What cookies are
Cookies are small text files that the websites you visit send to your device, where they are stored so as to be sent back to those websites on your next visit. Alongside cookies there are other passive tracking tools that make it possible to identify a user or a device.
Technical cookies
This website uses technical cookies, which are necessary for it to work and to remain secure. No consent is required for these cookies under article 122 of Legislative Decree no. 196/2003. They comprise:
- session cookies of the WordPress platform, necessary for browsing and for sending the contact form;
- cookies that store the cookie preferences you have expressed, so that the banner is not shown again at every visit;
- technical cookies of the hosting service, used for cache management and load balancing.
Third-party cookies and tools
This website installs no profiling cookies of its own. Any third-party tools are activated only after your freely given, specific, informed and unambiguous consent, expressed through the banner shown on your first visit. Without consent, the scripts concerned are blocked in advance and are not executed.
An up-to-date list of the cookies actually present on the website, with their purpose, duration and provider, can be consulted at any time from the preferences panel opened from the banner.
Visit statistics: Google Analytics 4
Subject to your consent, this website uses Google Analytics 4, a measurement service provided by Google Ireland Limited (Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland). The service records, in aggregate form, the number of visits, the pages viewed and the time spent on them, the source of the traffic and the approximate geographical area. It does not make it possible to identify visitors by name.
The Google Analytics scripts are blocked in advance and are executed only after consent has been given through the banner: without consent no analytics cookie is installed and no data is sent to Google. Google Consent Mode v2 is enabled, which communicates the state of your consent to Google.
The cookies used are _ga and _ga_<property identifier>, lasting up to two years, and serve to distinguish users and to maintain session state. Google Analytics 4 does not retain the IP address, which is used to derive the approximate location and then discarded.
The processing may involve a transfer of data to the United States, made on the basis of the European Commission’s adequacy decision of 10 July 2023 concerning the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework, to which Google LLC adheres. Google’s privacy notice is available at policies.google.com/privacy.
How to give, change or withdraw consent
On your first visit you may accept, refuse or customise the use of non-technical cookies through the banner. Refusing is as immediate as accepting and does not affect your browsing. Consent may be changed or withdrawn at any time by opening the preferences panel from the link at the foot of every page.
Managing cookies from your browser
You may also manage your preferences directly from your browser settings, preventing cookies from being installed or deleting those already stored. Disabling technical cookies may impair the correct working of the website. Instructions are available on the support pages of the main browsers: Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Microsoft Edge, Apple Safari.
