2. What are cookies
Cookies are strings of text that websites visited by users (so-called ‘publishers’, or ‘first parties’) or different websites or web servers (so-called ‘third parties’) place and store on the user’s terminal device, so that they are then transmitted to the same sites on the next visit. *
3. What are they for
Cookies are used for different purposes: carrying out computer authentication, session monitoring, storing information on specific configurations concerning users accessing the server, storing preferences, or to facilitate the use of online content, such as keeping track of items in a shopping cart or information for filling out a computer form, etc.; but they can also be used to profile users, i.e. to ‘observe’ their behaviour, for example in order to send targeted advertising, measure the effectiveness of the advertising message and adopt consequent commercial strategies. In this case we speak of profiling cookies. *
3.1 What are technical cookies?
These are cookies that serve to carry out navigation or 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 the use of such cookies, certain operations could not be performed or would be more complex and/or less secure. *
3.2 Are analytical cookies technical cookies?
Analytical cookies can be assimilated to technical cookies if they are used for site optimisation purposes directly by the site owner, who may collect statistical information in aggregate form on the number of users and how they visit the site.
If, on the other hand, the processing of such statistical analyses is outsourced to third parties, user data must be minimised in advance and may not be combined with other processing or passed on to other third parties. Under these conditions, the same rules on information and consent apply to analytics cookies as to technical cookies. *
4. The cookies used by the site

- Third-party. Third-party cookies are cookies set by a website other than the one you are currently visiting. For example, the cnn.com website might contain a Facebook ‘Like’ button. That button will set a cookie that can be read by Facebook.

As a data subject, you have the rights under Art. 15 et seq. of the Regulation as set out in the paragraphs below.

The data subject has the right to obtain confirmation of the existence or non-existence of personal data concerning him/her, even if not yet recorded, and its communication in intelligible form.
6.2 Right of rectification (Art. 16 GDPR)
The data subject has the right to obtain the rectification of inaccurate personal data concerning him/her, as well as the integration of incomplete data.
6.3 Right of cancellation (Art. 17 GDPR)
The data subject has the right to obtain the deletion of personal data for particular reasons such as revocation of consent, objection to processing or if the data are no longer necessary for the purposes for which they were collected and processed or in the event of unlawful processing. It will not always be possible to proceed to deletion, but it will certainly be the burden of the data controller to provide adequate justification.
6.4 Right to restriction of processing (Art. 18 GDPR)
The data subject has the right to obtain restriction of processing in special cases such as, for example, in the case of a request for rectification or opposition during the time of assessment of requests.
6.5 Right to portability (Art. 20 GDPR)
If the processing is based on consent or contract and is carried out by automated means, the data subject may receive them in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format or request that they be transmitted to another data controller.
6.6 Right to object (Art. 21 GDPR)
The data subject has the right to object, in whole or in part:
a) per motivi legittimi al trattamento dei dati personali che lo riguardano, ancorché pertinenti allo scopo della raccolta;
b) al trattamento di dati personali che lo riguardano per il perseguimento di finalità non contemplate dall’art. 2.
The user may make a request to object to the processing of his or her personal data pursuant to Article 21 of the GDPR in which he or she must give evidence of the reasons justifying the objection: the Data Controller reserves the right to assess the request, which would not be accepted in the event of the existence of compelling legitimate grounds for processing that prevail over the user’s interests, rights and freedoms.
6.7 Right to withdraw consent (Art. 7 GDPR)
In the event that data processing is based on consent, you have the right to revoke your previously given consent at any time. In this case, withdrawal of consent will not affect the processing carried out as long as consent was validly given.
6.8 Right to lodge a complaint
The data subject has the right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority pursuant to Article 77 of the GDPR if he or she considers that the processing of his or her data is contrary to the legislation in force.
