Cookies are small text aggregates stored locally in the temporary memory of your browser, and therefore on your device, for varying periods of time depending on the need, generally ranging from a few hours to several years, with the exception of profiling cookies whose maximum duration is 365 calendar days.
Cookies can semi-permanently store information related to your preferences and other technical data, allowing for easier navigation and greater ease of use and effectiveness of the site itself. For example, cookies can be used to determine if a connection has already been made between your device and the site, to highlight new content or to retain "login" information. For your protection, only the cookie stored on your device is identified.
We also use usability analysis tools that track user actions, allowing us to understand how our sites are used and improve their functionality and design.
A. TYPES OF COOKIES
Cookies are divided into two categories:
- Those installed by the owner or manager of the site, called first-party cookies;
- Those installed by external parties to the site, called third-party cookies.
The responsibility and management of first-party cookies are directly assumed by the Data Controller.
The responsibility and management of third-party cookies fall on their respective owners and managers, who must provide appropriate opt-out mechanisms in their privacy notices.
This site or product may contain cookies from six different types:
1. Technical, session, and analytical cookies
These cookies are necessary for the proper functioning of the site and allow the management of access operations (so-called login), register configuration preferences where available, or integrate plug-ins necessary for displaying certain content.
Technical cookies also include cookies used for statistical and performance analysis, provided they are configured to collect data in aggregate and anonymous form, offering a general overview of site and content performance.
2. Traffic and performance analysis cookies
These cookies allow us to understand how visitors use a site, what content they access, and from which geographic regions they come to evaluate and improve site performance and prioritize the production of content that best meets users' informational needs. These cookies are subject to user consent, and refusal can be expressed directly to their respective managers.
3. Profiling cookies for marketing and advertising purposes
These cookies are used to deliver advertising content within a site or application. They are used, for example, to track the position of an ad and verify if a user has already seen the ad, as well as to follow the user during their navigation to define their profile and present them with ads related to their personal interests and socio-demographic characteristics.
4. Widgets and other tools for connecting to external sites and features
These cookies are often associated with a graphical element of the site, such as an action button or a specific logo (e.g., the "like" button on Facebook), and are used to integrate the functionalities of other sites within the one you are browsing. These cookies are the responsibility of their respective managers, and you can oppose their use directly on the respective manager's information pages.
5. Tracking pixels or web beacons
These are application code (scripts) and/or images that do not interfere with the site's aesthetics but allow a third party to track traffic. For example, they are used by advertisers to independently measure the performance of an ad campaign and collect information that would otherwise not be available. These cookies are also subject to user consent, and opting out is possible within the respective managers' information pages.
6. Usability tools
These are functionalities written in application code that allow the site manager to analyze how users interact with content and features in order to verify ease of use, design quality, and plan improvements. These scripts are configured not to capture user-entered data that would compromise their privacy and are subject to explicit consent. Refusal of consent, when present on this site, is managed directly by the Data Controller.
B. WHICH COOKIES ARE INSTALLED ON THIS SITE?
The Data Controller seeks to limit the use of cookies to the minimum necessary to offer you the services of this and other sites and products. Specifically, the cookies mentioned in the following paragraphs are present.
a. COOKIES NOT SUBJECT TO CONSENT
- Technical, session, and analytical cookies
b. COOKIES SUBJECT TO CONSENT
The following cookies are subject to your consent. You can express your consent in a simplified way, as indicated in the informational banner you saw on your first visit to this site, or selectively using our Consent Management Tool.
To make it easier for you to manage your consent preferences, we provide you with a tool accessible via the button below, through which you can selectively refuse individual cookies or entire categories of purposes for which cookies are collected. You can also, of course, deny or give consent to all cookies managed with a single click.
The operation is simple: activate or deactivate the purposes for which you give consent or, alternatively, select the individual subjects you wish to authorize or prevent from operating. You can access the tool at any time through this cookie policy and, if it's your first visit to this site or you have recently deleted cookies from your browser, through the warning banner at the top or bottom of the page you are visiting.
Third-party cookies unknown to us
For all cookies installed by third parties unknown to the Data Controller, which, with your consent, may process personal data through this site, you can exercise your right to object by visiting the site http://www.youronlinechoices.eu/ or https://optout.aboutads.info.
If you have further doubts or concerns about the use of cookies, you can always intervene to prevent their setting and reading, for example by changing the privacy settings within your browser.
Since each browser - and often different versions of the same browser - differ significantly from one another, if you prefer to act independently through your browser preferences, you can find detailed information on the necessary procedure in your browser's guide.

C. DURATION OF PROCESSING

The profiling cookies managed by the Data Controller are anonymous and, once expired, remain within statistical systems and profiling platforms in an aggregated and non-attributable form to your browser, for exclusive general statistical purposes.
