5.1 General information on cookies

Cookies are small text files that the websites visited send to the user’s terminal (computer, tablet, smartphone, notebook) where they are stored, and then sent back to the same websites on the next visit. Typically, the usefulness of cookies lies in the ability to obtain through them information on visitor preferences, to improve the functionality and security of a website, to simplify navigation and to analyze the use of the site itself. More specifically, cookies can be classified into:

“technical cookies” strictly necessary for the operation and use of the web service as their absence could prevent, make more complex or less secure the operation of certain active operations within the site; these include, for example, those of session, authentication (for storing credentials at the next access), functional (for example for choosing the language or currency), customization (for saving preferences), statistical (if used in aggregate form). For this type the owner of the site is required to simply inform the user without any consent from him.

“profiling cookies” used to track the user’s web browsing and create profiles on his tastes, habits, choices, etc. With these cookies can be transmitted to the user’s terminal advertising messages in line with the preferences already manifested by the user in online navigation. Among the cookies of this type include, for example, the statistical ones of third parties in unbundled (not anonymous), retargeting, social networks, first or third party advertising profiling. For this type the owner of the site, in addition to informing, before installing the cookie is required to receive separate consent from the user for individual purposes of use and then to grant the user the right of revocation.

5.2 Use of cookies on this Site

The cookies used on this Site fall into the type of technical cookies described above, they do not allow you to identify the user, to trace it and do not provide for any processing activity similar to the control of its behaviour including the use of profiling techniques. Therefore, the user, continuing the navigation of the Site, gives consent to the installation of this type of cookie simply by selecting a link, a scroll action on the page itself or by confirming the brief information proposed in the banner at the first access to the Site. Among the cookies comparable to technicians also include those of a statistical type of first and third parties used for the detection of monitoring information in aggregate form on the use of the Site. In particular, access by users to YouTube videos on the Site involves the use of cookies for storing the preferences of the embedded video player; we also use the Google Analytics service which uses cookies that do not store personal data and that are stored on your computer to allow us to analyze how users use the Site. In this regard, to reduce the identifying power of cookies, we have adopted tools such as the masking of significant portions of the IP in addition to having disabled in the data sharing settings of the Google Analytics service all the permissions contained therein so as to prevent Google Inc to “cross” Analytics information with other data in its possession.

If the user wishes to prevent the storage of the aforementioned cookies, he can download the appropriate add-on available at the following link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout. Below the complete table of cookies used by this Site:
