Cookie Policy
This policy relating to the use of Cookies is applied to the current Website as well as all the landing pages connected and/or related to it
(hereinafter referred to as «the Website») and to all the related pages and sections within the domain, as well as third-party platforms (for example, Facebook, Instagram, Linkedin, YouTube, Google, etc.) and applications accessed or used through this site.
By using the Site, you agree to the use of Cookies in accordance with this «Cookie Policy».
If you do not consent to the use of Cookies, you must set your browser appropriately,
disabling the use of the types of Cookies you have chosen, as better indicated in the section below
«How can I give or revoke my consent to the installation of Cookies ?” . However, please note that the decision to disable technical cookies necessary for the functioning of the Site could affect the User’s browsing experience.
Below we list the different types of Cookies used by the Site, together with their respective function, so that the User can consciously express his consent to the use of the same Cookies.
What are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files, made up of letters and numbers, which the sites visited by the User send to his terminal (usually the browser) and which can be saved and memorized for a certain period of time on the computer (or other devices enabled, for example, smartphones, or tablets, etc.), to then be retransmitted to the same website, so that the latter’s server can consult them on the next visit by the same User. During navigation on a site, the User can also receive Cookies on his terminal that are sent from different sites or web servers (so-called «third parties»), from which some elements derive (such as, for example, images, maps, sounds, specific links to pages of other domains) displayed.
Cookies have the function of streamlining the analysis of web traffic or of signaling when a specific site or part of it is visited or even of distinguishing visitors from one another in order to be able to provide them with personalized content; moreover, Cookies help administrators to improve the site and the browsing experience on it.
For example, some Cookies are used to carry out IT authentications, monitor sessions, store information on specific configurations concerning users accessing the server, etc.; other Cookies can be used to monitor and profile users while browsing, study their movements and web consultation or
consumption habits (what they buy, what they read, etc.), also for the purpose of sending advertising for targeted and personalized services .
COOKIES can be
FIRST-PARTY or
OWN , when they are installed directly by the manager/administrator of the site you are visiting
.
THIRD PARTY COOKIES are instead defined as those installed on the terminal by a person other than the manager of the site that the User is visiting.
What do we use Cookies for?
- TECHNICAL COOKIES
The Site uses Cookies for technical needs of the same, essential for the correct functioning of the same and which allow the User to navigate and view the contents and take advantage of its functions.
Generally, cookies of this type are necessary, for example, to keep a browsing session open or to temporarily store the texts entered while filling in a form, when returning to a previous page during the same session.
Therefore, their eventual deactivation could lead to malfunctioning of the Site.
It should be noted that the User’s consent is not required for the creation of this type of cookie.
In the context of technical cookies it is also possible to further distinguish between:
- TECHNICAL COOKIES: SESSION COOKIES OR SESSION COOKIES
Among the technical Cookies, the first of all are the «session Cookies» or «Session Cookies».
A «session cookie» or «session cookie» is active only for the reference browsing session and is deleted when the user closes the browser window and allows the site to temporarily store the information necessary for navigation from page to page. other, avoiding having to enter them again.
They therefore allow, for example, to identify the status of the user/User and verify and detect how much the same is logged in (i.e. has accessed a reserved section of the Site by logging in/entering their credentials).
The use of these Cookies is strictly limited to the transmission of session identifiers (consisting of random numbers generated by the server) necessary to allow safe and efficient exploration of the Site. This Site uses session Cookies to avoid the need for other IT techniques potentially prejudicial to the confidentiality of Users’ browsing, as these Cookies do not allow the acquisition of Personal Data identifying the User.
The User’s consent is not required for the use of this type of Cookie.
It should be noted that in any case it is possible to deactivate session Cookies by consulting the appropriate section of this Cookie Policy called
«How can I give or revoke my consent to the installation of Cookies».
By disabling these technical Cookies, the Site may not function properly.
- TECHNICAL COOKIES: PERSISTENT COOKIES
Among the technical Cookies, the «Persistent Cookies» are distinguished.
A «Persistent Cookie» is used to keep information in the period between one access and another to the Site, or for technical purposes and to improve navigation on the Site, allowing a User or visitor already known to be recognized. It remains on the device used by the User beyond the closure of the single session, and more precisely:
- for the «life span» of the individual Cookie, which is set by the website and which can vary from a few minutes to several years (in fact, it should be noted that each type of Cookie has its own specific duration);
- until they are canceled manually, by means of the browser settings, which can be modified by following the instructions found in the appropriate section of this cookie policy called «How can I give or withdraw my consent to the installation of Cookies» .
The User’s consent is not required for the use of this type of Cookie.
By disabling these technical cookies, the site may not function properly.
- TECHNICAL COOKIES: ANALYTICS COOKIES
Finally, among the technical Cookies, we distinguish the Analytics Cookies, or Analytical Cookies, which are used to statistically analyze accesses/visits to the Site for exclusively statistical purposes (and not also for profiling and/or marketing) and which collect information in the form aggregated without the possibility of going back to the identification of the individual User.
The legislation in force requires that for these Cookies the interested party is provided with clear and adequate indication of the simple ways to oppose (opt-out) their installation (including any anonymisation mechanisms of the Cookies themselves).
It is therefore always possible to proceed with the deactivation of the Analytics Cookies without affecting the functionality of the Site, by consulting the appropriate section of this cookie policy called
«How can I give or withdraw my consent to the installation of Cookies» .
- B) PROFILING COOKIES
This type of Cookie, which can be both proprietary (i.e. sent from the Site) and third-party (e.g. social networks), is used to create personalized profiles relating to the User for advertising and marketing purposes, such as retargeting or advertising on social networks.
This type of Cookie, therefore, is not generally necessary to guarantee navigation on the Site, or its perfect functionality and therefore the User must give his consent to its use.
Consent can be denied, according to the methods indicated in the
relevant section of this cookie policy called «How can I give or revoke consent to the installation of Cookies» , which the User is invited to
read carefully.
- THIRD PARTY COOKIES
As already specified, it is emphasized that both technical Cookies (in particular analytics) and Profiling Cookies can be from third parties.
In particular, Google, Google Maps and other Google services, as well as Youtube, as regards the use of videos and other services, as well as social networks (by way of example: Facebook, Instagram, Linkedin, etc.) could install these Cookies.
However, since this Cookies list depends on the choices of these third parties, the User is invited to consult, through the appropriate link inserted in the Privacy Policy of this Site, the respective cookie policies of the third parties in question, also in order to be able to disable, through the opt-out mechanism, the related Cookies installed.
With reference to third-party cookies, the following is specified:
The installation of Cookies and any other tracking systems that could be operated by third parties through the services used within the Site cannot be technically controlled by the Owner. Therefore any specific reference to Cookies and tracking systems installed by third parties is to be considered indicative.

- Google invisible reCaptcha
reCAPTCHA is a free captcha service from Google that protects websites from spam software and misuse by non-human visitors. This service is used more when filling out contact forms to ensure that specific actions on the internet are performed by humans and not bots. Classic captchas work with small tasks that are easy for humans to solve, but provide significant difficulty for machines. With reCAPTCHA, the User no longer has to actively solve puzzles. The tool uses modern risk techniques to distinguish people from bots. The only thing the User has to do is tick the text field «I’m not a robot». However, with Invisible reCAPTCHA even this is no longer necessary. reCAPTCHA, embed a JavaScript element in the source text, after which the tool runs in the background and analyzes user behavior. The software calculates a so-called captcha score from the User’s actions. Google uses this score to calculate the probability that this is a human before entering the captcha. reCAPTCHA and Captcha in general are used whenever bots could manipulate or abuse certain actions (such as registrations, surveys, etc.).
Using reCAPTCHA, data is transmitted to Google to determine if the User is truly human. reCAPTCHA thus guarantees the security of our website and, consequently, also that of the user.
IP addresses and other data required by Google for its reCAPTCHA service can be sent to Google, whose servers may be located in the USA.
First, the reCAPTCHA algorithm checks whether Google cookies from other Google services (YouTube, Gmail, etc.) have already been placed in the User’s browser. Then reCAPTCHA sets an additional cookie in the User’s browser and takes a snapshot of the browser window.
The IP address that your browser transmits to Google is generally not merged with other Google data from other company services.
However, the data will be merged if you are logged into your Google Account while using the reCAPTCHA plug-in.
If you want to prevent your data and behavior from being transmitted to Google, you must log out of Google completely and delete all Google cookies before visiting our website or using the reCAPTCHA software. Generally, data is automatically sent to Google as soon as you visit our website. To delete this data, you need to contact Google Support at
https://support.google.com/?hl=en-GB&tid=111401120 .
If you use our website, you agree to Google LLC and its representatives automatically collecting, modifying and using data.

PRIVACY SHIELD
The
Privacy Shield , or the «privacy shield» between the EU and the US, is a self-certification mechanism for companies established in the US that intend to receive Personal Data from the European Union. It was also deemed adequate by the European Commission in 2016.
In particular, the companies undertake to respect the principles contained therein and to provide the interested parties (ie all subjects whose Personal Data have been transferred from the European Union) with adequate protection tools, under penalty of elimination from the list of certified companies (“Privacy Shield List”) by the US Department of Commerce and possible sanctions by the
Federal Trade Commission .
However, with Decision 2016/1250 of 16 July 2020 on the adequacy of the protection offered by the EU-US privacy shield regime – the so-called However, the “
Schrems II Judgment ”, the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) held that the Privacy Shield does not offer an adequate level of protection for Personal Data transferred from the EU to a company established in the United States.
With the same ruling, the European Court of Justice instead confirmed decision 2010/87, judging the standard contractual clauses valid for the transfer of personal data from the EU to a non-EU state.
The User is invited to consult the
FAQ relating to the Schrems II sentence and its effects prepared by the European Data Protection Board (EDPB), the website
www.privacyshield.gov and
the website of the Italian Privacy Guarantor to better understand the question.
How can I give or withdraw consent to the installation of Cookies?
The User can manage preferences relating to Cookies and prevent – for example – that third parties can install them in the following way:
- through the appropriate browser setting –
- In most of the latest generation browsers it is possible to choose the Do Not Track option , which allows you to automatically stop the collection of some navigation data. However, not all websites are set up to allow this (discretionary) option.
- Some browsers allow the User to browse in » anonymous » mode , limiting the amount of data set on his computer and automatically eliminating the persistent cookies placed on his device when he finishes browsing. In this case, the sites visited will not detect the User, the pages viewed and the related cookies will not be stored.

- In all browsers it is possible to manually delete Cookies. However, the User is reminded that new Cookies are downloaded with each Internet connection and therefore the User must delete Cookies periodically. If desired, some browsers offer automated systems for the periodic deletion of Cookies.
