Cookie policy
In line with European legislation, the website www.transfersalloversicily.com aims to ensure that every user understands what cookies are and why they are used, so they can make an informed decision on whether to accept their use or not. A cookie is a small text file containing a unique identification number that is transferred from the website to the computer’s hard drive through an anonymous code capable of identifying the computer but not the user, and passively monitoring activities on the site.
Types of Cookies
Strictly necessary cookies: These cookies are essential to allow navigation of the website and the use of its features, such as access to certain protected areas. Without these cookies, some requested features such as site login or the creation of an online shopping cart could not be provided.
Analytical cookies: These cookies collect information on how users use the website, for example, which pages are visited most often, and if users receive error messages from these pages. These cookies do not collect information that identifies a specific visitor. All information collected by these cookies is aggregated and therefore anonymous. They are used solely to improve the functioning of the website.
These cookies can be compared to “technical cookies” when alternatively (i) they are used directly by the site administrator to collect information in aggregate form or they are managed by third parties and specific means are used to reduce the cookies’ ability to identify users (for example, by hiding a significant part of the IP address) and where the third party uses them exclusively for the provision of the service. For example, they store cookie data separately without crossing or enriching them with other available personal data.
Functional cookies: These cookies allow the website to remember choices the user has made (such as username, language, or the geographical area where the user lives) in order to optimize and provide more advanced features. These cookies can also be used to provide features requested by the user, such as viewing a video or the ability to comment on a blog. This information collected by cookies can be anonymous and must not track the user’s navigation and activities on other websites.
These cookies can also be defined as technical cookies.
The cookies mentioned above are defined as persistent, and their duration is established by the server at the time of their creation.
Profiling cookies: “Targeting” or “profiling” cookies are used to present content more suited to the user and their interests. They can be used to display targeted advertisements, to publish personalized ads based on the user’s interests, or to limit the number of times the user sees an advertisement. Furthermore, they help measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns on the site; the site operator might use these cookies to remember the sites the user has visited and share this information with third parties, including agencies and advertisers who might use their own cookies to collect information on the activities performed by users on the site.
Sharing cookies: “Sharing” (or social network) cookies are necessary to allow the user to interact with the Sites through their social account and are used, for example, to express appreciation and share it with relative social contacts. The site uses or may use, also in combination with each other, cookies: – “session” cookies which are stored on the user’s computer for mere technical-functional needs, for the transmission of session identifiers necessary to allow safe and efficient exploration of the site; they are deleted at the end of the “session” (hence the name) when the browser is closed; – “persistent” cookies which remain stored on the computer’s hard drive until their expiration or deletion by users. Through persistent cookies, users accessing the sites (or any other users using the same computer) are automatically recognized at each visit.
