Extended information text on the use of cookies
This website uses technical cookies to ensure the proper functioning of procedures and improve the user experience of online applications. This document provides information on the use of cookies and similar technologies, how they are used by the site and how to manage them.
Definitions
Cookies are small text files that sites visited by users send to their terminals, where they are stored and then retransmitted to the same sites on the next visit.
Third-party cookies, on the other hand, are set by a website other than the one the user is visiting.
This is because on each site there may be elements (images, maps, sounds, specific links to web pages of other domains, etc.) that reside on servers other than that of the site visited.
Types of cookies
According to the characteristics and use of cookies, several categories can be distinguished:
Technical cookies.
Technical cookies are those used for the sole purpose of 'carrying out the transmission of a communication over an electronic communications network, or to the extent strictly necessary for the provider of an information society service explicitly requested by the subscriber or user to provide such service' (cf. Art. 122(1) of the Code).
They are not used for any further purposes and are normally installed directly by the owner or operator of the website.
They can be subdivided into navigation or session cookies, which ensure normal navigation and use of the website; analytics cookies, assimilated to technical cookies where they are used directly by the site operator to collect information, in aggregate form, on the number of users and how they visit the site.
Functionality cookies, which allow the user to navigate according to a set of selected criteria in order to improve the service rendered to the user.
Users' prior consent is not required for the installation of such cookies, while the obligation to provide information pursuant to Article 13 of the Code remains in place, which the site operator, if it only uses such devices, may provide in the manner it deems most appropriate.
Profiling cookies
Profiling cookies are aimed at creating profiles of the user and are used to send advertising messages in line with the preferences expressed by the user when surfing the web.
Because of the particular invasiveness that such devices may have in the private sphere of users, European and Italian law requires that the user be adequately informed about the use of such devices and thus express his or her valid consent.
They are referred to in Art. 122 of the Code where it provides that "the storage of information in the terminal equipment of a contracting party or user or access to information already stored is only permitted on condition that the contracting party or user has given his consent after having been informed in the simplified manner referred to in Article 13(3)" (Art. 122(1) of the Code). This site does not use profiling cookies.
Third-party' cookies
By visiting this website you may receive cookies from sites operated by other organisations ('third parties').
One example is the presence of 'social plug-ins' for Facebook, Twitter, Google+ or LinkedIn, or embedded media display systems such as YouTube, Flikr.
These are parts generated directly by the aforementioned sites and integrated into the web page of the visited host site.
The presence of these plugins results in the transmission of cookies to and from all sites operated by third parties.
The handling of information collected by 'third parties' is governed by the relevant policies to which please refer.
For the sake of transparency and convenience, the web addresses of the various information and cookie management methods are given below.

Analytics cookies
WebTrends
For the sole purpose of monitoring and improving the performance of the site, a statistical analysis market product is used to track access to the site.
It may resort to the use of cookies, permanent or not, for the purpose of collecting statistical information and 'unique visitors' to the site. These cookies, defined as "Unique Visitor Cookies", contain an alphanumeric code that identifies browsing computers, but do not collect any personal data.
Google Analytics
The website also includes components transmitted by Google Analytics, a web traffic analysis service provided by Google, Inc. ('Google'). These cookies are used for the sole purpose of monitoring and improving the performance of the site. For further information, please refer to the link below:
https://www.google.it/policies/privacy/partners/
You can selectively disable the action of Google Analytics by installing the opt-out component provided by Google on your browser. To disable the action of Google Analytics, please refer to the link below:

Duration of cookies
Some cookies (session cookies) remain active only until the browser is closed or any logout command is executed.
Other cookies 'survive' when the browser is closed and are also available on subsequent visits by the user.
These cookies are called persistent and their duration is fixed by the server when they are created. In some cases an expiry date is set, in others the duration is unlimited.
Managing Cookies
Users can decide whether or not to accept cookies by using the settings on their browser.
Attention: total or partial disabling of technical cookies may affect the optimal use of the site
Disabling 'third-party' cookies does not affect navigability in any way.
The setting can be defined specifically for different websites and web applications. In addition, browsers allow different settings to be defined for 'proprietary' and 'third-party' cookies.
As an example, in Firefox, through the menu Tools->Options->Privacy, it is possible to access a control panel where it is possible to define whether or not to accept different types of cookies and to proceed to their removal.
