HOW CAN COOKIES BE CLASSIFIED?
Cookies can be classified according to various considerations.
CLASSIFICATION OF COOKIES DEPENDING ON THE SITE THAT GENERATES THEM
1. First-Party Cookies: these are generated by the site you are visiting, and only that site can read these cookies.
2. Third Party Cookies: these are generated by other sites, outside of the one you are visiting. When you visit a page on our Site, you may encounter content posted by external sites such as Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Vimeo, Flickr or others, and these sites may generate cookies. Our Site has no control over them. Please check these sites (see list below) if you would like more information “beyond what you can find on our Site” about such cookies.
CLASSIFICATION OF COOKIES ACCORDING TO THEIR DURATION IN YOUR DEVICE
1. Temporary (or session) cookies: do not have an expiration date, and are deleted as soon as you end your browsing session or close your browser.
2. Persistent cookies: all have an expiration date (shown below for each individual cookie) and remain on your computer even when you have ended your browsing session or after you close your browser. They can be read by the site that created them on subsequent visits to the same site.
CLASSIFICATION OF COOKIES ACCORDING TO THEIR PURPOSE OF USE
– Technical cookies
– Profiling cookies
– Third-party service analytics cookies
– Cookies to integrate third-party software products and functions
Let’s look at them in detail:
Technical Cookies: This type of cookie allows certain sections of the Site to function properly. They are of two categories, temporary (or session) and persistent (see above). These cookies are necessary to properly display the site and in relation to the technical services offered, they will therefore always be used and sent, unless you change the settings in your browser (with the possibility, however, of not taking full advantage or making some services offered by the site unusable).
Third-party service analytics cookies: These cookies are used in order to collect information about users’ use of the site anonymously, such as: pages visited, time spent on the site, source traffic origins, geographic origin, age , gender and interests for the purpose of marketing campaigns. These cookies are sent from third-party domains outside the site.
Cookies to integrate products and functions of third-party software: This type of cookie integrates functionality developed by third parties within the pages of the site such as icons and preferences expressed in social networks for the purpose of sharing site content or for the use of third-party software services (such as software to generate maps and additional software offering additional services). These cookies are sent from third-party domains and partner sites that offer their functionality between site pages.
Profiling cookies: These are those cookies necessary to create user profiles in order to send advertising messages in line with the preferences expressed by the user within the pages of the site.
This Site, according to current regulations, is not required to seek consent for technical cookies, as they are necessary for the normal operation of the Site. Regarding cookies from the statistics service offered by Google Analytics (see below), they can be considered on par with technical cookies for two reasons:
1.collect data in “aggregate” form, not traceable to individual identified or identifiable users
2.The IP of the user’s connecting device (computer, smartphone or tablet) is “anonymized” (modified) becoming unrecognizable, further increasing the level of privacy (see below).
For all other types of cookies, consent may be expressed by the User in one or more of the following ways :
-Through specific configurations of the browser used or the related computer programs used to navigate the pages that make up the Site.
-By changing settings in the use of third-party services.
Either of these solutions may prevent you from using or viewing parts of the Site.

INFORMATION ABOUT GOOGLE ANALYTICS COOKIES
These cookies are called “Third Party Cookies” because Google, which provides the service, is responsible for them. Google Analytics is a Google service of statistics about visits to the Site and makes the data available to the Site owner in an anonymous and “aggregate” form, meaning that it is not possible to link the statistics data back to individual people who have visited the Site. For more information about Google Analytics cookies see the relevant sections on this page.
Please note: the _gat cookie may occur under a compound name. For example, if instead of _gat you see gat_firstaccount, it means that more than one account is used to collect statistical data, and in this case the account name is identified with the suffix “_firstaccount” after “_gat.”
Later on this page you can find links to specific pages on privacy, data processing cookies of third-party Google services.
INFORMATION ABOUT GOOGLE MAPS COOKIES
Our Site may show Google Maps on one or more pages. They generate cookies, which are called “Third Party Cookies” because Google, which provides the service, is responsible for them. Google Maps is a Google service that allows dynamic maps to be generated on the Site, such as the typical map on the “Where we are” page. Although we have no control over the cookies created by Google, they appear to include a mixture of information to measure the number and behavior of users on Google Maps.
On PREF and SID cookies Google states on this page (Privacy and terms) of its site under “Advertising “:
“Most Google users have a preference cookie called “PREF” in their browsers. A browser sends this cookie with requests to Google sites. The PREF cookie may store your preferences and other information, particularly your preferred language (e.g., Italian), the number of search results you wish to display per page (e.g., 10 or 20), and your preference to turn on Google’s SafeSearch filter.”
E:
“Google uses cookies, such as PREF, NID, and SID cookies, to help personalize ads in Google properties, such as Google Search. For example, we use them to store your most recent searches, your previous interactions with an advertiser’s ads or search results, and your visits to an advertiser’s website. This way we can show you personalized ads on Google.”
On SID and HSID cookies google always states on this page(Privacy and terms) of its site under “Security”:
“We use security cookies to authenticate users, prevent fraudulent use of login credentials, and protect user data from unauthorized parties. For example, we use cookies called “SID” and “HSID” containing digitally signed and encrypted records for a user’s Google Account ID and their most recent login date. The combination of these two cookies allows us to block many types of attacks, such as attempts to steal the contents of forms you complete on web pages.”
Later on this page you can find links to specific pages on privacy, data processing cookies of third-party Google services.
YOUTUBE COOKIE INFORMATION
Our Site may use Google’s third-party YouTube service on one or more pages to host one or more videos. When you view a page on our site with an embedded video (“embedded video”) YouTube creates some third-party cookies. These cookies are used by YouTube to store user preferences when viewing pages that contain video content, or for other unspecified purposes. YouTube does not make available the exact details of its cookies and how it uses them. These cookies do not identify you personally unless you are logged into Google, in which case it is linked to your Google account. If you do not want YouTube to collect information about your visit, you can block these cookies individually or totally, as indicated in the “Third-Party Cookies Policy” section at the relevant points.

USE OF ONLINE ANALYTICS SOFTWARE “GOOGLE ANALYTICS” AND RELATED COOKIES
Using anonymized detection of IP addresses
Our Site, in order to collect statistical data about users’ browsing and improve the communication and offering of its services, uses the online data analysis software “Google Analytics”.
This service is provided by the company “Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA” (described simply as “Google” in this text). Google Analytics uses (both temporary and permanent) tracking cookies (which have various expiration dates, as better described on this page) in order to recognize a user who has previously visited pages on our Site. Data collected by such a cookie about the use of pages on our Site are typically transmitted to a Google server in the United States (or other countries) where they are stored.
The data collected by the Google Analytics system covers, for example, information regarding the time spent on the Site, approximate geographic origin, entry and exit pages, visitor traffic origin, etc. Google will use this data to evaluate usage, compile reports on our Site activity, and provide us with additional services related to Site and Internet usage.
The data collected through these cookies will be used in aggregate form. “In aggregate” means that the cookie and tracking systems are never associated with the person but with browsing, so no one will be able to associate your name with the pages or websites you visit.
In addition, important data such as your IP address is “anonymized” for your further peace of mind , as explained below.
On our Site Google Analytics has been equipped with the code “gat._anonymizeIp();” to ensure anonymized detection of IP addresses(so-called IP Masking).
Your IP address (the number assigned to your computer by your internet service provider) is abbreviated and therefore anonymized”” at our initiative “” by Google within the member states of the European Union or in other states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Because of this, usage profiles created by Google Analytics are “anonymized,” making it impossible to trace them back to the actual user. Only in special cases is the entire IP address transmitted to a Google server, and there¬ is shortened.
Your anonymized IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics is not merged with other data held by Google. A transmission of these data to third parties via Google may only occur as a result of legal requirements or as part of data processing for third parties. Under no circumstances will Google group your personal data with other data collected by Google.
Google adheres to the personal data principles of the U.S. Safe Harbor agreement and is registered in Safe Harbor, a program of the U.S. Department of Commerce.
By using our Site you manifest your consent to the processing of data collected through Google Analytics and the manner of data processing as well as the purpose described above.
You can reject and/or block cookies at any time through your browser settings, although this may result in your inability to use some of the Site’s features (see how to do this on this page).
Another way you can prevent the detection of cookie-generated data about your use of our Site (including your IP address) is to download and install the “Google Analytics Opt-Out Browser Add-on,” an extension for your browser, which you can find at this link:
