Cookies are small text files that are stored on the user’s device when he browses certain websites through the use of his favorite browser and are stored in the browser’s file directory. They are used by server-side web applications to store and retrieve customer-side information.

Cookies are divided into “technical”, “analytical” and “profiling”. In turn, then, cookies can be divided into “first” and “third party” cookies.

The use of cookies and related technologies by the Site takes place in accordance with national and European legislation, as well as in compliance with the Provision of 8 May 2014, entitled “Identification of simplified procedures for the information and the acquisition of consent for the use of cookies ”of the Italian Privacy Guarantor.

The Site is hosted by the platform owned by WordPress, for further information about the cookies used by this platform and to disable them, please refer to the following link: https://it.wordpress.org/about/privacy/cookies/

The Site uses the following cookies:

Technical Cookies.

Technical cookies have the main purpose of making it easier to navigate the Site. Almost all browsers are set to accept cookies, however the user can independently change the configuration of his browser or use specific add-ons and block them: in this case case, the use of the web portal and the use of some services may be limited.

Technical cookies are in turn divided into “session” and “persistent” cookies: both are stored on the user’s device but the former are deleted when the browser is closed, while the latter remain stored until they expire.

The Site uses technical “session” cookies for the operation of navigation within the pages, such as storing temporary user preferences; these cookies are deleted once the browser is closed.

The use of session cookies (which, in any case, are not stored permanently on the user’s computer and are automatically deleted as soon as the browser is closed) is strictly limited to the purpose of data transmission (consisting of random numbers generated by the server) that identify the specific session and are necessary to allow safe and efficient browsing.

In some cases, the Site also uses “persistent” technical cookies, to store the user’s choices relating for example to the language or type of device.

Persistent cookies are stored on the user’s device between distinct browser sessions and allow to remember the user’s actions on a site. Persistent cookies can be used for a variety of purposes, including remembering user preferences (eg the site language) when using a site.

Analytical cookies

These cookies are used to track the user’s browsing preferences and to collect anonymous statistical data.

The site uses only third-party analytical cookies from other websites.

The user can disable these cookies by accessing the settings of his browser.

Facebook Pixel

The Facebook Pixel is a service of FacebookInc. 1601 S. California Ave., Palo Alto, CA 94204, USA (“Facebook”), which allows the follow-up of user behavior after clicking on a Facebook ad and routing to the respective operator’s website. The conversion measure makes it possible to measure, analyze and optimize the effectiveness of Facebook ads for statistical and market research purposes. The data collected on the Site, with the use of the conversion Pixel, does not allow the Site any conclusions about the user’s identity. The collected data (for example, the IP address of the respective user) is transmitted through the Pixel conversion, and Facebook stores and processes the data for conversion measurement purposes. The Site receives anonymous reports from Facebook, and these reports do not contain any reference about the identity of the respective users. However, it cannot be excluded that Facebook links other individual user data (for example, user information of a Facebook account) to user data transmitted through the Site or that Facebook will use the information for its own purposes.

The Visitor Tracking Pixel is a service of a third party company (Facebook), and the Site cannot control or influence the data processing operations of a third party company. You can find out about Facebook’s privacy policy here https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy.

Facebook, as well as its partners, allow the placing of online advertising both inside and outside the Facebook web space. For this purpose it may also be possible that a cookie is stored on the user’s personal computer.

To declare their consent to use Pixel Conversion, the user must be over 13 years of age. You hereby declare that you are of legal age for such consent, or that a parent or legal guardian (s) have been asked who have decided to give their consent for the Declaration of Consent in advance.

You can withdraw your consent to use the conversion measure at any time. For this purpose, do not hesitate to use the following link: https://www.facebook.com/ads/website_custom_audiences/.
