This Cookie Policy forms an integral part of the Privacy Policy above.
The user may express his/her consent to the use of cookies by continuing to browse the sites, by scrolling, clicking on one of the internal links on the website pages, or by clicking on the “x” button of the brief information notice visible (bottom right corner) at each initial access on the sites, as provided for by the provision of the Data Protection Authority (No. 229 of May 8, 2014).

Cookies consist of portions of code (computer files or partial data) sent by a server to the user’s Internet browser, automatically stored by said browser on the user’s computer, and automatically sent back to the server at each occurrence or subsequent access to the site. Typically, a cookie contains the name of the website from which the cookie originates, the cookie’s vital lifetime (i.e., how long it will remain on the user’s device), and a value which is usually a unique number generated randomly. During each subsequent visit, the cookies are sent back to the website where they originated (first-party cookies) or to another website that recognizes them (third-party cookies). Cookies are useful in allowing a website to recognize a user’s device and serve a variety of purposes such as allowing efficient navigation between pages, remembering favorite sites and in general, improving the browsing experience. They also contribute to ensuring that online advertising content is tailored to a specific user and his/her interests.

If you choose to disable cookies, this may affect and/or limit your browsing experience within the sites; for example, you may not be able to visit certain sections of a site or you may not receive personalized information when you visit the sites.

Function modality and options to limit or block the cookies, can be modified by changing the settings on your internet browser. Most internet browsers are initially set to accept cookies automatically; however, you can change these settings to block cookies or to be notified whenever cookies are sent to your device. There are several ways to manage cookies; for this purpose you should refer to the help screen of your browser to see how to adjust or change its settings. In fact, the user is allowed to change the default configuration and disable cookies (that is, block them permanently) by setting the highest level of protection.

Below are the steps to follow for the management of cookies from the following browsers:

If you use different devices to view and access the sites (e.g., computer, smartphone, tablet, etc.), you should ensure that each browser on each device is adjusted to reflect your cookie preferences. To delete cookies from your smartphone/tablet’s Internet browser, you should refer to your device’s user manual.
Websites use different types of cookies – each of which has a specific function The site uses cookies to make navigation easier and to better tailor both the pages it loads and its products to the users’ interests and needs. Cookies may also be used to accelerate future user experiences and activities on the site. Moreover, cookies are used for the purpose of collecting anonymous aggregate statistics to help understand how the users navigate the website and to improve the structure and content of the sites.

Below is a list of explanations.

A) Technical Cookies

“Technical” cookies are essential for the proper functioning of the site and allow users to navigate the site and take advantage of its features (e.g., they allow the storage of previous actions or allow the user’s session to be saved and/or perform other activities strictly necessary for the operation of the site). They are not used for any further purposes and are normally installed directly by the owner or operator of the website.
They can be divided into:

– Navigation or Session Cookies

They ensure normal navigation and use of the website (allowing, for example, to make a purchase or authentication to access restricted areas). These cookies can then be distinguished according to their persistence on the user’s computer: those that are automatically deleted at the end of each navigation are called “session cookies”; if, on the contrary, they have a longer life-span, they are called “persistent cookies”.

– Analytics cookies

They are similar to technical cookies when used directly by the website owner to collect information, in aggregate form, about the number of users and how they interact with the website. In other words, they help to understand how users interact with the site by providing information about: the last page visited; the number of sections and pages visited; the time spent on the site; and, any events that have arisen in the course of browsing, such as an error message, and help to understand any difficulties the user encounters in using the site. This information may be associated with user details such as IP address, domain, or browser; it is analyzed, however, along with information from other users so as not to identify a particular user over the other. These cookies are collected and aggregated anonymously and allow the website manager to improve the usability of the site;

– Functional Cookies

These cookies allow the portal to remember choices made by the user in order to optimize functionality. For example, they allow a user’s specific settings to be remembered, such as country selection and, if set, permanent login status. Functional cookies are not essential to the operation of the sites, but they improve the quality and browsing experience. By not accepting these cookies, the site’s performance and functionality may be inferior and access to site content may be limited.

B) Profiling Cookies

Targeting or profiling cookies are used to present content that is better suited to the user and their interests. They can be used to display targeted advertisements, to serve ads tailored to the user’s interests, or to limit the number of times the user views an advertisement. They also help measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns on the site; the site manager may use these cookies to remember sites that the user has visited and share this information with third parties, including agencies and advertisers who may use their cookies to collect information about the activities that users perform on the site.

“Sharing” (or social networking) cookies are necessary in order to allow users to interact with websites through their social media accounts and to express appreciation and share it with social media contacts.

Third-Party Cookies

An additional element to be considered, for the purposes of correctly defining the subject under consideration, is the subjective one. That is, it is necessary to take into account the different subject that installs cookies on the user’s terminal, depending on whether it is the same operator of the site that the user is visiting (which can be succinctly referred to as the “publisher”) or a different site that installs cookies through the former (so-called “third party”). This second option happens, for example, if the user visits a page that contains content from a third-party website. As a result, the user will receive cookies from these third-party services. Regarding the former, the site operator does not have control over the information provided by the cookie and does not have access to that data. This information is fully controlled by the third-party companies as described in their respective privacy policies.
Since these cookies are not directly controlled by the publisher, to revoke consent you must refer to the third-party websites or refer to http://www.youronlinechoices.com/it/ http://www.youronlinechoices.com/it/ for information on how you can delete or manage cookies based on the browser you use and to manage your preferences on third-party profiling cookies.
