Management and operation of cookies.
What is a cookie and what is it used for?
A cookie and a small text string, typically saved in a file, that a site sends to the browser and saves on your computer when you visit websites.
Cookies are used to make websites work more efficiently, to improve their performance, but also to provide information to the owners of the site. The cookies used on the Site are both persistent (i.e. they remain stored, up to their expiry, on the hard disk of the user’s / visitor’s personal computer) and session (i.e. they are not persistently stored on the user’s / visitor’s computer and disappear by closing the browser).
What type of cookies does this site use and for what purpose?
Our site uses different types of cookies, each of which has a specific function. Below we report specifically the types used:
TYPE: Navigation cookies
OPERATION: These cookies allow the site to function properly and are used to collect information on how visitors use the site. This information is used to compile reports and help us improve the site. Cookies collect information anonymously, including the number of visitors to the site, where visitors came from and the pages they visited.
TYPE: Analytical Cookies
OPERATION: These cookies are used, for example, by Google Analytics to process statistical analyzes on how users navigate the site through computers or mobile applications, on the number of pages visited or the number of clicks made on a page while browsing a site.

TYPE: Third party cookies
OPERATION: These cookies are used by third party companies. The use of these cookies normally does not imply the processing of personal data. Third-party cookies derive from advertisements from other sites, for example advertising messages, present on the website displayed. They can be used to record the use of the website for marketing purposes, collection of information on the use of the website, keywords used to reach the site. Cookies collect information anonymously. Cookies of this type are sent from the site itself or from third-party domains. To remove some third-party cookies, you can use the following tool: www.youronlinechoices.com/it/ which currently only works for advertising profiling cookies (perhaps in the future it will also be extended to Analytics) and only detects cookies from members of www.youronlinechoices.com/it/. For this reason, this tool is not conclusive for the purpose of removing all third-party cookies.
TYPE: Persistent cookies
OPERATION: These persistent cookies are used for the sole purpose of facilitating navigation within the Site and its correct use, to facilitate access to the services that require authentication (avoiding that users have to re-enter the authentication credentials at each access to services), as well as for statistical purposes, to find out which areas of the Site have been visited. Session cookies are used for the sole purpose of transmitting the session identifiers necessary to allow the safe and efficient exploration of the Site.
TYPE: Session cookies
FUNCTIONING: The session cookies used on the Site avoid the use of other IT techniques that are potentially detrimental to the confidentiality of user / visitor navigation and are also used to improve the provision of services.
TYPE: Cookies for the integration of third-party functionality
Cookies of this type are used to integrate third-party functionalities in the Site (for example, comment forms or social network icons that allow visitors to share the content of the site). Cookies in this category can be sent from the domains of the partner sites or which in any case offer the features on the site. The Owner is not required to request the user’s consent for technical cookies, as these are strictly necessary for the provision of the service. For other types of cookies, consent can be expressed by the User, in accordance with current legislation, through specific browser configurations and computer programs or devices that are easy and clear usability for the User. The Owner reminds the User that it is possible to change cookie preferences at any time. It is also possible to disable cookies from the browser at any time, but this operation may prevent the User from using some parts of theSito.
