By using this website, users are informed that NO PERSONAL DATA, or any data that could be associated with an individual user, is processed, including through the use of cookies.
Browsing Data
The IT systems and software procedures used to operate this website automatically collect certain anonymous data during their normal operation. The transmission of such data is inherent in the use of Internet communication protocols.
This information is not collected in order to identify users and cannot be used, either on its own or in combination with data held by third parties, to identify individuals.
This category of data includes IP addresses or domain names of the computers used by users connecting to the website, the URI (Uniform Resource Identifier) addresses of the requested resources, the time of the request, the method used to submit the request to the server, the size of the file returned in response, the numerical status code indicating the outcome of the server’s response (successful, error, etc.), and other parameters relating to the user’s operating system and IT environment.
These data are used solely to obtain anonymous statistical information on the use of the website and to ensure its proper functioning.
The data may also be used to establish liability in the event of suspected cybercrime affecting the website.
In particular, the following anonymous and aggregated data are collected:
- selected language;
- content viewed
- duration of the visit.
The museum may also access these data for the same statistical purposes.
Cookie Policy
Cookies
Cookies are small text files that the websites visited by users send to their devices, where they are stored and subsequently retransmitted to the same websites on the users’ next visit. While browsing, users may also receive cookies sent by different websites (see the Italian Data Protection Authority’s Order No. 229 of 8 May 2014).
To regulate the use of cookies correctly, it is necessary to distinguish them according to the purposes for which they are used.
Technical Cookies
Technical cookies are those used solely to “carry out the transmission of a communication over an electronic communications network, or as strictly necessary for the provider of an information society service explicitly requested by the subscriber or user to provide that service” (see Article 122(1) of the Italian Privacy Code and Order No. 229/2014).
They may include browsing or session cookies, which enable the normal operation and use of the website (for example, allowing users to complete a purchase or log in to access restricted areas).
The installation of these cookies does not require users’ prior consent.
Profiling Cookies
Profiling cookies are used to create user profiles and to send advertising messages tailored to users’ preferences as expressed during their browsing activity.
Due to their potentially intrusive nature, users’ prior consent is required before these cookies can be installed, as provided for under Article 122 of the Italian Privacy Code.
Analytics Cookies
Analytics cookies are used to monitor how users interact with the website by generating statistical reports that help the website owner improve its performance and usability.
One of the most widely used web analytics tools is Matomo, which collects anonymous browsing statistics. The Italian Data Protection Authority has clarified that analytics cookies may be treated as technical cookies provided that the IP address is anonymised (even partially) and information sharing is disabled. Otherwise, they are treated as profiling cookies.
The organisation has implemented measures to partially anonymise users’ IP addresses and to limit the data that Matomo can access through its tools.
Each type of cookie may be either:
- First-party cookies, processed and managed directly by the website owner; or
- Third-party cookies, installed and managed by external organisations.
The following categories of cookies are used on this website:
- strictly necessary cookies;
- statistical cookies;
- user experience cookies;
- security cookies.
