These cookies collect information on how users use a website, for example, which pages are most visited, and if you receive error messages from web pages. These cookies do not collect information that identifies a visitor. All information collected through cookies is aggregated and therefore anonymous. They are used only to improve the functioning of a website.

Third-party cookies
By visiting a website you may receive cookies from both the visited site (“owners”) and sites managed by other organizations (“third parties”). A notable example is a presence of “social plugins” for Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn. These are parts of the visited page generated directly by the aforementioned sites and integrated into the page of the host site. The most common use of social plugins is aimed at sharing content on social networks.
The presence of these plugins involves the transmission of cookies to and from all sites managed by third parties. The management of the information collected by “third parties” is governed by the relevant information to which reference should be made. To ensure greater transparency and convenience, the web addresses of the various information and methods for managing cookies are shown below.

Duration of cookies
Some cookies (session cookies) remain active only until the browser is closed or the logout command is executed. Other cookies “survive” when the browser is closed and are also available on subsequent visits by the user.
These cookies are called persistent and their duration is set by the server at the time of their creation. In some cases a deadline is set, in other cases the duration is unlimited.
However, by browsing the pages of this site, you can interact with sites managed by third parties that can create or modify persistent and profiling cookies.
Cookie management
The user can decide whether or not to accept cookies using the settings on their browser.
Attention: the total or partial disabling of technical cookies can compromise the use of the site features reserved for registered users. On the contrary, the usability of public content is also possible by completely disabling cookies.
Disabling “third-party” cookies does not affect navigability in any way.
The setting can be enabled specifically for the different websites and web applications.
Furthermore, the best browsers allow you to define different settings for “proprietary” and “third party” cookies.
By way of example, in Firefox, through the Tools-> Options -> Privacy menu, you can access a control panel where you can define whether or not to accept the different types of cookies and proceed with their removal.
