Extended information Cookie Policy
With this document, Sias Studio, data controller, pursuant to art. 13 of EU 2016/679 Regulation of 27 April 2016, known as GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) concerning the protection of individuals with regard to the processing and free circulation of personal data, provides users of this website www.siasstudio.com some information about the cookies used and how to deactivate them.
This site uses cookies, including third-party, that allow it to work properly and make it easier and more intuitive to use. Cookies data is collected to make the navigation experience more enjoyable and more efficient in the future.
The user agree to the use of cookies by proceeding with navigation, by accessing another area of the site or selecting an item of it (for example, an image or link), by clicking anywhere on the screen including the click on the “Cookie Policy” link, by scrolling or by closing the alert banner.
This information may be updated in accordance with European and national regulations on this matter, so you are invited to constantly check this page to make sure you agree to any changes.
WHAT ARE COOKIES?
Cookies are small text files sent from the site to the party’s terminal (usually to the browser), where they are stored to be retransmitted to the site at the next visit of the same user. A cookie can not retrieve any other data from the user’s hard disk or transmit computer viruses or acquire email addresses.
While browsing a site, the user can receive cookies on his terminal from sites or other web servers (“third-party”) on which some elements (such as images, maps, sounds, specific links to pages of other domains) on the site that the same is visiting.
TYPES OF COOKIES
Technical cookies
Technical cookies are used only in order to “transmit a communication on an electronic communications network, or to the extent strictly necessary for the information society service provider explicitly required by the subscriber or user to provide such service”.
They are not used for further purposes and are normally installed directly by the owner or website manager. They can be divided into:
- Navigation or session cookies, which ensure the normal browsing and use of the website (allowing, for example, a purchase or authentication to access restricted areas); they are in fact necessary for the proper functioning of the site.
- Analytical cookie, similar to technical cookies when used directly by the site manager to gather aggregated information about the number of users and how they visit the site in order to improve site performance.
- Functionality cookies, which allow the user to navigate according to the selected criteria (for example, the language, the products selected for the purchase) in order to improve the offered services. No user consent is required for the installation of such cookies (more information are available in the “Cookies management” section).
The law states that “technical cookies” can be installed on the user’s device by notice, which is provided with this document.
Profiling cookies
Profiling cookies are designed to create user profiles and are used to send advertisements in line with the preferences displayed by the same in the context of network browsing. Due to the particular invasiveness that such devices may have in the private sphere of users, European and Italian legislation provides that the user must be properly informed of their use and express their consent.
In fact, the regulation provides that the storage of information in the terminal device of a contractor or a user or access to information already stored is permitted only on condition that the contractor or the user has expressed their explicit consent after being been informed in simplified ways.
In the case of third-party cookies, the site does not have direct control of individual cookies and can not control them (it can neither install them directly nor delete them). You can still manage these cookies through your browser settings (follow the instructions below), or with the sites listed in the “Cookies management” section. The user is therefore invited to do all checks in the third-party site listed in the table below.
Analytical/Monitoring Third-Party Cookies
Google Analytics.
This website uses cookies generated by Google Analytics, a web traffic analysis service provided by Google Inc. (“Google”). These are third-party cookies that are aggregated and anonymously managed (they do not identify the user directly) and they are used to monitor how users use the website and to improve the website performance (performance cookies). Tools that reduce the cookie identification power are adopted and the third-party does not cross the information collected with any of the ones already provided.
Google Analytics uses cookies to collect and analyze anonymously the information about the behavior of this website (including the user’s IP address). This information is collected by Google Analytics, which processes them for the purpose of drafting reports for Sias Studio regarding the activities of this website. This site does not use (and does not allow third parties to use) the Google analysis tool to track or collect personal identification information. Google does not associate the IP address with any other data held by Google or attempts to link an IP address with a user’s identity. Google may also communicate this information to third parties where this is required by law or where such third parties handle the above information on behalf of Google.
Data generated by Google Analytics is kept by Google as indicated in the information. For more details, please refer to the Privacy Policy of Google Inc., proprietary data processor for the Google Analytics service.
The user can selectively disable Google Analytics action by installing the “Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on” on your browser: opt-out provided by Google.
