Cookies and Privacy

 

 

Information on cookies according to European legislation

The website you are browsing complies with European legislation on the use of cookies. To make this site work properly, we sometimes place small data files called "cookies" on your device. The site uses its own profiling cookies or cookies introduced by third-party services that the site itself uses.

 

What are Cookies?

Cookies are small that are stored on your computer when you visit a website.

These are used to personalize user browsing and collect automatic information on access and use of the site.

When the website is reliable, as in the case of our portal, cookies help to improve and speed up its navigation, as well as facilitate your next visit by making the site more useful for your needs.

This is the sequence of setting (or creating) a cookie:

·      _cc781905 -5cde-3194-bb3b-136bad5cf58d_  When you visit a website for the first time, it asks you to accept a cookie for a specific domain. If you accept, the cookie is saved on your computer.

·      _cc781905 -5cde-3194-bb3b-136bad5cf58d_  Every time you view a resource of that domain, your browser sends the cookie.

 

Is it possible to block cookies?

Yes, you can block or allow cookies on all websites or choose the sites for which they are allowed.

 

Is it appropriate to block all cookies?

Not necessarily. Blocking all cookies can actually help protect your privacy, but limit the functionality available on some websites. It is therefore advisable to choose the websites for which you allow cookies. It is therefore possible to initially block all cookies and then allow those necessary for sites that are trusted.

 

What are temporary cookies?

Temporary cookies (or session cookies) are removed from your computer when you close your browser. They are used to store temporary information, such as the items in your shopping cart.

 

What are persistent cookies?

Permanent cookies (or saved cookies) remain stored on the computer even after closing the browser. They are used to store information, such as the login name and password, so as to avoid the user having to re-enter them each time he visits a specific site. Permanent cookies can remain on your computer for days, months or even years.

 

What are the cookies of the websites displayed?

The cookies of the websites displayed derive from the website viewed and can be permanent or temporary. They can be used to store information that will be reused the next time you visit the site.

 

What are third party cookies?

Third-party cookies derive from advertisements from other sites, such as pop-ups or advertising banners, present on the website displayed. They can be used to record the use of the website for marketing purposes.

·      _cc781905 -5cde-3194-bb3b-136bad5cf58d_  Close the last tab in a window; the window is also closed automatically.

How does it work

·      _cc781905 -5cde-3194-bb3b-136bad5cf58d_  Browsing history is not recorded. Web pages you view and files you download in incognito mode are not recorded in your browsing and download histories.

·      _cc781905 -5cde-3194-bb3b-136bad5cf58d_  Extensions are disabled . Extensions are automatically disabled in incognito windows.
