TYPES OF DATA PROCESSED AND PURPOSES OF PROCESSING
In the course of browsing this site, some personal data of users may be processed, which can be schematized as follows.
(a) Data voluntarily provided by the user
The data voluntarily and freely provided by the user by sending electronic mail messages to the email addresses indicated on the site will be acquired and stored by the Data Controller, in electronic form, for purposes of managing correspondence, providing the service requested by the user and to verify the way the site is used and the quality of the services offered. In particular, in addition to the name and e-mail address of the user, necessary to respond to related requests, other personal data to which the electronic communication eventually refers or that are otherwise contained within it may be acquired.
b) Navigation data
Some data relating to the user’s navigation on the site may also be acquired. This includes, but is not limited to, demographic data, geographic data, and other data more specifically related to user behavior on the site. This data is collected solely for the purpose of obtaining anonymous statistical information about the use of the site. Such information, however, if processed and associated with data held by third parties (and therefore not in the possession of the Data Controller), could allow the identity of the user to be traced. Navigation data, in any case, are not used by the Data Controller to carry out direct user profiling activities.
c) Cookies
WHAT COOKIES ARE AND WHAT THEY ARE USED FOR
Cookies are small text files that sites visited by the user send and record on the user’s computer or mobile device, to be then transmitted back to the same sites on the next visit.
With cookies, a site can remember a user’s actions and preferences so that he or she does not have to perform them again each time he or she accesses the site or when navigating from one page to another on it.
Cookies are usually used to perform automatic authentication, session tracking, and storage of specific information about users accessing the server; they may also contain unique identification codes that allow the site operator to keep track of the user’s browsing and recognize the user’s device.
Users can disable or accept cookies by properly configuring their browsers. In some cases, however, the use of cookies is essential for the operation of the site and, therefore, some operations may not be possible if they are disabled.
TYPES OF COOKIES
There are different types of cookies, which, according to their peculiarities and functions, are classified into:
– session cookies (which are stored temporarily on the user’s device, allowing websites to link the actions performed by the same during browsing, and which are automatically deleted at the end of the browser session) or permanent cookies (which, on the other hand, remain active on the user’s device until their natural expiration or manual deletion and allow to permanently store the user’s preferences with respect to a given website);
– technical cookies (which are used for the sole purpose of carrying out the transmission of a communication over an electronic communication network, or to the extent strictly necessary to provide a service explicitly requested by the user) or profiling cookies (which, on the other hand, are intended to create profiles relating to the user, in order to send him or her advertising messages in line with the preferences expressed by the same during navigation)
– first-party cookies (which are set and managed by the owner of the site visited by the user) or third-party cookies (which are set and managed by a third party with respect to the site that the user is visiting).
TYPES OF COOKIES USED BY THIS SITE
In full respect of the user’s rights and in order to enable correct and informed browsing, we specify that this site uses the following types of cookies.
(a) First-party cookies.
The first-party cookies used on the site are of an exclusively technical nature and can be distinguished into navigation cookies, which allow to improve the user’s browsing experience, and functionality cookies, which are necessary to deliver the service or improve it.
b) Third-party cookies
This site uses so-called “analytical cookies”, made and made available by Google Analytics and aimed at allowing mere statistical analysis of access to the site and monitoring its proper functioning. For detailed information regarding this type of cookie, the user is invited to consult Google’s policy, which can be reached at the link
https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=it.
In addition to analytical cookies, this site also uses so-called “widgets.” The site uses, in particular, LinkedIn and Google Maps widgets, which, if used by the user, will send one or more cookies on behalf of the chosen platform. The operator of this site has nor can have any control over the content and method of data processing operated through these widgets and therefore the user is invited to make an informed use of them, after consulting the policies of LinkedIn(https://www.linkedin.com/legal/cookie-policy), and Google(https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=it).
On the other hand, no profiling cookies are used on this site.
