This website, in compliance with Regulation (EU) No. 679/2016 on the protection of personal data (GDPR) and national legislation – Legislative Decree of 30 June 2003 No. 196 (known as the Privacy Code) and its subsequent amendments, respects and protects the privacy of visitors and users, making every possible and proportionate effort not to infringe users’ rights.
The information provided in this privacy notice applies exclusively to the online activities of this website and is valid for users and visitors only. It does not apply to information collected through channels other than this website. The purpose of this privacy notice is to provide maximum transparency regarding the information collected by the site and how it is used.
1) Legal basis for data processing
This website processes data on the basis of consent. By using or consulting this website, users and/or visitors explicitly accept this privacy notice and consent to the processing of their personal data in accordance with the methods and purposes described below, including any disclosure to third parties if required for the provision of a service.
Providing data and therefore giving consent to the collection and processing of data is optional. The user may refuse consent or revoke consent already given at any time (via the Contact link at the bottom of the page). Refusing consent may make it impossible to provide certain services, and the browsing experience on the site may be affected.
From 24/05/2023 onwards, this website will process certain data on the basis of the legitimate interests of the Data Controller.
2) Purpose of data collection
Like all websites, this site uses log files in which information collected automatically during user visits is stored.
The information collected may include:
- Internet Protocol (IP) address;
- browser type and parameters of the device used to connect to the site;
- name of the Internet Service Provider (ISP);
- date and time of visit;
- referring and exit web pages;
- possibly the number of clicks.
This information is processed automatically and collected in an exclusively aggregated form for the purpose of verifying the correct functioning of the site and for security reasons. From 24/05/2023 onwards, such information will be processed based on the legitimate interests of the Data Controller.
For security purposes (antispam filters, firewalls, virus detection), automatically recorded data may also include personal data such as the IP address, which could be used, in accordance with current laws, to block attempts to damage the site itself or harm other users, or otherwise harmful or criminal activities. Such data are never used for user identification or profiling, but only for the protection of the site and its users. From 24/05/2023 onwards, this information will be processed based on the legitimate interests of the Data Controller.
If the site allows comments or specific services requested by the user, the site automatically records certain identifying data, including the email address. These data are voluntarily provided by the user at the time of the service request. By entering a comment or other information, the user expressly accepts this privacy notice and in particular agrees that the content provided may be freely disclosed to third parties.
The data received will be used exclusively for the provision of the requested service and only for the time necessary for its provision.
Information that users decide to make public through the services and tools provided by the site is provided knowingly and voluntarily, releasing this site from any liability regarding possible breaches of the law. It is the user’s responsibility to ensure they have permission to enter personal data of third parties or content protected by national or international regulations.
Data collected by our website during its operation are used solely for the purposes indicated above and kept only for as long as necessary to perform the activities specified. In any case, data collected by the site will never be shared with third parties, except in cases of legitimate requests by judicial authorities and only in cases required by law.
3) Data processing location
Data collected by the website are processed at the headquarters of the Data Controller and at the data centre of the web hosting provider, which is appointed as the Data Processor, processing data on behalf of the Controller. It is located within the European Economic Area and operates in accordance with European regulations.
4) Cookies
This website, like most websites, uses cookies – small text files that allow information about visitors’ preferences to be stored to improve site functionality, simplify navigation (e.g. login, language selection), and analyse site usage.
There are different types of cookies. Some are necessary for browsing the site, while others serve different purposes such as ensuring internal security, administering the system, carrying out statistical analyses, understanding which sections of the site are of most interest to users, or providing a personalised browsing experience.
Session cookies are essential to distinguish between connected users and are useful to prevent a requested function from being provided to the wrong user, as well as for security purposes to prevent cyberattacks. Session cookies do not contain personal data and last only for the current session, i.e. until the browser is closed. No consent is required for these.
The functionality cookies used by this site are strictly necessary for its use, particularly for specific functionality requests by the user (such as login), for which no consent is required.
Disabling cookies
Cookies are linked to the browser used and can be disabled directly through the browser, thus refusing/revoking consent to their use. Please note that disabling cookies may prevent certain site functions from working properly.
Instructions for disabling cookies can be found on the following web pages:
Mozilla Firefox – Microsoft Internet Explorer – Microsoft Edge – Google Chrome – Opera – Apple Safari.
Third-party cookies
This website also acts as an intermediary for third-party cookies, used to provide additional services and functionality to visitors and to enhance site use, such as social buttons or videos. This site has no control over third-party cookies, which are entirely managed by third parties. Consequently, information about the use and purpose of these cookies, as well as instructions for their possible disabling, are provided directly by the third parties on the pages listed below.
In particular, this site uses cookies from the following third parties:
– Google Analytics: a Google analytics tool that, through the use of cookies (performance cookies), collects anonymous browsing data (IPs truncated to the last octet) and exclusively aggregated data to analyse how users use the site, compile reports on site activity, and provide other information, including visitor numbers and pages viewed. 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 will not associate the IP address with any other data held by Google. Data transmitted to Google are stored on Google’s servers in the United States.
Under a specific agreement with Google, designated as Data Processor, Google undertakes to process data according to the Controller’s requests (see the end of this notice) as set out in the software settings. Advertising and data-sharing options comply with the visitor’s privacy choices.
Further information on Google Analytics cookies can be found at the page Google Analytics Cookie Usage on Websites.
For further details on Google’s use and processing of data, please refer to the relevant pages provided by Google, as well as How Google uses data when you use our partners’ sites or apps.
– YouTube: a platform owned by Google for video sharing, which uses cookies to collect information about users and their browsing devices. Videos embedded on the site do not set cookies when the page is accessed, as the “privacy-enhanced mode (no cookie)” option has been enabled, meaning that YouTube does not store information about visitors unless they play the video voluntarily.
Social Network Plugins
This website also incorporates plugins and/or buttons for social networks, enabling easy content sharing on your favourite platforms. These plugins are designed not to set any cookies when the page is accessed, safeguarding user privacy. Cookies may only be set, if provided by social networks, when the user voluntarily uses the plugin. Please note that if the user is logged into the social network while browsing, they have already consented to the use of cookies conveyed through this site at the time of registration.
The collection and use of information obtained through plugins are governed by the respective privacy policies of the social networks, to which users are asked to refer.
Facebook – (cookie policy)
X – (cookie policy)
Linkedin – (cookie policy)
5) Transfer of data to non-EU countries
This website may share some of the data collected with services located outside the European Union, particularly with Google, Facebook and Microsoft (LinkedIn) via social plugins and Google Analytics. The transfer is authorised under specific EU and Data Protection Authority decisions, in particular Decision 1250/2016, and therefore no further consent is required.
6) Security measures
This website processes user data lawfully and fairly, adopting appropriate security measures to prevent unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration or destruction of data. Processing is carried out using computer and/or telematic tools, with organisational methods and logic strictly related to the purposes indicated. In some cases, categories of authorised personnel or external data processors involved in the organisation of the website (administrative, commercial, marketing, legal, system administrators) may have access to the data, as well as external subjects (such as third-party technical service providers, postal couriers, hosting providers, IT companies, communication agencies).
7) User rights

- request confirmation of the existence of personal data concerning them (right of access);
- know their origin;
- receive intelligible communication of such data;
- obtain information on the logic, methods and purposes of processing;
- request updating, rectification, integration, erasure, anonymisation or blocking of data processed unlawfully, including those no longer necessary for the purposes for which they were collected;

- lodge a complaint with the Supervisory Authority (Garante Privacy – www.garanteprivacy.it);
and, more generally, exercise all rights granted by current legislation.
Requests should be addressed to the Data Controller.
Where data are processed based on legitimate interests, the rights of data subjects are nonetheless guaranteed (except for data portability, which is not provided for by law), particularly the right to object to processing, which may be exercised by submitting a request to the Data Controller.
