Policy on the use of cookies
The European Directive 2009/136/CE regulates the use of cookies (text files that are deposited on the visitor's computer). This site uses "technical" cookies (text files that are stored on the visitor's device - computer, telephone, tablet - to enable efficient and secure browsing.
Types of cookies
- Technical cookies do not require the user's consent and are used for the sole purpose of carrying out the transmission of a communication over an electronic communication network, or to the extent strictly necessary for the provider of an information society service explicitly requested by the contracting party or user to provide such a service" (see Art. 122, paragraph 1 of the Code). They can be subdivided into navigation or session cookies, and ensure normal navigation and use of the website.
- Analytical cookies are comparable to cookies and other technical identifiers only if
- they are only used to produce aggregate statistics and in relation to a single site or mobile application;
- at least the fourth component of the IP address is masked in the case of third parties;
- third parties refrain from combining analytics cookies, thus minimised, with other processing (customer files or statistics of visits to other sites, for example) or passing them on to other third parties. However, third parties are permitted to produce statistics with data from several domains, websites or apps that can be traced back to the same publisher or business group. - Profiling cookies are used to monitor and profile users during browsing, study their movements and web browsing or consumption habits, including for the purpose of sending targeted and personalised service advertisements.
