The following policy, concerning the use of cookies on this website, is provided in implementation of the provision of the Italian Data Protection Authority (Garante per la protezione dei dati personali) dated May 8, 2014, "Simplified Arrangements to Provide Information and Obtain Consent Regarding Cookies," and in compliance with Article 13 of the Italian Privacy Code (Legislative Decree no. 196/2003).
What are Cookies
Cookies are small text files that are placed by the website onto the user's computer hard drive. The use of Cookies by this website or by the owners of third-party services used by this website, unless otherwise specified, aims to identify the User and record their preferences for purposes strictly related to providing the requested service.
On this website, the information generated by the use of cookies allows us to optimize the pages, thereby improving your browsing experience.
In general, cookies are a tool that allows the site to adapt to visitors, for example, in one of the following ways:
- by displaying important browsing settings
- by allowing the creation of an account on the website for e-commerce activities
- by remembering user preferences
- by improving the overall user browsing experience.
Types of Cookies
Technical Cookies
This type of cookie allows certain sections of the site to function properly and can be divided into two categories:
- session cookies: deleted every time the browser is closed
- persistent cookies: not deleted when the browser is closed, but remaining until a preset expiration date
Technical cookies are necessary to display the website correctly and to use the services offered.
Technical cookies have the sole purpose of ensuring the transmission of communications between the user and the site over the Internet, to the extent strictly necessary to guarantee the best possible quality of our service, including the correct display of the site.
Technical cookies managed by our website, for example, allow access to areas dedicated to registered users, site registration, and login.
Information collected by these cookies cannot be used for commercial purposes and cannot be disclosed to third parties.
Therefore, based on the above, technical cookies will always be used by this website and sent to the user's computer, unless the user changes their browser settings. Doing so will result in the loss of several site functionalities, often compromising the correct display of the web pages as well.
Analytics Cookies
Regulations treat them as technical cookies when used directly by the site operator to collect aggregated information about the number of users and how they visit the site. This Website will use this information for anonymous statistical analyses in order to improve site usage and make content more relevant and engaging for users. This type of cookie collects anonymous data on user activity and how users arrived at the site. Analytics cookies are sent directly by the site.
Third-Party Analytics Cookies
These cookies are used to collect information on how users interact with the site, such as: pages visited, time spent, traffic sources, geographic origin, etc., for statistical purposes. These cookies are sent from third-party domains external to the site. A typical example is Google Analytics cookies. They may collect user data in both anonymous and non-anonymous forms, depending on site settings and the service provided.
Specifically regarding Google Analytics cookies, they may be considered profiling cookies unless they collect user data anonymously. Google Analytics cookies can be anonymized via code modifications or disabled by the user via a browser add-on.
Third-Party Cookies
This type of cookie serves to integrate third-party features and services into the website. A typical example is "social plugins," which provide buttons and icons on the site to share content on social networks (Facebook, Twitter, Google+, LinkedIn, etc.) or to integrate software services provided by third parties (such as software to generate Google Maps and other additional services). These cookies are sent from third-party domains and partner sites offering their features across the pages of this Site.
The presence of these plugins and services entails the transmission of cookies to and from all third-party managed sites. The management of information collected by "third parties" is governed by their respective privacy policies, to which you are invited to refer. To ensure greater transparency and convenience, links to policies on third-party services and cookie management are provided at the bottom of this page.
Profiling Cookies
These are the most invasive to user privacy. The Italian Privacy Authority states the following:
They are used to "monitor and profile users while browsing, study their movements and web browsing or consumption habits (what they buy, what they read, etc.), also for the purpose of sending targeted and personalized advertising (so-called Behavioural Advertising).
For example: Have you ever visited a service website, used your webmail, or accessed your profile on a social network and found banner ads related to your latest web searches or recent online purchases?
This happens because those web spaces are designed to recognize your PC or other terminal used to connect to the web (smartphone, tablet), and potentially deliver promotional messages tailored to your searches and Internet usage."
This website does not use profiling cookies.
Types of cookies used on this site and methods to disable them
Profiling cookies: profiling cookies are strictly not used.
Technical cookies: technical cookies are used. Under current legislation, this site is not required to request consent for technical cookies, as they are necessary to provide the requested services. The user can prevent them by adjusting their browser settings. Doing so will result in the loss of several site functionalities, often compromising the correct display of web pages and the ability to authenticate for e-commerce activities.
Third-party analytics cookies: this website uses Google Analytics cookies, a web analysis service provided by Google, Inc. (“Google”). Google Analytics uses cookies to help the website analyze how users interact with the site.

Google may also transfer this information to third parties where required to do so by law, or where such third parties process the information on Google's behalf. Google will not associate your IP address with any other data held by Google.
