2. The personal data we process
2.1 Browsing data
During their normal operation, the computer systems and software procedures used to operate the Website acquire certain personal data, the transmission of which to the Data Controller is implicit in the use of internet communication protocols.
This is information that is not collected to be associated with identified data subjects, but which by its very nature could, through processing and association with data held by third parties, allow users to be identified.
This category of data includes the IP addresses or domain names of the computers used by users connecting to the site, the addresses of the requested resources in URI (Uniform Resource Identifier) notation, the time of the request, the method used to submit the request to the server, the size of the file obtained in response, the numeric code indicating the status of the response given by the server (success, error, etc.) and other parameters relating to the operating system and the user's computer environment.
This data is used only to obtain anonymous statistical information on the use of the site and to check that it is working correctly; it is deleted after processing. The data could be used to establish responsibility for potential cybercrime against the Website.

To fulfil the purposes described in point 3 above, your personal data will be known by the Data Controller's dependent and quasi-dependent personnel and by its contractors, all acting in the capacity of persons authorised to process personal data.

Technical cookies (which do NOT require your consent)
According to current legislation in Italy, express consent is not always required for the use of cookies. In particular, no such consent is required for technical cookies, i.e. those used for the sole purpose of carrying out the transmission of a communication over an electronic communications network, or as strictly necessary to provide a service explicitly requested by the user. These are, in other words, cookies essential for the functioning of the website or necessary to perform tasks requested by the user.
