COOKIE POLICY
DETAILED INFORMATION ON COOKIES
Cookies are usually text strings that websites (publishers or “first parties”) visited by the user as well as various websites or web servers (“third parties”) place and store – the publishers directly and the third parties indirectly via the publishers – on a device used by the user. Cookies can perform a number of different functions, among which are monitoring the sessions, storing configuration information for the users who access the server, helping them reach and use online content, and so on.
Cookies come in different types.
The cookies installed on this site are grouped into technical cookies, analytics cookies and profiling cookies, according to how they are to be used.
– Technical cookies are used exclusively to “transmit communications over a digital communications network or as far as is strictly necessary for the IT company’s service provider to deliver a service specifically requested by the subscriber or user” (see our Privacy Code, art. 122, paragraph 1). These cookies do not require the user’s consent.
– Analytics cookies help measure the “traffic”, i.e. the number of users visiting the website. Visitors may be split by geographical area, connection time band or other features. Analytics cookies are only used by this site to generate aggregate statistics, and apply to a single website, meaning that they cannot be used to track a person’s browsing history across different applications or websites. Analytics cookies are thus analogous to technical cookies and do not require the user’s consent.
– Profiling cookies are used to trace recurring actions or patterns in online behaviour back to identified or identifiable subjects, creating profiles that are grouped into different-sized homogeneous clusters. This kind of grouping enables the owner to, among other things, modulate the service provided in an increasingly personalised way that goes beyond what is strictly necessary, as well as to send targeted advertisements that match the user’s online browsing preferences. These cookies are only used by the site if the user has given consent.

PROFILING COOKIES
Alongside technical cookies, this website also uses “profiling cookies” to create profiles based on the user’s online interests, preferences and choices, which are then used to send targeted advertisements. In that these mechanisms can be significantly invasive of personal privacy, users must be properly informed on their use and give their consent. It follows that, for this purpose, the valid lawful basis to process personal data is for the user to give their consent, if they wish, where indicated at the end of this section. Please note that if the user taps on the command to close the message displayed in the banner on entering the site, they have not consented to the use of profiling cookies. Users can change their preferences concerning profiling cookies at any time, and can disable their use on the browser, although this may prevent them from accessing parts of the website. Different browsers manage cookies in different ways. The following links give information on how users can set their cookie preferences on the most common browsers:
