Cookie Policy
What is a cookie?
Cookies are small files, containing letters and numbers, which are used on the user's computer or mobile device when visiting a website. Cookies are then sent back to the original site on each subsequent visit, or to another website that declares these cookies. Cookies are useful because they help a website to recognize the user's device. Depending on the type, cookies perform different functions: helping you to navigate between pages efficiently, remembering user preferences and, more generally, improving your experience.
Cookies can be:
- Direct cookies, sent directly from a site to the user's device. This site does not use direct cookies.
- Third-party cookies, coming from a third party but sent on our behalf. This site uses third-party cookies to facilitate the analysis of our website and its use (further on, it is explained in detail how this occurs).
- Technical cookies, used to allow the transmission of a communication over an electronic communication network or to provide a service expressly requested by the user. They are not used for other purposes.
In the category of technical cookies, the use of which does not require the user's consent, the following are distinguished in the following categories:
- Navigation or session cookies: they guarantee the normal navigation and use of the website (e.g. to authenticate and access restricted areas). The use of these cookies (which are not stored permanently on the user's device and are automatically eliminated by closing the browser) is strictly limited to the transmission of session identifiers (consisting of random numbers generated by the server) necessary to allow safe and efficient exploration of the site.
- Analytics cookies: they are solely used to collect information in aggregate form, on the number of users who visit the site and how they visit it.
We collect data in an exclusively aggregated and anonymous form in order to verify the correct functioning of the site, and the use by users, to make it easier and faster to consult. To do this, we use the following third-party cookies:
- Google Analytics: collects information on how visitors use the site, including the number of visitors, the sites of origin and the pages visited on our website.
We use this information to compile reports and to improve our website; this allows us, for example, to know any errors detected by users and to ensure them immediate navigation to easily find what they are looking for.
The data collected do not allow personal identification of users; they are in fact treated in an aggregate and anonymized form. Google does not cross such data with those obtained from other Google services.
Collected data: browser identification, date and time of interaction with the site, page of origin, anonymized IP address.
Further information on Google Analytics cookies can be found on the following page: https://developers.google.com/analytics/devguides/collection/analyticsjs/cookie-usage
You can selectively disable the action of Google Analytics by installing the appropriate component provided by Google on the browser (opt out): https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout
