COOKIE POLICY
This website uses technical cookies to ensure proper functioning of its procedures and to improve the user experience of online applications. This document provides information on the use of cookies and similar technologies, how they are used on the site, and how to manage them.
Definitions
Cookies are small text files sent to the user’s device by the websites they visit, where they are stored and later retransmitted to the same sites during subsequent visits. Third-party cookies are set by a website different from the one the user is visiting. This happens because websites may contain elements (images, maps, sounds, specific links to pages on other domains, etc.) hosted on servers different from the visited site.
Types of Cookies
Technical Cookies
Technical cookies are used solely to “transmit a communication over an electronic communications network or to the extent strictly necessary for the provider of an information society service explicitly requested by the subscriber or user to provide that service” (Art. 122, paragraph 1, of the Code). They are not used for other purposes and are usually installed directly by the site owner or manager.
They include:
-
Navigation or session cookies – ensure normal website navigation and use.
-
Analytics cookies – considered technical if used directly by the site manager to collect aggregated information on user numbers and site usage.
-
Functionality cookies – allow navigation according to selected criteria to improve the service.
Prior consent for technical cookies is not required, but users must be informed according to Art. 13 of the Code.
Profiling Cookies
Profiling cookies create user profiles and are used to send advertising messages in line with user preferences. Due to their potential invasiveness, European and Italian laws require informed consent from the user. The site does not use profiling cookies.
Third-Party Cookies
Visiting this site may result in cookies from other organizations (“third parties”). Examples include social plugins for Facebook, Twitter, Google+, LinkedIn, or embedded multimedia content like YouTube and Flickr. These cookies are generated directly by these sites and integrated into the visited page. Information management by third parties is governed by their respective privacy policies.
