Cookie Policy

We use cookies to make our website easier and more intuitive to use. Cookies are small pieces of data stored locally in the temporary memory of your browser, and therefore on your computer, for periods of time that vary according to need and generally range from a few hours to several years, with the exception of profiling cookies, whose maximum duration is 365 calendar days. Cookies make it possible to store, on a semi-permanent basis, information about your preferences and other technical data that make browsing easier and the website itself more user-friendly and effective. For example, cookies can be used to determine whether a connection has already been established between your computer and our website, in order to highlight new content or retain “login” information. In addition, the information generated by the use of cookies helps us improve browsing by allowing us to identify how to optimise our pages or our technical infrastructure. Our website does not directly produce profiling cookies, i.e. cookies intended to create user profiles and used to send advertising messages in line with the preferences expressed by the user while browsing online. Our website may also contain links or images from third parties which may in turn generate cookies over which we have no direct control.

Technical cookies

The sole purpose of this type of cookie is to ensure the transmission of communications between the user and the website over the Internet, to the extent strictly necessary to provide our service in full and in the best quality conditions. The data related to cookies generated directly by our website are located in Italy, consistent with the location of our hosting provider’s servers. Cookie-related data are managed exclusively within the website itself and are not transferred to third parties. In particular, the technical cookies managed by our website, which may be handled as individual pieces of information (several cookies) or as aggregated data (a single cookie), fall into three main types of use:

Cookies strictly necessary to generate the website’s pages

These cookies are essential to allow you to move around the whole website and make full use of its features, such as accessing areas reserved for registered users, registering on the website, logging in, etc. Without these cookies, some necessary services, such as simply displaying a page, cannot be used.

Cookies for analysing and managing website performance

These cookies collect information about how users use a website, for example which pages are visited most often and whether web pages have generated error messages. These cookies do not collect information that identifies a visitor. All information collected through these cookies is aggregated and therefore anonymous. Their purpose is to improve how a website works and the visitors’ browsing experience.

Cookies for managing and analysing functionality

This type of cookie allows the website to remember the choices made by the user within our website in order to provide advanced, personalised features; for example, they can also be used to remember changes made to text size, fonts and other parts of web pages where available. They can also be used to provide services requested by the visitor, such as watching a video or commenting on a blog. The information collected by these types of cookies is anonymised and cannot track your browsing activity on other websites.

Third-party cookies and services

The website also contains third-party services and links, for example the YouTube and Facebook buttons, which may place cookies on the electronic device in use when they are clicked. Please note that this cookie notice does not cover links on the website that lead to third-party websites. We therefore recommend reading the privacy notices of the other websites visited through the links listed below.  We wish to point out that, as publisher of the website, our company does not receive any information from the respective third-party service providers or licensees about any data they may collect.

List of cookies used:

Links: 

The Website contains links to other websites or other Internet resources. These links are not under the control of the Owner of the website, who cannot in any way be held responsible for the operation of such external websites or resources.
