Below is the Cookie Policy to be used as the extended information notice pursuant to Article 14 of Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (hereinafter the “GDPR”).
What are Cookies?
Cookies are packets of information sent by a web server (e.g. the website) to the user’s Internet browser, automatically stored by the latter on the user’s computer and automatically sent back to the server at each subsequent access to the website.
By default, almost all web browsers are set to automatically accept cookies.
Typically, cookies can be installed:
- Directly by the owner and/or operator of the website (so-called first-party cookies)
- By parties other than the website visited by the user (so-called third-party cookies). Unless otherwise specified, please note that such cookies fall under the direct and exclusive responsibility of the relevant third-party operator. Further information on privacy and their use can be found directly on the websites of the respective operators.
This website may use, including in combination with one another, the following types of cookies classified according to the indications of the Italian Data Protection Authority (Garante per la protezione dei dati personali) and the opinions issued at European level by the former Article 29 Working Party:
- Session cookies, which are not stored persistently on the user’s computer and are deleted when the browser is closed. They are strictly limited to the transmission of session identifiers necessary to enable safe and efficient browsing of the website, avoiding the use of other IT techniques that could potentially prejudice the confidentiality of users’ browsing.
- Persistent cookies, which remain stored on the computer’s hard disk until they expire or are deleted by users/visitors. Through persistent cookies, visitors accessing the website (or other users using the same computer) are automatically recognised at each visit. Visitors can set their browser to accept/refuse all cookies or to display a warning each time a cookie is offered, so they can decide whether to accept it. In any event, the user may change the default configuration and disable cookies (i.e. block them permanently) by setting the highest level of protection.
- Technical cookies, which are used for authentication, to access multimedia content such as Flash Player, or to allow the selection of the browsing language. In general, it is therefore not necessary to obtain the user’s prior informed consent. This category also includes cookies used to statistically analyse access/visits to the website only if used exclusively for statistical purposes and through the collection of information in aggregated form.
- Non-technical cookies, meaning all cookies used for profiling and marketing purposes. Their use on users’ devices is prohibited unless users have first been adequately informed and have provided valid consent according to the opt-in technique. These types of cookies can in turn be grouped according to their functions into:
- Analytics. Cookies used to collect and analyse statistical information on access/visits to the website. In some cases, when associated with other information such as credentials entered to access restricted areas (email address and password), they may be used to profile the user (personal habits, websites visited, content downloaded, types of interactions carried out, etc.).
- Widgets. This category includes all those graphical components of a program’s user interface, intended to facilitate user interaction with the program itself. By way of example, cookies from Facebook, Google+, and Twitter are widgets.
- Advertising. This category includes cookies used to deliver advertising within a website. Google and Tradedoubler fall within this category.
- Web beacons. This category includes fragments of code that allow a website to transfer or collect information through the request of a graphic image. Websites can use them for various purposes, such as analysing website usage, monitoring and advertising reporting, and personalising ads and content.
