N. COOKIE POLICY
Cookies or markers are small text files (in practice information packages) that are automatically placed on the navigator's PC or DEVICE inside the browser (Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Microsoft Edge, Safari, etc.) and automatically sent to the server each time the site is accessed. They contain basic information about internet browsing and, thanks to the browser, are recognized each time the user visits the site.
Cookies allow us, in particular, to understand which pages of the site are most visited, as they allow us to see which pages are visited and for how long. Through this data, we are able to make the site more in line with your requests and navigation simpler.
Cookies are divided into three categories:
- Technical cookies: These are packages of information necessary for the display of the website. By law, these cookies do not require consent.
- Analytical cookies: They are considered equivalent to technical cookies by law and, therefore, do not require consent. They can be proprietary to the site (used, for example, to know the number of pages visited within the site) or third-party (i.e., generated by other sites to provide content on the site visited by users).
Users/visitors, however, have the possibility to inhibit the use of Google Analytics and prevent its storage on their device through the appropriate Browser add-on for disabling Google Analytics, provided by Google at https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout. To activate this component that inhibits the system from sending information about the user/visitor's visit, simply install it by following the instructions on the screen, close and reopen the Browser.
- Profiling cookies: They are aimed solely and exclusively at understanding the preferences of individual users so as to submit them with targeted content during navigation, plausibly of their interest. This site does not release first-party profiling cookies, but third parties may release this type of cookie. For example, you may receive cookies of this type using YouTube video embeds, Facebook's like button, through Google Analytics, or still by using the interactive maps provided by Google Maps.
The most common browsers allow you to exclusively block third-party cookies. To disable this type of cookie, simply follow the instructions provided on the following pages:

Google Analytics: Used to analyze users' use of the site, compile reports on site activities and user behavior, verify how often users visit the site, how the site is tracked, and which pages are most frequently visited. The information is combined with information collected from other sites to create a comparative picture of site usage compared to other sites in the category.
Data collected: browser identifier, date and time of interaction with the website, source page, IP address. Place of data processing: European Union, as the anonymization of the service is active.
When anonymized, as in the case of this website, the Italian Data Protection Authority clarified that they are comparable to technical cookies and therefore do not require the user's consent.
The collected data does not allow for the personal identification of users and is not cross-referenced with other information related to the same person. It is processed in an aggregated and anonymized form (truncated at the last octet). According to a specific agreement (DPA), Google Ireland (the data controller) is prohibited from cross-referencing such data with data obtained from other services.
Further information about Google Analytics cookies can be found on the Google Analytics Cookie Usage on Websites page: https://developers.google.com/analytics/devguides/collection/analyticsjs/cookie-usage.
