1 – Cookie

In accordance with the Provision issued by the Data Protection Authority dated 8 May 2014, entitled “Identification of simplified procedures for the privacy policy and acquisition of consent for using cookies”, Platoni Andrea wishes to informs the user about the following:

Cookie general information

When you access Plafoni Andrea or use one of our services, our system or that of one of our partners may set or read cookies and/or other types of identifiers about the browser and/or device you are using.

A cookie is a small text file that is stored on the computer of those who view a site for the purpose of recording some information about the visit as well as creating a system to recognize the user at later times. Device identifiers, on the other hand, are generated by collecting and processing specific information such as IP address and/or user agent (browser version, operating system type and version) or other device characteristics, in order to link specific information to a specific user.

A site can set a cookie on the browser only if the preferences configured for the browser allow it. It is important to know that a browser may only allow a particular site to access exclusively cookies set by it and not cookies set by other websites – no privacy risk is involved.

Practices related to cookies and other similar technologies

Plafoni Andrea or its partners may use cookies or other types of identifiers for various reasons, including:

  1. Providing access to restricted areas of the site and accessible by authentication (in this case the cookies are called “technical” and are used to maintain the browsing session and/or to facilitate subsequent accesses from the same device).
  2. Monitoring the user’s preferences while using the site and/or services incorporated in it or connected to it.
  3. Providing advertising and/or content relevant to visitors’ interests (third-party cookies only).
  4. Processing statistical analysis (analytics) about the use of the site and/or services included in it.
  5. Carrying out research to improve the content, products and services of Plafoni Andrea or its partners.

Plafoni Andrea does NOT directly use any profiling cookies: the only cookies generated and managed directly by Plafoni Andrea are the so-called technical cookies (which are used exclusively to correctly offer the services to the public) and, in an extremely limited way, analytics cookies (which are used to count the number of readings on the various pages of the site and/or for other statistical purposes). We inform users, however, that profiling cookies may be generated through our pages by third parties (Refer to “Cookies from other companies”).

We inform the users that it is possible to prevent advertising and/or behavioural cookies from being saved on their computer by using the service provided by the Your On-line Choices site.

Cookies of other companies

Plafoni Andrea integrates, within its pages, third party services that may set and use their own cookies and/or similar technologies. The use of such cookies and similar technologies by these companies is governed by the privacy policies of those companies and not by this Privacy Policy being Plafoni Andrea totally non involved in the management of these tools and the processing of data resulting from them.

We provide below a (non-exhaustive) list of some of the partner companies that may use cookies while the user is browsing the Plafoni Andrea network:
