The purpose of this Cookie Policy is to describe how the website
www.itfrarediseases.com (hereinafter referred to as the
“Website”) is managed with regard to the use of cookies and the related processing of personal data of users visiting the website.
This Cookie Policy applies exclusively to visitors/users of the website. It does not apply, therefore, to information collected through channels other than this website.

What are internet cookies?
Cookies are small text strings used to make the user experience more efficient, e.g. by ensuring secure computer authentication, session tracking and storing specific information about users accessing the server.
Some operations could not be performed without the use of cookies, which are therefore technically necessary in some cases.
The law provides that ‘technical’ cookies may be used even without consent; these include
-
- Cookies implanted in the user’s/contractor’s terminal directly by the owner of the individual website, if they are not used for any further purposes: this is the case with session cookies, authentication cookies, personalisation cookies (e.g. for choosing the navigation language), etc.
- Cookies used to statistically analyse access/visits to the website (so-called ‘analytics’ cookies), which only serve statistical purposes and collect information in aggregate form.
Instead, ‘profiling’ cookies are aimed at creating profiles of the user and are used in order to send advertising messages in line with the preferences expressed by the user while surfing the web. Due to the particular invasiveness that such devices (‘profiling’ cookies) may have in the private sphere of users, European and Italian laws provide that users must be adequately informed about the use of such devices and thus express their valid consent to the processing of their personal data.
A further element to be considered concerns third-party cookies. This type of cookie integrates functionality developed by third parties within the pages of the website such as icons and preferences expressed in social networks for the purpose of sharing website content or for the use of third party software services (such as software to generate maps and other software offering additional services). These cookies are sent from third party domains and partner websites that offer their functionality between the pages of the website.
Finally, cookies are also distinguished on the basis of how long they remain on the user’s device in:
-
- Session cookies, which are deleted immediately when the browser is closed;
- Persistent cookies, which, unlike session cookies, remain in the browser for a set period of time. They are used, for example, to recognise the device connecting to the website by facilitating authentication operations for the user.
What cookies are used on this website?
This website uses technical cookies for the purposes of the proper functioning of the pages of this website, improving its security and conducting aggregate research and analysis to improve its content and profiling cookies.
This website uses cookies to optimise user navigation. These technologies do not in any case allow the saving of data, user credentials or other information on the device, in order to maintain the security level of the website.
The cookies used on the website and their characteristics are explained in the tables below.
Necessary – default activation
Necessary cookies help make a website usable by enabling basic functions such as page navigation and access to secure areas of the website. The website cannot work properly without these cookies.
