What are Cookies?

Cookies are data created by a server that are stored in text files on your computer's hard disk and allow this website to function, the use of a specific function explicitly requested by the user, or allow to improve the functioning of this site, such as cookies that make navigation faster or that show the contents of greatest interest to the user based on previous choices. Cookies can be permanent (so-called persistent cookies), but they can also have a limited duration (so-called session cookies). This site uses both persistent and session cookies. Session cookies are not permanently stored on your computer and disappear when you close your browser. Persistent cookies are used to personalize navigation based on the tool used by the user (computer, tablet, smartphone) as well as third-party cookies that are used to analyze website access (e.g. Google Analytics) and to allow users to share website content through social networks (FB) or email (Add This). These cookies are permanently stored on your computer and have a variable duration.

Types of Cookies

Italian legislation (art. 122 of Legislative Decree 196/03 "Code regarding the protection of personal data", hereinafter briefly "Code") has introduced into our legal system Community Directive 2009/136/CE which requires website managers who use cookies or other tracking technologies to inform the user about the types of any cookies used by the site.

The Provision of the Guarantor for the protection of personal data no. 229 of 8 May 2014, published in the Official Gazette no. 126 of 3 June 2014, categorized cookies into two macro-categories: "technical" cookies and "profiling" cookies.

Technical Cookies, normally installed by the owner or manager of the website, have the purpose of "carrying out the transmission of a communication over an electronic communication network, or to the extent strictly necessary for the provider of an information society service explicitly requested by the subscriber or user to provide such service" (cf. art. 122, paragraph 1, of the Privacy Code).

For the installation of Technical Cookies, the prior consent of users is not required.

Technical cookies are further divided into:

Navigation or session cookies, which guarantee normal navigation and use of the website, allowing, for example, to make a purchase or to authenticate to access restricted areas. These cookies are not permanently stored on the device used by the user and are automatically deactivated when the browser is closed. Their use is linked to the transmission of identifying data necessary to allow safe and efficient navigation on the pages. Session cookies do not in any way allow the acquisition of personal identifying data of the user.

Analytics cookies, used to collect information on the use of the site, anonymously and to obtain both a statistical analysis of the pages viewed and of the behaviors adopted by users. This anonymous analysis provides information and suggestions to improve the quality of the site and to make easily accessible the content that proves to be most sought after and interesting in the eyes of users. Analytics cookies can be sent both from the site and from third-party domains and do not in any way allow the acquisition of personal identifying data of the user. Analytics cookies, if installed by third parties (e.g. Google Analytics), even if they collect data anonymously, are assimilated to profiling cookies, as indicated by the Guarantor for the protection of personal data.

Functionality cookies: assimilated to technical cookies where used directly by the site manager to collect information, in aggregated form, on the number of users and how they visit the site itself. These cookies allow the user to navigate based on a series of selected criteria (for example, the language) in order to improve the service rendered to the user.

Profiling Cookies, have the purpose of creating user profiles and are used to send advertising messages in line with the preferences expressed by the user while browsing the web. These cookies are particularly invasive in the user's private sphere, for this reason, European and Italian legislation provides that the user must be adequately informed about their use, thus being able to express their consent. Article 122 of the Privacy Code refers to them where it provides that "the storage of information in the terminal equipment of a contractor or user or access to information already stored is permitted only on condition that the contractor or user has expressed their consent after being informed with the simplified procedures referred to in article 13 of the Privacy Code, paragraph 3" (art. 122, paragraph 1, of the Code).

In the same Provision, the Guarantor also categorized cookies according to the subject who acts as the data controller of the personal data collected by the cookie, distinguishing between "first-party" cookies and "third-party" cookies.

First-party cookies

These are cookies managed by the site owner. For these cookies, the obligation to provide information lies with the site owner. The site owner is also responsible for indicating the methods for any cookie blocking.

Third-party cookies

These are cookies managed by a third party other than the site owner. For these cookies, the obligation to provide information and to indicate the methods for any cookie blocking lies with the third party, while the site owner is obliged to include a link on the site to the third party's website where such elements are available.

In both types of cookies (first-party or third-party), the collection of consent, necessary if the cookie is a profiling cookie, takes place through a specific banner on the website's homepage.

Profiling cookies may be used by the Data Controller or the owner of the cookie itself to store the choices made by the Data Subject, to provide personalized or optimized functionalities, or to store their habits and preferences expressed during navigation. For example, profiling cookies can be used to offer the Data Subject online services, to send them advertising that takes into account their interests, or to prevent them from being offered services they have refused in the past.

The following section of this Cookie Policy details the list of all cookies used by this website.

The first group lists the so-called technical cookies whose use does not require user consent.
