What are cookies?
Cookies are small text strings that the websites visited by users (so-called publishers, or “first parties”), or other websites or web servers (so-called “third parties”), place and store on the user’s terminal device so that they can be sent back to the same websites on the next visit. *

What are they used for?
Cookies are used for a variety of purposes: performing IT authentication, monitoring sessions, storing information on specific configurations of users accessing the server, storing preferences, or facilitating the use of online content, for example to keep track of items in a shopping cart or of the information entered in an online form. However, they may also be used to profile users, that is to “observe” their behaviour, for example in order to send targeted advertising, measure the effectiveness of advertising messages and adopt consequent commercial strategies. In this case they are referred to as profiling cookies. *

What are technical cookies?
Technical cookies are those required to browse a website or to provide a service requested by the user. They are not used for any other purpose and are normally installed directly by the website owner.

Without these cookies, some operations could not be performed or would be more complex and/or less secure. *

Are analytics cookies technical cookies?
Analytics cookies can be treated as technical cookies when they are used directly by the website owner to optimise the website, collecting aggregated statistical information on the number of users and on how they browse the website.

If, on the other hand, such statistical analyses are entrusted to third parties, user data must first be minimised and may not be combined with other processing operations or passed on to further third parties. Under these conditions, analytics cookies are subject to the same information and consent rules that apply to technical cookies. *

6. a) What are my rights and how can I exercise them?

As a data subject, users have the rights set out in Article 15 et seq. of the Regulation, namely:

1. RIGHT OF ACCESS (Art. 15 GDPR)
Data subjects have the right to obtain confirmation as to whether or not personal data concerning them exist, even if not yet recorded, and to have such data communicated to them in an intelligible form.

2. RIGHT TO RECTIFICATION (Art. 16 GDPR)
Data subjects have the right to obtain the rectification of inaccurate personal data concerning them and the completion of incomplete data.

3. RIGHT TO ERASURE (Art. 17 GDPR)
Data subjects have the right to obtain the erasure of their personal data on specific grounds, such as the withdrawal of consent, an objection to processing, where the data are no longer necessary in relation to the purposes for which they were collected and processed, or in the event of unlawful processing. Erasure may not always be possible, but the controller will in any case be required to provide adequate justification.

4. RIGHT TO RESTRICTION OF PROCESSING (Art. 18 GDPR)
Data subjects have the right to obtain restriction of processing in specific circumstances, for example while a request for rectification or an objection is being assessed.

5. RIGHT TO DATA PORTABILITY (Art. 20 GDPR)
Where processing is based on consent or on a contract and is carried out by automated means, data subjects may receive their data in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format, or ask for them to be transmitted to another controller.

6. RIGHT TO OBJECT (Art. 21 GDPR)
Data subjects have the right to object, in whole or in part:
a) on legitimate grounds, to the processing of personal data concerning them, even where relevant to the purpose of collection;
b) to the processing of personal data concerning them for purposes not covered by Art. 2.

Users may submit a request objecting to the processing of their personal data under Article 21 GDPR, stating the reasons for the objection. The Controller reserves the right to assess the request, which will not be accepted where there are compelling legitimate grounds for the processing that override the interests, rights and freedoms of the user.

7. RIGHT TO LODGE A COMPLAINT
Data subjects have the right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority under Article 77 GDPR if they consider that the processing of their data infringes the applicable legislation.

1. b) How to exercise your rights

Data subjects may exercise the rights set out above at any time by contacting the data controller at the addresses given above.

^[1] Pursuant to Art. 4(7) GDPR, the data controller is the party that determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data; its responsibilities are set out in Art. 24 GDPR.
