Cookie policy

HOW MANY TYPES OF COOKIES ARE THERE?

There are two fundamental macro-categories, with different characteristics: technical cookies and third-party cookies. Technical cookies are generally necessary for the correct functioning of the website and to allow navigation; without them, it might not be possible to view pages correctly or to use some services. For example, a technical cookie is essential to keep the user logged in throughout a visit to a website, or to store language settings, display settings, and so on. Technical cookies can be further distinguished into:

• navigation or session cookies, which guarantee normal navigation and use of the website;
• functionality cookies, which allow the user to navigate based on a series of selected criteria (e.g., language, products selected for purchase) in order to improve the service provided to the user;
• analytics cookies, similar to technical cookies and used directly by the site manager to collect information, in aggregate form, on the number of users and how they visit the site.

Technical cookies can also be provided by third parties (so-called "third-party cookies"), and can correspond to all the types indicated above managed anonymously and in aggregate form, or in a form that allows the identification of internet users, even occasional ones. Finally, there are also profiling cookies whose task is to profile the user, and are used to send advertising messages in line with the preferences expressed by the user during their navigation.

 

WHAT COOKIES DOES THIS SITE USE?

This site uses technical cookies, direct or third-party, aimed at ensuring the correct functioning of the site, without which navigation itself would not be possible; analytics cookies are also used to collect information on the number of users and how they navigate the site. The cookies described above are all collected and analyzed anonymously and in aggregate form. Finally, the use of profiling cookies is excluded in every form.

THIRD-PARTY COOKIES?

This site uses "Google Analytics" third-party cookies, a statistical analysis service provided and managed by Google that allows anonymous analysis of how users visit the site. The information generated by the cookie about the user's use of the website (including the IP address) is transmitted to and stored on Google's servers.

If you prefer that Google Analytics does not use the collected data in any way, the configuration of each browser can be changed differently. It is described in the help menu of your browser, which will allow you to know how to change your choices regarding cookies.

Google Analytics cookies can also be rejected by following the procedure indicated by Google https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout. The site will remain fully usable even if you decide to deactivate the monitoring function. For a permanent opt-out, the browser must accept permanent cookies. If your browser does not accept permanent cookies, then it is not technically possible to register the opt-out. Please use your browser's features to deactivate tracking (see www.allaboutcookies.org for more information). To delete cookies from your smartphone/tablet's internet browser, you need to refer to the device's user manual.
