Introduction
This policy explains how this website uses cookies, providing clear and relevant information so users can make choices about what happens when they access the site. The policy uses the term “cookie” to refer to information files that store a user’s internet browsing activity on the user’s computer to speed up and optimize searches, as well as legally recognized similar technologies, such as Local Shared Objects (commonly called “flash cookies”), web beacons or bugs, including transparent clear GIFs. The information collected concerns data that could identify users or visitors when associated and processed with data held by third parties, such as IP address numbers and domain names of computers used to connect to the website. This data is used only for statistical purposes.
This document is an integral and substantial part of the Privacy Policy and the notice contained in it, also issued pursuant to EU Regulation No. 2016/679 (GDPR). You are therefore invited to read that document.
Applicable Law
The matter is governed by European Directive 2002/58/EC—subsequently amended by Directive 2009/136/EC and implemented in the national legislation of European Union member states—which requires consent for cookies and similar technologies.
What Is a Cookie?
A cookie is a small text file, generally made up of letters and numbers, downloaded to a device when a user accesses a website. Cookies are then sent to the originating site on each subsequent visit. Cookies are useful because they allow a website to recognize a user’s device.
The use of cookies and similar technologies has long been commonplace because cookies are important in providing many online services. The use of these technologies is therefore not prohibited by law, but it requires that users be informed about cookies and offered the opportunity to accept or decline them.
Different Types of Cookies
Cookies may expire at the end of a browser session, from when a user opens the browser window until the browser is closed, or they may be retained longer.
Session and Persistent Cookies
Session cookies allow websites to link a user’s actions during a browser session. They may be used for various purposes, such as remembering what a user placed in a shopping cart while browsing a site. They may also be used for security when a user accesses online banking or to facilitate the use of webmail. These session cookies expire after a browser session.
The use of so-called session cookies, which are not persistently stored on the user’s computer and are automatically deleted when the browser is closed, is strictly limited to transmitting data consisting of server-generated random numbers that identify the specific session and are necessary for secure and efficient browsing. The session cookies used on this site avoid the use of other computing techniques that could potentially harm the privacy of users’ online browsing.
Persistent cookies are stored on users’ devices between separate browser sessions and make it possible to remember a user’s actions on a site. Persistent cookies may be used for various purposes, including remembering users’ preferences and choices when using a site, or in some cases across different websites.
Whether a cookie is first-party or third-party is closely connected to the website or domain that uses that cookie. First-party cookies are cookies set by the website visited by the user—the site displayed in the URL window; in this case, cookies set by www.dominio.it. Third-party cookies are set by a domain other than the one visited, meaning they are set by websites other than www.dominio.it. When you visited www.dominio.it, Google Analytics set the cookie called “_ga” through the gstatic.com domain; this specific cookie is a third-party cookie.
Data Controller
Local Web, as identified in the Privacy Policy, is the controller of and is responsible only for its own first-party cookies. Third-party cookies are controlled by the respective companies identified in the table in this document.
Cookie Consent
Some cookies are strictly necessary for the proper functioning of the internet and do not require user consent, such as cookies that ensure page content loads quickly and effectively, distribute workloads among different computers, or ensure security.
Other cookies may be reasonably necessary or important but are not strictly essential and therefore require user consent.
This site uses various techniques to collect user consent. One method is selecting the specific box on the cookie banner displayed on the site’s access page, which indicates the use of cookies.
Browser settings are another way to grant consent or, conversely, refuse cookies. Users can set their browser to notify them of cookies, allowing them to decide whether to accept them. It is also possible to automatically reject all cookies by activating the appropriate browser option. Each browser provides instructions for this purpose.
Withdrawal of Consent
Your consent to the use of cookies may be withdrawn at any time, although withdrawal may affect the website’s functionality.
Disabling Cookies
Cookies are linked to the browser being used and can be disabled directly in the browser, thereby refusing or withdrawing consent to their use. Please note that disabling cookies may prevent some site features from working properly. Instructions for disabling cookies can be found on the following web pages:
