1.1 Interaction with social networks and external platforms

This specific type of service allows interactions with social networks or other external platforms directly from the pages of the Site. It is understood that the processing of personal data by the relevant social networks, collected through such services, is exclusively subject to the privacy settings selected by each user for their account on the specific platform.

Our site uses Social Plugins from various social networks. These are tools that allow websites to connect to social media, enabling users to exchange information and interact between the content of the former with the latter. Among the social plugins possibly installed by the Data Controller may be included the so-called widgets, graphical command elements inserted in specific sections of the Site to allow users to access the plugin’s functionalities (e.g., the Facebook ‘Like’ button or the redirect to the Data Controller’s social pages). These tools, if present, can be deactivated with a click, by selecting your preferences through the appropriate panel accessible in section 3 of this Cookie Policy.

It is possible that the data collected through the plugins are not able to identify you. However, it is not excluded that, depending on the type of plugin or, more generally, the connected social network, the data collected could identify you as a user, regardless of the actual login to such platforms.

However, even if you are not registered on social networks, their active plugins on the Site can still send data to these platforms.

More generally, if the user does not want social networks to collect their data through these cookies, with a click they can simply deactivate the social plugins on our websites through the appropriate panel accessible in section 3, or block the “third-party cookies” function in their browser settings. In this case, the browser will not send cookies to the server when it finds embedded content from other service providers.

2. Cookie Management

When accessing any page of the Site, the user is shown a banner containing a brief information regarding the Company’s cookie management methods, as well as the choices that the user can make, who can also obtain more information by consulting this extended information notice. Before continuing with navigation, the user is asked to indicate his or her preferences regarding the installation of optional cookies on his or her browser, i.e. cookies that are not strictly necessary for the proper functioning of the Site and for correct navigation by the interested party, by giving or denying his or her consent to their use. To this end, the user has the option to allow their installation en bloc, by clicking on the ‘ACCEPT ALL COOKIES’ button, or to refuse them, by selecting ‘REFUSE ALL COOKIES’ inside the banner. Alternatively, you can make a more granular choice, selecting each specific type of cookie to be installed, by clicking on the ‘ACCEPT ALL COOKIES’ button, as well as find out more about it by clicking on ‘SHOW DETAILS’. It should be noted that, in line with the provisions dictated by the Italian Data Protection Authority in its ‘Guidelines for cookies and other tracking tools’ adopted on 10 June 2021(link), the switch to enable or disable statistical and marketing cookies is set to ‘off’ by default.

In addition, the user may at any time contact the Controller to request revocation of their consent or further information about it by communicating the ID displayed above.

3.HOW TO DISABLE COOKIES FROM THE BROWSER

As already mentioned, the user may revoke his or her consent to the installation of statistical and marketing cookies at any time, thanks to the special panel accessible, in addition to the initial banner, from the button in the bottom left-hand corner of the Site.

In any case, should you prefer, you can also manage cookies directly through your browser settings, in the manner indicated at the following links:

If you delete cookies in this way, however, you may remove the preferences you have set for this Site. For this reason you should visit this information page periodically to check them again.

Further ways to prevent the installation of cookies on the user’s terminal consist in the possibility of: i) rejecting third-party by-default cookies, by using the specific functions made available by some browsers; ii) activating the ‘Do Not Track’ option (automatic interruption of the collection of certain browsing data) available in most of the latest generation browsers; iii) activating the ‘anonymous browsing’ mode.

It should be borne in mind, however, that deactivating cookies may complicate or slow down browsing and full enjoyment of all the Site’s functionalities.

5.USER RIGHTS
