Technical and navigation information: IP address, identifiers of the device in use, information about the browser and operating system, date and time of accesses, pages visited, technical commands necessary for the correct display of content, system errors.
User preferences: choices made in relation to cookies and privacy settings, collected through panels, banners or similar tools.
Statistical and usage data: information used to assess and improve the functioning of the site, for example the frequency of visits or the most consulted areas.

Interactions with integrated external services: technical data shared when the site integrates third-party services (e.g. fonts, maps, image display), always in accordance with the rules of the operators involved.

For details on the processing of data provided through contact forms, service requests or other features, we invite you to consult our Personal Data Policy.

4. What types of cookies (and similar) exist?
In general, there are several categories of cookies and similar technologies (web beacons, local storage and equivalent technologies). Below is a description of the categories that can generally be used; the list of those actually present on this site is set out in the following section “Detailed list of cookies”.

Strictly necessary cookies: essential for the technical functioning of the site, they allow, for example, access to protected areas, session management or remembering essential preferences.
Cookies for preferences and personalisation: they serve to store display choices, such as language, text size or viewing mode, in order to offer you an interaction closer to your preferences.
Analytics and performance cookies: they help us understand how the site is used. They can be treated as technical cookies only when they are configured so as to reduce their identifying power and are used exclusively for aggregated statistics; in other cases they are activated only with the user’s prior consent.
Cookies for promotional or advertising activities: used to offer personalised commercial content and to monitor the effectiveness of advertising campaigns.
External components and services: by interacting with social plugins, analytics tools or third-party platforms, cookies or comparable systems managed directly by external parties may be installed.

5. How can you give or refuse consent to the use of cookies?
Jurisdictions EU, United Kingdom, Switzerland, Brazil, or in any case in countries with legislation similar to the GDPR:

The use of cookies and similar technologies that are not strictly necessary is subject, where required by the applicable legislation, to the prior consent of the user, freely given, specific, informed and unambiguous; in other cases, it takes place in compliance with the conditions of lawfulness and, where applicable, on the basis of an appropriate legal basis, following transparent information and in compliance with the rights of refusal, objection or withdrawal provided for by the applicable legislation. As a precautionary choice, the consent management system My Agile Privacy® adopted on this site activates such tools only after the user has expressed their preferences through the dedicated cookie banner.
The user can manage and modify their preferences at any time, withdraw the consent granted and access the “Manage cookie preferences” function.

United States (California CCPA/CPRA, ) Canada PIPEDA and equivalent regulations:

Where provided for by the applicable US laws, the user may exercise the opt-out from the sale of personal data, its sharing or processing for targeted advertising and, where provided for, from profiling in furtherance of decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects. With reference to Canada, where PIPEDA or the relevant provincial legislation applies, the collection, use and disclosure of personal information generally require valid and meaningful consent. The user may withdraw consent in the manner and within the limits provided for by the applicable law; where PIPEDA applies, withdrawal may take place at any time, with reasonable notice and subject to legal or contractual restrictions, after being informed of the related consequences.

Operational details:
On first access to the site, a banner is displayed that allows you to manage preferences relating to cookies and tracking tools.
Through the banner, the user can choose whether to:

Accept all cookies: by clicking the dedicated button, all non-essential cookies will be activated.
Customise the settings: you can select in detail which cookies to authorise and which to keep disabled.
Reject optional cookies: by pressing the reject button or closing the banner via the dedicated close command (X), the default settings remain unchanged and browsing continues with only the technical cookies necessary for the functioning of the site; closing the banner therefore amounts to a refusal of consent.

The preferences expressed through the banner are retained for a period of 180 days by means of a technical cookie. If you access from a different device or browser, you will need to reconfigure your preferences.
The user may, in any case, at any time modify the choices made by accessing the dedicated functionality, identifiable by the icon or the link dedicated to consent management.

The preferences on the use of cookies and tracking tools are collected and managed through the consent management system (Consent Management Platform) My Agile Privacy®, a Google-certified partner for integration with Google Consent Mode v2.

6. On what legal bases do we process the data collected through cookies and related technologies?
The installation of cookies and the use of tracking tools are based on different legal bases depending on the category of the tool and the applicable legislation. In general:

Technical cookies and strictly necessary tools: they are used without the user’s consent, as they are necessary to carry out the transmission of a communication over an electronic communications network or to provide an information society service expressly requested by the user. This category includes, for example, cookies necessary for the functioning of the site, session management, security, the storage of consent preferences and, where the conditions are met, certain analytics cookies configured so as to reduce their identifying power.
Cookies and tools that are not strictly necessary: they are used only with the user’s prior consent, which is freely given, specific, informed and revocable at any time. This category includes, for example, profiling, marketing and behavioural advertising cookies, social plugins and analytics tools that cannot be treated as technical cookies.

Where cookies or other tools involve the processing of personal data, the storage of information on the device or access to it is subject to consent only where this is required by the applicable legislation, save for the exemptions indicated above for strictly necessary tools; the subsequent processing operations on the data collected are based on a legal basis under the applicable data protection legislation. Any legitimate interest of the Data Controller may concern such subsequent processing, where necessary and proportionate (for example specific security activities), and cannot replace the consent required for tools that are not strictly necessary.

Additional rules and rights for US jurisdictions:
In countries subject to regulations such as the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), and the other applicable US state regulations, the user may exercise at any time the opt-out from the sale of personal data, its sharing or processing for targeted advertising and, where provided for, from profiling in furtherance of decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects, through the dedicated functions (a “Reject” button, where configured to give effect also to such opt-outs, the Global Privacy Control signal or other universal opt-out signals recognised by the applicable law).

With reference to Canada, where PIPEDA or the relevant provincial legislation applies, the collection, use and disclosure of personal information generally require valid and meaningful consent. The user may withdraw consent in the manner and within the limits provided for by the applicable law; where PIPEDA applies, withdrawal may take place at any time, with reasonable notice and subject to legal or contractual restrictions, after being informed of the related consequences. In Québec, the user is also informed in advance of the use of technologies that allow them to be identified, located or profiled and of the means to activate such functions; these functions are not activated by default and are activated only through an action of the user. Consent, where required, is clear, free and informed, is given for specific purposes and is requested separately for each purpose, in clear and plain language and, if requested in writing, separately from the other information presented to the user.

Refusing or withdrawing consent to the use of certain cookies may limit access to some personalised features of the site.

7. How is your data protected?
The personal data collected through this site by means of cookies and tracking tools is processed by electronic means in accordance with the principles of lawfulness, fairness, minimisation, integrity and confidentiality.

In particular, communications between the user’s browser and the site are protected by HTTPS encryption, a measure aimed at reducing the risk of interception or manipulation of the data transmitted during browsing.

The Data Controller also adopts further technical and organisational measures appropriate to ensure a level of security suited to the risk. For details of such measures, please refer to the Personal Data Policy on this site.

8. Where can your data be processed and transferred?
Some of the cookies and third-party tools listed in the following section “Detailed list of cookies” are provided by parties that may process the data in countries other than the one in which you reside, including foreign countries.

The data collected through cookies and tracking tools is processed, as a rule, in the country where the Data Controller is established and at the service providers used. Where data is transferred or made accessible outside the relevant territory under the applicable legislation, the transfer takes place by means of one of the mechanisms it permits, including adequacy decisions, appropriate or suitable safeguards and, where applicable, derogations or other conditions provided for by the applicable legislation. For transfers subject to the GDPR, the relevant territory is the European Union / European Economic Area and, in particular, the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework, limited to organisations included in the relevant list and within the scope of the certification, and the Standard Contractual Clauses adopted by the European Commission are relevant. The destination countries and the mechanism actually applied are indicated in the detailed list of cookies, together with the methods for obtaining a copy of any safeguards.

For transfers to third countries subject to the UK GDPR, the basis consists of the adequacy determinations recognised by the United Kingdom (including, for the US, the UK Extension to the EU-US Data Privacy Framework - “UK-US Data Bridge” for certified suppliers) or by appropriate safeguards such as the International Data Transfer Agreement (IDTA) or the UK Addendum to the SCCs, subject to a transfer risk assessment (TRA).

9. Who can receive your data?
The personal data collected through cookies and tracking tools may be processed by the Data Controller, by authorised persons and by technical service providers or third parties involved in the provision of the services on the site.

Such parties may, depending on the activities actually carried out and the applicable legislation, process the data on behalf of the Data Controller or determine the purposes and means of the processing, independently or jointly with other parties. The identities or categories of such parties, their respective roles and, where relevant, the purposes are indicated in the detailed list of cookies; the privacy notices of the individual suppliers provide supplementary information.

With reference to the applicable US regulations, the involvement of third-party providers of advertising or profiling cookies may constitute, according to the definitions of the applicable law, a sale, a sharing for cross-context behavioural advertising or processing for targeted advertising: in such cases the user can exercise the related right to opt out as described in this notice. With reference to Canada, where PIPEDA or the relevant provincial legislation applies, the collection, use or disclosure of data by third parties for their own advertising or profiling purposes generally requires valid and meaningful consent, which the user may withdraw in accordance with the applicable law.

The updated list of suppliers can be consulted in the table in section 10 and is also available on request at the Data Controller’s contact details.

For the retention, duration and methods of deletion of data other than those mentioned, you can consult the specific provisions set out in the Personal Data Policy on this site.

12. What are your rights regarding the data collected?
In relation to the data collected through cookies and tracking tools, the user can exercise at any time the rights granted by the applicable legislation.

In particular, the right most directly connected to cookies is the right to withdraw the consent previously given to the use of non-essential cookies and to modify one’s preferences at any time, through the dedicated consent management function identifiable by the icon or the dedicated link, without retroactive effect on the lawfulness of processing already carried out on the basis of consent, without prejudice to the further rights provided for by the applicable legislation, including, where applicable, the right to erasure or deletion of the data.

Users in the United Kingdom have the right to make a data protection complaint to the Data Controller; the Data Controller will acknowledge receipt within 30 days and take appropriate steps to respond to the complaint without undue delay, informing the data subject of the progress and outcome. This is without prejudice to the right to approach the competent UK supervisory authority.

With reference to the applicable US regulations, the user can exercise the right to opt out of the sale of personal data, its sharing or processing for targeted advertising and, where provided for, from profiling in furtherance of decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects, through the dedicated functions of the banner or universal opt-out signals recognised by the applicable law, such as the Global Privacy Control; browser settings are relevant for this purpose only if they transmit a valid signal. With reference to Canada, where PIPEDA or the relevant provincial legislation applies, the user may withdraw consent to the use or disclosure of data for marketing purposes and request its cessation, in the manner and within the limits provided for by the applicable law; where PIPEDA applies, with reasonable notice and subject to legal or contractual restrictions.

The user also has, under the applicable legislation, the further rights granted to data subjects - including access, rectification, erasure, restriction, objection to processing, data portability and lodging a complaint with the competent authority, pursuant to Article 77 of the GDPR. For a full description of these rights and the methods of exercising them, please refer to the Personal Data Policy on this site.
