Cookie policy

This website uses cookies and similar technologies to guaratee right functioning of the website and to improve the online experience of the user.

WHAT ARE COOKIES

Cookies are small text files memorised by the computer or mobile of the user when visiting websites or apps. They are commonly used to guarantee the right functioning of the website, to improve its functionalities and to gather information on the user’s behaviour on the website and the services that it offers.

TYPES OF COOKIES

Based on their characteristics and use, we can classify cookies in different categories:

“Technical” cookies (performance): These are cookies which are strictly necessary to the correct functioning of the website, used to provide services better, and to improve your experience. They allow, for example, to detect if the same user comes back to the website at different times.  Thanks to cookies, the website remembers minimal quantities of information related to your actions and your preferences (such as login, language, and other visual preference), so that they don’t have to be re-entered when you return to the website or you go from one page to the other.

Analysis cookies: these cookis are used to gather and analyse data on website traffic and use, anonymously.

Profiling cookies: these are permanent cookies used to identify user preferences and to deliver advertisements in line with them.

THIRD-PARTY COOKIES

When visiting a website, you can receive cookies either from the visiting website (“proprietary”), or ones that are managed by other organisations (“third-party”). An example can be the presence of “social plugins” for Facebook, Twitter, Google+, etc. These are parts of the visited website generated directly from the third-party websites (in this case Facebook, Twitter, Google+, etc) and integrated on the website page. 

The presence of these plugins implies the transmission of cookies to and from all websites managed by third parties. The management of information gathered by “third parties” is limited by their own policies to refer to.
