WHAT INFORMATION DO WE COLLECT?

Navigation data

The IT systems and software procedures used to ensure the functioning of this website acquire, during their normal operation, some personal data whose transmission is implicit in the use of Internet communication protocols. This information is not collected to be associated with identified data subjects, but by its very nature could, through processing and association with data held by third parties, allow users to be identified. This category of data includes IP addresses or domain names of computers used by users who connect to the site, URI (Uniform Resource Identifier) addresses of requested resources, the time of the request, the method used to submit the request to the server, the size of the file obtained in response, the numerical code indicating the status of the response given by the server (successful, error, etc..) and other parameters relating to the operating system and computer environment of the user. This data is used for the sole purpose of obtaining anonymous statistical information on the use of the site and to check its correct functioning, and is deleted immediately after processing. The data could be used to ascertain responsibility in case of hypothetical computer crimes against the site.

What are cookies

A cookie is a small text file containing a certain amount of information exchanged between a website and your terminal (usually your browser) and is normally used by the website operator to store the information necessary to improve navigation within the site or to send advertising messages in line with the preferences expressed by the user when surfing the web. When you visit the same site or any other site again the user's device verifies the presence of a recognized cookie, so that it can read the information contained in it. The different cookies contain different information and are used for different purposes (efficient navigation in the pages of the same site, profiling in order to send targeted promotional messages, analysis of the number of visits to the site). During navigation, the user may also receive cookies sent by different sites or web servers (so-called third parties) on his terminal, which may contain certain elements (e.g. images, maps, sounds, specific links to pages of other domains) present on the site the user is visiting. More generally, some cookies (called session cookies) are assigned to the user's device only for the duration of access to the site and expire automatically when the browser is closed. Other cookies (called persistent cookies) remain on your device for an extended period of time. The specific purposes of the different types of cookies installed on this site are described below. You can disable cookies by following the information below.
