Privacy & Cookie Policy.

 

The purpose of the privacy policy is to provide maximum transparency regarding the information that the site collects and how it is used. In compliance with the obligations deriving from national legislation (Code regarding the protection of personal data

Codice in materia di protezione dei dati personali (Testo coordinato) - Garante Privacy

and European legislation (European regulation for the protection of personal data GDPR - Garante Privacy), we respect and protect the privacy of visitors and users, putting in place every possible and proportionate effort in order not to infringe on users' rights. We do not publish advertisements, we do not use data for the purpose of sending advertising, however we do use third-party services in order to improve the use of the site, third parties that could collect user data and then use them to send personalized advertisements on other sites. However, we make every effort to protect user privacy and minimize the collection of personal data. for example: – we use social plugins to simplify the sharing of articles on social networks, but configured so that they send cookies (and therefore possibly collect data) only after the user has clicked on the plugin; For information, it should be noted that managing cookies is complicated, both on our part, as site managers (who may not be able to correctly manage third-party cookies) and on the part of the user (who could block essential cookies for the operation of the site). A better, and simpler, way to protect privacy is to use anti-tracer tools, like Privacy Badger and  uBlock Origin - Free, open-source ad content blocker.) For more information on the processing of personal data, you can read the complete information below.
