COOKIE POLICY

By using the website www.visitsangiovannilupatoto.it (“Website”) or receiving our emails, you consent to the use of cookies in accordance with this “Cookie Policy”.

Definition and Purpose – What are Cookies

Web pages do not have a memory function. When navigating from one page to another on a website, you will not be recognized as the same user on each page. A cookie is a small text file in which some information about your browsing is stored. Cookies allow the website to recognize you as a unique user. They are sent from the website to your device (computer, tablet, smartphone, notebook, etc.), where they are stored and then retransmitted on your next visit.

Cookies ensure more efficient website operation by improving navigation, for example:

• remembering the settings you have entered, so you do not have to modify them each time you access a new page;
• storing the information entered (e.g., username, language, browser type, etc.).

For more information about cookies and privacy, you can consult the documentation on the website of the Italian Data Protection Authority at the following link: http://www.garanteprivacy.it/.

Accessing and browsing the Website express your consent to receive cookies.

Duration and Types of Cookies

The Data Controller is Comune di San Giovanni Lupatoto, located at Via Roma, 18, 37057 San Giovanni Lupatoto VR, Italy, and can be contacted at cultura@comune.sangiovannilupatoto.vr.it. The data processing operations will be carried out by designated personnel acting under the direct authority of the Data Controller, in compliance with the instructions received.

Duration and Types of Cookies

Some cookies are automatically deleted at the end of the browsing session, while others remain stored on devices, usually within the browser used (e.g., Google Chrome, Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, etc.). Cookies are classified into two types based on their duration:

• Temporary Cookies
  Temporary cookies (or session cookies) are removed from the computer when the browser is closed. They are used to store temporary information, such as items in a shopping cart. Almost all cookies on websites visited are session cookies, whose activity ends when the Internet browser is closed.

• Persistent Cookies
  Persistent cookies are stored on users’ computers or other devices during a browsing session and remain there even after the session ends. Persistent cookies serve various user-related functions (e.g., storing login credentials to avoid re-entering them on each visit to the same site). These cookies remain stored on the device for a specific period, depending on their function.

These two types of cookies (session and persistent) can further be categorized as “first-party” and “third-party” cookies.

• First-party cookies: These are cookies sent by the owner of the website being visited.
• Third-party cookies: These are cookies sent by entities other than the website owner, meaning they are set by a website different from the one currently visited. These cookies fall under the direct and exclusive responsibility of the third-party provider.

At any time, you can delete all cookies from your browser. However, permanently disabling all cookies may result in difficulties in navigation or even make certain website functionalities unavailable. For example, you may no longer be able to:

• use e-commerce stores for purchases,
• access the Customer Area and manage purchased products,
• use web-based software, etc.
