COOKIE POLICY - Extended Cookie Policy

What cookies are

Cookies are small text files the visited sites send to users’ terminals, where they are stored and then transmitted to the same sites during following visits. The so-called "third parties" cookies are deployed by websites other than ones the user is visiting. This is because each site may contain elements (images, maps, sounds, specific links to web pages of other domains, etc..) residing on external servers. Cookies are used for different purposes: user authentication, session monitoring, storage of information relating to specific configurations set by users accessing the server, set preferences, etc...

Below you will find all the information about cookies deployed by this web-site, and the necessary indications on how to manage your preferences.

For more information about cookies and their general functions, visit an informative website such as allaboutcookies.org

Examples of other technologies

Local storage

Local storage is a technology aiming at optimizing the navigation and does not collect data relating to preferences expressed by visitors (e.g., it stores a code that identifies the user's session after login, to avoid the user from typing username and password on each page when accessing restricted areas).

Tracking pixel

"Tracking code" or "tracking code" is a small portion of code that get released by some systems and get recalled into others to track some data about the visitor and his browsing sessions. The tracked data may belong to different cathegories: date and time of browsing, geographical position, type of device used for browsing, complex tracking pixels to monitor the value spent for a purchase order and other useful information for marketing departments.

Plugin

It interacts with another program to expand or extend its original functionality. The most used plugins are those of social networks, which allow the user, in eg., to follow a page or a social profile with a click, to leave “likes” and share pages on his own social network profile, etc.

Widget

It is a graphic component aiming at facilitating user’s interaction with the platform itself. The most used widgets are those of social networks, which allow users to easily open social networks pages in a separate window.

Interactions and information that may be acquired by the site are subject to the privacy settings of the third party deploying these technologies.
