PRIVACY POLICY (simplified)
The purpose of the privacy policy is to provide maximum transparency with regard to the information collected by the website and how it uses it.
In compliance with the obligations deriving from national legislation (Legislative Decree No. 196 of June 30th 2003, Personal Data Protection Regulation, as amended) and European legislation (European Regulation for the protection of personal data No. 679/2016, GDPR ), this website respects and protects the privacy of visitors and users, making every effort possible and proportionate so as not to prejudice the rights of the users.
In particular, this website does not post advertisements, it does not use data for advertising purposes, but it does use third-party services in order to improve the use of the website, third parties that could collect user data and then use it to send customized advertisements to other websites. For example, the website uses YouTube videos in some cases, which are set to not send cookies (and therefore not to collect data) until the user plays the video. In fact, you can see that instead of the video there is only a placeholder. The website also uses social plugins to simplify the sharing of articles on social networks. These plugins are configured so that they send cookies (and therefore possibly collect data) only after the user has clicked on them.
For more information you can read the complete policy below.

LEGAL BASIS OF THE PROCESSING
