Personalization
The collection and processing of information about how the user uses this service for the subsequent personalization of advertising and/or content for the same user in other contexts, such as on other websites or apps, over time. Typically, the content of the site or app is used to infer users' interests, based on which future selections of ads and/or content are informed.
This information, pursuant to Article 13 of European Regulation 2016/679 of the European Parliament and of the Council, is provided in accordance with the provisions of Legislative Decree 196/2003 and subsequent amendments of the Italian Republic, the Provision of the Data Protection Authority No. 231 of June 10, 2021, and Directive 2002/58/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council.
What are Cookies?
Cookies are text strings that websites (so-called "publishers" or “first parties”) visited by the user, or different websites or web servers (so-called “third parties”), place and store—directly in the case of the publishers, or indirectly, that is through the publishers, in the case of “third parties”—on a terminal device available to the user. The terminals referred to include, for example, a computer, tablet, smartphone, or any other device capable of storing information.
Internet browsing software and device functions, such as browsers, can store cookies and then retransmit them to the sites that generated them on a subsequent visit by the same user, thereby retaining memory of the user's previous interaction with one or more websites.
The information encoded in cookies may include personal data, such as an IP address, a username, a unique identifier or an email address, but may also contain non-personal data, such as language settings or information about the type of device used to navigate the site.
Cookies therefore serve important and diverse functions, including session tracking, storing information on specific user configurations accessing the server, facilitating the use of online content, etc. They can be used to track items in an online shopping cart or the data entered into a web form.
Cookies also allow web pages to load faster, as well as route information over a network, thus complying with tasks strictly connected to the operation of websites. Cookies are also used to deliver behavioral advertising (so-called “behavioral advertising”) and to measure the effectiveness of advertising messages, or to tailor the type and method of services rendered based on user behavior observed earlier.
Types of Cookies
Italian legislation (Article 122 of Legislative Decree 196/03 “Personal Data Protection Code,” hereinafter “Privacy Code”) introduced into the legal system the EU Directive 2009/136/EC, which requires website operators that use cookies or other tracking technologies to inform users about the types of cookies used on the site.
With Provision No. 231 of June 10, 2021, published in the Official Gazette No. 163 of July 9, 2021, the Data Protection Authority divided cookies into two main categories: “technical” cookies and “non-technical” cookies.
Technical Cookies
These are installed by the owner or manager of the website for the sole purpose of <<carrying out the transmission of a communication over an electronic communications network, or as strictly necessary for the provider of an information society service explicitly requested by the subscriber or user to provide that service>> (Art. 122, paragraph 1, of the Privacy Code). No prior user consent is required to install Technical Cookies.
First-party and so-called third-party analytics cookies
They are comparable to cookies and other technical identifiers only if:
- they are used solely to produce aggregate statistics related to a single website or mobile application;
- for third-party cookies, at least the fourth component of the IP address is masked;
- the third parties refrain from combining the minimized analytics cookies with other processing (e.g., customer files or visit statistics from other websites) or from transmitting them to additional third parties. However, third parties may produce statistics with data relating to multiple domains, websites, or mobile applications attributable to the same publisher or business group.
The data controller who processes statistical data for multiple domains, websites or mobile applications it owns may use unmasked data, provided that the purpose is solely statistical.
Non-technical Cookies
These are used to associate specific actions or recurring behavior patterns (so-called patterns) during the use of features by identified or identifiable individuals, for the purpose of grouping various profiles into homogeneous clusters of varying size. This enables increasingly personalized service delivery and the sending of targeted advertising messages aligned with the preferences shown by the user while browsing the web.
These cookies are referred to in Article 122 of the Privacy Code, where it states that <<the storage of information on the user’s device or the access to information already stored is only allowed if the user has expressed consent after being informed in accordance with the simplified procedures set out in Article 13, paragraph 3 of the Privacy Code>> (Art. 122, paragraph 1, of the Code).
The Authority also categorized cookies based on the entity acting as the data controller, distinguishing between “first-party cookies” and “third-party cookies.”
First-party Cookies
Managed by the site owner. For these cookies, the owner is responsible for providing the necessary information and indicating how to block them, if desired.
Third-party Cookies
Managed by a third party different from the site owner. For these cookies, the third party is responsible for providing the necessary information and the instructions on how to block them. The site owner must provide the URL where such information is available.
For both types of cookies (first or third-party), if the cookie is used for profiling, user consent is collected via a banner on the homepage of the site.
Types of cookies used on our website
This website uses technical cookies, which can be used without requesting the user's consent, as they are strictly necessary to provide the service.
Furthermore, third-party profiling cookies may be used, the use of which is subject to the user’s consent given directly to those third parties by accessing their cookie policies.
Profiling cookies may be used by the Data Controller or the cookie owner to store the user's choices, provide personalized or optimized features, or store their browsing habits and preferences.
For example, profiling cookies may be used to offer online services, to send advertisements tailored to the user's interests, or to prevent the display of services already rejected.
The next section of this Cookie Policy lists all the cookies used by this website.
The first group lists so-called technical cookies that do not require user consent.
The second group lists profiling cookies.
Necessary Technical Cookies
These cookies are essential for the proper functioning of the site and do not store any personally identifiable information. They do not require user consent.
