Cookie policy
- Definition and purpose of cookies
Cookies are short sequences of structured, text-based information which are stored locally on your browser for varying periods of time in order to enable certain types of remote services to run properly. Cookies make it possible to record various types of information relating to your preferences, as well as technical data which allows for an easier, more personalised browsing experience.
While browsing, users may also receive cookies from third parties. In these cases, those third parties are solely responsible for those cookies. Cookies can be installed by the owner and operator of the website (direct cookies) and by external parties to the website (partners) visited by the user (third-party cookies).
FIGC cookies are anonymous and therefore contain no personal information relating to the user such as name, surname, email address and so on. As such, they ensure a secure browsing experience which is respectful of privacy.
There are three main categories of cookies:
• Technical cookies: necessary for the correct running of the website and for access operations (logging in, acceptance of terms of use), configuration of preferences (e.g. language) and personalisation of browsing experience;
• Analytical cookies: provide information on how visitors use the site, what content they access and where they come from, allowing the site owner to analyse and improve the functioning of the site and the content on it;
• Profiling cookies: used to send personalised promotional messages and commercial proposals and to position these messages, monitor whether or not the user has seen the message and to build a dynamic user profile with a view to offering them messaging which reflects the preferences expressed by them during their browsing period.
B. Characteristics and purposes of cookies installed on the website
During visits to www.figc.it, or any other website attributable to the Association (hereinafter the “Site”), information is only collected by technical cookies and analytical cookies, which anonymously trace user activities. No specific consent is required for these cookies.
