A "cookie" is a small text file created by certain websites on the user's computer when the user accesses a particular site for the purpose of storing and transporting information. Cookies are sent from a web server (which is the computer on which the website visited is running) to the user's browser (Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome, etc.) and stored on the user's computer; they are then sent back to the website on subsequent visits.
Some operations could not be carried out without the use of cookies, which, in some cases, are therefore technically necessary. In other cases the website uses cookies to facilitate and simplify the user’s browsing or to allow them to use services specifically requested.
Cookies may remain in the system for long periods of time and may also contain a unique identification code. This allows the websites that use them to keep track of the user's browsing within the website itself, for statistical or advertising purposes, i.e. to create a personalised profile of the user based on the pages that the user has visited and to show and/or send them targeted advertising (Behavioural Advertising).
No personal user data is acquired by the above mentioned website.
Cookies are not used for the transmission of information of a personal nature, nor are so-called persistent cookies of any kind used, i.e. systems for tracing users.
The use of session cookies (which are not permanently stored on the user's computer and disappear when the browser is closed) is strictly limited to the transmission of session identifiers (consisting of random numbers generated by the server) necessary to allow the user to safely and efficiently explore the website. The session cookies used in the above mentioned website avoid the use of other IT techniques potentially prejudicial to the confidentiality of users' browsing habits and do not allow the acquisition of the user’s personal identification data.
In particular, the Data Controller, following the indications provided by the Guarantor Authority in the general provision of 8 May 2014, informs that this website uses different types of technical, but not profiling, cookies and indicates below the specific categories of cookies used, their purpose and the consequence deriving from their de-selection:

Third party cookies are also operational on this website, i.e. cookies created by a website other than the one the user is currently visiting. In accordance with the provisions of the privacy guarantor's order of 8 May 2014, the Data Controller is required to provide the updated link to the information and consent forms of the third parties with whom specific agreements have been made for the installation of cookies through its website.
The third party cookies used by this site are anonymous, these cookies allow us to collect and record, anonymously, information on the pages of each website consulted, but they do not allow the visitor to be identified, and are in no way combined with other information. This data is used exclusively to track and examine the use of the websites by users, to compile statistics on the basis of information collected anonymously and through the use of data in aggregate form.
In particular, users are informed that the web analytics service that releases cookies used by the Data Controller is "Google Analytics", described below.
Google Analytics is a web analysis service provided by Google, Inc. ("Google") which uses "cookies", which are stored on the user's computer to allow the website visited to analyse how users use it. The information generated by the cookie on the use of the website visited by the user (including the IP address) will be transmitted to Google, and stored on Google's servers in the United States. Google will use this information for the purpose of tracking and examining the use of the website by the user, compiling reports on website activity for website operators and providing other services relating to website activity and internet usage. Google may also transfer this information to third parties where this is required by law or where such third parties process the aforementioned information on behalf of Google. Google will not associate the user's IP addresses with any other data held by Google. The user can, at any time, refuse to use cookies by selecting the appropriate setting on their browser.
