Cookie Policy
This Cookie Policy forms an integral part of the Atlante’s Privacy Policy available here .
1. Definitions, characteristics and applicable law
1.1 Cookies are small text files that can be sent and stored on your computer or mobile device by websites you visit, and then sent back to the same sites when you visit them again. Thanks to these cookies, websites can ‘store’ your actions and preferences (e.g. login data, language, font size, other display settings, etc.) so that you do not have to configure them again the next time you visit the website or when you change pages within a website.
1.2 Cookies are therefore used for electronic authentication, session tracking and storing information about user activities while accessing a website. They may also contain a unique ID code that allows tracking of the user’s browsing activities within a website for statistical or advertising purposes. Certain operations within a website may not be carried out without the use of cookies, which in some cases are technically necessary for the website to function.
1.3 When browsing a website, the user may also receive cookies from websites or web servers other than the website visited (e.g. third-party cookies).
1.4 There are different types of cookies, depending on their characteristics and functions, which can be stored on your computer or mobile device for different periods of time: “session cookies”, which are automatically deleted when you close your browser, and “persistent cookies”, which remain on your device until the end of the pre-set expiry period.
1.5 Pursuant to current data protection legislation, the user’s explicit consent is not always required for the use of cookies. In particular, “technical cookies” – e.g. cookies used exclusively for the transmission of messages on an electronic communication network, or in any case strictly necessary to provide a service explicitly requested by the user – do not require the user’s consent. In other words, cookies that are indispensable for the operation of the Site or necessary to perform activities requested by the user may be used without the user’s consent. Cookies that can be used without consent include the following:
- technical cookies, which allow users to navigate a website according to a set of selected criteria (e.g. a certain language, products selected for purchase, etc.), in order to improve the services rendered to such users. This category includes navigation, browsing and session cookies, used to identify and authenticate users of a website;
- analytical cookies, used directly by a website operator to collect information, in aggregate form, on the number of users and how they use a website. The data collected is anonymised;
- preference cookies: these cookies allow a website to remember choices that a user has made in the past, such as their preferred language. These preferences are not used to target advertising content or to analyse specific user choices.
On the other hand, ‘social and profiling cookies’ – e.g. those used to create profiles on users and to send advertising messages in line with the preferences expressed by users when browsing websites – always require the user’s prior consent.
2. Types of cookies used by the Website
2.1 The Website uses the following categories of cookies:
- technical cookies, which include browsing, session and navigation cookies, which are strictly necessary for the functioning of the Website and/or to allow the use of the Website’s contents and services, and functionality cookies, which are used to activate specific functions of the Website and to configure it according to the user’s choices (e.g. language), in order to improve the experience;
- aggregate/anonymous analytical cookies, which allow Atlante to understand how users use the Website and to monitor traffic to and from the Website. The information collected by these cookies is processed in an aggregate and anonymous format, without collecting information about your specific ID, therefore, the use of these cookies does not entail the use of your Personal Data;
- preference cookies: these cookies allow a website to remember choices made by the user in the past, such as preferred language;
- social and profiling cookies, used to observe the preferences expressed by the user through the use of the Website and to send him advertising messages in line with these preferences. These cookies, whether Atlante’s or third party’s, are carefully selected and controlled and serve to ensure that the marketing messages received through our Website, or other websites used by Atlante to transmit its advertising messages, are in line with the visitor’s preferences. Our advertising policy is designed to deliver relevant messages based on previous visits to our Website, the pages most frequently visited and other visitor data. These cookies, when used in conjunction with other information about you, such as how you use our products and/or services, allow us to recognise when you log in and to send you personalised marketing messages in line with your preferences. On the Website you can also find social buttons/widgets, e.g. those particular ‘buttons’ that represent the icons of social networks (e.g. Facebook and Twitter). These ‘buttons’ allow users browsing the site to reach and interact with social networks directly with a ‘click’.
2.2 Atlante also uses third party cookies, e.g. cookies coming from websites/web servers other than the Website, used for specific purposes of the third parties that own such websites/web servers (including user profiling). These third parties will typically be considered autonomous data controllers of their cookies, and you should therefore refer to their privacy policies, notices or other materials to obtain more information about them. Atlante cannot control or ascertain the use that these third parties may do of third party cookies, nor their exact characteristics or purposes.
2.3 The following section lists links to information about third party cookies:
- Google’s privacy policy is available at the following link;
- Meta’s privacy policy is available at the following link;
- Linkedin’s privacy policy is available at the following link.
3. Pixel Tags
3.1 Pixel tags are usually transparent graphic images that can be inserted into a website or e-mail.
3.2 On the Site, Atlante uses pixel tags from Criteo and Double Click that detect the IP address of the computer from which the page was opened, the URL of the page, the time the page was visited and the type of browser used, in addition to detecting the value of a previously inserted cookie in order to identify the user’s preferences and send personalised advertising messages.
3.3 For further information and to find out how you can refuse the installation of Criteo’s pixel tags, please see Criteo’s privacy policy (https://www.criteo.com/privacy/).
3.4 Furthermore, Atlante uses pixel tags in e-mails sent to users for statistical purposes and in particular to detect the number of users reading the e-mails sent.
