Cookie Policy
Definition of cookies
Cookies are small pieces of text (letters and/or numbers) that allow the web server to store information on the client (the browser) to be reused during the same visit to the site (session cookies) or later, even after several days (persistent cookies). Cookies are stored, according to the user’s preferences, by the individual browser on the specific device used (PC, Tablet, or Smartphone).
In this document, the term “cookies” will be used to refer to cookies and all similar technologies.
Types of cookies
Based on the characteristics and use of cookies, we can distinguish several categories:
Technical cookies
These are cookies usually sent directly by the site operator for purposes strictly related to the proper functioning of the site. This type of cookie does not constitute a tool suitable for affecting the user’s browsing privacy.
This category of cookies includes:
Browsing (or session) cookies
These cookies are necessary to ensure secure and efficient use of the website and its services, allowing, for example, authentication to reserved areas or completing a purchase. They are deleted at the end of the user’s browsing “session” (hence the name) when the browser is closed.
Functional cookies
These cookies, while not essential, enhance the functionality of the site as they allow the user to express persistent preferences regarding certain aspects of browsing (for example, selecting the language or saving favorite products in an e-commerce platform). Disabling them may impair the use of services accessible via login. The public part of the website remains generally usable.
Persistent cookies on this website are not used for promotional purposes or to track user activity.
Analytics (or statistical) cookies
These cookies are used to collect and analyze statistical information about access to or visits on the website. On this site, statistical cookies are not used to monitor or collect personally identifiable information or to track the user’s behavior. Disabling these cookies can be done without any loss of functionality.
Profiling cookies
These are permanent cookies used to identify (anonymously or otherwise) the user’s preferences and enhance their browsing experience. The website does not use this type of cookie.
Cookies may be further categorized as:
- “first-party” cookies when they are managed directly by the website owner and/or operator;
- “third-party” cookies when they are set and managed by third parties other than the website owner and/or operator. This can occur because the site may include elements such as images, maps, sounds, specific links, or code provided by third parties to integrate additional functionalities.
In light of this classification, it should be noted that the website exclusively uses technical cookies that are strictly necessary for its proper functioning. It does not use profiling cookies, which would otherwise require prior notification to the Data Protection Authority and the acquisition of the user’s free and informed consent.
Types of Cookies or Third-Party Tools That May Be Present on the Website
This website makes some services provided by third parties available to users, for which the collection and use of information by such third parties or the installation of cookies may occur.
The user can share the information and data provided to the website with the social networks to which they are registered, accepting their respective privacy policies. Depending on the case, this may result in the communication or dissemination of the data to third parties.
As for cookies installed by third parties, these fall under the direct and exclusive responsibility of the third-party operator, who must provide the user with their own detailed cookie policy and, where required, allow for their deactivation. Therefore, users are encouraged to review the privacy/cookie policies of such third parties, as listed below.
Interaction with Social Networks and External Platforms
These are parts of the page visited by the user that are generated directly by external websites and integrated into the page of the hosting site. The most common use of social plugins is to share content on social networks. The presence of these plugins involves the transmission of cookies to and from all sites managed by third parties. The management of information collected by “third parties” is governed by the relevant policies to which reference should be made.
Statistical Analysis Systems
