COOKIE POLICY OF “www.fineup.com

The website of Fine Up srl, the data controller pursuant to Art. 28 of Italian Legislative Decree 196/03 that processes your personal data, is referring you to this Cookies Policy page. In regards to the aforementioned data processing, the data controller is providing the following information, in addition to this website’s “Privacy Policy”: the various types of cookies are described here, as well as the technology used by the website of Fine Up, in light of the Provision of the Italian Data Protection Authority from May 2014, “Identification of simplified arrangements to provide information and obtain consent regarding cookies – 8 May 2014 (Published in the Official Gazette, no. 126 on the 3 June 2014)”, which can be viewed at http://www.garanteprivacy.it/web/guest/home/docweb/-/docweb-display/docweb/311888in order to describe the ways in which they are configured and their conditions of use.

A) What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files that visited sites send to the user’s browsing device (usually a browser). They are saved in the corresponding folder in the browser while the user is visiting a website, to then be retransmitted to the same sites when the user visits again. They are used to improve browsing, save preferences already entered by the user (user name, password and the like), track the user’s tastes and preferences, which allows for the presence or absence of targeted marketing initiatives or the provision of services connected to the data controller’s activity, such as newsletters, service notifications on the site, etc. If limitations were to be placed on their usage, this would affect the usability of site content during browsing. However, the user can always block or remove said cookies from their browser’s cache, but such actions could lead to partial enjoyment of the services offered by the web application.

B) Types of cookies

Session cookies are temporary files that only exist for the duration of the user’s browsing session. When the browser is closed the session cookies expire. These are generally used to identify users when they access a site, to remember user preferences when moving between pages on the site and to offer users specific information that has been collected previously. The most common example of this function is the “virtual cart” on an e-commerce site. When a page of a catalogue is visited and certain items are selected, session cookies remember the selected items so that they stay selected in the virtual shopping cart when the user is ready to check out. Without session cookies, if the user were to click on checkout, the new page could not recognise past actions on the previous pages and the cart would remain empty. Persistent cookies are files that remain active even after the browser has been closed and help websites to remember user data and settings for subsequent visits. This allows for quicker and more convenient access in terms of time as it is not necessary to provide login data again. In addition to authentication, other website functions are also made possible, which include: language selection, theme selection, menu preferences, bookmarks and favourites and much more. During a visit the user selects his/her preferences and these will be remembered via the use of persistent cookies during the next visit.

C) Third party cookies

Google Analytics http://www.google.com/analytics/learn/privacy.html

is a service offered by Google Inc. that generates detailed statistics about website traffic and the sources of the traffic. It is the most utilised statistical service. Google Analytics can monitor visitors coming from all external links to the site including search engines and social networks, direct visits and reference sites. It also visualises advertising, pay-per-click, e-mail marketing and other links within PDF documents.

D) Cookie privacy and security

Cookies are not viruses, they are only texts files, which are not read by the browser nor executed in memory. Consequently, they cannot duplicate or spread to other network to be replicated again. They are not included within the standard definition of a virus due to the fact that they cannot carry out these actions. However, cookies can be used for malicious purposes. Since they are used to store information about preferences, the history of the user’s actions and specific navigation between sites, cookies can be used as a form of spyware. Many anti-spyware products are well aware of this problem and routinely highlight cookies as possible threats.
