Cookies Policy
The purpose of this Cookie Policy is to inform users about the procedures followed for the collection and management of data in connection with their visit to the website expea.it (hereinafter the “Website”), through the use of cookies and/or other monitoring technologies and/or web trackers. The data will be processed in accordance with the provisions of the applicable legislation on the protection of personal data.
Cookies Privacy Policy
This policy relates to so-called ‘cookies’, that is, it concerns the data exchanged by the device you are using to browse this Website as a result of your browsing activity.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small strings of text that are sent and stored on the user’s device (computer, smartphone, laptop or tablet) by websites visited by the user (known as ‘publishers’ or ‘first parties’) or by other websites or web servers (known as ‘third parties’), and may be sent back to those same websites the next time the user visits them. Cookies enable us to collect information about the user’s browsing activity on the Website. They are used, for example, to carry out online authentication, to monitor sessions and to store information relating to the activities of users accessing a website. They may also contain a unique identifier that enables the user’s browsing activity on the Website to be tracked for statistical or advertising purposes. Certain operations could not be carried out without the use of cookies, which are therefore, in some cases, technically necessary for the Website to function at all. Some cookies are stored permanently on the user’s device and have a pre-set expiry date (so-called persistent cookies), whilst others are automatically deleted when the browser is closed (so-called session cookies). When visiting a website, you may receive cookies both from the website you are visiting (known as first-party cookies’) and from websites operated by third parties (known as third-party cookies’): Whilst browsing a website, the user may also receive cookies on their device from websites (or web servers) other than the one they are visiting, via elements present on the website being visited (such as images, maps, sounds, links to web pages on other domains hosted on different servers, etc.). Depending on their purpose, cookies can be categorised as technical cookies (for the functioning of the website), analytics/statistical cookies and profiling cookies. Under current legislation, the user’s express and prior consent is not always required for the use of cookies. In particular, so-called technical cookies – that is, cookies that are essential for the functioning of the Website or necessary to carry out actions requested by the user – do not require such consent. Among the cookies that do not require explicit consent for their use, the Italian Data Protection Authority (see General Provision Identification of simplified procedures for providing information and obtaining consent for the use of cookies – 8 May 2014 and the ‘Guidelines on cookies and other tracking tools’ of 10 June 2021) includes:
- (technical) navigation or session cookies, which ensure the normal navigation and use of the Website (enabling you, for example, to make a purchase or log in to access restricted areas);
- (technical) functionality cookies, which enable the user to navigate the Website according to a set of selected criteria (for example, language, products selected for purchase) in order to improve the service provided to them.
- cookie (tecnici) di funzionalità, che permettono all’utente la navigazione in funzione di una serie di criteri selezionati (ad esempio, la lingua, i prodotti selezionati per l’acquisto) al fine di migliorare il servizio reso allo stesso.
- analytics cookies, which are comparable to technical cookies, where they are used directly by the website operator to produce statistics, in aggregate form, on the number of users and how they visit the website, with a view to optimising the site.
Analytical and statistical cookies that collect specific information – and therefore do not collect data in aggregate form – require the user’s prior consent, third-party cookies, as well as so-called profiling cookies (first-party and third-party) – that is, those designed to create user profiles and used to send advertising messages tailored to the preferences expressed by the user whilst browsing the internet.
Technical cookies, analytics cookies and third-party cookies – What types of cookies are used on this website?
This Website uses various types of cookies:
- Technical cookies: cookies that are strictly necessary for the Website to function or to enable the user to make better use of the content and services (session and functionality cookies). The user’s consent is not required. The maximum duration is 1 year.
- Analytical and statistical cookies: which enable the collection of aggregated and anonymous data relating to the use of the Website (e.g. number of visitors, pages viewed, time spent on the Website, etc.) for the purpose of optimising the Website. These cookies do not collect any information about the user’s identity or any personal data. These cookies are therefore comparable to technical cookies, as part of the IP address is masked, thereby ensuring the anonymity of the data collected. The user’s consent is not required, but they can be disabled as specified in the ‘Managing cookie preferences’ section.
Google Analytics: https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites?gl=it
This Website does not use advertising or profiling cookies.
There are no other third-party cookies on this Website. For the sake of completeness, it should be noted that there are third-party elements delivered in ‘cookieless’ mode.
Managing cookie preferences
In addition, you can manage cookies via your browser settings: Users can always authorise, block or delete (in whole or in part) cookies, and thus manage them by adjusting their browser settings or by directly disabling the feature that manages and controls cookies. Below are the options provided by the main browsers to allow users to specify their preferences regarding the use of cookies:
You can also use your browser settings to delete cookies that have been stored in the past, including the technical cookie in which your consent to this website’s use of cookies has been saved.
Blocking the installation of non-essential cookies, or withdrawing the consent originally given for analytics and statistics cookies or for profiling and third-party cookies, does not affect your ability to visit the Website. However, if all or some of the cookies are disabled, it is possible that the Website or some of its features may not be available or may not function correctly, and the user may be required to manually change or enter certain information or preferences each time they visit the Website.
As regards Google Analytics, users can disable Google Analytics via the relevant setting in their browser or by downloading and installing the add-on for their browser (compatible with Chrome, Firefox, Safari and Opera): tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.
