This website uses cookies and similar technologies to ensure proper functioning and improve the user experience. This text provides detailed information on the use of these tools by the data controller and how the user can manage their operation.

WHAT IS A COOKIE

As illustrated by the Privacy Guarantor in the specific FAQ page, “… cookies are small text files that the sites visited by the user send to their terminal (usually the browser), where they are stored before being re-transmitted to the same sites at the next visit by the same user. While browsing a site, the user can also receive cookies from different sites or web servers on his terminal (so-called “third-party” cookies); this happens because on the visited website there may be elements such as, for example, images, maps, sounds, specific links to web pages of other domains that reside on servers other than the one on which the requested page is located. In other words, they are those cookies that are set by a website other than the one you are currently visiting “.

TYPES OF COOKIES

Essential cookies. These cookies are essential in order to allow you to move around the site and make full use of its features, such as accessing the various protected areas of the site. Without these cookies, some necessary services, such as filling out a form to send a report, cannot be used. By using our site, the user accepts that these cookies can be installed on their device.

Performance cookie. These cookies collect information on how users use a website, for example, which pages are most visited or if you receive error messages from web pages. These cookies do not collect information that identifies a visitor: all the information collected is aggregated and therefore anonymous. They are used only to improve the functioning of a website. By using our site, the user accepts that these cookies can be installed on their device.

Functionality cookies. These cookies allow the site to remember the choices made by the user (such as name, language or region of origin) and provide customized advanced features; they can also be used to remember changes made to text size, font and other parts of web pages that can be customized. They can also be used to provide specific services requested, such as watching a video or commenting on an article on a blog. The information collected by these types of cookies can be made anonymous and unable to monitor browsing activity on other websites. By using our site, the user accepts that these cookies can be installed on their device.

Profiling cookies. They are aimed at creating user profiles and are used in order to send advertising messages in line with the preferences expressed by the user in the context of surfing the net. Due to the particular invasiveness that such devices may have in the private sphere of users, European and Italian legislation provides that the user must be adequately informed about their use and thus express their explicit consent. This site does not use cookies of this type.

Third party cookies. By visiting a website you may receive cookies from both the visited site (“owners”) and from sites managed by other organizations (“third parties”). A notable example is the presence of “social plugins” for Facebook, Twitter, Google+: these are parts of the page visited generated directly by the aforementioned sites and integrated into the host site page. The most common use of social plugins is aimed at sharing content on social networks. The presence of these plugins involves the transmission of cookies to and from all sites managed by third parties. The management of the information collected by “third parties” is governed by the relevant information to which reference should be made. To ensure greater transparency and convenience, the web addresses of the various information and methods for managing cookies relating to social networks connected to this portal are shown below:
