In compliance with the provisions of the "Cookie and other tracking tools guidelines" adopted by the Italian Data Protection Authority on June 10 2021, the following Cookie Policy has been issued to describe the types of cookies used by the website and the reasons and conditions of their use.

This website makes use of: 
- technical cookies necessary for the correct functioning of navigation; 
- analytical cookies used exclusively for aggregated and anonymous information for statistical purposes.

The website does not use profiling or social media sharing cookies.

1. What are Cookies?
When accessing a website from any device, small text files, called "cookies ", are generally sent and stored on the device itself.
Cookies are widespread and are used by many websites because they allow the website operator to derive useful information, such as whether a computer (or even its user) has visited the website before and which pages they visited. Generally, the purpose of cookies is to improve the website's operation and user experience. Cookies can also be used to send advertising messages, which prompted the Italian Data Protection Authority to issue the above-mentioned legislative measure.
For more information on what cookies are and how they work, please refer to, for example, the Wikipedia site describing them.

2. Types of cookies 
Cookies can be classified according to their type of use:
- TECHNICAL cookies (navigation, session, functionality, analytics);
- PROFILING cookies 
- THIRD-PARTY cookies 
- SOCIAL MEDIA SHARING cookies

2.1 - TECHNICAL navigation or session cookies 
These are used for the purpose of carrying out the transmission of a communication to allow the website to be used correctly. These cookies can be distinguished according to their persistence on the user's terminal: those automatically deleted at the end of each browsing session are called session cookies. If, on the other hand, they have a longer life, they are called persistent cookies.
 The user's prior consent is not required to install this type of cookie.

2.2 - TECHNICAL functionality cookies 
These are used to provide services or to remember settings to improve the user's visit and experience on the site. They allow the user to navigate according to selected criteria (e.g. language). The user's prior consent is not required to install these types of cookies.

2.3 - TECHNICAL analysis cookies 
These are assimilated to technical cookies where they are used directly by the website owner to collect information, in aggregate and anonymous form, on the number of users and how they visit the site. These cookies collect information on how a website is used and allow the owner of a website to have a better knowledge of its users and to improve the functioning of the website itself (for example, the pages visited, the errors that may be encountered, the calculation of the users who are using the services in order to ensure the necessary capacity for fast navigation). In some cases, some of these cookies are managed by third parties (by way of example, Matomo), but they are not allowed to use cookies for purposes other than those listed above.
The user's prior consent is not required to install this type of cookie.

2.4 - PROFILING COOKIES 
Profiling cookies are designed to create user profiles. They are used to send advertising messages in line with the preferences expressed by the user when surfing the web. Due to the particular invasiveness that these instruments and tools may have in the private sphere of users, European and Italian regulations require that the user be adequately informed about their use and thus express their valid consent, in addition to allowing them to be uninstalled at any time.
This site does not use this type of cookie.

2.5 - THIRD-PARTY cookies 
Third-party cookies are defined as those provided by third parties other than the site owner, which provide these services in exchange for information about the user's visit. It follows that third-party cookie providers are also obliged to comply with the relevant legislation. For this reason, we refer you to the links to the web pages of the third party's website, where you can find the forms for collecting consent to cookies and their respective disclosures. 
Here is a list of the aforementioned third-party services used with the website: 
- Matomo On-Premise, installed on servers owned by the Municipality of Venice.

2.6 – Social media sharing cookies 
These cookies facilitate the sharing of site content via social networks. If there are links to these sites, you can visit the relevant social network websites in order to view their privacy and cookie policies.
This site does not use this type of cookie.

3. How to change cookie settings

Most browsers automatically accept cookies, but users can generally change the settings to disable this function.
It is possible to block all types of cookies or accept receiving only some and disable others. The "Options" or "Preferences" section in the browser menu allows you to opt out of receiving cookies and other user-tracking technologies and how to be notified by the browser of the activation of these technologies. Alternatively, you can also consult the "Help" section of the toolbar in most browsers.
It is important to remember that the complete deactivation of all cookies, including technical cookies, may result in malfunctioning the site you are visiting.
