COOKIE POLICY ASPESI

This document contains information on the technologies that allow this Website to achieve the purposes described below. These technologies allow the Data Controller to collect and save information (for example through the use of Cookies) or to use resources (for example by running a script) on the User's device when the latter interacts with this Website.

For the sake of simplicity, in this document these technologies are summarized as "Trackers", unless there is reason to differentiate.
For example, although Cookies can be used in both web and mobile browsers, it would be inappropriate to talk about Cookies in the context of applications for mobile devices, since these are Trackers that require the presence of a browser. For this reason, in this document the term Cookie is only used to specifically indicate that particular type of Tracker.

Moreover, some of the purposes for which Trackers are used may require the User's consent. If consent is given, it can be freely revoked at any time by following the instructions contained in this document.

This Website uses Trackers managed directly by the Data Controller (commonly called "first-party" Trackers) and Trackers that enable services provided by third parties (commonly called "third-party" Trackers). Unless otherwise specified herein, such third parties have access to their respective Trackers.
The duration and expiry of Cookies and other similar Trackers may vary depending on the parameters set by the Data Controller or by each third party provider. Some of them expire at the end of the User's browsing session.
In addition to the descriptions provided for each category below, Users may obtain more detailed and updated information on duration, as well as any other relevant information - such as the presence of other Trackers - in the privacy policies of the respective third-party providers (via the links made available) or by contacting the Data Controller.

How to manage preferences and give or withdraw consent
There are various ways to manage preferences relating to Trackers and to give or withdraw consent, where necessary:

Users can manage Tracker preferences directly through their device settings - for example, they can prevent the use or storage of Trackers.

In the case of strictly necessary cookies (see point 1), these are installed by default and do not require the User’s consent for their installation. The use of these cookies allows the correct functioning of the Website.

Whenever the use of Trackers depends on consent (see points 2 and 3), the User can freely give or revoke their consent by setting their preferences via the cookie policy or through the Aspesi "cookie banner": (a) the can give consent by granularly selecting the type of cookies they intend to enable and clicking on the "On/Off" button, or by consenting to the installation of all cookies by clicking on "Accept all cookies"; (b) or they can deny consent and refuse installation of cookies by clicking on "Continue without consent", at the top right of the banner, or on "Reject everything". In the absence of the User’s consent, expressed as described above, only strictly necessary cookies will operate.

Through specific browser or device features, it is also possible to remove previously saved Trackers.

Other Trackers present in the browser's local memory can be removed by deleting the browsing history.

As regards third-party Trackers, Users can manage their preferences and revoke their consent by clicking on the relevant opt-out link (if available), using the tools described in the third party's privacy policy or contacting the latter directly.

Locating Tracker settings
Users can find information on how to manage Cookies in some of the most popular browsers at the following addresses:

·       Google Chrome

·       Mozilla Firefox

·       Apple Safari

·       Microsoft Internet Explorer

·       Microsoft Edge

·       Brave

·       Opera

Users can also manage some Trackers for mobile applications by disabling them through the appropriate device settings, such as advertising settings for mobile devices or general tracking settings (see the device settings to identify the relevant method).

How to opt out of interest-based advertising
Without prejudice to the foregoing, Users may also consult the information on YourOnlineChoices (EU), Network Advertising Initiative (USA) and Digital Advertising Alliance (USA), DAAC (Canada), DDAI (Japan) or other similar services. With these services it is possible to manage the tracking preferences of most advertising tools. The Data Controller, therefore, advises Users to use these resources in addition to the information provided in this document.

The Digital Advertising Alliance also makes available an application called AppChoices which helps Users control behavioral advertising on mobile applications.

Consequences of refusing to consent
Users are free to decide whether or not to give consent. However, please note that Trackers allow this Website to provide Users with a better experience and advanced features (in line with the purposes outlined herein). Therefore, in the absence of the User's consent, the Data Controller may not be able to provide the related features.
