COOKIE POLICY
What are cookies?
A cookie is a small text file made up of letters and numbers that a website places on a user’s computer when they access a site. Cookies are stored by the browser (for example Explorer or Chrome) on your computer, smartphone, or other device and allow websites to store and use information about users’ preferences, so as to recognize a user when they access the site and, where appropriate, respond accordingly.
While browsing a website, the user may also receive cookies from websites or web servers other than the one being visited (so-called “third-party” cookies). This happens because the visited website may contain elements such as images, maps, sounds, or specific links to web pages of other domains that reside on servers different from the one hosting the requested page.
Cookies are used to perform electronic authentication, session monitoring, and storage of specific information concerning users who access the server and are normally present in each user’s browser in very large numbers.

Analytics cookies
The services in this section allow the Data Controller to monitor and analyze traffic data and track User behavior.
Google Analytics (Google Inc.)
Google Analytics is a web analytics service provided by Google Inc. (“Google”). We use Google Analytics to collect traffic data in an entirely anonymous form for this website, solely to track and examine how users use this website — for example, to know who visits the site (language, location, device, browser, and operating system), typical traffic data (page views, average time, ranking of most viewed pages, etc.), and where visitors come from.
Personal Data collected: Cookies and Usage Data.
All information collected by Google Analytics is provided to us in anonymous form, as we have anonymized the IP address of users accessing our website. This means that when a user arrives here, Google Analytics hides part of the information about their geographic location, making the information we see somewhat less precise. Therefore, we do not know your name, where you live, your email address, which pages you viewed, how long you stayed on the site, or where you came from — only that a certain number of people within a given period of time visited the site, stayed for a total amount of time, and viewed certain pages, etc.
The information Google Analytics collects is on Google Analytics and nowhere else. We do not keep any copy of this data, and when we need to review traffic data we access Google Analytics to view it.
To block Google Analytics, we invite you to use the dedicated extension made available by Google – Opt Out.
Place of processing: USA – Privacy Policy – Opt Out.
