PROCESSED DATA AND PURPOSES OF PROCESSING

Navigation Data: The IT systems and software procedures governing the website’s operation acquire, during their regular exercise, certain personal data whose transmission is implicit in the use of internet communication protocols. This information is not collected to be associated with identified individuals, but due to its nature, it may, through processing and association with data held by third parties, allow user identification. This category of data includes IP addresses or domain names of computers used by users connecting to the site, URI (Uniform Resource Identifier) addresses of requested resources, the time of the request, the method used in submitting the request to the server, the size of the file obtained in response, the numerical code indicating the status of the response given by the server (successful, error, etc.), and other parameters related to the user’s operating system and computer environment. This data, once collected, may be used to establish responsibility in case of potential cybercrimes against the site.

Data Provided by the User: Data requested in various sections of the website, such as name, surname, and email, are used to fulfill user requests (e.g., when requesting information by writing to the email addresses on the homepage or internal pages, submitting a curriculum vitae for job applications, or making direct calls or sending faxes to the contact numbers in the “contacts” section).

NATURE AND LEGAL BASIS OF PROCESSING

Navigation data is processed as necessary for computer and telematic protocols. Providing personal data by users is voluntary, but failure to provide it may result in the inability to access the services offered by the portal. The legal basis for processing is consent.

What are Cookies and what can they be used for?

A “cookie” is a small text file created by some websites on the user’s computer when accessing a specific site, with the purpose of storing and transporting information. Cookies are sent by a web server (which is the computer on which the visited website is running) to the user’s browser (Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome, etc.) and stored on the user’s computer; they are then resent to the website during subsequent visits.

Some operations could not be carried out without the use of cookies, which, in some cases, are therefore technically necessary. In other cases, the site uses cookies to facilitate and streamline user navigation or to allow users to take advantage of specifically requested services.

Cookies can remain in the system for long periods and may also contain a unique identification code. This allows the sites that use them to track the user’s navigation within the site itself for statistical or advertising purposes, creating a personalized profile of the user based on the pages visited, and showing and/or sending targeted advertisements (so-called Behavioral Advertising).

Which Cookies are used and for what purposes?

The Data Controller provides the following specific categories of cookies used, their purpose, and the consequence of deselecting them:

TYPES OF COOKIES PURPOSE WHAT HAPPENS IF I DESELECT THIS
Technical cookies Site management. They allow the website to function and be explored safely and efficiently. These are the cookies necessary for the use of the site; blocking them does not allow it to function.
Functionality cookies Facilitate navigation and the service provided to the user based on a series of criteria selected by the user. It would not be possible to retain the choices made by users during navigation.
Cookie analytics Collecting information in aggregated form about users’ navigation to optimize the browsing experience and the services themselves. It would no longer be possible for the Data Controller to acquire aggregated information.”

THIRD-PARTY COOKIES

This website also operates third-party cookies, meaning cookies created by a website different from the one the user is currently visiting.

In particular, users are informed that the website uses the following services that release cookies:

  • The web analysis service “Google Analytics” provided by Google, Inc. is a web analysis service that uses “cookies” deposited on the user’s computer to allow the visited website to analyze how users use it. Information generated by the cookie about the user’s use of the visited website (including the IP address) will be transmitted to Google and stored on Google’s servers in the United States. Google will use this information to track and examine the user’s use of the website, compile reports on website activities for website operators, and provide other services related to website activities and internet usage.
