DETAILED INFORMATION ON THE USE OF COOKIES

This page describes how cookies are used by this website (defined as "Site"). You can find other useful information about your privacy and the Data Manager (defined as "Site Owner") on the Site's Privacy Policy page.

WHAT ARE COOKIES?

"Cookies" are small text files that a site creates in the directories used by a visitor's browser. Cookies collect information about the visitor's use of a given site.
Users who visit the site will see minimal amounts of information added to the devices (computers, tablets and smartphones) they use to navigate the site.

For example, cookies enable you to:

  • Analyze the use that the user makes of the services and content provided by the site, so that the Site Owner can optimize the browsing experience and services offered;
  • Display video content (e.g. YouTube);
  • View Google Maps maps;
  • View posts and shares on social networks;

WHERE ARE COOKIES STORED?

On the hard drive (or memory drive) of the device that the visitor uses to visit the site.

AS A VISITOR, CAN I DISABLE ONE OR MORE COOKIES?

Yes, you can, through the functions available in your browser (see below).

HOW CAN COOKIES BE CLASSIFIED?

Cookies can be classified based on the site that generates them, their duration and their intended purpose.

CLASSIFYING COOKIES BASED ON THE SITE THAT GENERATES THEM

  • First party cookies: are generated by the site you are visiting, and only that site can read this data.
  • Third party cookies: these are generated by other sites, outside of the one you are visiting. When you visit a page on a site, you may encounter content posted by external sites such as Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Vimeo, Flickr or others, and these sites may generate cookies. Our site has no control over them. Please check these sites and their privacy policies (see list below) if you wish to have more information on these cookies in addition to that available on our website.

CLASSIFYING COOKIES BASED ON DURATION

  • Temporary (or session) cookies: these do not have an expiration date, and are deleted as soon as the browsing session ends or the browser is closed.
  • Persistent cookies: these have an expiration date (indicated below for each individual cookie) and remain on the computer even when the browsing session ends or after the browser is closed. They can be read by the site that created them on subsequent visits to the same site.

CLASSIFYING COOKIES BASED ON PURPOSE

  • Technical cookies
  • Profiling cookies
  • Analytical cookies

In detail, if we combine the categories we have:

First-party technical cookies: This type of cookie enables the proper functioning of certain sections of the site. There are two sub-categories: temporary (or session) and persistent (see above) cookies. These cookies are necessary to display the site correctly and also concern the technical services offered. They are always used and sent unless visitors modify their browser settings (this may mean that users cannot take full advantage of the site and may render some of the site's services unusable).

Technical cookies for integrating third-party functions: This type of cookie integrates features developed by third parties within the pages of the site, such as icons and preferences expressed in social networks for the purpose of sharing site content or for the use of third-party software services (such as software to generate maps and other software offering additional services). These cookies are sent from third-party domains and partner sites that offer their functionality within site pages.

Third-party services analytical cookies: These cookies are used in order to collect information about site use by users for the purposes of marketing campaigns, such as pages visited, length of stay on the site, origin of traffic, geographic origin, age, gender, and interests. These cookies are sent from third-party domains outside the site and in accordance with current legislation can be assimilated to technical cookies "if tools that reduce identification ability and the third party does not cross-check the information collected with other data already available", or alternatively may be assimilated to profiling cookies.

Profiling cookies: These are the cookies necessary to create user profiles in order to send advertising in line with the preferences expressed by users within site pages.

TYPE OF COOKIES IN USE ON THIS SITE

This site uses only first- or third-party technical cookies and analytical cookies that adopt systems that reduce identification ability. In particular, the cookies used by Google Analytics' (see below) statistics service can be considered the same as technical cookies for two reasons:

  • They collect "aggregate" data which is not attributable to individual identified or identifiable users;
  • The IP of users' connecting device (computer, smartphone or tablet) is explicitly anonymized so as to be unrecognizable;

Therefore, according to current legislation, this Site is not required to ask for consent for the technical cookies necessary for the normal functioning of the site.

However, you may refuse to consent to the use of all cookies by one or more of the following methods:

  • Through specifically configurating the browser or computer programs used to navigate the site (see below);
  • By modifying third-party services settings;

Both of these solutions may prevent you from using or viewing parts of the site.

HOW TO CHECK AND CANCEL COOKIES

Most internet browsers are initially set up to accept cookies automatically. At any time, users can set up their own browser to accept all cookies, only some, or to reject them, disabling their use by sites. In addition, you can normally set your browser's preferences to be notified whenever a cookie is stored in your computer's memory.

At the end of each browsing session, users can delete the collected cookies from their hard drive.

If you want to delete cookies that are installed in your browser's cookies folder, remember that each browser has different procedures for managing settings.

FURTHER INFORMATION ON GOOGLE ANALYTICS COOKIES

These are third-party cookies, as they are the responsibility of Google, which provides the service. Google Analytics is a Google service providing statistics on site visits. It makes this data available to the site owner anonymously and as "aggregated" data in the sense that it is not possible to link the statistical data back to individuals who visited the site. As already mentioned, the Google Analytics cookies in use on this site are tools to reduce identification and the third party is not able to cross-check the information gathered with other data it already has. However, to block Analytics cookies, please see this page.
