Information on the use of cookies
Detailed information on the use of cookies follows. It should be noted that the information provided here must be understood as an attachment to the more general privacy information may available on other pages.
General information on cookies
When you access or use one of our services, our system or one of our partners system may set or read cookies and / or other types of identifiers about the browser and / or device you are using. A cookie is a small text file that is stored on the computer of those who view a website in order to record some information relating to the visit as well as to create a system to recognize the user even at subsequent times. Device identifiers, on the other hand, are generated by collecting and processing some information such as the IP address and / or the user agent (browser version, type and version of the operating system) or other characteristics of the device, always in order to reconnect certain information to a specific user. A website can set a cookie on the browser only if the preferences configured for the latter allow it. It is important to know that a browser can allow a particular website to access only and exclusively the cookies set by it and not those set by other websites: there is no risk to your privacy in this regard.
Practices related to cookies and other similar technologies
Our site or its partners may use cookies or other types of identifiers for a number of reasons, including: To offer access to restricted areas of the site that can be accessed upon authentication (in this case the cookies are called “technical” and are used to maintain the browsing session and / or to facilitate subsequent accesses from the same device); To keep track of user preferences while using the site and / or services incorporated therein or connected to it; To offer advertising and / or content relevant to the interests of visitors (third-party cookies only); To process statistical analysis (analytics) about the use of the site and / or the services incorporated therein; to make research to improve the content, products and services of our site or its partners.
Our site currently does NOT directly use any profiling cookies: the only cookies generated and managed directly by our site are the so-called technical cookies (which are used only and exclusively to correctly offer the services proposed to the public) and, in an extremely limited way , analytics cookies (which are used to count the number of readings on the various pages of the site and / or for other statistical purposes). However, we inform users that profiling cookies may be generated by third parties through our pages (Ref. “Cookies from other companies”).
Cookies for advertising management
The management of advertisements on this site (if any) takes place using a tool (AdServer) developed and managed directly by various third-party companies. This tool is used exclusively to manage the display, positioning and frequency of exposure of advertisements (frequency capping). This tool uses cookies and other types of identifiers only and exclusively for technical and statistical purposes: in order to ensure full respect for the privacy of our users, we have decided NOT to carry out any type of profiling for advertising or other purposes. It should be noted, however, that through this tool, third party tags that may use profiling systems can be uploaded to the web pages. With regard to the use of cookies by external advertising suppliers, please refer to the next paragraph of this information (Ref. “Cookies from other companies”).
Cookies from other companies
Our site could integrate, within its pages, third-party services that could set up and use their own cookies and / or similar technologies.
