  1. LATEST REVISION

This Privacy Policy is revised as of 01/10/2020

Cookie Policy

Cookies are small aggregates of text stored locally in the temporary memory of your browser, and thus in your computer, for varying periods of time depending on the need and generally ranging from a few hours to a few years, with the exception of profiling cookies, whose maximum duration is 365 calendar days.
Cookies can be used to semi-permanently record information concerning your preferences and other technical data to enable easier navigation and greater usability and effectiveness of the website itself. By way of example, cookies can be used to determine whether a connection has already been made between your computer and our sites to highlight new features or maintain “login” information. For your protection, only the cookie stored on your computer is identified.
In order to make your visit to our website as comfortable as possible as well as for the showcasing of our product range, we use cookies or equivalent computer codes. We also employ usability analysis tools that track user actions to enable us to understand how our sites are used and to improve their functionality and design.

 

 

  1. TYPES OF COOKIES

There are two families or types of cookies:

  • THOSE INSTALLED BY THE OWNER/PROCESSOR OR CONTROLLER OF THE WEBSITE, REFERRED TO AS FIRST-PARTY COOKIES;
  • THOSE INSTALLED BY THIRD-PARTY CONTROLLERS, KNOWN AS THIRD-PARTY COOKIES.

The responsibility and management of first-party cookies is assumed directly by the Controller.
Instead, the responsibility and management of third party cookies falls to the respective owners and operators who must provide appropriate opt-out mechanisms in their privacy policies.
Six different types of cookies may be present on this website or product:

  1. Technical, session and analytics Cookies

These cookies are necessary for the proper functioning of the website and allow to manage access operations (so-called login) to the sites, to record configuration preferences where available or to integrate plug-ins necessary to display certain content.
Cookies used for statistical and performance analysis are also considered technical cookies, as long as they are configured to collect data in aggregate and anonymous form that provide a general picture of the performance of the sites and content.

  1. Traffic and performance analysis cookies

These cookies provide insight into how visitors use a website, what content they access and what geographic regions they come from, so as to evaluate and improve the site’s performance and prioritise the production of content that best meets users’ information needs. These cookies are subject to the users’ consent and refusal can be expressed directly to the respective operators.

  1. Profiling cookies for marketing and advertising purposes

These are cookies used to deliver advertising content within a website or application. They are used, for instance, to track the location of the advertisement and check whether a user has already seen the advertisement, but also to follow the user as he or she browses in order to profile the user and present him or her with advertisements linked to personal interests and socio-demographic data.

  1. Widgets and other tools for interconnection with external sites and functions

These are cookies, often associated with a graphic element of the website such as an action button or a specific logo (e.g. the Facebook “like” button), used to integrate the functionalities of other sites within the one you are browsing. The responsibility for these cookies lies with the respective operators and users may object to their application directly on the information pages of the respective operator.

  1. Tracking pixels or web beacons

These are application codes (scripts) and/or images that do not interfere with the aesthetics of the website but allow a third party to track traffic trends. For instance, they are used by advertisers to independently measure the progress of an advertising campaign and directly collect information that is otherwise unavailable. These cookies are also subject to the user’s consent and opting out of them is possible within the information notices of the respective operators.

  1. Usability tools

These are functions written in application code and enable the site operator to analyse the way in which users interact with the content and functionality in order to check the user-friendliness, design quality and plan improvement changes. These scripts are configured so as not to capture elements typed by the users which would undermine their privacy and are subject to explicit consent. Consent refusal, when present on the pages of this site, is handled directly by the Controller/Owner of the website.

  1. WHICH COOKIES ARE INSTALLED ON THIS SITE?

The Controller limits the use of cookies to what is strictly necessary to provide you with the services of this and their other sites and products. In particular, we feature the cookies outlined below.
