COOKIE POLICY

For users of this site

The following information is made to the user in implementation of the provision of the Guarantor for the Protection of Personal Data of May 8, 2014 ’Identification of the simplified procedures for information and the acquisition of consent for the use of cookies“ and the subsequent Guidelines on cookies and other tracking tools, dated June 10, 2021 (issued by the aforementioned Guarantor).”.

Data Controller and Data Protection Officer (DPO). 

WHAT ARE COOKIES?

Cookies are small text strings that a website can send, while you are browsing, to your device (be it a pc, notebook, smartphone, tablet; they are usually stored directly on the browser used for browsing). The same website that sent them, then can read and record cookies that are on the same device to obtain various types of information. Which ones? For each type of cookie there is a well-defined role.

HOW MANY TYPES OF COOKIES ARE THERE?

There are three basic macrocategories, with different characteristics: technical cookies (which in turn can be divided into necessary or navigational cookies and functional cookies), analytical (or statistical) cookies, and profiling cookies.

Technical cookies are generally necessary for the website to function properly and to allow navigation; without them you may not be able to view pages properly or use certain services. For example, a technical cookie is essential to keep you logged in throughout your visit to a website, or to store language settings, display settings, and so on. Technical cookies can be further distinguished into:

• Navigation cookies, which ensure normal navigation and use of the website (allowing, for example, to make a purchase or authenticate to access restricted areas);
• Functionality cookies, which allow the user to navigate according to a set of selected criteria (e.g., language, products selected for purchase) in order to improve the service rendered to the user;

In addition, there are also the following categories of cookies:

• analytics cookies, which can be assimilated to technical cookies only where they are used directly by the operator of the site to collect information, in aggregate form, on the number of users and how they visit the site itself, as well as where the additional specific requirements required by the aforementioned Guidelines, cited in the introduction, are met;
• Profiling cookies are more sophisticated! These cookies are intended to profile the user and are used in order to send advertising messages in line with the preferences expressed by the user while browsing.

The cookies of Profiling and analytical ones, which are not assimilated to technical, may also be called or classified as non-technical.

Cookies can, again, be classified as:

• Session cookies, which are deleted immediately when the browsing browser is closed;
• Persistent cookies, which - unlike session cookies - remain within the browser for a specified period of time. They are used, for example, to recognize the device connecting to the site by facilitating authentication operations for the user;
• First-part cookies (first-part cookies) i.e., cookies generated and managed directly by the entity operating and/or owning the website on which the user is browsing;
• third-party cookies (third-part cookies), which are generated and managed by parties other than the operator of the website and/or web owner on which the user is browsing (also by virtue, of a contract between the website owner and the third party).Third-party cookies may also include the profiling cookies (or otherwise non-technical cookies in general) mentioned and described above (for such possible types of cookies, please refer to what has been said above, also with reference to the prior acquisition of free consent). With regard to third-party cookies, detailed and up-to-date information on their use and related deadlines can be found in the specific information pages of the third parties, which can possibly be accessed through appropriate links, affixed in the description of the individual cookies used and, in the case, below.
