Privacy and Cookie Policy

What are cookies and what are they for?

Cookies are electronic markers and are composed of information not directly connected with the information content requested by the user. Cookies are placed in the user’s browser when the user visits any website or uses a web application with his computer, smartphone or tablet. Each cookie contains various data such as, for example, the name of the server from which it comes, a numerical identifier, etc.

Cookies can remain in the browser for the duration of a session (i.e. until the user closes the browser used for browsing) or for long periods and can contain a unique identification code. Some cookies are used to perform computer authentication, monitor sessions and store specific information about users who access a web page.

These so-called technical cookies are often useful because they can make browsing and using the web faster, because for example they intervene to facilitate certain procedures during online purchases, when accessing restricted areas or when a website automatically recognizes the user’s language. A particular type of cookie, called analytics (analytical or statistical), are then used by website managers to collect information, in aggregate form, on the number of users and how they visit the site itself, and therefore develop general statistics on the service and its use. Other cookies, called profiling cookies, can instead be used to monitor users while browsing the web to study their movements, browsing and consumption habits (what they buy, what they read, etc.), also for the purpose of sending advertisements for targeted and personalized services. This happens because Internet sites designed to use profiling cookies are able to recognize the user and/or his device used (computer, smartphone or tablet), in order to direct “profiled” promotional messages to the user based on previously performed searches and/or previously viewed websites.

A further element of distinction of cookies is linked to their origin.

First-party cookies are defined as all those cookies directly generated by the website you are viewing and managed by the owner of the same website. Third-party cookies are defined as all those cookies coming from other websites and contained in various elements hosted on the page that the user is viewing, such as advertising banners, images, videos, etc. Usually cookies managed by third parties are to be understood as profiling cookies.

Analytics cookies: These cookies are used to collect information on the use of the Site by users in anonymous form such as: pages visited, time spent, origins of the traffic of origin, geographical origin. These cookies are sent from third-party domains external to the Site (Google Analytics).

Privacy Policy – Information provided pursuant to art. 13-14 of the GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) 2016/679

The information is provided only for the site in question and not for other websites that may be consulted by the user via links. However, it is specified that Adhera does not integrate any third-party web applications into its websites, such as, by way of example and without limitation, those provided by social networks (Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Google+). The information is also inspired by Recommendation no. 2/2001 that the European authorities for the protection of personal data, gathered in the Group established by art. 29 of directive no. 95/46/EC, adopted on 17 May 2001 to identify some minimum requirements for the collection of personal data online, and, in particular, the methods, times and nature of the information that data controllers must provide to users when they connect to web pages, regardless of the purpose of the connection.

THE “DATA CONTROLLER”. Following consultation of this site, data relating to identified or identifiable persons may be processed. The “owner” of their processing is Adhera s.r.l. which has its registered office in Piazza Quattro Novembre n. 7, 20124 Milan.

PLACE OF DATA PROCESSING. The processing connected to the web services of this site takes place at the offices of Adhera s.r.l. and are handled only by technical personnel of the Office in charge of processing, or by anyone in charge of occasional maintenance operations. No data deriving from the web service is communicated or disseminated. The personal data provided by users who request dispatch of informative material are used for the sole purpose of carrying out the service or provision requested and are not communicated to third parties. The data resides on servers located in Italy and is not transferred abroad.

TYPES OF DATA PROCESSED. Navigation data The computer systems and software procedures used to operate this website acquire, during their normal operation, some personal data whose transmission is implicit in the use of Internet communication protocols. This is information that is not collected to be associated with identified interested parties, but which by its very nature could, through processing and association with data held by third parties, allow users to be identified. This category of data includes the IP addresses or domain names of the computers used by users who connect to the site, the addresses in URI (Uniform Resource Identifier) ​​notation of the requested resources, the time of the request, the method used to submit the request to the server, the size of the file obtained in response, the numerical code indicating the status of the response given by the server (successful, error, etc.) and other parameters relating to the operating system and the user’s IT environment. These data are used for the sole purpose of obtaining anonymous statistical information on the use of the site and to check its correct functioning and are deleted immediately after processing. The data could be used to ascertain responsibility in the event of hypothetical computer crimes against the site: except for this eventuality, data on web contacts currently do not persist for more than seven days. Data provided voluntarily by the user The optional, explicit and voluntary sending of e-mails to the addresses indicated on this site entails the subsequent acquisition of the sender’s address, necessary to respond to requests, as well as any other personal data included in the message. Specific summary information will be progressively reported or displayed on the site pages set up for particular services on request.

OPTIONAL PROVISION OF DATA. Apart from what is specified for navigation data, the user is free to provide the personal data contained in the request forms to Adhera S.r.l. or in any case indicated in contacts with the Office to request the sending of informative material or other communications. Failure to provide them may make it impossible to obtain what is requested. For the sake of completeness, it should be remembered that in some cases the Authority may request news and information pursuant to art. 32, paragraph 1, of law no. 675/1996 (Art.157, Legislative Decree 30 June 2003 n.196 “Code regarding the protection of personal data”) for the purposes of controlling the processing of personal data. In these cases the response is mandatory under penalty of administrative sanction.

RIGHTS OF INTERESTED PARTIES. The subjects to whom the personal data refer have the right at any time to obtain confirmation of the existence or otherwise of the same data and to know its content and origin, verify its accuracy or request its integration or updating, or rectification (art. 13 law n. 675/1996 – Art.7, Legislative Decree 30 June 2003 n.196 “Personal data protection code”). Pursuant to Article 7, you have the right to request cancellation, transformation into anonymous form or blocking of data processed in violation of the law, as well as to oppose in any case, for legitimate reasons, their processing. Requests should be addressed to Adhera s.r.l.

MINORS. The Owner’s Services are not intended for children under 18 and the Owner does not intentionally collect personal information relating to minors. In the event that information about minors is involuntarily recorded, the Data Controller will delete it promptly, upon request of the users.

TREATMENT METHODS. Personal data are processed with automated tools for the time strictly necessary to achieve the purposes for which they were collected. They are not stored on further external databases and cannot be consulted by third parties. Specific security measures are observed to prevent data loss, illicit or incorrect use and unauthorized access.

CHANGES TO THIS INFORMATION. This information may be subject to change. We therefore recommend that you regularly check this Policy and refer to the most updated version.
