A cookie does not have access to the user\u2019s hard-drive, nor can it transmit computer virus or acquire email addresses. Each cookie is unique for the user\u2019s web browser.

In that regard, some operations on the Website may not be completed without the use of cookies, which are in such case technically necessary.

By technical cookies we mean:<\/span><\/p>\n 1) cookies with data filled by the user (identifying the session), lasting one session; or, in some instances, cookies lasting for a few hours;<\/span><\/p>\n 2) cookies for the purpose of authentication, utilized for the purpose of granting the very services requiring authentication, lasting for one session;<\/span><\/p>\n 3) security cookies, used for the protection of the users in order to identify authentication abuses, lasting for a limited time frame;<\/span><\/p>\n 4) session cookies for multimedia readers, such as multimedia for \u201cflash\u201d readers, lasting for one session;<\/span><\/p>\n 5) session cookies for load balancing purposes, lasting for one session;<\/span><\/p>\n 6) cookies persisting for the customization of the user\u2019s interface, lasting for one session (or slightly more);<\/span><\/p>\n 7) cookies for the purpose of content sharing through social plug-ins of third parties, for the benefit of members of a social network who have logged in.<\/span><\/p>\n Therefore, ITA informs first its users that the Website contains technical cookies necessary for browsing such site, since they contain essential functions such as authentication, validation, session management and fraud prevention tools.<\/span><\/p>\n For maximum transparency, here is a list of technical cookies:<\/span><\/p>\n – cookies implanted directly in the terminal of the user\/consumer (not be utilized for additional purposes), such as authentication cookies, multimedia \u2013 such as flash player\u2019s – cookies not lasting longer than the session, etc;<\/span><\/p>\n – cookies utilized with the purpose of a statistical analysis of accesses \/ visits to the Website (so-called analytical cookies) for mere statistical purposes (not marketing or consumer profiling purposes), which collect aggregated information without the possibility of identifying the single user.
