What are Cookies and other tracking tools
Cookies are small text strings – which may include personal data (e.g., IP address, username, email address) and technical information (e.g., language settings, device type) – that the visited sites send to the User’s terminal (Personal Computer or mobile device such as a tablet or smartphone), where they are stored (e.g., within the browser’s memory), to be retransmitted to the same sites on the next visit. Cookies are used to perform functions such as computer authentication, session monitoring, and storing information about sites (without the use of cookies, some operations would be very complex or impossible to perform), also with reference to identifying preferences based on browsing experience. During navigation on a Website, the User may also receive cookies that are managed and sent by different sites or web servers (so-called ‘third parties’), on which some elements (such as images, maps, sounds, specific links to pages of other domains) present on the Website being visited may reside.
There are also other tracking tools (e.g., so-called ‘Fingerprinting’, ‘Pixel Tag’, ‘Plug-in’) that, although using different technology, allow similar processing to be carried out through cookies and achieve the same results. These tools, unlike cookies, do not store information within the User’s device and cannot be removed directly by the User through browser settings; therefore, the User must use the option to revoke authorization for their use through the functionalities provided on the Website by the Data Controller to review their choices.
Possible classifications of other tracking tools
In general, these tools can be classified by:
- Type of instrument
- Cookies (active identifiers)
- Other tracking tools (passive identifiers)
- Origin
- First party (or “Publisher”, i.e., the manager of the Website that the User is visiting)
- Third party (manager of a different website that installs Cookies through the First Party’s Website)
- Term
- Session (temporary, deleted when the browser is closed or, in some cases, when the logout command is executed)
- Permanent (remain active until their expiration date or until deleted by the User)
- Aims pursued
- Technical purposes (related to the functioning of the Website)
- Non-technical purposes (such as User browsing profile)
Cookies used on our website
TECHNICAL COOKIES
Technical Cookies allow for easy use of the Website and easier retrieval of information, simplifying the connection and data transmission between the User and the Website.
We use Technical Navigation Cookies on our Website, which are strictly necessary as they ensure normal navigation and proper functioning of the Website (e.g., authentication for access to restricted areas; to distribute incoming data traffic on the site across different servers to optimize response times), allowing the use of the services offered (e.g., booking a stay experience).
Without the use of these Cookies, some services on the Website may not be accessible, displayed correctly, or function optimally.
We also use functionality, preference, and localization Cookies that allow modifying the behavior and appearance of the Website (e.g., preferred language, text or font sizes, geographical area where the User is located), whose absence does not affect navigation on the Website but makes it less efficient and functional.
The category of Technical Cookies includes session and persistent Cookies.
The installation of Technical Cookies does not require the prior consent of the User.
We also inform you that, at any time, you can block Cookies through your browser settings; however, if you set your device to refuse these Cookies, some services on the Website may not be displayed correctly or function optimally, particularly operations that allow identifying the User and maintaining their identification within the session may be more complex to perform and less secure without Technical Cookies.
ANALYTICS COOKIES
We use ANALYTICS COOKIES – that is, those Cookies that are installed, among possible uses, to evaluate the effectiveness of a service, measure traffic (determining the number of visitors possibly divided by geographical area or based on other characteristics) of the Website or its most visited areas (for statistical purposes), to improve its contents or facilitate its use by the User, to perform analyses to facilitate the use of the Website by the User, also from a user experience perspective.
These Cookies, considering that their use does not lead to the direct identification of the data subject (since the information collected by these cookies is used in an aggregated and therefore anonymous manner), are comparable to the type of Technical Cookies and therefore do not require prior consent.
We also inform you that these Cookies are proprietary and also managed by Third Parties and that they are persistent Cookies, as they remain active until their expiration date or their deletion by the User.
It is also informed that personal data collected through the use of Cookies will not be disseminated.
LEGAL BASIS FOR DATA PROCESSING
The legal basis for the processing of data collected by our Website through the use of Cookies with a technical function is found in the legitimate interest of the Company.
RECIPIENTS OF COMMUNICATIONS
The information stored in the Cookies is used exclusively by our Company.
