Cookie Policy

1. Introduction 

    This cookie policy refers exclusively to the website www.oratoriosolomeo.it (“Site”) and should be understood as an integral part of the Privacy Policy of the same.

    2. Definition, characteristics, and applicable regulations for cookies and similar technologies 

    A “cookie” is a small text file that can be stored in a dedicated space on the hard drive of the user’s device (e.g., computer, tablet, smartphone, etc.) when visiting a website through their browser and may be subject to the user’s prior consent before being installed. Through cookies, a website remembers the user’s actions and preferences (such as login data, chosen language, font size, other display settings, etc.) so that they do not have to be re-entered when the user returns to visit the site or navigates from one page to another. Cookies are used to perform computer authentications, session monitoring, and storage of information regarding the activities of users accessing a site and may also contain a unique identification code that allows tracking the user’s navigation within the site for statistical or advertising purposes. During navigation on a site, the user may also receive cookies from sites or web servers other than the one they are visiting (so-called “third-party” cookies). Some operations could not be performed without the use of cookies, which in some cases are therefore technically necessary for the operation of the site itself.

    There are various types of cookies, depending on their characteristics and functions, and these can remain on the user’s computer or mobile device for different periods: so-called session cookies, which are automatically deleted when the browser is closed; so-called persistent cookies, which remain on the user’s device until a predetermined expiration date.

    According to applicable regulations, the use of cookies does not always require the user’s express consent. In particular, “technical cookies” do not require consent, i.e., those used solely to carry out the transmission of a communication over an electronic communications network or to the extent strictly necessary to provide a service explicitly requested by the user. In other words, these are cookies that are essential for the operation of the site or, in any case, necessary to perform activities requested by the user. Among the technical cookies that do not require explicit consent for their use, the Italian Data Protection Authority (cf. provision Identification of simplified procedures for the information and acquisition of consent for the use of cookies of May 8, 2014 – hereinafter only “Provision” – and, most recently, the Guidelines on cookies and other tracking tools of June 10, 2021 – hereinafter only “Guidelines”) also includes:

    Conversely, for “profiling cookies,” i.e., those aimed at identifying the user’s preferences to improve and personalize their browsing experience and/or show them marketing communications in line with the preferences expressed during navigation, as well as for third-party statistical or analytical cookies, if tools that reduce the identifying power of the cookies are not adopted and the third party cross-references the information collected with other information already available, the user’s prior consent is required.
     
    3. Systems and Types of Cookies Used by the Site

    The Site uses the following systems and cookies:

    It should be noted that the aforementioned third parties process personal data as data processors on behalf of the Data Controller, pursuant to specific data processing agreements under Article 28 of Regulation (EU) 2016/679. The third parties, listed below with their respective hyperlinks to their privacy policies, typically also act as independent data controllers for the data collected through the cookies they send; in such cases, the user gives or denies consent directly to the owner of the cookie in question to which the Site merely refers. The management of information collected by third parties is governed by their privacy policies, which are referenced below for convenience:

    The cookies installed through the Site are detailed below:

    4. Cookie Settings

    The user can select/deselect whether to authorize cookies upon first access to the site, via the appropriate cookie banner. The user can also modify their cookie settings at any time using the appropriate button in the bottom left corner of the site. Additionally, the user can authorize, block, or delete (in whole or in part) cookies through the specific functions of their browser. To disable these cookies or to get more information on how to set preferences for the use of cookies through their browser, the user can consult the relevant instructions:

    Attention: The user is informed that disabling technical cookies may make it impossible to use the Site and view its contents. Disabling functionality cookies may result in some services or certain functions of the Site being unavailable or not working correctly, and the user may be required to modify or manually enter some information or preferences each time they visit the Site. Failure to authorize the other cookies indicated will not affect the functioning of the Site; however, for third-party cookies, since these types of cookies are sent exclusively by third parties and the Site Owner cannot exercise control over the sending of these cookies to the user’s terminal, the related opposition can be exercised by accessing the consent forms provided by the aforementioned third parties, if available, or through the settings of their browser. Links to the privacy policies and any consent collection forms for receiving cookies provided by third parties that send cookies through the Site are provided in the section “Types of cookies used by the Site.” Regarding cookies directly sent by the Site operator, in addition to the procedure made available on this page, the user can block or delete (in whole or in part) cookies through the specific functions of their browser (see above). The choices made by the user regarding the Site’s cookies will be recorded in a specific technical cookie, with the characteristics reported in the relevant cookie table. The user’s preferences regarding cookies will need to be reset if different devices or browsers are used to access the Site.
