POLICY ON THE USE OF COOKIES


(Effective from 29/10/2019)

By means of this information, prepared in the light of the indications contained in the provision issued by the Italian Data Protection Authority for the protection of personal data no. 229 dated 8 May 2014, containing “Identification of simplified procedures for information and acquisition of consent for the use of cookies”, Engagigo S.r.l., with registered office in Alberi (Parma), Via Francesco Paciotto 6/A (PR), as data controller (the “Data Controller”), intends to provide users of the website www.endu.net (the “Website”) with any useful information regarding the use of cookies.

This document is an integral part of the policy on the processing of personal data, available at the following link.


What are cookies?


From a general point of view, cookies are small text strings that the websites visited by the user can send to his/her terminal (usually the browser), where they are stored before being sent back to the same websites during the next visit by the same user.

It is important to point out that, during Internet browsing, the user can receive two different types of cookies:

  1. those of the same website visited by the user (so-called “First-party cookies”); and/or
  2. those of different websites or web servers (so-called “Third-party cookies”).

Cookies, however, can be further distinguished according to the purposes for which they are used: some allow better navigation, memorising some choices made by the user with respect to specific configurations (so-called Technical cookies”), while others allow monitoring of the user's browsing and can also be used for the purpose of sending advertising and/or offering services in line with their preferences (so-called “Profiling cookies”).


First-party cookies


The Website uses the following types of first-party technical cookies, for whose installation, no consent is required from the user:

  1. Navigation or session cookies: fundamental to allow the user to navigate our Website normally and to use the related services correctly; these cookies are used, for example, to complete a purchase during a browsing session or to authenticate and access restricted areas of the Website; these are not stored on the user's computer and disappear when the browser is closed;
  2. Functional cookies: solely for the purpose of improving and speeding up the navigation on the Website, by storing certain choices made by the user during the first or subsequent access to the Website (for example, the language or products selected for purchase).

Therefore, these are the tools used by the Data Controller to ensure, among other things, efficient navigation, session stability or login permanence throughout the session. They also serve to store the choices made by the user regarding the display of some elements of the page, such as information and communication banners.

The use of technical cookies and the related processing do not require the prior consent of the user in accordance with Article 122, paragraph 1 of Legislative Decree 196/2003. In any case, this is without prejudice to the possibility for the latter to prevent at any time the installation of technical cookies through the settings of his/her browser, being aware that such a choice could complicate, slow down and sometimes block the navigation on the Website.

Engagigo acts as the Data Controller exclusively with reference to the first-party cookies installed through the Website, except as provided below with reference to third-party analytical cookies.


Third-party cookies


It is possible that during the navigation of a user on our Website, some cookies are stored on the user's device that are not directly controlled and managed by the Data Controller.

In the specific case, the Data Controller uses third-party analytical cookies (in particular, Google Analytics) to collect data on the use and performance of the Website and through which the following information is collected, by way of example:

  • number of visitors, page views and navigation within the Website;
  • performance indicators of acquisition campaigns based on different traffic sources;
  • details on products displayed and possibly downloaded on the Website.

Engagigo uses the data derived from analytical third-party cookies exclusively in aggregate and anonymous form, without collecting information that allows the personal identification of the user.

It is possible to install additional third-party cookies through the Website. This happens, for example, when the user visits a webpage that includes the contents or services of a third-party website.

The third parties that store cookies through the Website may use the personal data collected through them for their own purposes and independent of those of Engagigo; for example, such entities could process, combine and enrich the personal data thus obtained with those related to the use by the user of other services, websites or applications under the control of the same company or other entities. These cookies, as well as the purposes for which they are used outside the Website, fall under the direct and exclusive responsibility of the third party that installs them on the user's terminal.

If the user wishes to receive more information on the objectives of third-party cookies whose storage is permitted through the Website or to prevent the installation of these cookies on their terminal, they can, at any time, through the links below, access the policy and the consent forms of the said third parties and to exclude receipt by the same:


How to disable cookies


During the first visit to the Website, the user can accept all cookies by clicking on the “Allow Cookies” button or the “X” (closing) button in the banner, or on any element of the web page outside the banner itself. Alternatively, the user can, at any time (both at the time of first visit to the site and during subsequent visits) object, even selectively, to the storage of cookies, by following the procedures described in this Cookie Policy.

The user is also reminded that most browsers are programmed to accept cookies automatically; however, it is possible to modify the browser settings to disable the automatic storage of all cookies (including first-party technical cookies) or only third-party cookies; the latter option may be the most effective when the concerned third party has not correctly provided the opt-out option.

For convenience, the links to the pages containing instructions for disabling cookies on the main browsers are mentioned below:
