The computer systems and software procedures used to operate the website acquire, during their normal operation, some personal data whose transmission is implicit in the communication protocols of the Internet.

These data are used exclusively to obtain anonymous statistical information on the use of the website and to check its correct functioning, to detect anomalies and/or misuse and are deleted immediately after processing. The data may be used to ascertain liability in the event of hypothetical computer offences against the website or third parties. Apart from this possibility, the data collected on the website will be deleted after 72 hours at the latest.
