General information about Cookies
In compliance with UE Reg. 679/2016 as well as provided by the Personal Data Protection Supervisor with the resolution of the 8th May 2014 for identifying simplified procedures for the information policy and the acquisition of consent to the use of cookies – published in the Official Bulletin nr. 126 of the 3rd of June 2014 – and subject to any further amendment, the Data Controller hereby provides information with this “Cookie Policy”.
The purpose of this “Cookie Policy” is to provide users with all information relating to art. 13 of the GDPR and to describe in a specific and analytical manner the features and purposes of cookies being installed on the website where users can select/deselect cookies.
Processing through the use of cookies is carried out by means of automated instruments and the data retention period depends on the type of cookie used.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are sent to users’ terminals when they visit websites (usually to browsers: Google Chrome, Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, etc.), where they are stored and later retransmitted to the same sites upon a subsequent visit by the same users.
Why are Cookies useful?
Cookies are useful because they allow websites to recognise a user’s device and this leads to an improvement of the browsing experience. In fact, one of the primary purposes of cookies is to allow users to effectively browse the website pages, to remind them of their favourite websites, to store the language, etc.; cookies also help to ensure that online advertising contents are targeted to the particular interests of the user.
Cookie classification.
Cookies are classified in different types:
1) based upon DURATION like the “session” cookies (automatically deleted by the browser when it closes) or “persistent” cookies (active until their expiration date or when deleted by the user)
2) according to their SOURCE, cookies can be “first-party” (sent to the browser directly from the website that user is visiting) or “third-party” (sent to the browser from other websites than the one user is visiting)
3) based upon PURPOSES, cookies can be “technical” or “profiling”. Such classification is worth an in depth analysis.
Technical cookies
Technical cookies help to improve the user browsing experience. In fact, without the use of technical cookies, some operations would be much more complex and almost impossible to be carried out. These cookies – which can be first-party or third-party, session or permanent cookies – do not require prior user’s consent to be installed. Technical cookies are “strictly necessary” when they allow you to effectively navigate the website and use the essential features, such as to carry out electronic authentications or storage of previous actions. If user blocks these cookies, the browsing experience could be compromised. Technical cookies are “functionality” cookies when they allow to improve the browsing experience by storing the user’s preferences, such as the language, the name and the location. If user blocks these cookies, browsing experience will not be compromised, but the user will not be able to use these useful services. Technical cookies are “analytical” when they allow to collect information on how visitors interacts with the website by analysing the number of pages visited, the time spent on the website, the most visited pages and any other details monitored during navigation such as errors coming from the visited page. These cookies allow the data controller to obtain statistical data regarding navigation and to improve the services offered to the users. Analytical cookies are technical – (not profiling) – only when the website data controller has adopted specific tools to decrease the identifying power of the analytical cookies used, through the masking of significant portions of the IP address. Prior user’s consent is not required to install technical cookies. Therefore, when the website uses only technical cookies, the data controller doesn’t need to have such consent through the cookie banner. However, this cookie policy (that the user is reading now) is mandatory.
Profiling cookies.
Profiling cookies are activated only after the user’s consent is given. Consent is given by clicking “OK” (or “continue”, etc.) on the homepage banner or on another page of the same website or by deliberate action of the user (i.e., by selecting any content on the page below the same banner). Profiling cookies are used to improve the services offered by the Data Controller and to select and send advertisements based on user’s preferences shown during navigation. The use of profiling cookies for the purpose of sending targeted advertisements does not involve the visualization of many advertisements and the browsing experience shall not be hampered. As a matter of fact, by disabling the profiling cookies the user will visualize only general advertising instead of advertisements in line with his/her interests. As an example, profiling cookies are those third-party statistical – analytic cookies without IP masking and without data crossing or the advertising, tracking or conversion cookies.
