EU Regulation 2016/679
On 25 May 2018, the EU General Data Protection Regulation 2016/679 on the protection of natural persons with regard to the processing of personal data (hereinafter GDPR or the Regulation) came into effect.
The processing of personal data collected by this site and the use of cookies are governed by the privacy laws and regulations in force, for the purpose of implementing the technical and organizational measures adopted by the data controller for the protection of the rights and the liberties of the data subject.
For more information on the types of personal data processed, the procedures and purposes of the processing and how the data subject can exercise his/her rights spelled out in the GDPR, we invite users to read the relevant Privacy Information Notice posted on this site.
For information on the use of cookies, we invite users to view the Extended Cookie Information Notice posted on this site (
Cookie Policy), which is provided pursuant to and for the purposes of the provisions of the Italian Data Protection Authority Decision “Simplified Arrangements to Provide Information and Obtain Consent Regarding Cookies - 8 May 2014”.
Definitions
- Processing: any operation or set of operations which is performed on personal data or on sets of personal data, whether or not by automated means, such as collection, recording, organization, structuring, storage, adaptation or alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination or otherwise making available, alignment or combination, restriction and erasure or destruction.
- Data controller: the natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body that, alone or jointly with others, determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data; where the purposes and means of such processing are determined by Union or Member State law, the controller or the specific criteria for its nomination may be provided for by Union or Member State law.
- Personal data: any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (“data subject”); an identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data or an online identifier, or to one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person.
- Consent of the data subject: any freely given, specific, informed and unambiguous indication of the data subject's wishes by which he or she, by a statement or by a clear affirmative action, signifies agreement to the processing of his/her personal data.
- Recipient: a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or another body, to which the personal data are disclosed, whether a third party or not. However, public authorities which may receive personal data in the framework of a particular inquiry in accordance with Union or Member State law shall not be regarded as recipients; the processing of that data by those public authorities shall be in compliance with the applicable data protection rules according to the purposes of the processing.
- Third party: a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or body other than the data subject, controller, processor and persons who, under the direct authority of the controller or processor, are authorized to process personal data.
- Profiling: any form of automated processing of personal data consisting of the use of personal data to evaluate certain personal aspects relating to a natural person, in particular to analyse or predict aspects concerning that natural person's performance at work, economic situation, health, personal preferences, interests, reliability, behaviour, location or movements.
- Cookies: small text files that are sent to and stored on the user’s terminal equipment by the websites visited by the user. They are sent back to the originating websites on each subsequent visit by the user.
- Technical cookies: these cookies can be grouped into navigation and session cookies. They allow the user to navigate and use the functionalities of the website (for instance, make an online purchase or authenticate himself/herself to gain access to a reserved area). They are used for navigation purposes and for the provision of the services requested by the user. They are not used for other purposes and are usually directly installed by the website’s data controller. Without the use of this type of cookies, certain operations would either be impossible to perform or would be more complicated and/or less safe (for example, they allow and make possible session-based user authentication).
- Analytics cookies: these cookies are tools providing website analytical services that anonymously and in aggregate report on the way users use the website, how web traffic arrives to the site, and the number of visits and their duration. These cookies are not necessary for optimal use of the website and thus can be disabled. The Italian Data Protection Authority has established (see Decision of 8 May 2014) that analytics cookies can be equated to technical cookies insofar as they are used directly by the website controller to collect aggregate information on the number of visitors and the pattern of visits to the website. Under these conditions, the same rules apply to the analytics cookies and the technical cookies as far as notice to the user and user consent are concerned.
- Third party cookies: cookies installed by a website other than the one the user is visiting. This happens because the visited website may contain items, such as images, maps, audio files and links to individual web pages on different domains, that are located on servers other than the one where the visited site is hosted.
- Profiling cookies: these are cookies used to track the net navigation pattern of the user and create user profiles on user tastes, habits, choices, etc. These cookies can be used to send advertising messages in line with the user’s online navigation preferences.

During normal operation, the computer systems and software procedures controlling the functioning of the website acquire some data that are transmitted as an intrinsic part of the internet communication protocols.

The duration of persistent cookies is established by the server at the time they are created. In some cases, an expiry date is set, while in other cases the cookie duration is unlimited.
