As you browse the internet, certain information is stored by websites to provide you with a proper, safe browsing experience: such information includes IP addresses, MAC address, domain names of users’ computers and all the technical information implicit in the use of internet communication protocols.

Cookies

Our website uses cookies to ensure you enjoy the proper use of the website and a safe browsing experience. This policy provides information about the cookies used by our website, the purposes they are used for and how they are used.

What are cookies?

The legal basis for the management of cookies is the general measure of the Data Protection Authority regarding cookies of 8 May 2014. Cookies are small text files sent by a website to the user’s device (usually the browser). They are stored in order to be transferred back to the site the next time the same user visits. While browsing a website, cookies from other websites or web servers (so-called “third party providers”) may also be sent to the user’s device: some elements on the website being visited (e.g. images, maps, sounds, specific links to pages on other domains) may be located on other websites or web servers.

Cookies can be used for various purposes, such as performing computer authentication, storing information related to the configurations of machines accessing the server, storing preferred websites, etc. The types of cookies that we use are detailed below.

Cookie types

Under current Italian law, explicit consent is not always required for the use of cookies. In particular, this is not required for so-called “technical” cookies, for example to transmit a message via an electronic communications network, or to provide a service that has been explicitly requested by the user. These cookies are, in other words, indispensable for the proper functioning of the site or for performing the activities requested by the user.

Technical cookies

Technical cookies are vital for the proper functioning of the website; they are only stored for the duration of your browsing activity.
The Authority for the Protection of Personal Data includes the following cookies among those technical cookies that do not require explicit consent for their use (see. Prov. Gen. “Recognition of simplified procedures for information on and consent to the use of cookies – 8 May 2014”):
Analytics cookies that are used directly by the website operator to collect information regarding the number and behaviour of users of this website,
Cookies for browsing or session cookies (for authentication, making a purchase, etc.),
Functional cookies: these cookies allow users to browse on the basis of a number of selected functions (e.g. language settings, goods selected for purchase) with the aim of improving the user-friendliness and performance of the website.
The user’s prior consent is required for cookies that aim to create user profiles for the delivery of advertising messages: such consent is in accordance with the preferences identified from the user’s browsing history.

Analytical cookies

Analytical cookies are used to collect aggregated information about the number of visitors and visitor behaviour at a statistical level.
These cookies do not collect information about the user’s identity nor any personal data and, as the fourth component of the IP address is masked, they are comparable to technical cookies. Information is processed in an aggregated and anonymised form.

Third-party cookies are created by other websites

These websites own some of the content, such as advertisements or images, that can be seen when you visit the website. The Data Controller cannot exercise any specific control over these cookies. Contact the relevant third-party providers directly in order to obtain information about such cookies, their characteristics and their functionality. Third-party cookies can normally be blocked by choosing the appropriate setting in your browser.
