COOKIE POLICY
This statement describes the cookie policy in use on this site and provides details of the cookies it uses. This information may change over time and the latest version can be found on this page.
Like most websites, this site uses cookies. Cookies are files that contain small amounts of text and are downloaded when you visit a website. Cookies allow you to navigate between pages efficiently, store preferences, and generally improve your navigation of a website. Learn more about cookies: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cookie.
Types of cookies
The Italian Data Protection Authority splits cookies into various categories, depending on how they are used and who sets them.
Technical cookies
These are cookies that serve to carry out navigation or provide a service requested by the user. These cookies are not used for other purposes and are usually installed directly by the website owner.
Quoting the Data Protection Authority:
Technical cookies are those used for the sole purpose of “carrying out the transmission of a communication over an electronic communications network, or to the extent strictly necessary for the provider of an information society service explicitly requested by the subscriber or user to provide such service”
Profiling Cookie
These are cookies used to track the user’s browsing on the web and create profiles on their tastes, habits, choices, etc. These cookies allow us to offer advertisements related to the user and their interests.
Once again, quoting the Data Protection Authority:
Profiling cookies are designed to create profiles of the user and are used to send advertising messages in line with the preferences expressed by the same as part of web browsing. Due to the particular invasiveness that such devices may have in the private sphere of users, European and Italian legislation provides that the user must be adequately informed about the use of the same and thus express their valid consent.
Cookies can also be classified into proprietary cookies and third-party cookies depending on who sets them.
Owner cookies
Proprietary cookies are set by the domain of the site indicated in the address bar
Third part cookies
Third part cookies are cookies set by a website other than the one you are currently visiting. For example, the website may use an outside analytics company that sets its own cookie to perform this service. The site you are visiting may also contain embedded content, for example YouTube or Flickr, and these sites may create their own cookies.
