This website uses cookies to provide users with a better service in terms of user experience and content consumption.
Here we provide important information about what cookies are, the categories they are divided into, and which of these are used on our site. We will also indicate procedures for managing such cookies in browsers.
Remember that the website www.garanteprivacy.it/cookie provides basic information about cookie definitions and usage.
Definition
Cookies are short text strings sent to the browser during the visit of a website with a PC, smartphone, or tablet. They can remain in the system for the duration of a session (i.e., until the browser is closed) or for long periods of time and contain unique identifying information.
What are cookies used for?
Some cookies are used for computer authentication, session monitoring, and storing specific information about users who access a web page. These cookies, called technical cookies, are often useful because they can make web browsing and consumption faster and more efficient, for example, by facilitating some procedures when making online purchases, when authenticating to restricted access areas, or when a website automatically recognizes the language usually used. A particular type of cookie, called analytical cookies, is used by website managers to collect information, in aggregate form, about the number of users or how they visit the website itself, and then generate general statistics on the service provided and its usage. Other cookies, called profiling cookies, are used to monitor and profile users during browsing, study their movements and web browsing or consumption habits (what they buy, what they read, etc.), also for the purpose of sending targeted and personalized service advertising (so-called Behavioral Advertising). Another type of cookie is third-party cookies which are typically generated by various elements hosted on the same page, such as advertising banners, social network plugins, images, videos, etc. These cookies are normally read and managed by subjects other than those who manage the visited web pages.
Which cookies are used on our site?
Alfonso S.a.s. uses technical cookies for basic functions such as online sales service, analytical cookies for statistical information collection, and third-party cookies that are automatically provided by external elements such as Google Analytics or Facebook plugins. Profiling cookies are not used.
Google Analytics Cookies
Our website includes components provided by Google Analytics, a statistical analysis service owned by Google that collects data on web traffic. The cookies are third-party and are collected and managed by Google anonymously to monitor and improve site performance. Google Analytics mainly uses proprietary cookies to generate reports on visitor interactions with websites. These cookies are used to store information that does not allow the personal identification of users.
Users can selectively disable the action of Google Analytics by installing a opt-out plugin provided by Google on their browser. To disable Google Analytics action, please refer to the following link: tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout
Social Plugin Cookies
Third-party cookies on our website are also represented by "Social Plugin" cookies (such as Facebook and YouTube). These are portions of the visited web page that are generated directly by the aforementioned sites (YouTube videos, product comments, social account login buttons, etc.). The most common use of social plugins is for sharing content on social networks. The presence of these plugins involves the transmission of cookies to and from websites managed by third parties. The management of information collected by "third parties" is governed by their respective policies to which reference should be made.
Cookie Management
Users can decide whether to accept cookies using their browser settings. The setting can be defined specifically for different websites and web applications. Furthermore, the best browsers allow different settings to be defined for "proprietary" cookies (those generated directly by the visited site) and for "third-party" cookies.
The website of the Privacy Guarantor indicates some methods for managing cookies on your browsing browser:
• Block third-party cookies
Third-party cookies are generally not essential for browsing, so they can be rejected by default, through specific functions of the browser in use.
• Activate the Do Not Track option
The Do Not Track option is present in most modern browsers. Websites designed to respect this option, when activated, should automatically stop collecting some browsing data. As mentioned, however, not all websites are set up to respect this option (discretionary).
• Activate "anonymous browsing" mode
With this function, you can browse without leaving a trace in the browser of browsing data. Websites will not remember your visit, the pages you viewed will not be stored in the history, and new cookies will be deleted when the session ends. However, anonymous browsing does not guarantee anonymity on the Internet because it only serves to not leave browsing data in the browser, while they will continue to be available to website managers and connectivity providers.
• Delete cookies directly
There are specific functions to do this in all browsers. However, remember that new cookies are downloaded every time you connect to the Internet, so the deletion operation should be performed periodically. Some browsers offer automated systems for periodic cookie deletion if desired.
