Browsing data, cookies and other tracking tools
1.1 Browsing data
The computer systems and software procedures used to operate the Website acquire, during their normal operation, certain personal data whose transmission is implicit in the use of Internet communication protocols.
This information is not collected to be associated with identified persons, but by its very nature could, through processing and association with data held by third parties, allow users to be identified.
This category of data includes IP addresses or the domain names of the computers used by users who connect to the Website, the URI (Uniform Resource Identifier) addresses of the resources requested, the time of the request, the method used to submit the request to the server, the size of the file obtained in response, the numerical code indicating the status of the response given by the server (successful, error, etc.), and other parameters relating to the user's operating system and computer environment.
These data are used for the sole purpose of obtaining anonymous statistical information on the use of the Website and to check its correct functioning and are deleted immediately after processing.
The data could be used to ascertain liability in case of hypothetical computer crimes against the Website: excluding this case, the data are kept for the time defined by the relevant regulations or, in general, for the time strictly necessary to provide the user with the requested service and to guarantee the transmission of the communication.
1.2 Cookies and other tracking tools
Cookies are usually strings of text that websites (so-called publishers or “first party”) visited by the user or other websites and other web services (so-called “third parties”) place and store within a computer device accessed by the user. These are stored directly, in the case of publishers, and indirectly in the case of “third parties”. The devices referred to are, for example, a personal computer, tablet, smartphone, or any other device capable of storing information.
Software for navigating the Internet and operating these devices, e.g. browsers, can store cookies and then transmit them back to the websites that generated them on a subsequent visit by the same user, thus maintaining memory of the user's previous interaction with one or more websites.
Information encoded in cookies can include personal data, such as an IP address, user name, unique identifier, or e-mail address, but it can also contain non-personal data, such as language settings or information about the type of device a person is using to browse the website.
Cookies can therefore perform important and diverse functions including, tracking sessions, storing information about specific configurations regarding users accessing the server, facilitating the enjoyment of online content, and so on. They can, for instance, be used to keep track of the items in an online shopping cart or the information used to fill out a web form. Through cookies it is possible to allow web pages to load faster, as well as to route information on a network, in line with the fulfilments strictly related to the operation of websites. Through cookies it is also possible to convey behavioural advertising and measure the effectiveness of the advertising message, i.e. to conform type and mode of services rendered to the behaviours of the user object of previous observation.
The above can also be achieved through the use of other tools (all of which can be distinguished between the so-called “active identifiers”, like cookies, and “passive identifiers”, the latter merely implying observation), which make it possible to perform processing similar to that specified herein above.
1.3 Types of cookies
Cookies and other tracking tools may have different features from a time-related perspective, and thus be classified according to their duration (session-based or permanent cookies), or from a subjective perspective (depending on whether the publisher acts independently or on behalf of the “third party”). However, the classification that mainly meets user protection requirements is the one based on two macro-categories.
Similarly to cookies, other tracking tools can also be classified according to a number of different criteria, of which the main one remains the purpose for which they are used: technical or commercial.
-
Technical cookies that do not require the user's consent.
These cookies are used for the sole purpose of “allowing the transmission of communications through an electronic communication network, or in a manner strictly necessary for an information society service provider in order to provide a service required by a contracting party or a user” (see Section 122, para. 1 of the Italian Privacy Code).
Users' prior consent is not required for the installation of technical cookies. However, all browsers allow users to change cookie settings. These settings can usually be found in the “options” or “preferences” menu of the user's browser. To understand these settings, the following links may be helpful. Alternatively, the “Help” feature in the browser can be used for more information.
If the use of technical cookies is blocked, the service offered to the user through the Website will be limited, thus affecting the user experience of the Website itself.
-
Profiling cookies and other cookies that require the user's consent
They are used to trace specific actions or recurring behavioural patterns in the use of the available functions back to specific identified or identifiable subjects, in order to group the various profiles within homogeneous clusters of different sizes, so that it is possible for the Data Controller, inter alia, to modulate the provision of the service in an increasingly personalised manner beyond what is strictly necessary for the provision of the service, as well as to send targeted advertising messages, i.e. in line with the preferences shown by the user while surfing the web. This type of cookie can be downloaded to the user's terminal only with the user's consent.
This category also includes cookies used to enable interaction and easy sharing of content on social networks and/or to allow targeted advertising messages to be sent on the basis of the user's preferences (so-called “social cookies”).
-
Analytical cookies (which may or may not require user’s consent depending on their characteristics)
Cookies may be used, among other things, to assess the effectiveness of an information society service provided by a publisher, for the design of a website or to help measure its “traffic,” i.e. the number of visitors also possibly broken down by geographic area, time zone or other characteristics. These identifiers, referred to as analytical cookies, may be included in the category of technical cookies, and as such may be used without first obtaining the consent of the data subject, provided that the following conditions are met:
- are only used to produce aggregate statistics and in relation to a single website or mobile application;
- at least the fourth component of the IP address is masked for those of third parties;
- third parties refrain from combining such analytical cookies with other processing (customer files or statistics of visits to other websites, for example) or passing them on to other third parties.
If these conditions are not met, analytical cookies also require user consent in order to be downloaded.
1.4 Where information collected through cookies is processed
Information collected through cookies is processed primarily within the European Economic Area (EEA). Certain third-party cookies, however, may result in the transfer of related information outside the EEA. In such a case, the Company has taken additional technical and organizational measures to ensure the security of any personal data transmitted with the information collected by the cookies, favoring where possible the anonymization of the same. In any case, any transfer is made in compliance with Chapter V of the Data Protection Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (“GDPR”) e.g. because there is an adequacy decision by the European Commission pursuant to Article 45 of the GDPR towards the third country or because the transfer takes place on the basis of suitable safeguards pursuant to Article 46 of the GDPR.
For detailed information with respect to such transfers, users may write to the company at any time using the information in Section 3 below. Contacts.
