COOKIE POLICY

Visiting the web and/or mobile site https://autodesignmagazine.com/ owned by Auto&Design s.r.l (hereinafter referred to as “Controller“) the browser (by automatically displaying the banner with the “short” information relating to cookies) requires the user to give their consent or refusal to the use of cookies, as described in this Cookie Policy and in the Privacy Policy viewable at the following link [●] [https://autodesignmagazine.com/informativa-privacy/].

DEFINITION

What are cookies?

Cookies are small text strings that sites visited by the user send to the user’s terminal (generally a browser), where they are stored and then retransmitted to the same sites the next time the same user visits them.

Cookies are identified according to the body that installs them on the user’s terminal:

  1. Proprietary (so-called ‘first-party’) cookies, installed by the operator of the site that the user is visiting, in order to enable the user to navigate more efficiently and/or to monitor the actions performed by the user;
  2. Third-party cookies, in the course of browsing the site, you may also receive on your terminal cookies that are sent from sites or web servers other than the one you are currently visiting, for the same purposes as those mentioned above.

Cookies are used for different purposes and differ from each other precisely on the basis of the purpose for which they are used. They can be distinguished into:

  • “technical cookies” used for the sole purpose of carrying out the transmission of a communication over an electronic communication network or to the extent strictly necessary for the provision of a service explicitly requested by the user: they allow the site that has installed them to remember, for example, the preferences expressed by the user while browsing or to make a purchase or to authenticate. The installation of such cookies does not require the user’s prior consent, while the obligation to provide information remains unaffected;
  • “statistical cookies” used to monitor the performance of the site, for example to find out the number of pages visited or the number of users who have viewed a particular section. The analysis of these cookies generates anonymous and aggregate statistical data without any reference to the identity of the site visitors. They are also useful for evaluating possible changes and improvements to the site itself.
  • “profiling cookies” aimed at creating profiles relating to the user allow the site that installed them to monitor the user’s browsing also for the purpose of sending advertisements or offering services in line with the preferences expressed by the user while browsing the web. Due to the particular invasiveness of such devices, European and Italian law requires that the user be adequately informed about their use and express his/her valid consent to their use.
  • “Social Network cookies” allow you to share the content of the site you are visiting with others or to express your opinion about it. These are the cookies typically used to activate the ‘Like’ or ‘Follow’ functions of Social Networks such as Facebook and Twitter, to name but two. These functions allow Social Networks to identify their users and collect information even while they are surfing other sites. We recommend that you consult the privacy policy of each of the Social Networks used to find out the purposes and methods of the processing of personal data carried out by them.

FIRST-PARTY TECHNICAL NAVIGATION COOKIES

Strictly necessary ‘navigation or session’ cookies

These cookies are essential in order to enable you to navigate throughout the site and make full use of its features, such as accessing the various protected areas of the site. Without these cookies some necessary services, such as filling in a form for a competition, authentication for access to restricted areas or making a purchase, cannot be enjoyed.

Functionality’ cookies

Cookies allow the site to remember choices made by the user (such as name, language or region of origin) allowing the user to navigate according to a set of selected criteria and provide advanced personalised functionality. These cookies may also be used to remember changes made to text size, fonts and other parts of web pages that can be customised. They may also be used to provide services that you have requested such as watching a video or commenting on a blog, storing the user’s consent.

Performance-oriented analytical cookies

These cookies collect information about how users use a site, e.g. which pages are visited most, whether they receive error messages from web pages. These cookies do not collect information that identifies a visitor. All information collected by cookies is aggregated and therefore anonymous. They are only used to improve the functioning of a website.
