These data are used solely to obtain anonymous statistical information on website usage and to ensure the proper functioning of the website.

Such data may also be used to establish liability in the event of suspected cybercrime against the website, but only upon request by the competent authorities.

The optional, explicit and voluntary sending of emails to the addresses published on this website results in the subsequent acquisition of the sender's email address, which is necessary to respond to requests, together with any personal data contained in the communication.

What are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files (consisting of letters and/or numbers) that enable a web server to store information on a user's device (browser) so that it can be reused either during the same visit (session cookies) or during subsequent visits (persistent cookies).

Cookies are stored by the browser on the user's device (computer, tablet or smartphone) according to the user's preferences.

Similar technologies may also be used to collect information about users' behaviour and their use of online services.

For the purposes of this document, the term "cookies" refers to both cookies and similar tracking technologies.

 

Types of Cookies

Depending on their characteristics and purpose, cookies can be classified into different categories.

Strictly necessary (technical) cookies. These cookies are essential for the proper functioning of the website. They are used, for example, to manage user login, provide access to restricted areas and generally improve, personalise and optimise the services offered.

Some of these cookies are deleted automatically when the browser is closed (session cookies), while others remain stored for a longer period in order to recognise the user's device during future visits (persistent cookies).

Disabling these cookies may affect the functionality of services that require authentication, while the public areas of the website will generally remain accessible.

The website uses the following essential cookies:

​

XSRF-TOKEN – used for request forgery protection. Duration: Session.
hs – security cookie for Hive (legacy). Duration: Session.
SVSession – ensures website security, stability and core functionality. Duration: 12 months.
SSR-caching – improves website rendering performance. Duration: 24 hours.
TS* – used for attack detection and website protection. Duration: Session.

Analytics and performance cookies. They are used to collect and analyse information about website traffic and usage in an anonymous and aggregated manner.

These first-party or third-party cookies do not directly identify users but make it possible, for example, to determine whether the same user returns to the website at different times. They also enable the monitoring of the website's performance in order to improve its functionality and usability.

Disabling these cookies does not affect the core functionality of the website.

Profiling cookies are persistent cookies. They are used to identify users' preferences (whether anonymously or otherwise) in order to improve their browsing experience and display advertising that is more relevant to their interests.

Because these cookies may significantly affect users' privacy, both European and Italian legislation require that users be properly informed about their use and provide their explicit consent before such cookies are installed.

Third-party cookies. While browsing this website, users may receive cookies not only from this website (first-party cookies), but also from websites or services operated by third parties.

A common example is the presence of social media plugins (such as Facebook, X/Twitter or Google services), which allow users to share website content through social networks. These plugins may result in cookies being transmitted between the user's browser and the relevant third-party services.

The collection and processing of information by these third parties are governed by their respective privacy and cookie policies, which users are encouraged to consult.

​
