Privacy and cookie policy

SIMPLIFIED PRIVACY POLICY

The purpose of the privacy policy is to provide maximum transparency regarding the information the site collects and how it uses it. In compliance with the obligations arising from national (Legislative Decree No. 196 of June 30, 2003, Code for the Protection of Personal Data, as amended) and European (European Regulation for the Protection of Personal Data No. 2016/679, GDPR) legislation, this site respects and protects the privacy of visitors and users, making every possible and proportionate effort not to infringe the rights of users.

This site does not publish advertisements, does not use data for the purpose of sending advertisements, however it does make use of third-party services in order to improve the use of the site, third parties who may collect user data and then use it to send personalized advertisements on other sites. However, this site makes every effort to protect user privacy and minimize the collection of personal data. For example, the site may use YouTube videos on some pages, which are set to not send cookies (and thus not collect data) until the user presses ok on the cookie bar banner. You can see, in fact, that instead of the video there is only a placeholder. The site also uses social plugins to make it easier to share articles on social networks. Such plugins are configured to send cookies (and thus possibly collect data) only after the user clicks on the plugin.

For your information, we point out that cookie management is complicated, both on the part of the site operator (who may not be able to properly manage third-party cookies) and on the part of the user (who may block cookies that are essential for the site to function). So a better, and easier, way to protect privacy lies in the use of anti-tracking tools, which then block tracking by sites (read -> Protecting your privacy online. We recommend the use of Privacy Badger and uBlock Origin)

For more information you can read the full policy below.
