Terms and Conditions

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

Definitions

Cookies are small text files that the sites visited by users send to their devices, where they are stored and then sent back to the same sites on the next visit. So-called "third-party" cookies are, instead, set by a website different from the one the user is visiting. This is because each site may contain elements (images, maps, sounds, specific links to web pages of other domains, etc.) that are hosted on servers different from that of the visited site.

Types of cookies

Based on the features and use of cookies, different categories can be identified:

- Technical cookies. Technical cookies are those used solely to "carry 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 further purposes and are normally installed directly by the owner or operator of the website. They may be divided into browsing or session cookies, which ensure normal browsing and use of the website; analytics cookies, treated as technical cookies where used directly by the site operator to collect information, in aggregated form, on the number of users and how they visit the site; functionality cookies, which allow the user to browse according to a set of selected criteria in order to improve the service provided. For the installation of these cookies, prior user consent is not required, while the obligation to provide the information notice pursuant to art. 13 of the Code remains, which the site operator, if it uses only such devices, may provide in the manner it deems most appropriate.

- Profiling cookies. Profiling cookies are intended to create profiles relating to the user and are used to send advertising messages in line with the preferences expressed by the user while browsing the web. Due to the particular intrusiveness these tools may have within users' private sphere, European and Italian law provides that the user must be properly informed about their use and thus give valid consent. They are referred to in art. 122 of the Code, which states 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 the user has given consent after being informed in the simplified manner referred to in article 13, paragraph 3" (art. 122, paragraph 1, of the Code). This website does not use profiling cookies.

"Third-party" cookies

By visiting this website you may receive cookies from sites managed by other organisations ("third parties"). An example is the presence of "social plugins" for Facebook, Twitter, Google+ or LinkedIn, or embedded (integrated) multimedia content display systems such as YouTube, Flikr. These are elements generated directly by the above-mentioned 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 privacy notices, to which you are kindly referred. To ensure greater transparency and convenience, the web addresses of the various notices and the methods for managing cookies are provided below.

Analytics cookies

WebTrends

Solely to monitor and improve the site's performance, a market statistical analytics product is used to track access to the site. It may use cookies, both persistent and non-persistent, in order to collect statistical information and data on the site's "unique visitors". Cookies, defined as "Unique Visitor Cookies", contain an alphanumeric code that identifies browsing computers, without however collecting any personal data.

Google Analytics

The site also includes components provided by Google Analytics, a web traffic analysis service offered by Google, Inc. ("Google"). These cookies are used solely to monitor and improve the site's performance. For further information, please refer to the link below:

https://www.google.it/policies/privacy/partners/

The user may selectively disable Google Analytics by installing the opt-out component provided by Google on their browser. To disable Google Analytics, please refer to the link below:

Cookie duration

Some cookies (session cookies) remain active only until the browser is closed or the relevant logout command is executed. Other cookies "survive" the closing of the browser and are also available during the user's subsequent visits. 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.

Cookie management

The user can decide whether to accept cookies or not by using their browser settings.

Warning: fully or partially disabling technical cookies may affect the site's optimal use.

Disabling "third-party" cookies does not affect browsing in any way.

Settings can be defined specifically for different websites and web applications. In addition, browsers allow you to set different options for "first-party" cookies and "third-party" cookies. For example, in Firefox, via the Tools->Options->Privacy menu, you can access a control panel where you can choose whether or not to accept the various types of cookies and delete them. Online you can easily find documentation on how to set cookie management rules for your browser; by way of example, below are some links for the main browsers:
