Cookie Policy
​​
This Cookie Policy is an integral part of the Privacy Policy.
​
The user is informed of the use of technical cookies on the website through a banner visible upon their first visit to the site, as provided by the decision of the Italian Data Protection Authority (No. 229 of May 8, 2014) and by decision No. 231, titled “Guidelines on Cookies and Other Tracking Tools,” published in the Official Gazette No. 163 of July 9, 2021.

What are cookies?
Cookies are portions of code (computer files or partial data) sent by a server to the user's Internet browser, automatically stored on the user's computer, and automatically sent back to the server on each subsequent access to the site.
​
A cookie usually contains the name of the website it originates from, its lifespan (i.e., how long it will remain on the user’s device), and a value, which is usually a randomly generated unique number.
​
With each return visit, cookies are sent back to the website that created them (first-party cookies) or to another site that recognizes them (third-party cookies). Cookies are useful because they allow a website to recognize the user's device and serve various purposes, such as enabling efficient navigation between pages, remembering user preferences, and generally enhancing the browsing experience. They also help ensure that the advertisements seen online are more relevant to the user's interests.
​
If the user decides to disable cookies, this may affect and/or limit their browsing experience on the site; for instance, some sections might not be accessible.
​
The functioning and options for limiting or blocking cookies can be managed by changing your internet browser settings. Most browsers are initially set to automatically accept cookies, but the user can modify these settings to block cookies or to receive a warning when cookies are sent to their device.
​
There are several ways to manage cookies. Refer to your browser’s help screen to find out how to configure or change its settings. The user can change the default configuration and disable cookies (i.e., block them permanently) by setting the highest level of protection.

Cookies used on this site
This site uses various types of cookies, each with a specific function. Cookies are used to make navigation easier and may also speed up users’ future activities and experiences on the site. Additionally, cookies are used to compile anonymous aggregated statistics that help understand how users interact with the site and to improve its structure and content. Here is an explanatory list:
​
Technical cookies are essential for the proper functioning of the site. They allow users to browse the site and make use of its features (e.g., they remember previous actions or save the user session and perform other activities strictly necessary for the site to function).
​
The site uses, or may use, both:
Session cookies, which are stored on the user's computer for technical-functional purposes only and are deleted once the browser is closed;
​
Persistent cookies, which remain stored on the computer's hard drive until they expire or are deleted by the user. These cookies help automatically recognize returning users (or other users of the same computer).
​
Analytical cookies help understand how users interact with the site by providing information about the last page visited, the number of sections and pages viewed, time spent on the site, and any issues encountered (e.g., error messages). This helps improve the usability of the site. The information is collected and aggregated anonymously and does not identify individual users.
​
Functionality cookies allow the site to remember user choices (such as the username) to provide a more personalized and optimized browsing experience. These cookies are not essential for the site to function, but they improve quality and usability. If these cookies are not accepted, the performance and functionality of the site may be reduced, and access to some content might be limited.
​
Third-party cookies
When a user visits the site, some cookies not controlled by the site operator may be stored. This happens, for example, when the user visits a page that includes content from a third-party website. As a result, the user may receive cookies from these third-party services. The site operator does not control the information provided by these cookies and does not have access to that data. This information is fully controlled by the third-party companies in accordance with their respective privacy policies.
