Types of cookies
The mecab.eu website uses cookies to simplify and make more user-friendly the browsing experience: cookies are short text strings used to save some information that may concern the users, their preferences or the device used to access Internet (computer, tablet or mobile phone) and are mainly used to adapt the website operating to the users’ expectations, offering a more customized browsing experience and saving the choices previously made.
A cookie consists of a reduced set of data transferred to the users’ browser from a web server and can only be read by the server that performed the transfer. It is not an executable code and cannot transfer viruses.
Cookies do not record any personal data and no identifiable data will be saved. If you wish, you can prevent the saving of some or all cookies. However, in that case the usage of the website and the services offered could be compromised. To proceed without changing the cookie options, simply continue browsing.
This website may use and even combine the following types of cookies classified according to the instructions of the Privacy Protection Authority and the Opinions issued in the European context by the Working Group pursuant to art. 29 of the GDPR:
Session cookies: these cookies are not saved permanently in the users’ device and are deleted when the browser is closed; they serve only to transfer the session identifiers necessary to allow the safe and efficient website browsing, avoiding the use of other IT techniques potentially prejudicial for the users’ browsing confidentiality.
Persistent cookies: these cookies are saved on the hard drive until they expire or are deleted by the users/visitors. Persistent cookies allow visitors who access the website (or any other individual using the same device) to be automatically recognized at each visit. Visitors can set their device browser to accept/reject all cookies or display a warning whenever a cookie is offered, in order to decide whether to accept it or not. Users can, however, change the default setup and disable cookies (i.e., block them permanently), setting the highest level of protection.
Technical cookies: these cookies serve to authenticate, use multimedia contents such as flash player or choose the browsing language. Usually, it is therefore not necessary to obtain the prior and informed user’s consent. This category includes also cookies used to statistically analyse accesses/visits to the website, only if used solely for statistical purposes and if the information is collected in aggregate form.
Profiling and marketing cookies: these cookies cannot be used on the visitors’ devices unless visitors have been informed accordingly beforehand and have granted a valid consent using the opt-in option. These types of cookies can, in turn, be grouped based on their function, i.e.:
a) Analytics: these cookies are used to collect and analyse statistical information about accesses/visits to the website. In some cases, they can be combined with other information, such as the credentials to access restricted areas (email address and password), to profile the users (habits, websites visited, downloads, type of interactions, etc.).
b) Widgets: this category includes all those graphic components of a programme user’s interface, that are aimed at simplifying the interaction between user and programme. Cookies from Facebook or Twitter, for example, are widgets.
c) Advertising: this category includes the cookies used for advertising purposes within a website. Google, Tradedoubler fall into this category.
Technical cookies
Technical cookies are used only “to allow the transmission of a communication over an electronic communication network, or to the extent strictly necessary for a provider to deliver an information company service explicitly requested by a subscriber or user” (see Article 122, paragraph 1, of the Privacy Code).
Technical cookies do not require the users’ prior consent. They are used to allow the website proper operating and/or to deliver a service or function expressly requested by a user. These cookies ensure the websites proper browsing and usage and allow to save the users’ preferences to optimise their experience. Websites use both their own and third-party’s technical cookies.
The technical cookies used on the website are classified as follows:
“user input” cookies: session cookies used to track the data provided by the user by filling the appropriate online forms (e.g., the forms used to enter the shipping or invoicing address during the purchase process) or, as happens in the case of a shopping cart, to remember the items that the user has selected and placed in the cart, by clicking on the appropriate button;
authentication cookies: cookies used to identify the user after logging-in and allow him/her to authenticate and access contents and/or functions that require a log-in (e.g., purchase, access to a personal area);
other functional cookies: cookies needed to activate specific functions of the website and to save the selections made by the user for the website pages displaying.
“Cookie Consent”: a cookie confirming the user’s consent to the installation of profiling cookies granted by performing one of the actions described in the banner/brief information. This cookie, that recognizes the user on the second access to the website so as not to request again the consent to install cookies, expires after 12 months.
The technical cookies used on this website are the following:
Third-party’s cookies
Based on the origin, the cookies sent to the browser directly from the website the user is visiting can be distinguished from those of third parties sent to the user’s device from other websites and not from the one the user is currently browsing.
Permanent cookies are often third-party’s cookies. Most third-party’s cookies are tracking cookies used to pinpoint the online behaviour, get to know the areas of interest and then customize the advertising offers for the users.
Analytic cookies
Analytic cookies are used to collect, in aggregate form or not, statistical information about the number of users that access a service.
Our company uses third-party’s analytic cookies, since they are not conveyed directly by us but by third parties and therefore are not installed directly by our company but by third parties.
