This cookie policy is provided to the user in implementation of the measure of the Garante per la protezione dei dati personali of 8 May 2014, "Identification of simplified arrangements for the information notice and the acquisition of consent for the use of cookies", and in compliance with Articles 13 and 14 of Regulation (EU) 2016/679.

This site uses a cookie to ensure the proper functioning of its procedures. This page provides information on the use of cookies and similar technologies, how they are used, and how to manage them.

Definitions

Cookies are short pieces 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 several days (persistent cookies). Cookies are stored, according to the user's preferences, by the individual browser on the specific device used (computer, tablet, smartphone).

Similar technologies, such as web beacons, transparent GIFs and all forms of local storage introduced with HTML5, may be used to collect information on user behaviour and the use of services.

In the remainder of this document, we will refer to cookies and all similar technologies simply by using the term "cookies".

Types of cookies

Based on the characteristics and use of cookies, we can distinguish different categories:

  • Technical cookies. These are strictly necessary cookies, essential for the proper functioning of the websites, and are used to manage login and access to restricted functions. The duration of the cookies is limited to the working session. Disabling them compromises the use of the services accessible via login. The public section normally remains usable. 
    This website uses exclusively one cookie of this type.
  • Profiling cookies. These are permanent cookies used to identify the user’s preferences (anonymously or otherwise) and improve their browsing experience. 
    This website does not use cookies of this type.
Cookie duration

The cookie used by this site expires at logout or after a period of user inactivity set by the server.

How to disable cookies (opt-out)

You can refuse consent to the use of cookies by selecting the appropriate setting on your browser: non-authenticated browsing on the portal will in any case remain available with all its functionality.  Below we provide links explaining how to disable cookies for the most widely used browsers (for any other browsers you may use, we suggest looking for this option in the software help, normally available via the F1 key):

Internet Explorer: http://windows.microsoft.com/it-IT/windows7/Block-enable-or-allow-cookies

Google Chrome: https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/95647?hl=it-IT&p=cpn_cookies

Mozilla Firefox:  https://support.mozilla.org/it/products/firefox/protect-your-privacy/cookies

Apple Safari:  http://www.apple.com/legal/privacy/it/cookies/

Alternatively, it is possible to disable only Google Analytics cookies by using the add-on for opting out provided by Google for the main browsers.

Warning: disabling the technical cookie compromises the use of the site's functions reserved for registered users. By contrast, public content can still be accessed even if cookies are completely disabled.
