Cookie Policy

What are cookies

Cookies are small text files that are saved on the User’s computer when they visit a website. Cookies are widely used by a large number of websites to optimise efficiency of the website, to improve browsing and to obtain information on the number and type of visitors.

The cookies inserted by the owner of the website are called “first-party cookies”. The cookies inserted by people other than the owner of the website are called “third-party cookies”. Third-party cookies allow specific functions to be provided on the website. Anyone setting third-party cookies will be able to recognise the user’s computer on access to the website and also when certain other websites are visited.

Why we use cookies

Cookies serve to collect information on visits to the website. This may include details of the IP addresses, the browser type and the screen resolution, and also a set of information on the user’s habits and preferences, such as the language used and the most frequently visited pages.

This information allows us to understand visitors’ interests and constantly improve the service offered. The information collected does not allow visitors to be identified, unless they decide to provide the personal data voluntarily by filling out the contact forms present on the website.

  • session cookies (which are not stored persistently on the user’s computer and disappear when the browser is closed) solely for transmission of the session identification information (random numbers generated by the server) needed for secure and efficient browsing of the website. The so-called session cookies used on this website avoid the use of other computerised techniques that potentially comprise user browsing confidentiality and also prevent the user’s identifying personal data from being acquired.
  • the cookies analytics used to collect information, in aggregate, on the number of users and on how they visit the website; cookies analytics also allow the collection and processing of the user’s browsing data, including the IP addresses or domain names of the computers they use when they connect to the website, the URI (Uniform Resource Identifier) addresses of the resources requested, the method used to submit the request to the server, the size of the file obtained in response, and other parameters on the user’s operating system and computer environment; the data is collected for the sole purpose of processing anonymous statistical information on use of the website and to check that it is functioning correctly; the browsing data is only used to identify the user if this is necessary to check for cyber crimes.
  • other types of cookies or third-party tools that could use them. Several of the services listed below collect statistics in aggregate form and might not require the user’s consent or could be managed directly by the Controller – depending on what is described – without the assistance of third parties. If services managed by third parties are present among the tools indicated below, they could – in addition to what is specified and also without the Controller’s knowledge – carry out tracking of the user. For detailed information on this, please consult the privacy policies of the services listed.
