What are cookies?
A "cookie" is a small text file which is installed by web sites in the user's computer when the user enters a certain site or uses the services offered by it. The purpose is to gather and move information. The cookies are sent by a web server (which is the computer where the visited site is working) to the user’s browser (Internet Explorer, Mozilla, Firefox, Google Chrome, etc.) and saved in the user’s computer. For further information about cookies you can visit the following web pages: www.allaboutcookies.org.

What kind of cookies are there?
There are different kinds of cookies, any of them has different features. According to the above mentioned regulation, they can be classified as follows:

  • Technical cookies: they are necessary to make the web site work properly and to allow web surfing; without them the web surfer might not be able to view internet pages correctly or to use some services. A technical cookie is needed, for example, to keep the user always connected during his visit at a web site, or to save the language or visualization settings. The technical cookies can further be divided into: 1) surfing cookies, that allow normal surfing and common use of the web site (they allow, for example, validation to enter restricted areas/services); 2) analytic cookies, they are similar to technical cookies only when: a) they are used directly by the site manager to gather information in aggregated form about the users number or about the way they visit the site; b) used by a third party (with IP disguise and without cross-check or enrichment with other data owned by the third party); 3) function cookies, they allow the user to surf according to a set of selected parameters (the language for example) in order to improve the service standards. When using these cookies the user’s consent about the management of implied personal data isn’t necessary in accordance with what is provided by the current regulation (art. 122 of the Privacy Code and Measure of Authority of May 8th 2014).
  • Profiling cookies: they are needed to create profiles related with the user and are used to promote offers in the web that are consistent with the user’s preferences. These cookies aren’t necessary for the correct site working, they are used exclusively to allow the surfer to get to know the offers which best meet his/her needs. The analytic cookies can be put into this group if they belong to the third party and if no tools are implemented which allow to limit the identifying power and if the third party meets the data obtained by the cookies with others which it already has available.

The above mentioned technical and profiling cookies can further be divided into:
  • First party cookies, those that are directly created and managed by the manager of the web site in which the user is surfing.
  • Third party cookies those that are created and managed by subjects that aren’t the manager of the web site in which the user is surfing (usually thanks to a contract between web site manager and third party).


Which cookies does this site use?
This site uses technical cookies (as above classified) that are essential to surf in it and to operate with some specific functions. These cookies can be divided into:
  • surfing / essential / performing cookies: they guarantee the usual surfing and common use of the web site (they allow, for example, to validate to enter restricted areas); if these cookies are blocked the site might not work properly anymore. In this site these cookies are temporary and first party cookies;

  • function / preference / localization / state of working session cookies: they allow to save information that change the site operating mode and its look (selected language, dimensions of texts and characters, geographic area in which it lies). If they are blocked, surfing will be less efficient but still possible. These cookies allow the site to remember the choices made in the past (as, for example, the favourite language, subjects of interest, etc.), they allow the site to offer the customized functions which were selected, so that they improve the surfing experience. These cookies can be used in some cases to offer on line services or to avoid that the user is offered services that he already refused in the past. In this site these cookies are temporary and first party cookies;
  • third party statistic / analytic cookies without identifying power (with IP disguise and without cross-check or enrichment with other data owned by the third party): our site uses Google Analytics service provided by Google Inc. for Sites management. Google Analytics also issues cookies that create information about the user’s use of the web site. Accordingly with the current regulation, these cookies can be considered as very similar to the technical cookies as they comply with the following requirements: measures are taken to limit the cookies identifying power since parts of IP are disguised (as explained under the following link: https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/2763052?hl=i); the third party mentions its commitment to use these cookies exclusively to provide the required service, to keep them separate, and not to “develop” them nor to meet them with other information it already has. With regards to this subject we’d like to inform you that the site manager didn’t link Google Analytics to any other Google additional service and that no advertising or data sharing option has been stated with Google. Moreover it is possible to provide the used browser with an additional component to turn off Google Analytics (https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en)

For all these reasons, thanks to all the adopted precautions about using these cookies and about the management of personal data related to them, it is not necessary to ask for consent, according to what the current regulation prescribes (art. 122 of the Privacy Code and Measure of Authority of May 8th 2014).
