Data processing purpose and type

 

1. Browsing data

The IT systems and software procedures used for running this Site, during the normal course of operation, acquire certain types of personal data that are transmitted as an inherent part of Internet communication protocols. This information is not collected deliberately for association with identifiable subjects however, due to its intrinsic nature, when combined with the data of third-party entities, it could allow users/visitors to be identified (e.g. through IP address, domain names of computers used by Users to connect to site, code indicating server data reply status, browser type, beginning and end navigation session time stamp, account id and activities carried out in the Site if available, etc.).

These types of data are collected only for the purpose of generating statistical information (in anonymous form, therefore), and to ensure that the Site is operating correctly. Data relating to web contacts is not stored for more than six months, unless a need arises to investigate computer crime involving the site. No data originating from the web service will be further communicated or publicized.

 

2. Cookies

2.1 General information on cookies

Cookies are small text files sent by Internet sites to the device of users visiting their sites (normally to the browser). They are stored here for retransmission to the same sites whenever the site is revisited from the same device. Sites can also consent to the transmission of third-party cookies, that is, those generated by Internet sites different to the site the user is actually visiting (by means of objects present on the page such as banners, images, maps, sounds, ad-hoc links to web pages in other domains).

Depending on their duration, two types of cookies can be distinguished: session cookies (that is, temporary cookies that are deleted automatically from the device at the end of a browsing session on browser closure) and persistent cookies (those that remain stored on the device until their expiry date or deletion by the user).

Cookies serve different purposes, primarily the transmission of communications and provision of user-requested services. More specifically, they enable Internet site functionality and optimisation, permit computerised authentication procedures with abuse prevention, also session monitoring and improvement of user browsing experience. In the latter case, for example, they allow connection to Reserved Areas to remain active when browsing other pages on the website - so eliminating the need to re-enter User-Id and Password – together with storage of user-specific information (such as preferences, browser type and computer used).

The above-mentioned cookies are referred to as "technical cookies" (user consent is not required for their use) given that, without them, some of the declared operations could not be executed or would become more complex and/or less safe. On the other hand, if cookies are used for other purposes, such as behaviour analysis in order to send personalised promo/advertising messages (a.k.a. profiling cookies) or, using the third-party services, to obtain aggregated information on user numbers and site visit behaviour patterns (a.k.a. "analytics cookies"), then user consent is necessary. In fact, before sending these types of cookie to the device, pursuant to currently applicable legislation (Privacy Code and General Provisions of the Italian Data Protection Authority of 8th May 2014), when the Home page or other website page is first accessed, a banner opens in the foreground briefly notifying of the use of cookies and the need for the user to give their consent. This can be provided by the user either continuing to browse by selecting an element underneath the banner or by closing the banner altogether.

In any case, cookies can be read and modified exclusively by the Internet site that has generated them; they cannot be used to call up any kind of data from the user’s device nor can they transmit computer viruses. Given that cookie-type functions can also be performed by other kinds of technology, within the context of this web privacy policy declaration, the term "cookie" is used to refer to cookies and all similar technologies.
