COOKIE POLICY - Extended Cookie Policy

What are cookies

Cookies are small text files that sites visited by users send to their terminals, where they are stored in order to be retransmitted to the same sites the next time they visit. Third-party cookies, on the other hand, are set by a website other than the one the user is visiting. This is because on each site there may be elements (images, maps, sounds, specific links to web pages of other domains, etc.) that reside on servers other than that of the site visited. Cookies are used for different purposes: carrying out computer authentication, session monitoring, storing information on specific configurations concerning users accessing the server, storing preferences, etc. Below you will find all the information on the cookies installed through this site, and the necessary indications on how to manage your preferences regarding them.

For more information on cookies and their general functions, please visit an informative website such as allaboutcookies.org

Examples of other technologies

Localstorage
is a technology used to optimise navigation, which does not collect data on the preferences expressed by the user (e.g. it stores a code that identifies the user's session after login, to avoid the user having to enter username and password on each profile page when accessing restricted areas).

Tracking pixel
"Tracking code" or "tracking code", is precisely a small portion of code that is released by some systems for the purpose of being implemented in others to track certain data relating to the user and his browsing session or opening of emails, in a manner that is totally transparent to the user. The data that is tracked can be the most diverse, such as the day and time, geographic location, the type of device adopted for navigation, up to and including in the most complex tracking pixels the value spent on a purchase order and other useful information for the marketing departments of the companies that use them.

Plugin
is a programme that interacts with another programme to expand or extend its original functionality. The most commonly used plugins are those of social networks, which allow e.g. the user to follow a page or social profile with one click, to indicate with one click that they liked a web content and to share it on their social network profile, etc.

Widget
is a graphical user interface component of a programme, whose purpose is to facilitate user interaction with the programme. The most commonly used widgets are those of social networks, which allow users to easily open social networks in a separate browser window.

These services allow interactions with social networks, or other external platforms, directly from the pages of a site. The interactions and any information acquired by the site are subject to the privacy settings of the third party that has created the aforementioned technologies. In order to receive detailed information pursuant to Article 13 Regulation (EU) 2016/679 regarding the use of personal data processed when you use these technologies, we invite you to visit the websites of the third party operators of the aforementioned technologies.
