1. TYPE OF DATA PROCESSED AND PURPOSES OF PROCESSING

1.1. Browsing data

The IT systems and applications dedicated to the operation of this website acquire, in the course of their normal operation, certain 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 might, through processing and association with data held by third parties, lead to the identification of users connecting to the website. The data collected include the IP addresses or domain names of the computers used by users, the URI (Uniform Resource Identifier) addresses of the resources requested, 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 user's operating system and computer environment. Such data are processed for the time necessary to achieve the purpose for which they are collected, for the sole purpose of obtaining anonymous statistical information on website usage (accesses to the website) and to check its proper functioning. Such data might be used to ascertain liability in the event of cybercrimes against the website.

2. COOKIES

2.1. What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are sent from the website visited by the user to the user's device (usually the browser), where they are stored so that they can recognise that device on the user’s next visit. On each subsequent visit, cookies are sent back from the user's device to the website. Each cookie generally contains: the name of the server from which the cookie was sent; the expiry date; and a value, usually a unique number generated randomly by the computer. The server of the website that transfers the cookie uses this number to recognise the user when the latter returns to a website or navigates from one page to another. Cookies may be installed not only by the same operator of the website visited by the user (first-party cookies), but also by a different website that installs cookies through the first website (third-party cookies) and is able to recognise them. This happens because the visited website may include elements (images, maps, sounds, links to web pages of other domains, etc.) residing on servers other than that of the visited website. Depending on their purpose, cookies are divided into technical cookies and profiling cookies. Technical cookies are used for the sole purpose of "transmitting a communication over an electronic communications network, or to the extent strictly necessary for the provider of an information society service explicitly requested by the subscriber or user to provide such a service". In particular, technical cookies are usually used to ensure efficient browsing between pages, store user preferences (language, country, etc.) and perform computer authentication. Some of these cookies (known as essential or strictly necessary cookies) enable functions without which certain operations would not be possible. Under the aforesaid GDPR, the use of technical cookies does not require users' consent. Technical cookies come alongside so-called analytics cookies if they are used directly by the website operator to collect aggregate information on the number of users and how they visit the website (e.g. the number of pages visited, the place from which users access the website, the frequency and repetition rate of visits, the duration of visits, the browser or terminal from which visits are made, etc.). These cookies allow website owners and/or operators to understand how users interact with the content of the website for the purpose of website optimisation. Profiling cookies are used to track users' browsing, analyse their behaviour for marketing purposes and create profiles on their tastes, habits, choices, etc. in order to send targeted advertising messages based on users’ interests and in line with their preferences expressed while browsing online. Such cookies may only be installed on the user's terminal if the user has given consent in the simplified manner set out in the GDPR. Based on their duration, cookies can be divided into persistent cookies - which are stored on the user’s device until they expire, unless they are removed by the user - and session cookies - which are not stored persistently on the user's device and disappear when the browser is closed.

Disabling/blocking cookies or removing them may, however, prevent the optimal use of certain areas of the website or of certain services and make browsing slower.
