Cookie Policy
What are cookies?
The term cookie indicates small text files containing bits of information on the way you use a given website, that are placed on your device when you access a website. Every cookie contains several data (e.g., the name of its server of origin, an identifier, etc.), can be stored on your system for a session (until you close your browser) or for longer periods and may contain a single identifier.
When you visit a website again, cookies shall be forwarded back to the website that generated them (first-party cookie) or to the cookies provided by third parties that can recognize them (third-party cookies).
The Data Controller would like to reassure you on the security of the cookies used on this website: they shall not damage your device in any way, but will enable you to surf this site faster, while offering you a better browsing experience.
What are cookies for?
Different cookies have different purposes: some are strictly necessary for the correct operation of a website (technical cookies), some optimize a site’s performance in order to offer users a better browsing experience, while others enable the acquisition of statistical data on how users interact with a website, such as cookie analytics, or again, others allow users to receive personalised advertisement messages, such as profiling cookies.
The Owner’s website uses cookies that do not need your consent for installation (like technical cookies), as well as cookies that need your prior consent, instead (profiling cookies.)
In particular, on our website, you may activate the following:
- Technical and functional cookies (NOT requiring your consent):
These cookies are necessary for the website’s operation and enable you to access all its functions (browser cookies) or authenticate yourself in a session.
Moreover, the use of functional cookies allows for your preferences and settings to be saved, thus offering you a better browsing experience on the website.
To ensure their functionality, these cookies are erased when you close the browser; however, they have a pre-set duration (generally up to 2 years) and after this period they automatically disactivate. These cookies and the data they collect shall under no circumstances be used for purposes other than the ones stated.
Technical cookies are automatically installed every time you access a website or to activate some specific functions (e.g. when you select the “Remember me” function). You can decide to disable them at any time, modifying the settings of your browser: in this case, you might anyway have some problems viewing the website. - Analytical and statistical cookies (that might require your CONSENT):
These cookies keep track of the choices you made on the website and your browsing data, in order to carry out statistical, though anonymous and aggregated analyses.
These cookies require your consent, unless they are used in anonymous and aggregated form and the following conditions apply:- they refer to one single website or mobile application;
- at least the last part of the IP address is hidden;
- third parties refrain from integrating these cookie analytics with other processed data or transmitting them to other parties.
- Cookie profiling (requiring your CONSENT):
This website also uses profiling cookies and third-party cookies. You can install them after providing your consent on the banner, but you can also modify it at any moment through this Cookie Policy.
Profiling cookies may include different categories, including, in particular, third-party and social cookies. These cookies are directly managed by third parties and enable you to view advertisement messages that match your preferences. For example: Google’s YouTube, Google Analytics, Google Maps.
General purpose:
Technical cookies enable the correct operation and security of the website.
Analytical cookies collect statistics on the user’s interaction with the website and rely on aggregated and anonymized data.
Profiling cookies that you shall decide whether to enable or not create a profile based on your preferences or needs, so you shall view personalised advertisement and promotional messages, depending on the products and services that you required or viewed while browsing and that we presume might interest you.
Legal framework of data processing:
For technical cookies, the Data Controller’s legitimate interest in the website’s correct operation and browsing security, in compliance with the data subject’s rights (article 6, paragraph 1, point f, GDPR).
For analytical cookies, different cases may apply:
- the Data Controller’s legitimate interest in the optimization of the website’s performance and the improvement of the services provided through the website, in compliance with the data subject’s rights (article 6, paragraph 1, point f, GDPR);
- or, the user’s consent (article 6, paragraph 1, point a, GDPR), freely given and revocable at any time via the cookie banner or by following the instructions below.
For profiling cookies, the user’s consent (article 6, paragraph 1, point a, GDPR), freely given and revocable at any time via the cookie banner or by following the instructions below.
Enabling or disabling cookies
When you access the website, you will be notified of the presence of profiling cookies by means of a special banner, that will ask you to accept or refuse their installation, if possible by selecting the individual cookies you wish to install.
However, you may revoke your consent at any time, and this shall not affect your ability to visit the website and use its contents.
The installation of profiling cookies, including any other activity related to them, is managed through third-party services. For more information and to enable or disable these cookies, you can access the information provided directly by third-party companies: the list is available in this Cookie Policy.
The user is notified both through a short notice (banner displayed until consent is given or denied) and this Cookie Policy, that contains detailed information on how to disable cookies.
Moreover, if the user has not given his or her prior consent, he or she will be informed by a banner before viewing a Youtube video about the possibility of Youtube installing third-party cookies. A link to the provider’s privacy policy will also feature in the same notice.
Disabling via browser
We would like to point out that visiting http://www.youronlinechoices.com/it/ you can not only find out more about cookies, but you can also check if and which cookies are installed on your browser/device and, where possible, disable them.
In addition, commonly used browsers (e.g. Internet Explorer, Firefox, Chrome, Safari) accept cookies by default, but this setting can be modified by the user at any time. This applies to both PCs and mobile devices such as tablets and smartphones: it is a generally and widely supported function.
Therefore, cookies can easily be disabled or disactivated by accessing the options or preferences of your browser and generally, you can block only third-party cookies; in general, such options will only take effect for that browser and on that device, unless there are options to unify preferences on different devices. Specific instructions can be found on the option or help page of the browser. Disabling technical cookies, however, may affect the full and/or proper operation of several sites, including this Website.
Normally, commonly used browsers:
- offer the ‘Do not track’ option, which is supported by some (but not all) websites. As a result, some websites may no longer collect certain browsing data;
- offer the option of anonymous or incognito surfing: this means that no data will be collected in the browser and no browsing chronology will be saved, but browsing data will still be collected by the manager of the website you visited;
- allow you to delete stored cookies in whole or in part, but when you visit the website again, they will be usually installed again, unless this possibility is blocked.
We provide links to the support pages of the most widely used browsers (with instructions on how to disable cookies on those browsers):
- Firefox (https://support.mozilla.org/it/kb/Attivare%20e%20disattivare%20i%20cookie);
- Microsoft Edge (http://windows.microsoft.com/it-it/internet-explorer/delete-manage-cookies#ie=ie-11);
