EXTENDED COOKIE POLICY

Use of cookies

This website uses cookies to make its services simple and efficient.
Users browsing the Site will have minimal amounts of information stored on their devices, whether computers or mobile devices, in small text files called “cookies” saved in the directories used by the User’s web browser.
Disabling cookies may prevent some of our services or pages from being used or working correctly.
There are various types of cookies, some necessary to make use of the Site more effective, others to enable certain features.
In detail, our cookies allow us to:

• store preferences entered by the user
• avoid re-entering the same information several times during a visit, such as username and password
• analyse use of services and content provided by the site to optimise browsing experience and services offered, and for statistical purposes

Types of cookies used by this site

Below are the types of cookies used by this site according to their purpose.

Technical cookies

This type of cookie is strictly necessary for the correct functioning of certain sections of the Site and does not require express consent. This category includes persistent and session cookies:

• persistent: they are not destroyed when the browser is closed but remain until a preset expiry date
• session: they are destroyed each time the browser is closed

These cookies, always sent from our domain, are necessary to display the site correctly and in relation to the technical services offered will therefore always be used and sent, unless the user changes browser settings (thus impairing display of site pages).

Analytics cookies

Cookies in this category are used to collect information on use of the site. This site, if consent to cookies is not given, will use this information for ANONYMOUS statistical analysis to improve use of the Site and make content more interesting and relevant to users. If consent is not expressed, this type of cookie collects data in ANONYMOUS and exclusively aggregated form on user activity (pages visited, time spent, traffic sources, geographic origin, age, gender and interests) and how they reached the Site. Analytics cookies are sent by the Site itself or by third-party domains.

Since analytics cookies are configured by default to anonymise users’ IP addresses, they are considered Technical Cookies for which explicit consent is not required.

This site uses Google Analytics cookies by default with anonymised IP (Google Inc.)

If explicit consent to use third-party cookies is given, IP addresses will no longer be anonymised and cookies useful for remarketing and creating demographic and interest reports will also be sent.

Third-party information access:

• Privacy Policy: http://www.google.com/policies/privacy/
• Cookie Policy: https://developers.google.com/analytics/devguides/collection/analyticsjs/cookie-usage
• Opt-out: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en

Cookies to integrate third-party products and software features

This type of cookie integrates features developed by third parties within Site pages, such as social network icons and preferences for sharing site content or use of third-party software services (such as map generators and other additional services). These cookies are sent by third-party domains and partner sites that offer their features among Site pages.

Interactions and information acquired from this site are in any case subject to the User’s privacy settings for each social network or third-party site. If a third-party interaction service is installed, even if Users do not use the service, it may collect traffic data relating to pages where it is installed.

Since the third-party software and services indicated may also send cookies, explicit consent or interaction with them is required to enable them. Without explicit consent or interaction, these cookies will not be installed and some features will not be available.

Below are the names of the third parties that manage them, and for each the link to the page where you can receive information on processing and give your consent.

• Google Maps services: Privacy and data protection https://policies.google.com/privacy; Cookie information https://policies.google.com/technologies/cookies
• Disqus comment service: Privacy Policy https://help.disqus.com/terms-and-policies/disqus-privacy-policy

Profiling cookies

These cookies are necessary to create user profiles in order to send advertising messages in line with preferences expressed by the user within Site pages.
We do not directly use profiling cookies on our Site, but third-party profiling cookies may be sent with prior consent. This site does not directly manage these cookies.
In particular, third-party profiling cookies that may be used on this site include:

• Google Remarketing: this service allows placement of interest-based ads to be shown again to users who visited them or placement of targeted ads on Internet pages of Google partner websites.
• Facebook Pixel: it allows tracking of user behaviour after clicking a Facebook ad and routing to the respective operator’s website. Conversion measurement allows measuring, analysing and optimising the effectiveness of Facebook ads for statistical and market research purposes.

Cookies requiring consent

All cookies other than the technical and analytics cookies indicated above are installed or activated only following consent expressed by the user on first visit to the site. Consent may be given by interacting with the brief information banner on all site pages, by clicking OK, scrolling the page, clicking a link or continuing navigation in other ways, or may be given or denied selectively as indicated below. This consent is recorded on subsequent visits. However, the user may always revoke consent in whole or in part.

Under applicable regulations, this site is not required to request consent for technical cookies, as they are necessary to provide requested services.

For all other types of cookies, consent may be denied by the User in one or more of the following ways:

• Through specific browser configuration or related programs used to browse Site pages.
• By changing settings in use of third-party services.

Both solutions may prevent the user from using or viewing parts of the Site.

Third-party websites and services

The Site may contain links to other websites with their own privacy policies which may differ from that adopted by this site, which therefore is not responsible for those sites.
