Cookies Policy

The software applications used may contain "cookie" technology. Cookies mainly have the function of facilitating navigation by the user. Cookies can provide information on navigation within the Site and allow the operation of some services that require identification of the user's path through different pages of the Site. For any access to the portal regardless of the presence of a cookie, the type of browser the operating system (eg. Microsoft, Apple, Android, Linux, etc ...), the Host and the URL of origin of the visitor, in addition to the data on the requested page. However, the user has the opportunity to set his browser in order to be informed when you receive a cookie and thus decide to delete it. Further information on cookies can be found on the websites of the browser providers.

Cookies are small text strings that the sites visited by the user send to his terminal (usually the browser), where they are stored before being re-transmitted to the same sites at the next visit by the same user. While browsing a site, the user can also receive cookies on his terminal that are sent from different sites or web servers (so-called "third parties"), on which some elements may reside (such as, for example, images, maps, sounds, specific links to pages of other domains) present on the site that the same is visiting. Cookies, usually present in users' browsers in very large numbers and sometimes even with characteristics of wide temporal persistence, are used for different purposes: execution of computer authentication, session monitoring, storage of information on specific configurations concerning users who access the server, etc. In order to arrive at a correct regulation of these devices, it is necessary to distinguish them given that there are no technical characteristics that differentiate them from each other precisely on the basis of the purposes pursued by those who use them. Moreover, the same legislator has moved in this direction, which, in implementation of the provisions contained in Directive 2009/136 / EC, has brought back the obligation to acquire the prior and informed consent of users for the installation of cookies used for purposes other than purely technical ones (see art. 1, paragraph 5, letter a), of Legislative Decree no. lgs. May 28, 2012, n. 69, which modified art. 122 of the Code).

In this regard, and for the purposes of this provision, they are therefore identified  two macro-categories: "technical" cookies and "profiling" cookies.

to. 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 this service "(see art. 122, paragraph 1, of the Code). They are not used for other purposes and are normally installed directly by the website owner or manager. They can be divided into navigation or session cookies, which guarantee the normal navigation and use of the website (allowing, for example, to make a purchase or authenticate to access restricted areas); analytics cookies, similar to technical cookies when used directly by the site manager to collect information, in aggregate form, on the number of users and how they visit the site; functionality cookies, which allow the user to browse according to a series of selected criteria (for example, the language, the products selected for purchase) in order to improve the service provided. For the installation of these cookies, the prior consent of the users is not required, while the obligation to provide information pursuant to art. 13 of the Code, which the site manager, if he uses only such devices, will be able to provide in the manner he deems most suitable.

b. Profiling cookies.
Profiling cookies are designed to create user profiles and are used in order to send advertising messages in line with the preferences expressed by the user while surfing the net. Due to the particular invasiveness that such devices may have in the private sphere of users, European and Italian legislation provides that the user must be adequately informed about their use and thus express their valid consent. The art. 122 of the Code where it provides that "the storage of information in the terminal equipment of a contractor or a user or access to information already stored is permitted only on condition that the contractor or user has given his consent after being been informed with the simplified procedures referred to in article 13, paragraph 3 "(article 122, paragraph 1, of the Code).

Session and persistent cookies

Cookies are divided into "session" and "persistent" -

Session Cookies contain information that is used in your current browser session. These cookies are automatically deleted when the browser is closed. Nothing is stored on your computer beyond the time of use of the site (ASP.NET_SessionId and language)

The session cookies used have the purpose of speeding up the analysis of Internet traffic and making it easier for users to access the services offered by the site. Session cookies are mainly used during authentication, authorization and navigation in the services which are accessed through a registration. Most browsers are set to accept cookies. If you do not want to accept cookies, you can set your computer to refuse them or to display a warning when they are archived. If the interested party refuses the use of cookies, some features of the site may not work properly and some of the services may not be available. The use of so-called session cookies is strictly limited to the transmission of session identifiers, necessary to allow safe and efficient exploration of the site. These data are of a technical nature, are of temporary validity and are not collected for the purpose of identifying users but, due to their functioning and in combination with other data held by third parties (for example the Internet connection provider of the interested party), they could allow them identification. First-party cookies are readable only by the domain that created them

Persistent Cookies (ASPXANONYMOUS type), on the other hand, are used to maintain the information that is used in the period between one access and another to the website, or used for technical purposes and to improve navigation on the site. This data allows sites to recognize that you are an already known user or visitor and adapt accordingly. "Persistent" cookies have a duration that is set by the website and that can vary from a few minutes to several years and are therefore stored until their expiry or cancellation.

First-party or third-party cookies: 
Cookies are divided into first-party cookies that belong to the site that created them and third-party cookies, which are created by domains external to the site and whose data are stored at the third party.

Third-party cookies are created and readable by domains external to this site. The software used creates a cookie in order to generate usage statistics. The data generated by this cookie are stored at Google Inc.
