Information on cookies
Web sites use useful and intelligent techniques to increase ease of use and make sites more interesting for each visitor. One of the best known techniques involves the use of cookies. Cookies can be used by website owners or third parties, such as advertisers, who communicate through the website visited.
Cookies are small text files that the website stores on users’ computers. The information contained in the cookies can also be used to track the exploration carried out on different websites that use the same cookie.
Cookies are classified according to the duration and the site that set them.
We believe it is essential to provide users with information on the cookies that our website uses and the purposes for which they are used. The goal is threefold: to guarantee your privacy, to ensure ease of use and to optimize the development of our websites. The explanation below illustrates in more detail the cookies used on our websites and the related purposes.
Cookies and related features
Depending on the individual objectives, different cookies are used.
The following is a list of the most common types of cookies and the purposes for which they are used.
Session cookies
Session cookies are stored temporarily in the memory of the computer while browsing a site, for example, to keep track of the chosen language. Session cookies remain stored on your computer for a short period of time. They are in fact deleted as soon as the user closes the web browser.
Permanent cookies or tracers
Persistent cookies save a file on your computer for a long time. This type of cookie has an expiration date. Persistent cookies allow websites to remember information and settings on subsequent visits by users, thus making browsing more practical and quick, since, for example, it is no longer necessary to log in.
At the expiration date, the cookie is automatically deleted when you first log in to the website that created it.
First-party cookies
These cookies are set by the websites themselves (with a domain identical to that indicated in the browser address bar) and can only be read by those sites. They are commonly used to store information such as preferences, to be used on subsequent visits to the site.
Third-party cookies
These cookies are set by domains other than those indicated in the browser’s address bar, ie by organizations that do not correspond to website owners.
The cookies used, for example, to collect information for advertising and content customization, as well as to process Web statistics, may be “third-party cookies”.
Third-party cookies allow us to obtain more complete surveys of users’ browsing habits and are believed to be more sensitive from the point of view of integrity. For this reason, most Web browsers allow you to change the settings so that these cookies are not accepted.
Flash cookies
Flash cookies (Shared Local Objects) are data that can be stored on your computer from websites that use Adobe Flash.
These cookies offer a new method to track movements and store a lot of user information much higher than normal cookies. One of the main disadvantages of Flash cookies is the inability to detect them in the browser. In fact, they do not appear in the list that is displayed when you consult the cookies currently present in the Web browser. The normal HTTP cookies are not able to store more than 4 Kilobytes of data, while Flash cookies can save up to 100 Kilobytes.
The technological design of Flash cookies is similar to that of cookies. Almost all Web browsers have a Flash player that is used to view Flash presentations. A famous example of Flash presentations is the video player on the YouTube site. (Flash cookies are not only associated with YouTube, but are valid for all websites that use Flash cookies).
There is no time limit for Flash cookies. They remain then stored until you proceed to delete them.
How to disable Flash cookies
Flash cookies can not be blocked or managed in the browser, because they are stored in another location, ie in the General Settings panel of the storage in the online resource management settings of the Adobe site.
Settings Manager is accessed from the Adobe website, but runs locally on the computer. Web site storage settings displays all Flash cookies currently stored on your computer. These cookies can be deleted individually from individual sites or all together. You can also increase or decrease the size in Kilobytes of all information stored on your computer.
To avoid the storage of Flash cookies, simply access the General settings of the storage and disable the option “Allow third-party Flash content to store data on your computer”.
To disable Flash cookies site by site, you need to access the Settings Manager.
If Flash cookies are deactivated, we can no longer guarantee the correct execution of all the functions of our website.
