A “cookie” is a small text file installed by some websites on your computer when you access a particular site or use certain services offered by that site. The purpose is to store and transport information.

Cookies are sent from a web server (which is the computer running the website you are visiting) to your browser (Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome, etc.) and stored on your device.

For more information and to find out more about cookies in general you can visit www.allaboutcookies.org.

In general, cookies may be used for a variety of reasons, such as to monitor visitors’ use of the website, to improve page navigation, to allow you to set personal preferences on the websites you are visiting, to protect your security, to view advertisements based on visitors’ interests.

In general and according to common terminology, cookies can have different characteristics that allow them to be classified according to:

• Duration on the user’s device: in this case we are talking about session/temporary cookies or persistent cookies.
• Origin: in this case we are talking about first-party cookies (sent to the browser directly from the website you are visiting) or third-party cookies (sent to the browser from other websites and not from the one you are visiting).
• Purpose: in this case, also in accordance with what is regulated in this regard by the Data Protection Authority, we are talking about technical cookies, analytical identifying cookies or profiling cookies.

Following this classification, one cookie may also have all these characteristics at the same time, and therefore, for example, be a persistent cookie originating from a third party and with profiling purposes.

Session/temporary cookies: these are not stored in a persistent manner but only limited to the duration of the browsing session. This means that they are automatically deleted from the user’s device once the user has left the website and closed the browser.

Persistent cookies: these are stored on the user’s device until they are deleted by the user or until they reach their expiry date if pre-established. They are therefore not automatically deleted from the user’s device when leaving the website.

First-party cookies: these are the cookies issued by the website visited at the time; the website address is the one typed by the user (website displayed in the URL window).

Third-party cookies: these are cookies issued by a website other than the one visited by the user.

Technical cookies: these cookies are essential for browsing the website and using certain specific functions. They can be categorised as follows:

• Browsing/communication/performance cookies: these ensure normal browsing and use of the website (e.g. allowing you to make a purchase or log in to access restricted areas). If these cookies are blocked, the website may no longer function properly.
• “Strictly necessary” cookies (functionality/preferences/localisation/session status): these allow storing information that changes the behaviour or appearance of the website (preferred language, text and font size, user location). If they are blocked, the browsing experience will be less functional but not compromised. These cookies allow the website to remember the choices made (such as language, preferred content, etc.) and to provide the customised features selected by the user in order to improve the browsing experience. In some cases these cookies may also be used to offer online services (e.g. a live chat service) or to prevent the user from being offered services that were already refused in the past.
• Analytical cookies: Analytical cookies are used to enable web services to collect information relating to user access, for example, the number of visitors to the website, how long they stay and which parts of the site they visit. These cookies may be first- or third-party cookies.
• Third-party statistical/analytical cookies without power to identify (with IP masking and no cross-referencing with other data held by the third party): in line with current law, these cookies can be considered similar to technical cookies as they meet the following conditions: adoption of measures that reduce the identifying power of cookies by masking portions of the IP; the third party refers to the commitment to use such cookies exclusively for the provision of the service, and to store them separately and not to “enrich” or “cross-reference” them with other information it holds.
• Third-party statistical/analytical cookies with power to identify: these are cookies that are used to collect information and generate website usage statistics, to understand how visitors interact with the website. These cookies are considered to have a high identifying value when the following conditions are not in place at the same time: (i) no features are in place to reduce the cookies’ power to identify (e.g. by masking significant portions of the IP); (ii) the third party cross-references the information contained in the cookies with other information it already has.

Social Widgets/Command Buttons are the buttons that are often represented as graphic icons (e.g. the icons of social networks such as Facebook, LinkedIn etc.) that allow users who are browsing the website to perform an action or a command (e.g. “Like”) by interacting with social networks via clicks. Thanks to users’ clicks on Social Widgets/Command Buttons, they are able to share the website content on their social accounts, allowing the publication and display of social network content on the website (e.g. display of friends’ photos). This website does not share any browsing information or user data with social networks accessible from its pages via widgets or command buttons. For more information consult the websites of the social networks subscribed to (www.facebook.com, www.linkedin.com,…).

This website uses different types of cookies and related technologies, each of which has a specific function. The website can also be browsed by users without the use of cookies but the navigation experience may not be optimal. The types of cookies used and their functions are listed below.

Browsing and session cookies
Browsing and session cookies ensure normal navigation and use of the website (for example, by displaying content in the language of the country the user is connecting from, and by preserving the user’s status on different pages of the site). Browsing cookies are technical cookies and are therefore necessary for the operation of the website by improving its quality and browsing experience, and they help to make a website usable by enabling basic functions such as page navigation and access to secure areas of the website. The website cannot function properly without these cookies.

Analytical and statistical cookies
This website uses analytical/statistical cookies to collect and process statistical analysis of how users navigate the site via computer or mobile applications, the number of pages visited or the number of clicks made on a page while browsing. The information generated about our website is used by our company to generate reports on its use so we can improve its usability, functionality, interface and communication. Our website processes the results of these analyses anonymously and solely for statistical purposes.
Google cookie policy and for its analytics services

Marketing and profiling cookies
Marketing cookies are used to track website visitors. The purpose is to present advertisements that are relevant and engaging to the individual user and therefore of greater value to third-party publishers and advertisers. They are designed to understand the preferences of individual users so that they are presented with targeted content of interest to them based on previous pages viewed.

Additional third-party requests
Third-party requests include all the requests that a website makes to load content from third-party domains. The connection may be a sub-domain of the current domain or a completely unrelated domain. While some third-party requests are necessary for the functionality of a website, such as content uploaded by a content distribution network, other requests are used to display advertisements, social media buttons, tracking scripts or other content.
Furthermore, this website uses device fingerprinting systems. The anonymous data collected are associated with the characteristics of the device used by the user and allow presenting advertisements that are relevant and engaging to the individual user. All the information acquired does not necessarily reveal personal information about the user (e.g. name, address, etc.), but is useful for the purpose of proposing ads in keeping with the user’s preferences.

In addition to the banner on the home page of this website containing a brief notice on the use of cookies and the possibility for the user to “accept” or “refuse” the use of unnecessary cookies, or modify them using the link (or graphic) at the bottom of each page of the site, it is possible to act directly on the browser settings.

Most web browsers are initially set to accept cookies automatically. It is possible to modify these settings in order to block cookies or to be warned whenever cookies are sent to the browsing device. Furthermore, at the end of each browsing session it is possible to delete the cookies collected from one’s device. There are several ways to manage cookies. Please refer to the specific instructions of the browser being used. If a user uses different devices to view and access the website (computer, smartphone, tablet, etc.), the user must ensure that the settings for each browser on each device reflect their cookie preferences.

As already mentioned above, preferences for the management of cookies used for behavioural advertising can be set at the following address:
