Extended cookie policy

This website uses technical cookies to ensure the correct operation of its procedures and to improve the experience of using online applications. This document provides information on the use of cookies and similar technologies, on how they are used by the site and on how to manage them.

Definitions
Cookies are small text files that the sites visited by users send to their terminals, where they are stored and then retransmitted to those same sites on the next visit. So-called "third-party" cookies are instead set by a website other than the one the user is visiting. This is because each site may contain elements (images, maps, sounds, specific links to web pages of other domains, etc.) that reside on servers other than that of the visited site.

This site uses technical cookies
– Technical cookies. 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 that service" (see art. 122, paragraph 1, of the Code). They are not used for further purposes and are normally installed directly by the owner or operator of the website. They can be divided into navigation or session cookies, which ensure normal browsing and use of the website; analytics cookies, treated as technical cookies when used directly by the site operator to collect information, in aggregate form, on the number of users and how they visit the site; and functionality cookies, which allow the user to browse according to a set of selected criteria in order to improve the service provided. The prior consent of users is not required for the installation of these cookies, while the obligation to provide the information notice pursuant to art. 13 of the Code remains, which the site operator, if it uses only such devices, may provide in the manner it deems most appropriate.

"Third-party" cookies
When visiting this website you may receive cookies from sites managed by other organizations ("third parties"). An example is the presence of "social plugins" for Facebook, Twitter, Google+ or LinkedIn, or systems for displaying embedded (integrated) multimedia content such as Youtube or Flikr. These are elements generated directly by the aforementioned sites and integrated into the web page of the hosting site being visited. The presence of these plugins involves the transmission of cookies to and from all the sites managed by third parties. The management of the information collected by "third parties" is governed by the relevant privacy notices, to which please refer. To ensure greater transparency and convenience, the web addresses of the various notices and of the methods for managing cookies are provided below.

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

Warning: totally or partially disabling technical cookies may compromise the optimal use of the site.
Disabling "third-party" cookies does not in any way affect navigability.
