Cookies policy

To improve your present and future experience of using this website, we use cookies.
A cookie is a small text file that a website saves on the computer or mobile device of the user who is browsing it. Thanks to cookies, the website remembers the actions and preferences expressed (for example, authentication to restricted areas, the selected language, or other display settings) so that the user does not have to re-enter them when returning to the website or browsing from one page to another. Cookies are also used to verify whether visits are made by new or returning visitors and to store certain information, anonymous and non-personal, relating to their browsing of the pages (entry links, exit links, navigation between pages, dwell time, etc.).
By using the website, the user accepts that the “first-party” and “third-party” cookies indicated in the “List of cookies used” below are installed on their device.
By disabling the saving of all or some cookies, the navigability of the website (or some of its sections) may be compromised or limited by the absence of functionality.

Types of cookies

Cookies differ according to their duration, the domain that installed them, and their function.

Duration

Session cookies
These are temporary files that are stored until the website is abandoned (or the browsing browser is closed).
Persistent cookies
These are files that are stored and maintained even after leaving the website and closing the browser. They are deleted only after the expiration date indicated in the cookie itself.

Domain

“First-party” cookies
These are files that are installed on the user’s device directly by the website being browsed.
“Third-party” cookies
These are files that are installed by external websites, through code integrated into the pages of the website being browsed. Examples of third-party cookies are those installed by social plugins (for content sharing) or analytics cookies for visits.

Function

Essential “technical” cookies
They are essential for the correct functioning of the website’s pages. Without these cookies, some functionalities could be compromised and access to content could be limited. They allow, for example, tracking the authentication performed by a user or a website administrator. Cookies of this type do not collect any personal information about the user.

Functional “technical” cookies
These are cookies used to store choices made by the user in order to improve their browsing (for example, the language, or pre-filling a form with a previously used name). This type of cookie may include personal information (for example, the username). Without these cookies, some functionalities and navigation between pages could be compromised.

Performance cookies
These are cookies used to understand: whether users are new or returning, how they use the website, how they move between pages, how long they stay on pages and on the website, and from which geographic area they arrived at the website.
The data do not identify the user as a person but are aggregated anonymously by the analytics tools. Deactivation does not compromise in any way the functionalities offered by the website.

Social widget cookies
Some widgets made available by social networks (for example, Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Google Maps, etc.) may use their own third-party cookies. Deactivation does not compromise the use of the website, except in the sections where widgets may be installed (for example, for embedding videos or maps) and in some cases the possibility of quick content sharing or the possibility of commenting on some areas of the website.
Advertising cookies

This website does NOT use cookies of this type. Advertising cookies are installed to show visitors website content related to their preferences. They may therefore be used to show advertising content targeted to the person’s interests. Cookies of this type work in collaboration with third-party websites and may track past browsing on pages present on different domains. Cookies of this type usually track the user’s IP address in addition to other information, some of which may be personal.

Google Analytics

Our pages use third-party performance cookies from Google Analytics (a service provided by Google, Inc.) to allow us to collect anonymously and examine visitor behavior during use of the website and to improve its usability and user experience.
Through the use of the Google Analytics panel, we are able to understand whether visits were made by new or returning visitors by checking how pages are browsed (entry links, exit links, movements between pages, dwell times, geographic origin, etc.).
The Google Analytics service has been set to use data anonymized in advance with the anonymizeIp function, so as to hide the last part of the visitor’s IP address.
For further information regarding Google Analytics, you can consult the websites:
https://www.google.it/policies/privacy/partners/
https://developers.google.com/analytics/devguides/collection/analyticsjs/cookie-usage

It is possible to disable the action of Google Analytics through the tools provided by Google. For information on this, consult the website:

Social network buttons and widgets

In order to allow the contents of a website to be shared on social networks by visitors to the website, it is possible to integrate into the pages the tools (widgets) made available by the social networks themselves.
These tools (usually blocks of code inserted into the pages of the host website) may collect third-party cookies installed by the social networks (for example, Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, etc.); the website does not share any information with such widgets. For further information regarding the cookies of the main social networks, you can visit the websites:
