This Cookie Policy, released by Italiaonline as Data Controller, aims at illustrating the types and purposes of the cookies used by Italiaonline websites and allowing you to express your preferences on the use of cookies.

We want to inform you that the new EU Privacy Regulation 2016/679 “GDPR”, effective as of 25 May 2018, does not introduce new provisions on the management of cookies, as adopted by Italiaonline in accordance with the provisions of the Italian legislation in force. To learn more on the GDPR you can consult the website europa.eu/dataprotection/it; to learn what Italiaonline has done and is doing to assure compliance with the GDPR you can consult this page: https://www.italiaonline.it/en/informativa-privacy/.

Italiaonline websites use cookies or markers, which technically are information packages sent from a web server to the user’s/visitor’s Internet browser and by the latter automatically stored on the device (personal computer, tablet, cell phone, etc.) and automatically resent to the server on every subsequent access to the website. The cookie may only be used by the web server which issued it (or by possible third parties with which it was originally shared); this means, for example, that cookies generated by Italiaonline may not be read by servers managed by third parties.

Italiaonline websites may also use other tracking methodologies such as beacons, pixels, tags and scripts.

Through this Cookie Policy you can express your preferences on the various types of cookies and change them even at a later stage. Said preferences will be registered on a specific "technical consent cookie", relating to the browser with which you are navigating in this moment, which will be updated based on possible changes to the preferences you might wish to express over time. Should you access Italiaonline websites with a different browser or another device, the banner to express your consent will be re-proposed and a further technical cookie will be generated. Should you decide, after having expressed your preferences, and at a later stage to delete all cookies, the technical cookie will also be removed and accordingly you will be newly asked to express your consent on the installation of profiling cookies.

To verify the presence, integrity and content of the technical consent cookie please click here.

Some cookies are necessary for the proper delivery of the website or are useful for its customised use; in this case, their inhibition may compromise some website functions.

Italiaonline, may furthermore publish on its websites, either directly or through third parties, also advertisements corresponding to your interests, inferred from your online activities and your browsing habits. Please note that, should you decide to deactivate cookies aimed at the delivery of “customised” or “behavioural” advertisements, generic advertising banners will continue to be displayed.

Almost all web browsers are by default set up to automatically accept cookies. Visitors/users may in any case amend the predefined setting, as better illustrated here below in this Policy.

A) Types of Cookies

Persistent cookies: those cookies remain stored, until their expiry, on the user/visitor device. They are used to facilitate browsing inside the website and its correct use, to facilitate access to the services requiring authentication (avoiding for users to re-enter authentication credentials on every access to the services), for statistical purposes, to know which website areas have been visited, as well as, in some cases, for an optimal management of the pages and advertising spaces or to deliver contents and advertisements in line with the choices operated by visitors.

Session cookies: those cookies are not persistently stored on the user/visitor device and disappear when the browser is closed. They are used to transmit session identifiers necessary to permit the secure and efficient exploration of the website. Session cookies used on Italiaonline websites avoid having to resort to other IT techniques potentially prejudicial to the confidentiality of the user/visitor browsing and are used also to improve the delivery of the services.

Proprietary cookies: may be both persistent and session cookies; are directly managed by the owner and/or manager of the website and are used, for example, to assure its technical functioning (so called “technical cookies”) or to track the preferences expressed on the use of the website itself (for example to display weather forecasts relating to your hometown).

Third-party cookies: they also can be both persistent and session cookies; are generated and managed by managers external to the website visited by the user and are used, for example, to know the number of pages visited within the same website (so called “statistical cookies” or “cookie analytics”) or to publish content or advertisements on the website being visited.

B) Main cookie purposes

Technical cookies: are the cookies necessary to allow the browsing of the website and the use of some products and services. Are used, for example, to recognise the user who authenticated himself to his email box and keep the session open even when he visits other website’s pages, or to assure some website’s security measures and monitor the proper functioning thereof.

Statistical cookies or “analytics”: those cookies are used to monitor website performances, for example to know the number of pages visited or the number of users who visualised a certain section. The analysis of those cookies generates anonymous and aggregate statistical data without reference whatsoever to the identity of website visitors. They are also useful to assess possible amendments or improvements to be made to the website itself.

Cookies for the storage of preferences: they are cookies useful to favour the proper use of the website by the user and to create a browsing experience consistent with expectations shown. They are used, for example, to keep track of the language of choice.

Advertising cookies: those cookies are aimed at the delivery of advertising spaces. Those cookies are installed, directly by Italiaonline or by third parties. Some of them are used to calculate the value of the advertising offer, identify the single advertising messages and know which one have been selected and when. Other advertising cookies, such as behavioural Cookies and retargeting Cookies are used to derive a browsing “profile” of yours and afterwards propose you advertising messages consistent with your on line behaviour (accordingly also outside Italiaonline websites) and presumably in line with your interests. Said “profile” is anonymous and the information collected through these cookies do not allow to go back to your identity; in some case said “profile” could be subject to “pseudonymisation”. Italiaonline releases advertising cookies also on the websites of some partners with which it stipulated specific business agreements. To express your preferences in relation to said cookies, you can consult sections C and D in this page.

Social Network Cookies: they are cookies allowing to share also with other users the contents of the website navigated or to express your opinion in this respect. These cookies are typically used to activate “Like” or “Follow” functions of Social Networks such as Facebook and Twitter, just to mention a few. Those functions allow Social Networks to identify their users and to collect information also when they visit other websites. Italiaonline recommends to consult the privacy policy of each of the Social Networks used by you to know the purposes and modalities of the personal data processing carried out thereby.

You may decide to accept all cookies with one single click on the “Accept all” button here below, or express your consent on a selective basis per single website and single type.

Click on "Show details" to display the list of cookies and express your preferences.

IMPORTANT! Click on "Save Preferences" to confirm your choices.

Cookies in Blogs and Personal Websites: This Cookie Policy applies also to Libero’s and Virgilio’s Blogs and Personal Websites (for example, digilander and xoom domains) managed by managesr using the tools made available thereto by IOL and with limitation to them. Until and unless those pages’ single managers introduce within their Blogs and/or Personal Websites elements that, independently of IOL, permit the installation of cookies, it is possible to identify and activate / deactivate IOL controlled cookies within this Cookie Policy. Should, instead, the single managers of said pages introduce within their Blogs and/or Personal Websites elements that, independently of IOL, permit the installation of cookies, also profiling cookies, it will be the duty of the single manager to inform its readers, for example providing its own Cookie Policy in supplement or in lieu of the one provided by IOL. In particular, as regards the Personal Websites whose managers deactivated components (such as advertising banners or browsing bar) through which IOL delivers profiling cookies, IOL operates as mere web space provider and may not be deemed liable for the cookies released through said websites. In those cases, it is the exclusive burden of the Personal website manager to provide an adequate privacy disclosure and collect the possible consent to the installation of profiling and/or third-party cookies.

D) Management of third-party Cookies

Italiaonline websites may use third-party anonymous cookies even for the purpose of displaying advertisements in a dynamic and advanced manner or advertising messages based on the browsing choices made by users even on other websites external to Italiaonline. In many cases, Italiaonline has no access and cannot control the information third parties could collect through their cookies.

Italiaonline websites use third-party cookies even for mere statistical purposes, or, for example, to know the number of webpages seen and number of unique users.

Within Italiaonline websites, after a search, even so called “sponsored links” are displayed: they are search results purchased by third-party companies wishing to promote themselves through websites with reference to specific search keys strictly pertaining to the activity carried out thereby. Said sponsored links, at times also called “pay-per-click ads” or simply “ads”, are administered, delivered and managed by Microsoft through the “Bing” service and published by Italiaonline. To know how Microsoft uses cookies to display the results of “Bing” searches, we suggest to read the privacy disclosure published on the page https://privacy.microsoft.com/it-it/privacystatement.

Furthermore, Italiaonline websites provide for the use of Cookies in the most popular Social Networks.

You can consult the privacy disclosure and express your preferences on cookies of third parties with which Italiaonline entered into agreements for the delivery of advertisement based on information collected through cookies, by directly connecting to their websites, as listed further down below.

Some cookies are installed on the owner or manager website even independently of direct agreements with the third parties (for example through other websites managing the sale of advertising spaces); for an easy management of third-party cookies we suggest to refer to the website of Your Online Choices. Said website in fact allows to find out which cookies are active on your computer, with evidence of the name of the company generating and/or managing them. Many companies generating cookies on third-party websites, in fact, offer the possibility to deactivate and/or inhibit in a simple and immediate manner only their own cookies, even when they are anonymous, i.e. not entailing the recording of identifying personal data, in compliance with the provisions of the Network Advertising Initiative.
