This information on the use of cookies is provided to the user in implementation of the provision of the Guarantor for the protection of personal data of 8 May 2014 "Identification of simplified procedures for the information and acquisition of consent for the use of cookies" and in compliance with art. 13 and 14 of Regulation (EU) 2016/679.

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

Definitions

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, according to the user's preferences, by the individual browser on the specific device used (computer, tablet, smartphone).

Similar technologies, such as web beacons, clear GIFs, and all forms of local storage introduced with HTML5, can be used to collect information about user behavior and use of services.

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

Types of cookies

Depending 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 sites and are used to manage login and access to reserved functions. The duration of cookies is limited to the work session. Their deactivation compromises the use of the services accessible from login. The public part remains normally usable. 
    This website uses only one such cookie.
  • Profiling cookies. These are persistent cookies used to identify (anonymously or not) the user's preferences and improve their browsing experience. 
    This site does not use cookies of this type.
Duration of cookies

The cookie used by this site expires when it logs out or after a time of user inactivity set by the server.

How to disable cookies (opt-out)

You can deny consent to the use of cookies by selecting the appropriate setting on your browser: unauthenticated browsing on the portal will still be available in all its features.  Below we provide links that explain how to disable cookies for the most popular browsers (for other browsers that may be used, we suggest looking for this option in the help of the software normally available through 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

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

Warning: disabling the technical cookie compromises the use of the site's features reserved for registered users. On the contrary, the usability of public content is also possible by completely disabling cookies.
