Information to be provided on the use of cookies – Don Oreste Benzi Foundation Version of 5/15/2018
This policy provides guidance on how cookies are used and how they can be controlled by the user.
Use of this website (and any other website operated by us) implies your acceptance of the use of cookies (and similar technologies) in accordance with this policy.
In particular, you agree to the use of analytics, social advertising, marketing and profiling cookies, functionality for the purposes described below.
If the user accepts profiling cookies, as further identified below, these will be added to his or her existing profile in our databases, if the user has given consent to marketing and profiling activities on the occasion of his or her adherence to one or more of the initiatives conducted by our site (e.g.: during registration, for e-commerce actions), or on the occasion of actions performed in adherence to initiatives via telephone, Sms or traditional mail or through advanced techniques of communication and sharing (e.g.: social networks).
If the user does not wish to accept the use of cookies for purposes of analysis, advertising, profiling, he/she has the possibility to change the setting of his/her browser in the manner described in the section “How to control and delete cookies”.
What are cookies Cookies are information stored on the hard disk of the user’s terminal and which are sent by the user’s browser to a Web server and which relate to network usage.
As a result, they allow us to learn about the services, sites frequented and options manifested by surfing the net.
In other words, cookies are small files, containing letters and numbers, that are downloaded to the user’s computer or mobile device when visiting a Web site.
The cookies are then sent back to the original site on each subsequent visit, or to another Web site that recognizes these cookies.
Cookies are useful because they allow a Web site to recognize the user’s device.
This information is, therefore, not provided spontaneously and directly, but leaves a record of the user’s Web browsing.
Cookies perform a number of functions and allow the user to navigate between pages efficiently, remembering the user’s preferences and, more generally, improving the user’s experience.
They can also help ensure that the advertisements shown while browsing are of interest to you and that the marketing activities carried out are in accordance with your preferences, avoiding promotional initiatives that are unwelcome or not in line with your needs.
While browsing on a site, the user may also receive on his terminal cookies that are sent from different sites or web servers (so-called “third parties”), on which some elements (e.g.: images, maps, sounds, specific links to pages of other domains) present on the site he is visiting may reside.
There may be, therefore, in this respect:
- Direct cookies, sent directly from this site to the user’s device
- Third-party cookies, originating from a third party but sent on our behalf.
This site uses third-party cookies to facilitate analysis of our Web site and their usage, and to enable targeted advertisements (as described below).
In addition, depending on the purpose for which cookies are used, they can be distinguished into:
- Technical cookies: are used to enable the transmission of a communication over an electronic communications network or to deliver a service expressly requested by the user.
They are not used for any other purpose.
In the category of technical cookies, the use of which does not require the user’s consent, we distinguish:- Browsing or session cookies: they ensure normal navigation and use of the website (e.g.: to authenticate and access restricted areas).
The use of these cookies (which are not stored persistently on the user’s device and are automatically deleted when the browser is closed) is strictly limited to the transmission of session identifiers (consisting of random numbers generated by the server) necessary to enable the safe and efficient exploration of the site. - Analytics cookies: whether they are used only to collect information in aggregate, about the number of users visiting the site and how they visit the site
- Functionality cookies: allow the user to navigate based on a selected set of criteria (e.g., language, products or services purchased) to improve the service provided to the user.
- Browsing or session cookies: they ensure normal navigation and use of the website (e.g.: to authenticate and access restricted areas).
- Profiling cookies: these are aimed at creating profiles related to the user and used to send targeted promotional messages according to the preferences expressed while browsing the web.
These cookies can only be used for such purposes with the user’s consent.

Cookie-like technologies As with many websites, we use cookie-like technologies, including local shared objects (also known as “flash cookies”), browser history analysis, browser fingerprinting, and pixel tags (also known as “web beacons”).
These technologies provide us and our suppliers with information about how the site and its content are used by visitors, and allow us to identify whether your computer or device has visited our or other sites in the past.
Our servers automatically collect your IP address; in this way, we may associate that address with your user domain name or the name of your Internet Provider.
We may also collect some “clickstream data” related to site usage.
Clickstream data includes, for example, information related to the user’s computer or device, browser and operating system and its settings, the page it came from, the pages and content viewed or clicked on during the visit as well as the timing and manner of such operations, the items downloaded, the site visited next to ours, and any search terms entered on our site or on a redirect site. How to control or delete cookies You have the right to choose whether or not to accept cookies.
Below is some information on how to exercise this right.
However, please note that if you choose to reject cookies, you may not be able to use all of the features of the site and, if you have consented to profiling at other times, the communications you receive may not be relevant to your interests.
Also note that if you choose to manage your cookie preferences, our cookie management tool will still set a technical cookie on your device to allow us to execute your preferences.
Deleting or removing cookies from your device will also result in the removal of the preference cookie; these choices will, therefore, need to be made again.
You can block cookies using the selection links in the table above.
Alternatively, you can change your browser settings so that cookies cannot be stored on your device.
To do this, you must follow the instructions provided by your browser (usually found in the “Help,” “Tools or “Edit” menus).
Deactivating a cookie or category of cookies does not delete them from the browser.
Therefore, this will have to be done directly in the browser.
If you want to delete, disable, or restore cookies on your computer, you can use the cookie configuration pages provided by any third-party content providers, or through your browser options.
