These cookies are necessary in order for the site to function and allow an efficient and safe navigation.
They can consist of:
- session or authentication cookies;
- cookies for the management of preferences (e.g. language);

These cookies do not collect personal informations and do not require the user's consent.
Analytics cookies
The site uses Web Analytics Italia (WAI), the web analytics platform provided by the Agency for Digital Italy (AgID), to collect aggregate statistical information about the use of the institutional site.
Web Analytics Italia allows you to monitor, in aggregated and anonymised form, data such as:
- number of visitors
- pages visited
- average time spent on the site
- aggregated geographical origin
- type of device and browser used
The system is configured in compliance with personal data protection regulations, with measures to minimise processing (e.g. anonymisation of IP addresses and no profiling purposes).
The data collected:
- is not used for commercial purposes
- is not subject to profiling
- is processed exclusively for statistical purposes and to improve digital services
- is stored on infrastructure located in the European Union
The use of these tools is part of the processing necessary to pursue the institutional purposes of the Entity.
