2. What cookies are
Cookies are small text files that websites send to the user's device (computer, tablet, smartphone), where they are stored and then re-transmitted to the same websites on subsequent visits. Cookies may last only for the browsing session (session cookies, deleted when the browser is closed) or for a longer period (persistent cookies). They may also be installed directly by the operator of the website visited ("first-party" cookies) or by third parties ("third-party" cookies).
3. Types of cookies used by this website
This website uses the following types of cookies: technical/necessary cookies, which are essential for the website to function correctly and to manage consent, and for which the user's prior consent is not required; and analytics cookies, used to collect aggregated information on the number of users and how they browse the website, for which the user's prior consent is requested through the dedicated banner. Details of each cookie used by the website are set out below:
| Cookie | Provider | Category | Purpose | Duration | Type |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
cookiehub | CookieHub | Necessary | Stores the user's consent preferences, including which cookie categories have been accepted or rejected. It allows the website to remember the user's choice and prevents the cookie banner from being displayed on every visit. | 1 year | First-party |
_ga | Google Analytics | Analytics | Assigns a pseudonymous identifier to the browser to distinguish users and generate statistical information about how the website is used. | 2 years | First-party |
_ga_<ID> | Google Analytics | Analytics | Maintains the session state and collects information about how visitors interact with the website. The suffix identifies the specific Google Analytics 4 property or data stream. | 2 years | First-party |
4. Legal basis and consent
The installation of technical/necessary cookies is based on the Controller's legitimate interest in ensuring the correct functioning of the website and does not require the user's consent, pursuant to Article 122 of Italian Legislative Decree 196/2003 and the Guidelines on cookies and other tracking tools issued by the Italian Data Protection Authority (Garante per la protezione dei dati personali) (Provision No. 231 of 10 June 2021). The installation of analytics cookies (Google Analytics), on the other hand, only takes place following the user's free, specific and informed consent, given through the dedicated banner managed by CookieHub on first access to the website. The user may withdraw or change the consent given at any time, as described in section 5 below.
5. Managing cookie preferences
On first access to the website, the user is shown a banner, managed through the CookieHub platform, allowing them to accept, reject or customise their preferences regarding non-technical cookie categories. The preferences expressed are stored by the technical cookie "cookiehub" and can be changed at any time by accessing the cookie settings panel, generally available through a link or button in the website footer.
6. Third-party cookies and transfer of data outside the EEA
The website uses the Google Analytics statistical analysis service, provided by Google Ireland Limited (for users within the European Economic Area) and ultimately attributable to Google LLC, based in the United States. The processing of data collected through Google Analytics is governed by Google's own privacy policy. Any transfer of data to the United States takes place on the basis of the safeguards provided for under Chapter V of the GDPR, including the standard contractual clauses adopted by the European Commission. For further information, please refer to Google's privacy policy, available at policies.google.com/privacy.
7. How to disable cookies through browser settings
In addition to the options described in section 5, users can manage cookie preferences directly through their browser settings, for example by blocking the receipt of cookies or deleting those already installed. Please note that disabling technical cookies may affect the correct functioning of some features of the website. Instructions for managing cookies are available in the support pages of the main browsers (Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari, Microsoft Edge).
8. Data subject rights
In relation to the processing of personal data carried out through cookies, data subjects may exercise, under the conditions set out in Articles 15-22 of the GDPR, the rights of access, rectification, erasure, restriction of processing, data portability and objection, as well as the right to withdraw consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of processing based on consent given before its withdrawal. Data subjects also have the right to lodge a complaint with the Italian Data Protection Authority (Garante per la protezione dei dati personali – www.garanteprivacy.it) if they believe that the processing of their personal data infringes applicable law.
