This Notice describes the use of technical cookies by the website www.alessandrodelninno.it, hereinafter the “Website”.

The Website uses only technical cookies, namely cookies that are strictly necessary to enable browsing, ensure the proper operation of its pages, maintain the security of its systems and provide functions expressly requested by the user.

The Website does not use:

• profiling cookies;
• advertising or marketing cookies;
• cookies intended to track users across different websites;
• analytics cookies;
• social media or sharing-platform cookies;
• fingerprinting techniques;
• pixels, web beacons or other identifiers used for monitoring, profiling or behavioural analysis purposes;
• any other tracking technologies that are not strictly necessary.

3. What cookies are.

Cookies are small files or strings of text that a website may transmit to and store on the device used by the user, such as a computer, smartphone or tablet.

The user’s browser may retransmit cookies to the website that generated them during the same browsing session or on a subsequent visit.

Cookies may be classified:

• according to their duration, as session cookies or persistent cookies;
• according to the entity that places them, as first-party or third-party cookies;
• according to their purpose, as technical cookies or cookies used for non-technical purposes.

The classification of a cookie depends primarily on the purpose for which it is actually used and not merely on its name, duration or the entity that places it.

4. Technical or strictly necessary cookies.

Technical cookies are cookies used exclusively:

• to transmit a communication over an electronic communications network; or
• where their use is strictly necessary to provide an information society service expressly requested by the user.

Subject to the Website’s actual technical configuration, the following categories of cookies may be used where they are strictly necessary.

4.1. Browsing or session cookies.

These cookies enable ordinary browsing and use of the Website, maintain continuity throughout a browsing session and allow the server to recognise requests originating from the same session.

They are generally deleted when the browser is closed or the browsing session ends.

4.2. Security cookies.

These cookies may be used to protect the Website and its forms against unauthorised access, automated requests, interference with communications, cyberattacks and other security events.

They may also be used to verify that requests submitted to the server originate from a legitimate browsing session.

4.3. Strictly necessary functional cookies.

These cookies allow the Website to remember a choice expressly made by the user or to provide a function specifically requested by the user, but only where such storage is necessary for that function to operate.

They are not used to reconstruct the user’s behaviour, create profiles or personalise commercial content.

4.4. Technical cookies for load balancing and service continuity.

These cookies may be used by the Website’s technical infrastructure to distribute requests correctly among servers, maintain the availability of the Website, prevent interruptions and ensure continuity of service.

5. Purposes for which cookies are used.

Technical cookies are used exclusively to:

• enable access to and browsing of the Website;
• ensure that pages load and operate correctly;
• maintain continuity throughout the browsing session;
• enable the operation of forms and functions requested by the user;
• protect the Website, its systems and communications;
• prevent and address unauthorised access, cyberattacks, fraud and abnormal use;
• manage traffic, load balancing and the technical continuity of the service;
• identify and resolve technical malfunctions.

Cookies are not used for any additional purpose or for purposes incompatible with those described above.

6. User consent.

The placement of the technical cookies used by the Website does not require the user’s prior consent.

The exemption from the consent requirement derives from Article 122(1) of Italian Legislative Decree No 196 of 30 June 2003 and Article 5(3) of Directive 2002/58/EC, because the cookies are used exclusively to transmit electronic communications or where they are strictly necessary to provide a service expressly requested by the user.

Accordingly, the Website does not display a consent-acquisition banner and does not ask users to accept or reject different categories of cookies.

Continuing to browse the Website does not constitute consent and is not treated as an indication of the user’s wishes in relation to profiling, analytics or marketing purposes, none of which are pursued by the Website.

7. Processing of personal data.

The rules governing the storage of information on, and access to information already stored in, the user’s device are set out in Article 122 of the Italian Data Protection Code and Article 5(3) of Directive 2002/58/EC.

Where information collected through a technical cookie constitutes personal data, any subsequent processing is carried out in accordance with Regulation (EU) 2016/679, hereinafter the “GDPR”.

Depending on the function concerned, the processing may be based on:

• the legitimate interests pursued by the controller in ensuring the operation, continuity and security of the Website and its systems, pursuant to Article 6(1)(f) GDPR;
• taking steps at the request of the data subject prior to entering into a contract, pursuant to Article 6(1)(b) GDPR, where the cookie is necessary to use a function requested in connection with an enquiry or a request for professional services;
• compliance with a legal obligation to which the controller is subject, pursuant to Article 6(1)(c) GDPR, where processing is necessary to comply with applicable law.
• Legitimate interests are not relied upon as a legal basis for placing profiling cookies or other technologies that are not strictly necessary.

8. Duration of cookies and retention of technical data
Session cookies are deleted when the browser is closed or the browsing session ends, depending on their specific configuration.

Any persistent technical cookies are retained only for the period strictly necessary to perform the technical or security function for which they are placed. Their actual duration must be specified in the table contained in this Notice.

Browsing data and technical logs generated by the Website’s systems are retained only for the period strictly necessary to operate, secure and protect the technical infrastructure and are ordinarily erased within 30 days of collection.

They may be retained for a longer period only where this is necessary to:

• investigate or manage a security incident;
• establish potential liability;
• prevent or address unlawful activities;
• establish, exercise or defend legal claims;
• comply with a request issued by a judicial or other competent authority.

9. Recipients of the information

Information collected through technical cookies may be processed by:

• the controller;
• persons authorised to process personal data under the controller’s authority;
• providers of hosting, maintenance, security and technical support services;
• other service providers managing components that are strictly necessary for the operation of the Website.

Where such service providers process personal data on behalf of the controller, they are appointed as processors pursuant to Article 28 GDPR.

The information is not sold, made available to the general public, used for advertising purposes or disclosed to persons intending to use it for their own profiling, marketing or tracking purposes.

10. Transfers outside the European Economic Area

Where the use of a technical service provider involves the transfer of personal data outside the European Economic Area, the transfer is carried out in accordance with Articles 44 et seq. GDPR.

In particular, the transfer may be based on:

• an adequacy decision adopted by the European Commission;
• standard contractual clauses adopted by the European Commission;
• another transfer mechanism provided for under Chapter V GDPR;
• one of the derogations provided for under Article 49 GDPR, solely where the relevant requirements are met.

Information concerning any service providers and international transfers must be consistent with the Website’s actual technical configuration and with the information provided in the general Privacy Notice.

11. Managing cookies through the browser

Users may configure their browser to:

• display the cookies stored on their device;
• issue a warning before a cookie is placed;
• delete cookies that have already been stored;
• block all cookies or selected categories of cookies;
• prevent persistent cookies from being stored.

The available settings depend on the browser and device used.

Disabling or deleting technical cookies may impair the proper operation of the Website, interrupt the browsing session, prevent the use of forms or make certain functions expressly requested by the user unavailable.

12. Rights of the data subject

Where information processed through technical cookies constitutes personal data, the data subject may exercise, in the circumstances and subject to the conditions laid down by the GDPR:

• the right of access;
• the right to rectification;
• the right to erasure;
• the right to restriction of processing;
• the right to data portability, where applicable;
• the right to object to processing based on legitimate interests;
• the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, where applicable.

Requests may be submitted to the controller using the contact details provided in this Notice.

The data subject also has the right to lodge a complaint with the Italian Data 
Protection Authority or, where applicable, another competent supervisory authority, without prejudice to the right to an effective judicial remedy.
Further information is available in the Privacy Notice published on the Website.

13. Links and third-party content

The Website may contain links through which users may, at their discretion, access websites or services managed by third parties.

The mere presence of a link to an external website does not result in the placement, through this Website, of profiling or tracking cookies.

Once the user selects a link and accesses an external website, the processing carried out by the operator of that website is governed by its own privacy notice and cookie policy.

The Website does not embed third-party content that places cookies or activates tracking technologies before the user makes an informed choice.

14. Amendments to this Notice

This Notice may be updated as a result of:

• changes to applicable legislation or its interpretation;
• measures or guidance adopted by competent authorities;
• changes to the technical configuration of the Website;
• the introduction, replacement or removal of cookies;
• changes to technical service providers or their terms of service.

The updated version will be published on the Website together with the date on which it was last updated.

If cookies or other technologies that are not strictly necessary are introduced, the controller will first update this Notice, the technical configuration of the Website and, where required, the consent-acquisition mechanism.
