DATA PROCESSING LOCATION
Processing operations connected to the web services of this website take place at the registered office of the Data Controller and are carried out exclusively by personnel specifically designated and authorised to process the data.
Where necessary, the data may also be processed by:
- personnel of the company responsible for maintaining the technological part of the website;
- personnel of the company providing the web space on which the website is hosted.
TYPES OF PROCESSED DATA
- a) Navigation Data
The IT systems and software procedures used to operate this website acquire, during their normal operation, certain personal data whose transmission is implicit in the use of Internet communication protocols.
This information is not collected in order to be associated with identified data subjects, but by its very nature could, through processing and association with data held by third parties, allow users to be identified.
This category of data includes the IP addresses or domain names of the computers used by users connecting to the website, the URI — Uniform Resource Identifier — addresses of the requested resources, the time of the request, the method used to submit the request to the server, the size of the file received in response, the numerical code indicating the status of the response given by the server — successful, error, etc. — and other parameters relating to the user’s operating system and IT environment.
These data are used solely to obtain anonymous statistical information on the use of the website and to check that it is functioning correctly, and are deleted immediately after processing.
The data could be used to ascertain liability in the event of hypothetical computer crimes against the website. The legal basis for this processing is the legitimate interest of the Data Controller in the technical management of the functionality and security of the website.
- b) Data voluntarily provided by the user
The optional, explicit and voluntary sending of emails to the addresses indicated on this website entails the subsequent acquisition of the sender’s address, which is necessary in order to reply to requests, as well as any other personal data included in the message.
Specific summary notices will progressively be provided or displayed on the pages of the website prepared for particular services on request.
- c) Cookies
Like virtually all websites, our website also uses cookies. Cookies are small text files that websites visited by the user — as well as other websites or web servers — send and store on the user’s computer or mobile device, to then be sent back to the same websites or web servers upon the user’s next visit, thereby transmitting information.
Cookies have become essential tools because they allow modern websites to function at their best, enabling maximum personalisation, interaction and smooth browsing. However, they can also be used to monitor the user’s browsing activity and then send advertising messages in line with that activity.
Cookies may be session cookies, if they expire when the browser is closed, or persistent cookies, if they remain until a set expiry date, even years later. They may be first-party or third-party cookies; in the latter case, they are set by a website or web server other than the one the user is visiting at that moment. They may be technical cookies, which are necessary, and sometimes essential, for the full or improved use of the website, or profiling cookies, which are intended to create a profile of the user in order to send them advertising messages in line with the preferences expressed during previous browsing.
The Italian Data Protection Authority considers technical cookies to include session cookies, functionality cookies and — only under certain conditions — analytics cookies. In particular, in its measure of 8 May 2014, the Authority clarified that analytics cookies may be treated as technical cookies only if used for website optimisation purposes directly by the website owner, who may collect information in aggregate form on the number of users and how they visit the website.
For more information on the types of cookies, their characteristics and how they work, please consult the websites http://www.allaboutcookies.org, www.youronlinechoices.com, http://cookiepedia.co.uk and the specific measure of the Italian Data Protection Authority mentioned above.
