Extended Cookies Declaration
Preliminary considerations
On this website we use technology to gather information that is useful for improving your online experience. This policy refers to the use of cookies and the ways in which they can be managed. We reserve the right to modify this policy at any time. Any changes to this policy will take effect from the date of their publication on the Website.
Cookies are small text files that are sent from websites visited by a user to the terminal used. These are saved on the computer’s hard drive and then re-read, recognised and re-transmitted in the case of subsequent connections. Cookies are used for various purposes and allow us to carry out statistical analyses on the areas of the website visited by users. Data is gathered and read in an aggregate form to assess the efficiency of the website and to evaluate the user experience. Cookies do not contain any personal information regarding users; they can be saved in a permanent way with a varying lifespan (persistent cookies) or have a limited lifespan (session cookies).
During use of the website, the user may also receive cookies on their terminal that have been sent by other websites or web servers (so-called “third parties”), upon which certain elements (for example, images, maps, sounds, specific links to pages on other domains) present on the website that the user is visiting may reside.
Certain functions from third parties may also be integrated into this website: for example, our modules feature so-called “captcha” functions – a small test that can only be solved by a human being. Cookies relating to this function prevent misuse of the website, as they are used to recognise the user and the captcha that is entered, protecting the site from attacks by “spambots”. Facebook Pixels are also installed on our website. A conversion pixel is a fragment of JavaScript code that places a blank image consisting of 1×1 pixels onto a website. If anyone visits a Website page onto which a conversion pixel has been installed, the pixel will send a ping to Facebook and will register both the visit as well as additional information indicating, for example, whether the user viewed one of the advertisements present. Retargeting uses cookies. Navigation cookies are linked neither to a user’s identity nor to a user’s personal data.
To view the complete list of services used by this website, please consult point “3.5. List of Web Services”
Cookies, which are usually present in users’ browsers in very high numbers, and which are sometimes characterised by a long lifespan, are used for various purposes: to execute IT authentications, to monitor sessions, to save information about specific configurations regarding users accessing the server, etc.
In order to ensure correct regulation of such devices, it is necessary to distinguish them based on the aims pursued by those using them, in view of the fact that there are no technical characteristics that differentiate one from the other.

FIRST-PARTY technical (session) persistent cookies
Technical cookies are only used to “carry out transmission of a communication on an electronic communication network, or to the extent that their use is necessary to the provider of a WEB service that has been explicitly requested by the user and in order to provide such a service”. These cookies are not used for other purposes and are normally installed directly by the data controller or the manager of the website. They can be divided into navigation or session cookies, which ensure normal navigation and use of the web site (allowing purchases to be made, for example, or permitting authentications allowing access to reserved areas). This website uses first-party persistent technical session cookies.

FIRST-PARTY analytical cookies
Analytical cookies, also called “analytics”, allow detailed statistics regarding visits to a website (for example, the viewing of certain pages, the number of visitors, the time spent on the site by users, and how users arrive) to be compiled. Analytics cookies are assimilated with technical cookies when used directly by the manager of the website to gather information (in an aggregate form) regarding the number of users and how these users visit the website. This website makes use of first-party analytical cookies.

FIRST PARTY profiling cookies
Profiling cookies are designed to create a profile of the user and are used to send advertising messages that are in line with the preferences shown by the user within the context of their online navigation. Due to the high level of invasiveness of such devices (this site may share this information with other subjects, including advertisers), European and Italian regulations stipulate that you can refuse consent regarding the use of such cookies. This website makes use of FIRST-PARTY profiling cookies.

THIRD-PARTY analytical cookies
Analytical cookies, also called “analytics”, allow detailed statistics regarding visits to a website (for example, the viewing of certain pages, the number of visitors, the time spent on the site by users, and how users arrive) to be compiled. This website uses Google Analytics, a web analysis service developed and provided by Google Inc. Google Analytics uses cookies to gather aggregated statistical information regarding use of the website (pages visited, duration of the user’s stay, number of visitors etc.). You can view the privacy declaration and the consent form relating to Google Analytics at https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=it
The platform is set up in such a way as to prevent Google from cross-referencing data gathered via Analytics with those of its other products. By disabling sharing settings, Google ensures that data is not used for analysis activities, profiling or other such activities, but will remain the property of Google Analytics to be used solely for the monitoring service. The Data Controller and Data Processor may access such data for statistical purposes. Furthermore, Google Analytics works in an anonymous way, so that IP addresses are anonymised through the blanking out of the last part of the address.
If the user does not wish to be “tracked”, even anonymously, by this or other websites that use Google Analytics, he/she can download the additional component to disable the sending of navigation data to Google Analytics, which is distributed free of charge by Google.

The use of data gathered via third-party cookies, over which we do not exert any kind of control, is governed by the respective information declaration in each case, which we invite you to view. This site makes use of THIRD-PARTY profiling cookies.
