to to allow proper navigation and to allow the user to navigate according to a series of criteria in order to improve the service provided. Furthermore, cookies are used to collect information, in aggregate form, on the number of users and how they visit the site with the aim of continuously improving the service.
This page provides information about the use of cookies and related technologies, how they are used and how to manage them.
Cookie Management
Cookies are small text files that are sent to the user's terminal equipment (usually to the user's browser) by visited websites; they are stored in the user's terminal equipment to be then re-transmitted to the websites on the user's subsequent visits to those websites. When browsing a website, a user may happen to receive cookies from other websites or web servers, which are the so-called "third party" cookies. This happens because the visited website may contain items such as images, maps, sound files, links to individual web pages on different domains that are located on servers other than the one where the page being visited is stored.
Cookies are present as a rule in substantial numbers in each user's browser and sometimes they remain stored for long. They are used for several purposes ranging from IT authentication to the monitoring of browsing sessions up to the storage of specific information on user configurations in accessing a given server, and so on.
There are two main categories: "technical" cookies and "profiling" cookies.
a. Technical Cookies
Technical cookies are those used exclusively with a view to "carrying out the transmission of a communication on an electronic communications network, or insofar as this is strictly necessary to the provider of an information society service that has been explicitly requested by the contracting party or user to provide the said service." (see Article 122.1 of the Italian Privacy Code).
They are not used for further purposes and are usually installed directly by the data controller or the website manager. They can be further grouped into:
- browsing or session cookies, which allow users to navigate and use a website (e.g. to purchase items online or authenticate themselves to access certain sections);
- functional cookies, which allow users to navigate according to certain pre-determined criteria (such as a selected language) so as to improve the quality of service provided;
- analytics cookies allow you to measure the performance of the web application to improve the browsing experience for users. In order to be cosidered equivalent to technical cookies, all information collected by these cookies must be aggregated and anonymized.
Users' prior consent is not necessary to install these cookies, but information as stated in article 13 of GDPR has to be provided.
This website uses this type of cookies.
b.Profiling Cookies
Used to lead back to specific, identified or identifiable subjects, specific actions or behavioral patterns recurring in the use of the features offered in order to group the user within user profile clusters to modulate the provision of the service far beyond what is strictly necessary to provide the service, as well as send targeted advertising messages.
The use of these cookies require the explicit consent of the user.
This website does not use this type of cookies.
Third party technical cookies
These cookies are set to access other services used within the web application for statistical purposes or for the integration of content from other websites.
This website does not use this type of cookies.
Cookie Expiration time
Cookies used by this website cease to operate at the end of the session or after a period of inactivity of the visitor, set by the server.
