  • Definitions

    Cookies are short text fragments (letters and/or numbers) that allow the web server to store information on the client (the browser) to be re-used during the same visit to the site (session cookies) or afterwards, even days later (persistent cookies). Cookies are stored, according to user preferences, by the individual browser on the specific device used (computer, tablet, smartphone).
    Similar technologies, such as, for example, web beacons, transparent GIFs and all forms of local storage introduced with HTML5, can be used to collect information about user behaviour and the use of services.
    In the remainder of this document we will refer to cookies and all similar technologies by simply using the term ‘cookies’.
  • Types of Cookies

    Depending on the characteristics and use of cookies, we can distinguish different categories: Strictly necessary cookies. These are cookies that are indispensable for the correct operation of the site and are used to manage login and access to the site's reserved functions. The duration of the cookies is strictly limited to the work session (once the browser is closed they are deleted).
    Analysis and performance cookies. These are cookies used to collect and analyse site traffic and usage anonymously. Although they do not identify the user, these cookies make it possible, for example, to detect whether the same user returns at different times. They also make it possible to monitor the system and improve its performance and usability. These cookies can be deactivated without any loss of functionality. Profiling cookies. These are permanent cookies used to identify (anonymously and non-anonymously) your preferences and improve your browsing experience. This site does not use cookies of this type.



    Third-party cookies

    When visiting a website, one can receive cookies both from the site visited (‘owners’) and from sites operated by other organisations (‘third parties’). A notable example is the presence of ‘social plug-ins’ for Facebook, Twitter, Google+ and LinkedIn. These are parts of the visited page generated directly by these sites and integrated into the page of the host site. The most common use of social plugins is for the purpose of sharing content on social networks.
    The presence of these plugins involves the transmission of cookies to and from all sites operated by third parties. The management of the 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 different privacy policies and cookie management methods are listed below.

    Google Analytics

    This website includes components transmitted by Google Analytics, a web traffic analysis service provided by Google, Inc. (‘Google’). Again, these are third-party cookies collected and managed anonymously to monitor and improve the performance of the host site (performance cookies).

    Google Analytics uses ‘cookies’ to anonymously collect and analyse information on site usage behaviour (including the user's IP address). This information is collected by Google Analytics, which processes it for the purpose of compiling reports on website activity.
    This website does not use (and does not allow third parties to use) Google's analytics tool to track or collect personally identifiable information. Google does not associate the IP address with any other data held by Google nor does it attempt to link an IP address with a user's identity. Google may also disclose this information to third parties where required to do so by law, or where such third parties process the information on Google's behalf. 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.

  • Duration of Cookies

    Some cookies (session cookies) remain active only until the browser is closed or the logout command is executed. Other cookies ‘survive’ when the browser is closed and are 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 other cases the duration is unlimited.
  • Cookies management

    Users can decide whether or not to accept cookies by using the settings on their browser.
    Attention: the total or partial disabling of technical cookies may compromise the use of the site functionalities reserved to registered users. Conversely, the usability of public content is also possible by completely disabling cookies.
    Disabling "third party" cookies does not affect navigability in any way.
