Dear User,
Aimpes Servizi s.r.l., with registered office in Milan, via Alberto Riva Villasanta no. 3, in its capacity as Data Controller for the processing of personal data, following the new Guidelines for cookies and other tracking tools of 10 June 2021 issued by the Italian Data Protection Authority, which can be viewed at the following address Linee guida cookies e altri strumenti di tracciamento – 10 giugno 2021 – Garante Privacy (gpdp.it) and in compliance with the provisions of European Regulation 2016/679, informs site surfers, A) in general, on the following and B) in detail, through point 4 below, on cookies and other tracking systems and technical identifiers used specifically on the site www.mipel.com on which you are browsing.
To get in touch with the Controller, current in Milan, via Alberto Riva Villasanta no. 3, simply send an e-mail to the following address: privacy@mipel.it
A cookie is a small text file that is deposited by a website on the user’s hard disk; in detail, they are strings of text that websites (so-called ‘publishers’ or ‘first parties’) visited by the user or different websites or web servers (so-called ‘third parties’) place and store
– directly, in the case of publishers, and indirectly, i.e. through publishers, in the case of ‘third parties’ – within a terminal device available to the user.
Cookies thus uniquely identify the surfer’s browser or allow access to information on the user’s terminal. As the Italian Data Protection Authority recalls in its June 2021 ruling, ‘… The terminals referred to are, for example, a computer, a tablet, a smartphone, or any other device capable of storing information … among them we must also include the so-called IoT (Internet of Things) devices …’.
Cookies do not harm your computer and do not contain viruses. Cookies have the function of streamlining web traffic analysis or signalling when a specific site is visited and allow web applications to send information to individual users.
Why are cookies used?
Cookies are necessary for the operation of the site (technical cookies) in order to optimise its performance and provide better browsing experiences (so-called navigation cookies). Cookies are used to provide Users with the smoothest and simplest possible browsing experience, as each time they visit the site they no longer have to receive or enter the same information. Cookies can therefore perform important and diverse functions, including session monitoring, storing information on specific configurations concerning users accessing the server, facilitating the use of online content, etc. (they can, for example, be used to keep track of the items in an online shopping cart or the information used to fill in a computer form). Generally speaking, the Garante points out that some of the results pursued through cookies can also be achieved through the use of other tools such as ‘tracking tools’ the ‘passive identifiers’ presuppose the mere observation of the User and, in so doing, allow processing similar to that of cookies. Passive’ tools include e.g. fake printing. The information encoded in cookies may include personal data, such as a user name, a unique identifier or e-mail address, an IP address, but may also contain non-personal data, such as language settings or information on the type of device a person is using to browse the site.
Only the Cookies described in section 4 below are used on this site.
Cookies can be classified according to lifecycle into:
Session cookies: session cookies are placed on your computer during your session of visiting a website and are removed when you leave the site and close your browser. The cookie is stored in the computer’s temporary memory. Session cookies allow a website to follow you as you navigate from one page to another.
Websites do not have a memory of their own, but use cookies for this.
A good comparison is to think of these cookies as keys. When your computer already has the key, the website can immediately let you in, instead of treating you as a new visitor each time the page is viewed.
These types of Cookies are not stored persistently on the user’s device and are deleted when the browser is closed.
Persistent cookies: persistent cookies are placed on your computer for a longer period of time. They are only removed after the cookie’s expiry time has passed or until the user removes the cookie. This means that, for the lifetime of the cookie, its information will be transmitted to the server each time the user visits the website, or each time the user views a resource belonging to that site from another site (e.g. an advertisement).
Because this type of cookie remains on your computer for a longer period of time than session cookies, persistent cookies can be used for multiple purposes such as storing login details and remembering your preferences or settings. Persistent cookies are mostly used to track visitors when they browse a website to ‘see’ what the visitor likes so that their user experience can be improved.
Cookies can be classified according to origin in:
First-party cookies (i.e., issued directly by the owner): these are cookies sent to your browser directly from the site you are visiting and are managed directly by the owner and/or manager of the site.
Third-party cookies (i.e., issued directly by third parties that offer services functional to the proper use of the site): third-party cookies belong to domains other than the one shown in the address bar. These types of cookies generally appear when web pages are provided with content, such as advertising banners, from external websites. This implies the possibility of tracking the user’s browsing history, and is often used by advertisers in an attempt to serve relevant and personalised advertisements to each user.
Depending on the use/purpose of use:
Technical cookies: these are used for navigation (as they are functionally necessary for page scrolling, content consultation, service delivery) and to facilitate user access and use of the site.
Statistical cookies: these are used for site optimisation purposes, directly by the site owner, who may collect information in aggregate form on the number of users and how they visit the site.
Preference storage cookies: (also called functional cookies) are cookies useful for promote the effective use of the site by the user and thus favour a personalised browsing experience.
Marketing and profiling (advertising) cookies: these cookies are used to hypothesise a user’s browsing ‘profile’, so that advertising messages can be proposed in line with their behaviour and interests on the web.
Social network cookies: these cookies allow social networks, e.g. Facebook, to identify their users and collect information even while they are surfing other sites.
The Garante on this webpage COOKIE GUIDELINES AND OTHER TRACKING INSTRUMENTS – SUMMARY SHEET.pdf discusses the subject in greater detail by means of a summary sheet on its cookie guidelines and other tracking tools. Here, the Data Controller would like to recall that tracking tools can have different characteristics in terms of time and can therefore be considered on the basis of their duration (session or permanent), or from a subjective point of view (depending on whether the publisher acts autonomously or on behalf of the “third party”). The identifiers may be categorised according to different criteria, the main one being the purpose for which they are used: of a ‘technical’ or ‘non-technical’ nature, the latter category being understood in a broad sense, since the current legal framework, aimed at protecting the confidentiality of electronic communications as well as personal information, is formulated according to the scheme of a general prohibition of processing the data of the persons concerned, save for strictly and restrictively codified exceptions, which cannot be extended by analogy.
In point 4 below, the Data Controller, in compliance with the aforementioned provision, by means of a table, gives evidence of the tracking systems and technical identifiers present, where applicable, on the site on which you are browsing.
This site uses both first and third party cookies, through third party cookies it performs various activities such as.Through Iubenda (Compliance solutions for websites, apps and organisations | iubenda), the Owner manages the cookies and as a user of the service provided by Iubenda, provides, through the link below, all the information on the cookies present on its site, in relation to the type, purpose, category, retention time, method of modifying consent (where originally requested and given by the interested party) etc..
Art. 15 – right of access, i.e. the data subject/user has the right to obtain information on which of his/her personal data are processed by the Data Controller, the purposes for which they are processed, the length of time for which they will be stored and the manner in which they are processed.
Article 16 – right to rectification, i.e. the interested party/user has the right to verify the correctness of the
their data and to request any changes/additions.
Article 17 – Right to erasure, i.e. the data subject/user may request the erasure of his/her data if certain conditions are met, such as, for example, the personal data is no longer necessary for the purpose for which it was collected.
It is our right to refuse to comply with your cancellation request (ex art 17 GDPR) for one of the following reasons:
Art. 18 – Right to restriction of processing, i.e. the data subject/user may request a restriction of the processing that may be carried out with regard to his or her data if certain conditions are met, e.g. the data was acquired for that specific purpose in an unlawful manner.
Art. 20 – right to data portability, i.e. the user/participant has the right to receive his/her data in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format and, where technically feasible, to have it transferred without hindrance to another data controller when the data is processed by automated means and the processing is based on the User’s consent, on a contract to which the User is a party or on contractual measures related thereto.
Art. 21 – right of objection, i.e. the user/participant has the right to object to the processing of his/her data when it is done on a legal basis other than consent for reasons related to his/her particular situation; when, on the other hand, the legal basis is consent, the user/participant may object at any time, but the processing carried out up to that moment remains lawful.
Art. 22 – Automated decision-making process concerning natural persons, including profiling: save for specific exceptions expressly provided for in the law, the data subject/user has the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling, which produces legal effects concerning him or her or significantly affects him or her in a similar way.
