What are cookies?
Cookies are small portions of code that the sites visited by the user send to the browser, where they are stored and then retransmitted to the same sites during navigation or during the next visit by the same user.
While browsing a site, the user can also receive on his station cookies that are sent from different websites or web servers (so-called “third parties”), on which some elements may reside (such as, for example, images, maps, sounds, specific links to pages of other domains) present on the site that the same user is visiting.
In this way, for example, cookies allow and / or facilitate access to some Internet pages in order to improve the user’s navigation (i.e. they allow the storage of pages visited and other specific information, such as pages consulted more frequently, connection errors, etc.), or allow profiling activities. Therefore, for a facilitated and complete use of a website, it would be appropriate for the user to configure his browser in order to accepts the reception of these cookies.

Which kind of cookies does the website use?

Our website uses:
Technical cookies, which allow the performance of activities strictly related to the functioning of the site.

The technical cookies used by the Data Controller can be divided into the following subcategories:

Navigation or session cookies, through which you can save your browsing preferences and optimize the user’s browsing experience. These are fundamental cookies for browsing within the site using all its features, such as maintaining the session and accessing restricted areas. They are necessary, because without them it would be impossible to provide the requested services. These cookies do not collect any information used for commercial purposes.
The use of session cookies, which are not stored permanently on the user’s computer and disappear when the browser is closed, is strictly limited to the transmission of session identifiers (consisting of random numbers generated by the server). The session identifiers are necessary to allow the safe and efficient exploration of the web site. The session cookies used on this site avoid the use of other IT techniques that are potentially detrimental to the confidentiality of user navigation and do not allow the acquisition of the user’s personal identification data;

Analytics cookies, through which statistical information is acquired on how users navigate. They collect and analyze information on the use of the site by visitors (such as: pages visited, number of accesses, time spent on the site, etc.) in order to optimize site management.
This information is processed in an aggregate and anonymous form, and these cookies do not collect information that can identify the user in any way. These cookies do not require the prior consent of the user to be installed and used (see provision of 8 May 2014 of the Italian Data Protection Authority concerning: “The identification of the simplified procedures for the information and the acquisition of consent for the use of cookies”).

The website works optimally only if technical cookies are enabled. However, it is possible to decide not to allow the use of cookies on your computer by changing the settings of the browser used, as stated below. Is important to understand that if cookies are disabled, some features of the site may be disabled too.

Profiling cookies are persistent cookies used to identify (anonymously and not) the user’s preferences and improve his browsing experience.

Third-parties’ cookies (analytical and / or profiling), are cookies generated by organizations that are not part of the Site, but they are integrated into parts of the Site page. Think, for example, of Google’s “widgets” (e.g. Google Maps) or to “social plugins” (Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Google+, etc.).

What types of cookies or third-party tools could be used for statistical purposes?

The services contained in this section allow the Data Controller to monitor and analyze traffic data and are used to keep track of user behavior.
Google Analytics is an analysis service provided by Google Inc. (“Google”), a third-party society with respect to the Data Controller. Google uses the collected personal data in order to trace and examine the use of this online space, to compile reports and share them with other services developed by Google. Google might use the personal data to contextualized and personalized ads from its advertisement network. The integration of Google Analytics makes the Internet Protocol address (IP address) anonymous. (You can find illustration of the technical operation at the following address https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/2763052?hl=it).

In particular:

Personal data collected: cookies and usage data.
Place of treatment: USA – Privacy Policy.

The user can disable, in a selective way, the action of Google Analytics by installing the opt-out component provided by Google on your browser (by using the following link https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout).
