COOKIE POLICY

Why do we use cookies?

This website (colombogreen.it) uses cookies to improve our services, making them simpler and more efficient for those browsing the pages on colombogreen.it. Users who visit the site will see a minimum amounts of information entered into the devices being used – computers or mobile peripherals; these are small text files, known as “cookies”, which are stored in the directories of the user’s web browser. There are different types of cookie: some are to make site use more efficient and others are to enable specific functions. If we look closer at our coolies, they serve as follows:

– they store user preferences;
– they mean you don’t have to enter the same information more than once during your visit, such as your username and password, for example;
– they analyse the way you use the services and content provided by colombogreen.it, to optimise your browsing experience and services offered.

Cookie types

Technical cookies. This type of cookie allows some functions of the website to function correctly. They come in two categories: persistent cookies and session cookies:

– persistent: once the browser has been closed, they are not destroyed, but rather they remain until a pre-set expiry date
– session: these are destroyed every time the browser is closed

These cookies, which are always sent from our domain, are needed for the correct viewing of the website and with regard to the technical services offered, they will always be used and sent, unless users change their browser settings (which will affect the viewing of the website pages).

Analytics cookies. The cookies in this category are used to collect information on how the website is used. Colombogreen.it will use this information to analyse anonymous statistics to improve site use and to make content more interesting and pertinent to user requirements. This type of cookie collects anonymous data on user activities and how users arrive at the website. Analytics cookies are sent by the website itself or from third-party domains.

Third-party cookies. These cookies are used to collect information about site users, in anonymous format, including: pages visited, time spent on pages, origin of traffic, geographic origin, age, gender, and interests for the purposes of marketing campaigns. These cookies are sent from third-party domains external to the website.

Cookies to integrate third-party products and software functions. This type of cookie integrates functions developed by third parties within the website pages, such as icons and preferences expressed on social media in order to share the content of the website, or for use by third-party software services (such as software to generate maps and other software offering additional services). These cookies are sent from third-party domains and partner websites offering their functions on the website pages.

Profiling cookies. These are cookies needed to create user profiles in order to send advertising messages in line with the preferences shown by the user on the website pages.

Colombogreen.it, pursuant to the current regulations, is not obliged to ask consent for technical and analytics cookies, since they are necessary to provide the required services.

For all other cookie types, consent may be expressed by the user in one or more of the following ways:

– by specific browser configuration or configuration of the relevant computer programs used to browse the pages that make up the website;
– by changing the settings for using third-party services.

Both of these solutions could prevent the user to use or view part of the website.
