WHAT ARE COOKIES
Cookies are short fragments of text (letters and/or numbers) that allow the web server to store information on the client (the browser) to be reused during the same visit to the site (session cookies) or later, even after days (persistent cookies). Cookies are stored, based on user preferences, by the individual browser on the specific device used (computer, tablet, smartphone).
Based on their characteristics and use we can distinguish cookies into 3 different categories:
Technical Cookies
These are cookies that are essential for the correct functioning of our site and are used to manage basic functions such as: login, interface languages and searches. The duration of cookies is limited. Their deactivation could compromise the use of the site.
Analytics cookies
They are cookies used to collect and analyze traffic and use of the site. These cookies, without identifying the user, allow, for example, to detect if the same user returns to connect at different times. They also allow you to monitor the system and improve its performance and usability. Deactivating these cookies can be done without any loss of functionality.
Profiling cookies
These are permanent cookies used to identify (anonymously or otherwise) user preferences and to send personalized advertising messages. Our site does not use cookies of this type.
THIRD PARTY COOKIES
By visiting a website you may receive cookies both from the site visited and from sites managed by other organizations ("third parties"). A notable example is represented by the presence of "social plugins" for Facebook, Twitter, Google+ and LinkedIn. These are parts of the visited page generated directly by the aforementioned sites and integrated into the page of the host site. The most common use of social plugins is aimed at sharing content on social networks (e.g. the Facebook "Like" button).
The presence of these plugins involves the transmission of cookies to and from all sites managed by third parties. The management of information collected by "third parties" is governed by the relevant information to which please refer. To ensure greater transparency and convenience, the web addresses of the various information and methods for managing cookies are shown below.

GOOGLE ANALYTICS COOKIE
Our site does not include components transmitted by Google Analytics.
Google Analytics uses "cookies" to collect and analyze anonymous information on the behavior of use of our site (sometimes including the user's IP address). This information is collected by Google Analytics, which processes it for the purpose of preparing statistical reports used by our staff regarding the use of our website.
This site does not use (and does not allow third parties to use) the Google analysis tool to monitor or collect personally identifiable information. Google does not associate the IP address with any other data held by Google nor does it attempt to link an IP address with the identity of a user. Google may also communicate this information to third parties where this is required by law or where such third parties process the aforementioned information on behalf of Google.
