Cookie Policy
As indicated in the banner on the home page, this site uses Cookies.
What are Cookies?
Cookies are small text strings that the sites you visit send to your terminal (usually to your browser), where they are stored and then retransmitted to the same sites the next time you visit. While browsing a site, the user may also receive cookies on his terminal device that are sent by different sites or web servers (so-called ‘third-party cookies’), on which some elements (such as, for example, images, maps, sounds, specific links to pages of other domains) present on the site he is visiting may reside. Cookies, which are usually present in users’ browsers in very large numbers and sometimes also with characteristics of wide temporal persistence, are used for different purposes: performing computer authentication, session monitoring, storing information on specific configurations concerning users accessing the server, etc.
What are the main types of Cookies?
The measure of 08 May 2014 of the Garante Privacy distinguished two macro-categories: ‘technical’ cookies and ‘profiling’ cookies.
- Technical cookies
Technical cookies are those used for the sole purpose of ‘carrying out the transmission of a communication over an electronic communications 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’.They are not used for any further purposes and are normally installed directly by the website owner or operator. They can be divided into navigation or session cookies, which ensure normal navigation and use of the website (allowing, for example, to make a purchase or authenticate to access restricted areas); - Cookie analytics, assimilated to technical cookies where they are used directly by the website operator to collect information, in aggregate form, on the number of users and how they visit the site;
-
Functionality cookies, which allow the user to navigate according to a set of selected criteria (e.g. language, products selected for purchase) in order to improve the service rendered to the same.
Pursuant to current legislation, users’ prior consent is not required for the installation of such cookies.
- Profiling cookies
Profiling cookies are aimed at creating profiles of the user and are used to send advertising messages in line with the preferences expressed by the same while surfing the web. Due to the particular invasiveness that these devices may have in the private sphere of users, European and Italian regulations require that the user must be adequately informed about their use and thus express his/her valid consent. - Session and Persistent Cookies
Session Cookies contain information that is used in your current browser session. These cookies are automatically deleted when you close your browser. Nothing is stored on your computer beyond the time you use the sitePersistent Cookies are used to store information that is used in between visits to the website, or used for technical purposes and to improve website navigation. This information allows sites to recognise that you are a known user or visitor and adjust accordingly. Persistent’ cookies have a lifetime which is set by the website and can vary from a few minutes to several years. - Cookies of the website owner and third-party cookies
It is necessary to take into account the different entity that installs cookies on the user’s terminal, depending on whether it is the same operator of the site that the user is visiting (which can be briefly referred to as ‘publisher’ or ‘owner’) or a different site that installs cookies through the former (so-called ‘third parties’).
There will therefore be:- Cookies of the Owner, which are created and readable by the site that created them..
- Third-party cookies, which are created and readable by domains outside the site and whose data are stored by the third party.
