What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files containing information generated by a web site’s server and placed on a user’s-visitor’s personal computer, where they are stored and then retransmitted to during the next visit. “Third parties” cookies are instead set by a website other than the one the user is visiting. This happens because on each site there may be elements (images, maps, sounds, specific links to web pages of other domains, etc.) that reside on different hosting-servers. Cookies are employed for different purposes: execution of computer authentication, sessions’ monitoring, storage of information relating to specific configurations from users accessing the platform, preferences’ storage, etc. Hereunder you will find all the information about cookies installed by this site, and the necessary information on how to manage your preferences.

Personal data collected: Cookies and Usage Data.
All the information that Google Analytics collects comes to us anonymously, because we have anonymised the IP address of users who access our website, which means that when a user arrives here, Google Analytics hides some of the information about their geographical location, so the information we see is a little less precise. So we don’t know what your name is, where you live, what your email address is, what pages you’ve seen, how long you’ve been on the site and where you’ve come from, but only that a certain number of people in a certain period of time have come to the site, have been there for a total amount of time and have seen certain pages, etc.
The information that Google Analytics collects is on Google Analytics and nowhere else, we do not keep any copies of this data and when we need to look at traffic data we go to Google Analytics to view it.
To block Google Analytics please use the appropriate extension provided by Google – Opt Out.
