Purpose of Using First-Party Cookies

Technical cookies may be session cookies, used to enable efficient navigation of the website, to establish the browsing session, and to manage the display of the cookie policy notice and the User’s related choice. The Data Controller uses the data generated by these cookies to assist with the internal analysis and monitoring of traffic generated by Users (specifically, visits and pages viewed) and to enable improvements in terms of functionality and navigation.

Use of First-Party Cookies

Session cookies are strictly limited to the transmission of session identifiers—consisting of random numbers generated by the server—which do not allow for the personal identification of individual Users. The following data is processed anonymously, without the direct collection of personal data that could identify the user through Google Analytics cookies: IP address (which also allows for geolocation); time and origin of visits; any previous visits by the same user; and other parameters related to the operating system, the computing environment, and the devices used.

Lifespan of first-party cookies and data generated by Google Analytics

Session cookies are not stored permanently on the User’s computer and are deleted when the browser is closed. Google stores the data generated by Google Analytics as specified in the cookie policy available at: https://developers.google.com/analytics/devguides/collection/analyticsjs/cookie-usage.

Liability

The Data Controller undertakes to use the data generated by cookies exclusively for the purposes indicated above. The Data Controller is not responsible for Google’s processing of data through the system described above, and merely acknowledges the assurances provided by Google that it complies with the data protection provisions of the “Privacy Shield” agreement signed by the European Commission and the U.S. Department of Commerce.

The data generated by cookies regarding the User’s use of the Site (including the IP address) is transmitted to and stored on Google’s servers. Google uses this data to analyze browsing behavior on the Site and to provide the Data Controller with reports on visits to the Site. Google may also transfer this information to third parties where required by law or where such third parties process the information on Google’s behalf.

Google's Privacy Policy for the Google Analytics service is available at http://www.google.com/analytics/learn/privacy.html.

Google's Privacy Policy is available at http://www.google.com/intl/en/policies/privacy/.

Without prejudice to the obligations imposed on the Data Controller by national law, Google, in its capacity as an independent data controller, bears sole responsibility (under civil and criminal law) for the processing of data carried out through the aforementioned system.

Consequences of Refusing Consent to Treatment

As explained on Google’s website at https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/181881?hl=it, to opt out of Google Analytics’ use of cookies, the user must change their browser settings by downloading the Google Analytics JavaScript opt-out add-on (ga.js, analytics.js, dc.js), available at https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en
