Data Controller Mario Melazzini  m.melazzini@icloud.com

Under European Regulation 679/2016 (GDPR) and national legislation (“General Data Protection Regulation”), this website provides for protection of persons and other subjects with regard to the processing of personal data. According to this legislation, processing of details will be based on the principles of propriety, lawfulness, transparency, and the protection of personal privacy and rights. Therefore, we provide you with the following information: this site uses technical cookies for different purposes, which is why we want to explain what cookies are and how to use them on the website. Instead, other cookies (third-party cookies) are conveyed and controlled by third parties. This website uses other types of cookies. If you’re not familiar with cookies, read the information carefully:

 

What are cookies and what are they used for?

Cookies are small text files that the sites visited by the user send to its terminal (usually the browser), where they are stored before being transmitted back to the same sites at the next visit of the same user (first party cookies). While navigating on the site the user may also receive cookies from other websites (“third-party” cookies), this happened because there may be some elements for example images, maps, sounds, specific links to pages on other domains. In other words, third party cookies are those set by a domain other than the one being visited. The duration of cookies is strictly limited to the working session (session cookies), and in this case, these are deleted when the browser is closed. Some other cookies may have an expiry date. Those will remain stored and active in your hard-disk until such expiry date, continuing to collect information during different browsing sessions (persistent cookies). Purpose of treatment and purpose of session technical cookies. Cookies have different functions. Some are needed to allow you to browse the site and use its functionality (technical cookies). Others are used to obtain statistical information, in an aggregate form or not, about the number of users accessing the site and how the site is used (tracking or analytics cookies). Finally, others are aimed at creating user profiles and are used to send advertising messages in line with the preferences shown by the user during the navigation on the web (profiling cookies). Technical cookies. Technical cookies are those cookies used for the sole purpose of allowing you to navigate the site and enabling you to use its functionalities. It’s always about first-party cookies, as they are conveyed directly by us on the website. Some technical cookies are essential for providing an optimal browsing experience or allowing you to authenticate on the website as when you make a purchase on the site or enter a restricted access area (navigation cookie). Navigation Cookies are normally session cookies which are automatically deleted when you close the browser. Cookies are useful because they allow you to store some of your preferences (for example language or country of origin) without resetting them during subsequent visits (functionality cookies). For this reason, the functionality cookies are often persistent cookies because they remain stored on your computer even after the browser is closed, until their scheduled expiry date or until you decide to delete them. Tracking or analytics cookies. Analytics cookies are used to obtain statistical information, in an aggregate form or not, about the number of users accessing the site and how the site is used (tracking or analytics cookies). This website uses third-party cookies since they are not conveyed directly by us, but by third parties. Third-party analytics cookies are installed on the Website only subject to your consent. These cookies are not anonymized and, therefore, other third parties cannot access disaggregated analytic data at an IP address level (in other words, using these cookies, third parties couldn’t be traced back to your identity)

 

 

For this reason, a specific banner is clearly displayed when you access the Website, informing you that (i) third-party analytics cookies are used on the Website and that (ii) closing the banner, scrolling down the home page or clicking any element on the home page outside the banner, you are giving your consent to the use of cookies. In the event that you express your consent to the use of cookies in this mode, we will track your consent through a dedicated technical cookie. In this way we will avoid you displaying the cookies banner during your following visits to the Website. Please take into account that if you remove this technical cookie from your browser the track of your consent will be lost and therefore, the cookies banner will be displayed again during your following visit to the Website. Of course, you are free to block the installation of analytics cookies in any moment and this will not compromise the possibility to visit the Website and benefit from its contents. Please read carefully the third parties cookies policies, following the links specified in the above table. Profiling cookies. Profiling cookies are aimed at creating user profiles and are used to send advertising messages in line with the preferences shown by the user during the navigation on the web. In this way, the advertising messages that you will visualize on our site will be more interesting for you. The installation of these requires your prior consent in accordance with current data protection legislation. First-party and third-party profiling cookies are not installed by this site. To disable profiling cookies, modify the settings of your browser as indicated below.
