What are cookies?
Cookies are strings of text that websites visited by users (so-called Publishers, or "first parties") or different sites or web servers (so-called "third parties") place and store within the user's terminal device same, so that they are then re-transmitted to the same sites on the next visit.*

What are they for?
Cookies are used for different purposes: performing computer authentication, monitoring sessions, storing information on specific configurations regarding users who access the server, storing preferences, or to facilitate the use of online content, such as to keep track of items in a shopping cart or information for filling out a computer form, etc.; but they can also be used to profile the user, i.e. to "observe" their behavior, for example, to send targeted advertisements, measure the effectiveness of the advertising message, and adopt consequent commercial strategies. In this case, we talk about profiling cookies.

What are technical cookies?
These are cookies that are used to navigate or provide a service requested by the user. They are not used for other purposes and are normally installed directly by the website owner.
Without the use of these cookies, some operations could not be carried out or would be more complex and/or less secure.

Are analytical cookies technical cookies?
Analytics can be assimilated to technical cookies if used to optimize the site directly by the owner of the site itself, who will be able to collect statistical information in aggregate form on the number of users and how they visit the site.
If, however, the processing of such statistical analyses is entrusted to third parties, the user data must be previously minimized and cannot be combined with other processing or transmitted to further third parties. Under these conditions, the same rules apply to analytics cookies, in terms of information and consent, as provided for technical cookies.*

What cookies does this site use?
This site uses third-party cookies to:

1. Monitor visits and obtain statistics on user activity on the site

• Google Analytics (GA4)

Google Analytics is necessary to monitor visits and to obtain aggregate statistics on site activity. We do not know your identifier and have no possibility of identifying the user visiting the website. However, Google can do it. The data processing takes place in Europe if you are a browser connected by a European IP. Here is the link to the privacy policy: https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/11593727?hl=en

• Remarketing with Google

Remarketing with Google is a remarketing and behavioral targeting service provided by Google LLC or by Google Ireland Limited, depending on the location in which the site is used, which connects the tracking activity carried out by Google Analytics and its Cookies with the network of Google Ads advertising and the Doubleclick Cookie.
Essentially, Google assigns an ID to the website browser, stored in a cookie. This ID will then be necessary to personalize ads on the Google network and on all websites that use Adsense.
The data processing takes place in Europe if you are a browser connected by a European IP. Here is the link to the privacy policy: https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/12017362?hl=en

• Facebook

Facebook identifies the user with their own IDs in order to personalize advertising and profile the user. These IDs are then associated with your Facebook profile (if active) and, as a consequence of having browsed our website, you may find yourself targeted ads on Facebook and Instagram.
In essence, by browsing our website, Facebook installs a cookie on your hard disk, and subsequently, when you browse Facebook or Instagram, these two platforms will search for the cookie and then target advertisements according to the instructions provided by it.
The processing is entirely by Facebook and we have no way of identifying the user.
The service is provided by Facebook Inc. or by Facebook Ireland Ltd, depending on the location of the site visitor. The data processing takes place in Europe if you are a browser connected by a European IP.

• PHP

PHP transparently supports HTTP cookies. Cookies are a mechanism for storing data in the remote browser and thus tracking or identifying returning users. Cookies are part of the HTTP header, so setcookie() must be called before any output is sent to the browser. This is the same limitation that header() has. You can use output buffering functions to delay the output of your script until you decide whether or not to set cookies or send headers. Here is the link to the privacy policy:

What are my rights and how can I exercise them?

a) Rights of the data subject

The user, in their capacity as a data subject, has the rights set out in art. 15 et seq. of the Regulation, specifically:

• RIGHT OF ACCESS (art. 15 UK-GDPR)

The data subject has the right to obtain confirmation of the existence or non-existence of personal data concerning them, even if not yet registered, and their communication in an intelligible form.

• RIGHT TO RECTIFICATION (art. 16 UK-GDPR)

The data subject has the right to obtain the rectification of inaccurate personal data concerning them and the integration of incomplete data.

• RIGHT TO ERASURE (art. 17 UK-GDPR)

The data subject has the right to obtain the erasure of personal data in the presence of specific reasons such as the withdrawal of consent, opposition to processing, or if the data are no longer necessary for the purposes for which they were collected and processed or in case of unlawful processing. It will not always be possible to proceed with erasure, but it will certainly be the duty of the Data Controller to provide adequate motivation.

• RIGHT TO RESTRICTION OF PROCESSING (art. 18 UK-GDPR)

The data subject has the right to obtain the restriction of processing in the presence of specific hypotheses such as, for example, in the case of a request for rectification or opposition during the evaluation period of the requests.

• RIGHT TO DATA PORTABILITY (art. 20 UK-GDPR)

If the processing is based on consent or on a contract and is carried out using automated tools, the data subject can receive them in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format or ask to transmit them to another controller.

• RIGHT TO OBJECT (art. 21 UK-GDPR)

The data subject has the right to object, in whole or in part:

1. for legitimate reasons to the processing of personal data concerning them, even if pertinent to the purpose of collection;
2. to the processing of personal data concerning them for the pursuit of purposes not contemplated by art. 2.

The user can submit a request for opposition to the processing of their personal data under article 21 of the UK-GDPR in which to give evidence of the reasons justifying the opposition: the Data Controller reserves the right to evaluate the request, which would not be accepted in case of the existence of compelling legitimate reasons to proceed with the processing that prevail over the interests, rights, and freedoms of the user.

• RIGHT TO LODGE A COMPLAINT

The data subject has the right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority under article 77 of the UK-GDPR if they believe that the processing of their data is contrary to the legislation in force.

b) How to exercise rights:

The data subject can exercise the rights mentioned in the previous article at any time by contacting the Data Controller at the addresses listed above.
