Cookie Policy

Below is the Cookie policy to be used as an extended disclosure in accordance with Articles 13 and 14 of Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (hereinafter "GDPR").

What are Cookies?

Cookies are pieces of information sent by a web server (e.g., the site) to the Internet browser of the user, automatically stored by the user on the computer and automatically sent back to the server each time the site is accessed. By default, almost all web browsers are set to automatically accept cookies. Typically, cookies can be installed:

  •         directly by the owner and/or manager of the website (so-called first-party cookies);
  •         by external parties outside the website visited by the user (so-called third-party cookies). Unless otherwise specified, it is recalled that these cookies fall under the direct and exclusive responsibility of the same operator. Further information on privacy and their use can be found directly on the websites of the respective operators.

This website may use, also in combination with each other the following types of cookies classified according to the indications of the Privacy Guarantor and the Opinions issued in the European context by the Working Group Art. 29 / European Data Protection Committee:

  •         Session: they are not stored persistently on the user's computer and are deleted when the browser is closed. They are strictly limited to the transmission of session identifications necessary to enable the safe and efficient exploration of the site while avoiding the use of other IT techniques potentially prejudicial to the privacy of users' browsing.
  •         Persistent: they remain stored on the computer's hard drive until they expire or are deleted by users. Through persistent cookies, users accessing the site are automatically recognized each time they visit. Users can set their computer's browser to accept/reject all cookies or to display a warning whenever a cookie is offered so that they can consider whether to accept it. Users can, however, change the default configuration and disable cookies (i.e., block them outright) by setting the highest level of protection.
  •         Technical: these are the cookies used to authenticate, to enjoy multimedia content or to allow the choice of navigation language. Since they are necessary for the easy navigation and correct display of the site, it is not necessary to acquire the user's consent for these markers. Also included in this case are cookies used to statistically analyze access/visits to the site, only if used exclusively for statistical purposes and through the collection of information in aggregate form.
  •         Non-technical: these are all cookies that are not essential for the proper use of the site. Their use on users' terminals is forbidden unless they have first been adequately informed and have given free, specific, informed and unequivocal consent in this regard. Based on the purposes they perform, these markers can in turn be grouped into:
    • Analytics. These are the cookies used to collect and analyze statistical information about access/visits to the website. In some cases, associated with other information such as credentials entered for access to restricted areas (such as e-mail address and password), they can be used to profile the user (personal habits, sites visited, content downloaded, types of interactions made, etc.).
    • Widgets. This category includes all those graphic components of a program's user interface, which is intended to facilitate the user's interaction with the program. For example, social network cookies (Facebook, Instagram, Twitter) are widgets.
    • Advertsing. This category includes cookies used to advertise within a site.
    • Web beacons. Code snippets that allow a website to transfer or collect information through the request of a graphic image fall into this category. Web sites may use them for a variety of purposes, such as analyzing Web site usage, monitoring and reporting activities on advertisements, and customizing advertisements and content.
