Information pursuant to Article 13 of the General Data Protection Regulation 2016/679
This document supplements the Privacy Policy, to which reference is made for the sake of completeness, with the aim of informing users of this website about how the website uses cookies.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files containing small amounts of information that are downloaded to your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. Cookies are then sent back to the website from which they originated on each future visit or to another website that recognises the cookie. Cookies are useful because they allow websites to recognise individual users’ devices (such as login information, chosen language, font size and other display settings). Cookies make it possible to customise a website to a user’s preferences so that they do not have to set their preferences every time they visit.
Cookies, therefore, are used to perform computer authentication, monitor sessions and observe the behaviour of users on a website. They may also contain a unique identifier code that tracks user navigation within the website for statistical or advertising purposes. While browsing the website, the user may also receive cookies from other websites or web servers on their computer or mobile device (“third-party cookies”). Some operations may not work or not work properly without the use of cookies, so, in some instances, they are technically necessary for the proper operation of the website.
There are various types of cookies. Depending on their characteristics and functions, they can be stored on your computer or mobile device for different periods of time. Session cookies expire once the browser is closed. In contrast, persistent cookies remain on the user’s device until a predetermined expiry date.
Under current Italian law, the use of cookies does not always require the express consent of the user. In particular, the so-called “technical” cookies do not require consent, for example, to transmit a message via an electronic communication network or to provide a service explicitly requested by the user. In other words, these cookies are essential cookies for the proper functioning of the site or to perform activities requested by the user.
“Analytical cookies”, used directly by the website operator to collect information on the number and behaviour of users of this website
Navigation or session cookies (for authentication, making a purchase, etc.)
Functionality cookies that allow the user to navigate according to a set of selected preferences (e.g., language, products selected for purchase) to improve the service offered to the user.
For the so-called profiling cookies, on the other hand, i.e., those aimed at creating profiles of the user and used to send advertising messages in line with the preferences expressed by the user while browsing the web, the user’s prior consent is required.
What type of cookies do we use?
This website does not use profiling cookies. However, this website uses the following cookies:
Technical cookies, i.e., browsing or session cookies, ensure the proper functioning of the website and the availability of the content and services requested by the user.
Analytical cookies help to understand how users interact with the website. These cookies do not collect information about the user’s identity or personal data; they are comparable to technical cookies, as the entire IP address is masked. The data is processed in aggregate and anonymous form. This type of cookie is installed by Siteimprove Analytics and allows detailed statistics to be compiled on visitors to the website despite the IP address being masked.
Third-party cookies are cookies that originate from other websites or web servers and serve the purposes specific to those third parties.
When you visit a website, cookies are set both by the visited site (“owner”) and by other organisations (“third parties”). Notably, this includes the “social plugins” from platforms such as Facebook, X (formerly known as Twitter) and Google. These areas of the visited website are generated by third-party sites and integrated into the visited website. The most common use of social plugins is for the purpose of sharing content on social networks.
The presence of these plugins results in the transmission of cookies to and from all sites operated by third parties. This information from “third parties” is managed in the corresponding regulations, which must be observed. For the sake of transparency and convenience, the web addresses of the different policies and cookie management methods are listed below.
If you access the site using different devices or browsers, you will need to reset your cookie settings.
You can change your cookie settings at any time by clicking on the green keyhole icon on the right side of the page.
Technical and analytical cookies
Description: Technical cookies – which are strictly necessary for the operation of the website or enable the user to access the content and services they requested – and analytical cookies – which are installed in aggregate and anonymous form to understand how the website is used – do not require the user’s prior consent for their use.
Cookies from third-party providers
Description: These are cookies from various websites or web servers used for these third parties’ purposes. The Autonomous Province of Bolzano/Bozen is unable to exercise specific control over these third parties and their cookies. They are used to provide the user with services for delivering content from the main social networks, including multimedia content, or for sharing the same.
Management of cookies via the browser settings
In addition to this process, you can enable, block or delete (in whole or in part) cookies through the specific functions of your browser. If all or some cookies are disabled, however, it is possible that the website is unable to be browsed, that some services or certain functions of the website are not available or do not work properly and/or that you are forced to change or manually enter certain information or preferences each time you visit the website.
Below, we have compiled links to detailed information on deactivating cookies in the most common web browsers.

Siteimprove Analytics
This website uses Siteimprove Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Siteimprove. This is hosted on Amazon AWS and uses latency-based routing to determine which endpoints to use. Endpoints are in Frankfurt (DE) and the USA (East and West). For European customers, Frankfurt is used as the primary endpoint of Amazon AWS. Only in the event of a very long time between request and response at AWS Frankfurt (latency) or in the unlikely event that AWS Frankfurt is no longer available is the data retrieved from the endpoints in the USA with the lowest latency.
