What cookies are

Cookies are short text fragments (letters and/or numbers) that allow a website to store information on the client (the browser, e.g. Internet Explorer, Chrome, Firefox, Opera...) to be reused during the same visit to the site (session cookies) or later, even days later (persistent cookies). Cookies are stored, based on user preferences, by the individual browser on the specific device used (computer, tablet, smartphone).

Cookies, usually present in users browsers in very large numbers and sometimes even with characteristics of wide temporal persistence, are used for different purposes: performing computer authentication, session monitoring, storing information about specific configurations regarding users accessing the site, etc.

Generally, cookies can be divided into:

• Technical cookies (or session cookies), typically essential for the proper functioning of a website and used to manage various services related to the website (such as a login or access to reserved functions in the site). The duration of cookies is strictly limited to the working session or they can make use of a longer dwell time in order to remember the visitor's choices (e.g. site language, colors, test sizes, etc.). Disabling strictly necessary cookies may impair the website's user and browsing experience or make the website completely unusable.
• Analytics cookies (o Analytics), assimilated to technical cookies where used directly by the site operator to collect anonymous, aggregate information about the number of users and how they visit the site. Disabling these cookies can be done without any loss of functionality.
• Profiling and marketing cookies (not operational on this Site). These are persistent cookies used to identify (anonymously and non-anonymously) the different preferences made by the user while browsing the Site and improve their browsing experience.

In this perspective, some operations on the Website could not be carried out without the use of these cookies, so they are necessary to be able to access the site and continue the operations exercised therein. For example, access to restricted areas of the Website and the activities that can be carried out there would be much more complex to carry out and less secure without the presence of cookies that identify the user and maintain their identification within the session.

According to Article 122, paragraph 1, of the Privacy Code (in the current wording following the entry into force of Legislative Decree 69/2012), "technical" cookies may be used even in the absence of the consent of the data subject. Among other things, the same European body that brings together all the Privacy Authorities of the various Member States (the so-called "Article 29" Group) clarified in Opinion 4/2012 (WP194) entitled "Exemption from consent for the use of cookies" that they are cookies for which it is not necessary to acquire the prior and informed consent of the user:

• cookies with data filled in by the user (session identifier), lasting one session or persistent cookies limited to a few hours in some cases;
• authentication cookies, used for the purpose of authenticated services, lasting one session;
• user-centric security cookies, used to detect authentication abuse, of limited persistent duration;
• media player session cookies, such as "flash" player cookies, of one session duration;
• session cookies for load balancing, of one session duration;
• persistent cookies for user interface customization, lasting one session (or slightly more);
• cookies for content sharing via third-party social plug-ins, for logged-in members of a social network.

Our website does NOT make use of third-party cookies, profiling cookies, or tracking cookies in any way.
