Policy on the use of cookies
What is a cookie?
Cookies are small text files that are downloaded to the user's device when browsing a website. Depending on what they do and their ownership, cookies can be divided into "technical cookies", "profiling cookies" and "third-party cookies".
Technical cookies
These cookies enable functions without which it would not be possible to make full use of the site and do not require the user's consent to be installed (Art. 122 paragraph 1 of Legislative Decree 196/2003). They are used, for example, to store your position on the page while browsing, to manage the switching of pages from http to https or to remember if you have already logged in. These cookies do not analyse user behaviour for marketing purposes (e.g. to send targeted advertising) and do not profile the user in any way. When they are used by the site owner they are called "first party cookies". Technical cookies (first or third party) also include those used to statistically analyse access or visits to the site (so-called "analytics" cookies) when they are used exclusively for statistical purposes and collect information in aggregate form without the possibility of identifying the individual user.
Below, for each technical cookie used, we report the name, purpose of use and retention time.

Profiling cookies
Profiling cookies analyse user behaviour for marketing purposes. For example, to send targeted advertisements while browsing.
This site does not use profiling cookies.
Third-party cookies
While browsing a site, you may also receive cookies on your device from third-party sites or web servers (parties other than the site owner). In this case, the cookies are referred to as 'third-party cookies'. This may happen, for example, because the site contains elements such as images, maps, sounds and specific links to web pages of other domains or that reside on servers other than the one on which the page being browsed is located. These cookies are managed and set directly by the operators of these websites or servers and, in the event of data collection, the data are acquired and managed by these entities. To find out how the data collected is managed and used, it is necessary to access the information pages issued by these subjects.

How do I disable cookies?
This site uses first-party technical cookies that do not require the user's consent and do not need to be deactivated.
In other cases, or if the user wishes to act regardless of the nature of the cookie, cookies that are not strictly necessary can be deactivated by adjusting the settings on your browser (the programme used to browse the website). A convenient and quick way offered by some browsers is so-called 'incognito surfing'. We advise users to find up-to-date information on the functioning of their browsers directly from the pages written by their developers and/or licence holders. For example, you can search for 'cookie management + browser name and version' on your favourite search engine.
