Information text on the functioning of cookies

This website uses technical cookies to ensure the correct functioning of the procedures and improve the experience of using online applications. This document provides information on the use of cookies and similar technologies, on how they are used by the site and on how to manage them. 

 

DEFINITIONS
Cookies are small text files that the sites visited by users send to their terminals, where they are stored before being re-transmitted to the same sites on the next visit. The so-called “third party” cookies are, instead, set by a website other than the one the user is visiting. 

 

This is because on each site there may be elements (images, maps, sounds, specific links to web pages of other domains, etc.) that reside on servers other than that of the site visited. 

 

TYPES OF COOKIES
Based on the characteristics and use of cookies, different categories can be distinguished:

  • Technical cookies: these are 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 such service” (see art. 122, paragraph 1, of the Code).

    They are not used for other purposes and are normally installed directly by the owner or manager of the website. They can be divided into navigation or session cookies, which guarantee normal navigation and use of the website; analytics cookies, assimilated 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 navigate according to a series of selected criteria in order to improve the service provided to the same.

    The installation of these cookies does not require the prior consent of users, while the obligation to provide information pursuant to art. 13 of the Code, which the site manager, if he uses only such devices, may provide in the manner he deems most suitable.
     

  • Profiling cookies: these are designed to create profiles relating to the user and are used to send advertising messages in line with the preferences shown by the user while browsing the internet.

    Due to the particular invasiveness that these devices may have in the private sphere of users, European and Italian legislation requires that the user must be adequately informed about their use and thus express their valid consent.

    They are referred to in art. 122 of the Code where it provides that “the storage of information in the terminal equipment of a contractor or user or access to information already stored are permitted only on condition that the contractor or user has expressed his consent after being informed with the simplified methods referred to in article 13, paragraph 3” (art. 122, paragraph 1, of the Code). This site does not use profiling cookies.
     

  • “Third party” cookies: by visiting this website you may receive cookies from sites managed by other organizations (“third parties”). An example is the presence of “social plugins” for Facebook, Twitter, Google+ or LinkedIn, or embedded multimedia content viewing systems (integrated) such as Youtube, Flikr.

    These are parts generated directly by the aforementioned sites and integrated into the web page of the host site visited. The presence of these plugins involves the transmission of cookies to and from all sites managed by third parties. The management of information collected by “third parties” is governed by the relevant information to which you are kindly requested to refer. To ensure greater transparency and convenience, the web addresses of the various information and methods for managing cookies are reported below.

COOKIE ANALYTICS

DURATION OF COOKIES
Some cookies (session cookies) remain active only until the browser is closed or the logout command is executed. Other cookies “survive” the browser is closed and are also available in subsequent visits by the user. These cookies are called persistent and their duration is set by the server when they are created. In some cases, an expiry date is set, in other cases the duration is unlimited.


MANAGEMENT OF COOKIES

 

The user can decide whether or not to accept cookies using the settings on their browser. Warning: disabling all or part of technical cookies could compromise optimal use of the site. Disabling “third-party” cookies does not affect navigation in any way. The setting can be defined specifically for different sites and web applications. Furthermore, browsers allow you to define different settings for “proprietary” cookies and for “third-party” cookies. 

 

For example, in Firefox, through the Tools->Options->Privacy menu, you can access a control panel where you can define whether or not to accept the different types of cookies and proceed with their removal.
