The Site also uses several cookies to statistically assess its performance and how it is used, as well as, after obtaining your consent, to show you – while you browse the internet – advertising messages for Alcantara products and services you have shown interest in.
Through the Site, Alcantara may also process some of your personal data. Note that this processing shall be carried out in compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation – GDPR (Reg. (EU) no. 679/2016) and art. 122 of the Italian Privacy Code (Legislative Decree 196/2003, as amended).
WHAT ARE COOKIES?
Cookies are small text strings that a website you visit can send to the computer or device you are using for browsing (usually to your browser) for the purpose of storing certain information. This way, the site you visited will recognise you on each subsequent visit and, in some cases, when you browse other websites. By visiting a site, your computer may also receive cookies sent by websites or web services different from the one visited (“third parties”).
Cookies may have various characteristics, and be used for various purposes, including:
COOKIES USED BY THE SITE
The technical cookies used on the Site, shown in the table below, are required to ensure the correct functioning of the Site and to improve your browsing experience. These cookies are automatically enabled when you access the Site and cannot be disabled.
Cookie | Duration | Purpose | Type |
cookie-accept | 1 year | Stores the status of the user’s consent to cookies for the Site | HTML |
cookie-tec | 1 year | Stores the status of the user’s consent to cookies for the Site | HTML |
cookie-ga | 1 year | Stores the status of the user’s consent to cookies for the Site | HTML |
cookie-prof | 1 year | Stores the status of the user’s consent to cookies for the Site | HTML |
pll_language | 1 year | Stores language settings | HTML |
RT | 6 days | This cookie is used to identify the users through an application. This allows users to access a website via their LinkedIn application, for example. | HTTP |
The information stored by the above mentioned technical cookies, in so far as they may enable the identification of the user (as a natural person) by linking such information with other unique identifiers, may fall under the definition of “personal data” in accordance with the definition thereof in the GDPR. The data collected and processed using those cookies are not shared by Alcantara with any third party that is an autonomous data controller.
The Site uses analytic cookies to collect, in aggregate form, information on Site traffic and to generate statistics on the use of the Site. Those cookies, as set up, are equivalent to technical cookies. Thus, these cookies are automatically enabled when you access the Site, though users may disable them using cookie preferences management dashboard or by clicking on “cookies preferences” at the foot of the Site.
Specifically, for the above, the Site uses Google Analytics, which is a web analysis service provided by Google LLC (“Google”), which uses online identifiers, such as IP addresses, client IDs and device identifiers for statistics purposes. Alcantara has adopted functionalities that reduce the identification power of cookies (by masking a significant portion of the IP addresses that are collected by cookies). Moreover, as part of that service, Google does not cross-reference the information collected with other information in its possession. For more information, see the following Google policy “How Google Uses Information from Sites or Apps that Use Our Services”.
The Site uses certain profiling cookies to track the interests of visitors and, thus, send visitors customised advertising messages from Alcantara based on the preferences shown in the visitors’ browsing habits on the Site. These cookies are not required to access and browse the Site and will only be used by the Site if you expressly consent. You can change your choices concerning profiling cookies at any time by using the specific preferences management dashboard or clicking on “cookies preferences” at the foot of the Site.
MARKETING/RETARGETING COOKIES
With your consent, we will enable the advertising functions of the Google Analytics service and the Google Ads service (Doubleclick domain). Thus, we may collect certain data (online identifiers, including cookie and IP address identifiers and device identifiers, client IDs and data regarding your actions on the Site and on the internet) in order to include you in segments of the Site audience interested in our remarketing campaigns and show you our advertisements on the Google Display Network and the Google search network, based on your actions on the Site. We may also generate reports to monitor conversions (i.e. actions you carry out on the Site after viewing one of our advertisements). We manage remarketing tags through Google Tag Manager.
The data collected will be shared with Google Ireland Ltd., which provides the Google Ads services we use to conduct remarketing campaigns on the Google Display Network. In providing those services, Google Ireland Ltd. shall process your data in compliance with its privacy policy, which can be viewed here. We will not provide your data to third party advertisers.
Revocation and management of consent
