Privacy Policy
The purpose of the privacy policy is to provide maximum transparency in regards of the information the site collects and how it uses it.
In compliance with the obligations resulting from the national legislation (D. Lgs 30th June 2003 n.196, Civil Code regarding the protection of personal data, and further modifications) and european (European regulation for the protection of personal data n. 679/2016, GDPR), this site respects and protects the privacy of visitors and users, making every possible and proportionate effort not to harm the rights of users.
Particularly, this site does not publish advertisements, does not use data for the purpose of sending advertising, but it makes use of third-party services in order to improve the use of the site, third parties which may collect user’s data and then use them to send personalized advertisements on other sites. For example, the site uses YouTube videos in some cases, which are set so as not to send cookies (and then not to collect data) until when the user starts the video. In fact, you can see that instead of the video there is only a placeholder. Also, the site uses social plugins to simplify sharing articles on social networks. These plugins are set so that they send cookies (and therefore eventually collect data) only after the user has clicked.
