COOKIE POLICY
This website uses cookies and similar technologies to ensure proper functioning of procedures and improve the experience of using online applications. This document provides detailed information on the use of cookies and similar technologies, how they are used, and how to manage them.

Definitions
Cookies are small text fragments (letters and/or numbers) that allow the web server to store information on the client (the browser) to be reused during the same visit to the site (session cookies) or later, even days after (persistent cookies). Cookies are stored, based on the user’s preferences, by the individual browser on the specific device used (computer, tablet, smartphone).

Similar technologies, such as web beacons, transparent GIFs, and all forms of local storage introduced with HTML5, can be used to collect user behavior data and service usage.

In this document, the term “cookies” refers to both cookies and all similar technologies.

Types of Cookies Used
Essential Cookies
These cookies are essential to allow you to navigate the entire site and use its features, such as accessing secure areas of the site. Without these cookies, certain necessary services, like completing a contact form, cannot be provided.

Performance Cookies
These cookies collect information about how users use a website, for example, which pages are visited most often and if users receive error messages from web pages. These cookies do not collect information that identifies a visitor. All information collected by these cookies is aggregated and anonymous. They are used solely to improve the functioning of a website.

Functionality Cookies
These cookies allow the site to remember choices made by the user (such as name, language, or region) and provide enhanced, personalized features. These cookies may also be used to remember changes made to text size, fonts, and other customizable parts of web pages. They can also be used to provide services you have requested, such as watching a video or commenting on a blog. The information collected by these cookies may be anonymous and is not used to track your browsing activity on other websites.

Third-Party Cookies
When visiting a website, cookies may be received both from the site visited (“first-party” cookies) and from websites managed by other organizations (“third-party” cookies). A notable example is the presence of social plugins for Facebook, Twitter, Google+, and LinkedIn. These are parts of the page generated directly by the above-mentioned sites and integrated into the host site’s page. The most common use of social plugins is to share content on social networks.

The presence of these plugins involves the transmission of cookies to and from all sites operated by third parties. The management of information collected by third parties is governed by their respective privacy policies, which you should refer to.

For greater transparency and convenience, here are the web addresses of the various policies and cookie management options:

Google Analytics
This website also includes components transmitted by Google Analytics, a web traffic analysis service provided by Google Inc. (“Google”). These are third-party cookies collected and managed anonymously to monitor and improve the performance of the host site (performance cookies).

Google Analytics uses “cookies” to collect and analyze anonymously information about site usage behavior (including the user’s IP address). This site does not use (and does not allow third parties to use) Google Analytics to monitor or collect personally identifiable information. Google does not associate the user’s IP address with any other data held by Google nor attempt to link an IP address with the identity of a user. Google may also transfer this information to third parties where required by law or where such third parties process the information on Google’s behalf.

For more information, please refer to the following link:

Users can selectively disable the action of Google Analytics by installing the opt-out browser component provided by Google. To disable Google Analytics, please refer to the following link:

Cookie Duration
Some cookies (session cookies) remain active only until the browser is closed or the logout command is executed. Other cookies “survive” the closing of the browser and are available in future visits by the user.

These are called persistent cookies, and their duration is set by the server at the time of their creation. In some cases, an expiration is set, in others, the duration is unlimited.

However, while browsing the pages of this website, you may interact with third-party managed sites that can create or modify permanent and profiling cookies.

Managing Cookies
The user can decide whether or not to accept cookies using the settings on their browser.

Warning: Disabling technical cookies entirely or partially may compromise the use of the site features reserved for registered users. On the other hand, public content can still be accessed even when cookies are completely disabled.

Disabling third-party cookies does not affect site navigation.

Settings can be defined specifically for different websites and web applications. Additionally, the best browsers allow defining different settings for first-party and third-party cookies.

For example, in Firefox, through the menu Tools → Options → Privacy, it is possible to access a control panel where you can define whether or not to accept different types of cookies and proceed to their removal.
