There are various types of cookies.

Below are the types of cookies that can be used on the site with a description of the purpose linked to use.

Technical cookies

Cookies of this type are necessary for the proper functioning of some areas of the site. Cookies in this category include both persistent cookies and session cookies. Without these cookies, the site or parts of it may not work properly. Therefore, they are always used, regardless of user preferences. Cookies in this category are always sent from our domain.

Analytical cookies

Cookies of this type are used to collect information on the use of the site. The owner uses this information for statistical analysis, to improve the site and simplify its use, as well as to monitor its correct functioning. This type of cookie collects information anonymously about user activity on the site and how they arrived at the site and the pages visited. Cookies in this category are sent from the site itself or from third-party domains.

Third-party tracking cookies

The owner may use this information to compile reports and improve the site. Cookies collect information anonymously. Cookies of this type are sent from the site itself or from third-party domains.

Cookies for the integration of third-party features

Cookies of this type are used to integrate third-party functionality on the site (for example, comment forms or social network icons that allow visitors to share the site’s content). Cookies in this category can be sent from the domains of the partner sites or that however offer the features present on the site.
The owner is not required to request user consent for technical cookies, as these are strictly necessary for the provision of the service.

For other types of cookies, the consent can be expressed by the user, in accordance with current legislation, through specific browser configurations and computer programs or devices that are easy and clear for the user to use. The owner reminds the user that it is possible to change the cookie preferences at any time. It is also possible to disable cookies from the browser at any time, but this operation may prevent the user from using certain parts of the site.

Web sites and third-party cookies

The site contains links to other websites that have their own privacy policy. These privacy policies may be different from the one adopted by the owner, who therefore is not liable for third-party sites.
According to the art. 122 second paragraph of Legislative Decree 196/2003 the consent to the use of these cookies is expressed by the person concerned through the individual setting that he has freely chosen for the browser used for browsing the site, without prejudice to the user’s right to communicate at any time to the owner his will with regard to data handled through cookies that the browser has accepted.

By visiting a website you may receive cookies both from the visited site (“owners”) and from websites managed by other organizations (“third parties”). A notable example is the presence of “social plugins” for Facebook, Twitter, Google+ and LinkedIn. These are parts of the visited page generated directly by the aforementioned sites and integrated into the page of the host site. 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 cookie management methods are given below.

The site also includes certain components transmitted by Google Analytics, a web traffic analysis service provided by Google, Inc. (“Google”). Also in this case they are third-party cookies collected and managed anonymously to monitor and improve the performance of the host site (performance cookies).

Google Analytics uses “cookies” to collect and analyze anonymous information on site usage behavior (including the user’s IP address). This information is collected by Google Analytics, which processes it in order to prepare reports for site managers regarding the activities on the website. This site does not use (and does not allow third parties to use) the Google analysis tool to monitor or collect personal identification information. Google does not associate the IP address with any other data held by Google nor does it attempt to link an IP address with the identity of a user. Google may also communicate this information to third parties where required by law or where such third parties process the information on Google’s behalf.

For more information, please refer to this link:  https://www.google.it/policies/privacy/partners/

The user can selectively disable the action of Google Analytics by installing on his browser the opt-out component provided by Google. To disable the Google Analytics action, refer to this link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout

Some cookies (session cookies) remain active only until the browser is closed or the logout command is executed. Other cookies “survive” when the browser is closed and are also available in subsequent user visits.

These cookies are called persistent and their duration is set by the server at the time of their creation. In some cases a deadline is set, in other cases the duration is unlimited.

The user can decide whether to accept cookies using the settings on his or her browser.

Attention: the total or partial disabling of technical cookies can compromise the use of the website features reserved for registered users. On the contrary, the usability of public content is also possible by completely disabling cookies.

Disabling “third party” cookies does not affect browsing in any way.

The setting can be defined specifically for different websites and web applications. Furthermore, the best browsers allow you to define different settings for “proprietary” and “third-party” cookies.

As an example, in Firefox, through the menu Tools->Options ->Privacy, you can access a control panel where you can define whether to accept the different types of cookies and proceed with their removal.
