Cookie Policy

(version 2 dated 03/11/2023)

Dear Visitor/Viwer (hereinafter, “You” or the “User”), this website (hereinafter, the “Site”) is owned by the company AI4OMNIA S.R.L., with its registered office at Piazzale Luigi Cadorna, no. 6, 20123 – Milan, VAT registration number 13166510969 (hereinafter, “We” or the “Company”).

As cookies are used on the Site for different purposes, we would like to explain in this notice what cookies are and how they are used on the Site.

Some cookies (so-called ‘own’ or ‘first-party cookies’) are conveyed and controlled directly by us. Through these cookies, the Company collects and processes certain personal data about you. In this notice, also pursuant to Legislative Decree No. 196 of 30 June 2003 (the “Privacy Code”) and pursuant to Article 13 of EU Regulation 2016/679 of 27 April 2016 on the protection of individuals with regard to the processing of personal data (the “Regulation”), we explain how we collect this data, for what purposes and what your rights are.

Other cookies (so-called ‘third-party cookies’), on the other hand, are conveyed and controlled by third parties. On this notice you will find links to the notices published by these third parties, which we kindly ask you to read carefully.

If you are not familiar with cookies, please carefully read this policy and the Site’s general privacy policy so that you can be aware of what choices you have.

The Company takes into the utmost consideration the right to privacy and protection of personal data of its Users. For any information relating to this Cookie Policy, Users may contact the Company at any time by registered mail to the Company’s registered office (Piazzale Luigi Cadorna, no. 6, 20123 – Milan) or by sending an e-mail to: privacy@ai4omnia.it .

A. What are cookies and what are they used for
Cookies are small text files that sites visited by the user send directly to his/her terminal (usually to the browser), where they are stored in order to be retransmitted to the same sites the next time the same user visits (so-called ‘first-party cookies’). While browsing a site, the user may also receive cookies from different sites or web servers on his terminal equipment (so-called third-party cookies); this happens because the website visited may contain elements such as, for example, images, maps, sounds, specific links to web pages of other domains residing on servers other than the one on which the requested page is located. In other words, these are cookies that are set by a website other than the one you are currently visiting.

Cookies may have a lifetime limited to a single browser session (so-called ‘session cookies’), in which case they are automatically deactivated when the user closes the browser; or they may have a predetermined expiry date, in which case they will remain stored and active on your hard disk until that expiry date, continuing to collect information over the course of several browser sessions (so-called ‘permanent cookies’).

Cookies are used for different functions. Some are necessary to enable you to browse the Site and take advantage of its functionalities (so-called technical cookies). Others are used to obtain statistical information, whether aggregated or not, on the number of users accessing the Site and on how the Site is used (so-called tracking or analytics cookies). Finally, others are used to track your consumer profile and display advertisements on the Site that may be of interest to you, as they match your tastes and consumption habits (so-called profiling cookies).

To learn about these different categories of cookies in more detail, continue reading this policy. Find out how they work and what they are used for, and freely choose whether to consent to their use or not.

B. Technical cookies Technical cookies are used on the Site for the sole purpose of making it possible for you to navigate on the Site and to use its functionalities. These are always first-party cookies, as they are placed directly by us on the Site.

Some technical cookies are indispensable in order to provide you with an optimal browsing experience or to allow you to authenticate yourself on the site, for example in order to make a purchase on the Site or enter your private area (so-called navigation cookies). Browsing cookies are normally session cookies and are automatically deactivated once the browser is closed.

Other technical cookies are useful to allow you to store certain preferences (e.g. language or country of origin) without having to reset them on subsequent visits (so-called functionality cookies). For this reason, functionality cookies are often persistent cookies, meaning that they remain stored on your computer even after you close your browser, until they expire or you choose to delete them.

The following technical cookies are currently used on the Site:

As provided by current privacy legislation, your prior consent is not required for the installation of such cookies. You are of course free to block the installation of technical cookies by changing your browser settings (read section E, no. 1 to find out how to do this). Please note, however, that by blocking the placement of technical cookies, or subsequently deleting them, your ability to access the Site, to use all or part of it, to enable or disable certain functions or to receive certain services may be wholly or partly impaired.

If you leave a comment on our site, you can choose to save your name, email address and website in cookies. They are used for your convenience so that you do not have to re-enter your data when leaving another comment. These cookies will last for one year.

If you visit the login page, a temporary cookie will be set to determine whether your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is deleted when you close the browser.

If you visit the login page, a temporary cookie will be set to determine whether your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is deleted when you close the browser.

If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be saved in your browser. This cookie does not include any personal data, but simply indicates the ID of the article that has just been modified. Expires after 1 day.

C.Tracking or ‘analytics’ cookies Analytics cookies are used on the Site to collect statistical information, in aggregate or otherwise, on the number of users accessing the Site and how they visit the Site.

The analytics cookies on this Site are third-party cookies, as they are not directly placed by us but by third parties.

The following third-party analytics cookies are installed on the Site without your prior consent, because they are less invasive as they are anonymised and third parties cannot access disaggregated analytics data at the IP address level (in other words, by using these cookies, third-parties cannot trace your identity):

D. Profiling cookies Profiling cookies are used to create a profile of you as a user, based on the preferences and tastes you have expressed while surfing the Internet, and to display advertisements consistent with your profile. In this way, the advertisements you see on the Site may be more interesting for you.

As required by current privacy legislation, your prior consent is required for the installation of these cookies. For this reason, when you access the Site, a special banner is displayed prominently, informing you that, subject to your consent, third-party profiling cookies are used on the Site and that by pressing the appropriate button provided, you may consent to the use of cookies. Should you consent to the installation of cookies in this way, we will keep track of your consent by means of a technical cookie. In this way, we avoid having the cookie banner displayed on your subsequent visits to the Site. Please note that if you were to delete this technical cookie from your browser in the manner set out in paragraph E, no. 1 below, the trace of your consent would be lost and, therefore, during your next visit to the Site the cookie banner will be displayed again.

You are, of course, free to block the installation of profiling cookies at any time, without your ability to visit the site and enjoy its contents being affected in any way. If you decide to deactivate behavioural advertising, this does not mean that you will no longer receive advertising on the Site. However, the banners you see on the Site may not reflect your interests or preferences on the browser you are currently using.

The following profiling cookies on the Site are installed by third parties, acting as independent data controllers (third-party cookies). Here is a list of the third-party profiling cookies currently used on the Site, with links to the information pages created by their developers:

Please note that by automatically filling in forms or logging in to the Site using the credentials of a social network to which you are subscribed, you will receive third-party cookies from the operator of the social network in question, which typically, in addition to allowing you to authenticate yourself on the Site, also have profiling purposes. Before filling in forms automatically or logging in via the social network buttons, we therefore ask you to carefully read the information provided by the social network operators on the use of these cookies. If you do not wish to receive these cookies, please carry out normal form filling and login on the Site without using the social network buttons. Here is a list of the social network cookies used on the site, with a link to the information pages created by their owners:

E. How to manage cookies and object to their use There are several options to manage, disable and delete cookies.

(1) Change your browser settings Follow the instructions provided by the browser provider you use to find out how to manage, disable or delete all cookies (technical, analytics and profiling):

Make your choices carefully. By indiscriminately blocking the receiving of all cookies, including technical cookies, without providing a specific exception for the Site, you may, in fact, no longer be able to navigate on the Site or to use all or part of its functionalities. Moreover, if you delete all cookies from your browser, technical cookies may also be removed and, therefore, you may remove preferences that you have set using the Site or no longer find products or services in your shopping cart.

(2) Use our interactive tools or those provided by third parties

To disable third-party cookies, please consult the privacy policies of third parties that install analytics cookies (see paragraph C above) or profiling cookies (see paragraph D above) to learn about the other tools available to you to manage, disable and delete cookies, and more generally to object to their use. Remember that by disabling third-party cookies, (i) you object to their use not only on the Site but on all Internet sites on which such cookies are used and (ii) your ability to browse the Site and use its functionalities will not be affected in any way.

(3) Use the Internet site www.youronlinechoices.eu/ Your Online Choices is an Internet site managed by the non-profit association European Interactive Digital Advertising Alliance (EDAA), which provides information on behavioural advertising based on profiling cookies (https://www.youronlinechoices.com/uk/about-behavioural-advertising) and allows Internet users to easily oppose (opt-out) the installation of the main profiling cookies installed by advertisers and used on Internet sites (https://www.youronlinechoices.com/uk/your-ad-choices )). Before using this tool, we advise you to carefully read the general terms of service of the Your Online Choices website (https://www.youronlinechoices.com/uk/terms-conditions), the frequently asked questions (FAQ) (https://www.youronlinechoices.com/uk/faqs) and the user guide (https://www.youronlinechoices.com/uk/opt-out-help).

Use Your Online Choices consciously. Although Your Online Choices brings together many of the most important companies in the advertising world that use cookies, some of the third parties that install cookies through the Site may not have joined Your Online Choices. Therefore, the use of Your Online Choices does not guarantee that you will not receive third-party cookies by browsing the Site. Please also note that if you delete all cookies from your browser, the technical cookies issued by Your Online Choices to remember your choices may also be deleted and the third-party cookies may become active again.

F. Other information As outlined in the introduction to this policy, the Company collects and processes some of your personal data through cookies that it places directly on the Site (first-party cookies). The Company acts as the data controller, in accordance with the provisions of the Privacy Code and the Regulation. We will process your data only by electronic means, in a fully automated manner and without any human intermediation. Therefore, our employees and collaborators will never have access to the content of your personal data obtained through cookies. Some of our employees and collaborators, appointed by us as data processors, may carry out maintenance work on the computer systems hosting your data, without ever being able to access their actual content. Personal data may be stored on servers operated by third parties (e.g. computer system providers) or may be managed by parties specialising in online advertising, who act as data processors on the basis of a written appointment by the Company. Please note that, subject to the conditions and safeguards established by law, your data may be transferred to countries outside the European Economic Area, which may not offer a level of privacy and data protection comparable to that guaranteed by Italian and European privacy laws. Your personal data will not be disclosed to third-party data controllers or disseminated.

c) certification to the effect that the operations as per letters a) and b) have been notified, as also related to their contents, to the entities to whom or which the data were communicated or disseminated, unless this requirement proves impossible or involves a manifestly disproportionate effort compared with the right that is to be protected.
