- the data provided from time to time by users relative to the specific service requested;
- data relating to the functionality of the website in the form of session and variable storage cookies that do not contain any personally identifiable information (PII); These data are processed exclusively for institutional purposes of CONTROLLER (website operation), in particular for the technical functionality required by the software and systems for the availability of web content shared between CONTROLLER and users, as well as for the provision of the specific services requested by users. The legal basis of the processing is therefore the ability to provide website content to the user.
2. Methods of processing, retention period and consequences of non-disclosure of data.

Data collection takes place in compliance with the principles of relevance, completeness and non-excess in relation to the purposes for which they are processed. Failure to provide the data referred to in paragraph 1, letters a) and b), preclude the establishment and continuation of the relationship with CONTROLLER. The omitted supply of the data indicated in point 1, letter c), makes it impossible to access the services requested or limits the functionality of the website, especially in cases where said website has membership functionality. The personal data provided is processed in compliance with the principles of lawfulness, correctness and pertinence provided for by the law, also with the aid of IT and telematic tools for storing and managing the data, which will be kept for the duration of the contractual relationship and for the following 5 years with the exception of different legal obligations, and in any case in such a way as to guarantee their security and protect the privacy of the person concerned. The data may be processed anonymously for statistical activities aimed at improving the services offered.
3. Data Controllers and processors
The sole data controller is CONTROLLER as per the contact details above. Data processors are CONTROLLER employees and collaborators who process the data in compliance with current laws on the matter, for institutional purposes and in compliance with legislative obligations.

Website Cookie Policy
This website, as most on the Internet, uses variable storage – more commonly called cookies. These are in-use for a variety of reasons detailed below.
Cookies are small text files that are stored locally on your computer and can only be accessed by the server that saved them. These allow for websites to provide services and a seamless experience by saving variables such as screen width, last item viewed, visitor preferences or session information. This last part, session information, is very important to keep tabs on your status on the site, while visiting. These session cookies attach a random and anonymous session variable to your visit so that when you change pages and move about the site, your experience is continuous. Without session variables, multiple visitors would clash and one user’s clicks may be interpreted by the server as that of another.
Many times, public websites share affiliate code and set cookies for one-another in order to track users across domains. This type of marketing has been commonplace on the Internet for many years and is generally reserved to commercial sites that monetize the visitor. Our sites NEVER SHARE ANY INFORMATION WITH THIRD PARTIES and furthermore WE DO NOT TRACK, NOR ALLOW TRACKING FROM OUR SITES EXCEPT AS STATED IN THIRD-PARTY COOKIES (3 below).
Our site uses the following types of cookies:
1) Session Cookies
These types of cookies expire when you leave the site and are mainly used to ensure a seamless experience. In the case of sites where we offer membership and login, these cookies allow you to login and be represented as you.
2) First-Party Cookies
These are cookies that our site may set to store simple variables. Our sites do not store any of your personal information and these cookies are purely used to manage your visit experience. Specifically, a site may track the browser width in pixels so that the page renders correctly, which slide in a presentation series you’ve seen so as to allow navigation through the slides and similar and similar, purely technical, reasons. In no cases are these cookies used for tracking or analysis.
3) Third-Party Cookies
We do not utilize any third-party cookies. Traditionally where these appear is when advertising is presented to the user. Our sites do not serve any advertisements nor do we share or sell our data to any third parties. However, when utilizing services that provide video (e.g. Vimeo, YouTube), embedded PDF slideshows (e.g. Youblisher, Issu) or other externally-served content, these service providers may try and set cookies for their own purposes. While we cannot control their software implementation, your consent (as discussed below) will determine whether these are set or not.
Cookie Consent:
Upon arriving at our site, as a citizen of the EU and related affected countries under GDPR regulation, you will be presented with an option to accept or decline cookies. When declining cookies, please note that Session Cookies may be provided regardless and are allowed per Recital 30 of the GDPR. However, by declining the cookie consent, your website browsing experience may be diminished (certain content not showing, especially those from third parties) or completely impossible, as in the case of sites where membership is possible.
At any time, you can click on the Cookie Policy button at the bottom of the page to remove your previously granted consent to use cookies, or to give consent. Should you choose to revoke consent, your browsing experience will be the same as that when declining the ability for the site to set cookies.
