DETAILED INFORMATION ABOUT COOKIES

Cookies are text files that contain information packets that are stored on the user’s computer or mobile devices whenever the user accesses an online site. On each subsequent visit, the browser sends these cookies to the website that originated them or to another site. Cookies allow sites to remember some information that makes online browsing simple and fast.

Based on their purposes, the cookies used by the Sites can be classified into the following categories:

  • Strictly necessary cookies: these types of cookies are necessary for the proper functioning of certain areas of the site. This category includes both persistent cookies and session cookies. Without these cookies, some online services, requested by the user, cannot be provided. Therefore, they are always used regardless of the user’s preferences. These cookies are always sent from our domain.
  • Performance cookies: these cookies collect anonymous information and allow us to understand how users interact with the site. For example, they indicate which pages are most visited, the time spent on the site, any error messages, etc. Performance cookies collect information on aggregate and anonymous basis, and they are used to improve the functioning of the sites and the user browsing experience.
  • Functionality cookies: these cookies allow the site to remember choices made by the user (such as text size, language preference, etc.) and to provide customized features that the user has selected. In some cases, these cookies may be used to offer online services or to avoid presenting services or messages that the user has already refused in the past.
  • Profiling cookies: these types of cookies are used to collect information on the use of the site, to simplify its use, as well as to monitor its correct functioning and to profile users (anonymously), studying their web consultation or consumption habits (what they buy, what they read, etc.). The Data Controller uses such information for statistical analysis. This category of cookies is sent from the Site itself or from third-party domains. Specifically, this site uses the following cookies:

Google Analytics, provided by Google Inc. For more information, visit https://support.google.com/analytics/topic/2919631?hl=it&ref_topic=1008008

Based on their duration, cookies can be:

  • Session (or temporary) cookies: they are deleted when the browser is closed;
  • Persistent cookies: they remain stored even after the browser is closed and are deleted after a predetermined period.

Depending on the website or domain from which they originate, cookies can be:

  • First-party cookies: these are cookies set directly by the websites visited by the user or by the website whose address has been typed by the user (displayed in the URL window). They are managed by the domain that generated them.
  • Third-party cookies: these are cookies set by a website different from the one visited by the user. They are managed by external domains.

DESCRIPTION OF COOKIES USED BY THE WEBSITE

This site uses various types of cookies for multiple purposes:

  • First-party, technical and functionality cookies;
  • Third-party cookies, including profiling cookies, specifically those released by aggregated analysis tools such as Google Analytics.

The Data Controller uses Google Analytics service for aggregated analysis of browsing data, which allows to improve the website itself. This tool uses cookies that are placed on the user’s computer or mobile devices to enable the site manager to analyse how the user utilizes the site. The information generated by the cookies about the user’s use of the site (including the anonymized IP address) is transmitted to and stored by Google’s servers.

This information is used to track and examine the user’s use of the site, compile reports on site activities, and provide other services related to site activities and Internet usage. Users who do not want Google Analytics cookies can prevent them from being stored on their computer or mobile device visiting https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.

Through this site, some services, provided by third parties, are also made available to users, such as linking to social network services. Specifically, there are social plugins for Facebook, LinkedIn, YouTube, and Instagram. These plugins do not set a cookie, but if one is already present on the visitor’s computer or mobile device, they can read and use it according to its settings. Except for these cases, the Data Controller does not share any browsing information or user data, acquired through the site, with social networks. The collection and use of information by these third parties are ruled by their respective privacy policies, which we suggest you refer to.

Users can choose to disable all cookies by changing the settings of the browser. However, by disabling cookies, some services may not function correctly, and users may not be able to access many features designed to optimize browsing experience. For more information about managing or deleting browser cookies, you can refer to this Cookie Policy.

Web Beacon

This site may also use web beacons, which are small images, also known as “pixel tags” or “transparent GIFs,” included in the pages viewed. Web beacons can be used by the website for various purposes, including measuring its performance, monitoring the number of visitors and browsing methods, monitoring the effectiveness of advertisements, or calculating the number of items, articles, or links actually viewed. Typically, the data analysed by these tools is collected and processed in aggregate form and therefore anonymously. Users can still prevent the loading of web beacons through specific procedures or plugins of the browser.

Anonymized Statistics Services

The services in this section allow the Data Controller to process and manage statistics in anonymous form through the use of first-party tracking tools.

Google Analytics with anonymized IP (Google Ireland Limited)

Google Analytics is a web analysis service provided by Google Ireland Limited (“Google”). Google uses the collected Personal Data to track and examine the use of the site, compile reports, and share them with other services developed by Google itself.

Google may use Personal Data to contextualize and personalize ads in its advertising network. This integration of Google Analytics anonymizes your IP address. Anonymization works by shortening the IP address, within the borders of EU member states or in other countries adhering to the agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases, the IP address will be sent to Google’s servers and shortened within the United States.
