Cookies are small text files that a website sends to the user’s terminal (usually a browser), where they are stored and then sent again to the website the next time the user visits the website. A cookie cannot retrieve any other information from the user’s hard drive, pass on computer viruses or capture e-mail addresses. Each cookie is unique to the user’s web browser. Some features of cookies can be transferred to other technologies. The term ‘cookie’ as used herein refers to both actual cookies and all similar technologies.

Cookies can be either first-party or third-party. “First-party” cookies refer to cookies that include the website as a domain. “Third-party” cookies refer to cookies concerning external domains. Third-party cookies are necessarily installed by an external entity, always defined as a “third party”, that is not run by the website. Such entities may also install first-party cookies by saving their own cookies to the website’s domain. Another type of cookies is the so called “Flash Cookies” (Local Shared Objects), which are used within Adobe Flash Player to display content, such as video clips or animations, so as to remember settings and preferences. Flash cookies are stored on the device, but are processed through a different interface than that of the browser currently used.

In relation to the nature of cookies, there are several types:

Technical cookies: Technical cookies are those used for the sole purpose of “carrying out the transmission of a communication on an electronic communications network, or insofar as this is strictly necessary to the provider of an information society service that has been explicitly requested by the contracting party or user to provide the said service” (cf. Art. 122, paragraph 1, of the Code) They are not used for any other purposes and are normally installed directly by the owner or the keeper of the website. They can be divided into:

• Navigation or session cookies, ensuring regular website navigation and usage (such as allowing you to make purchases or log in to access private areas); they are necessary for the website to work properly;
• Analytics cookies, similar to technical cookies when used directly by the keeper of the website to collect information, in aggregate form, about the number of users and how users visit the website, in order to enhance the performance of the website;
• Functionality cookies, allowing users to navigate based on a set of selected criteria (such as language, items selected for a purchase) in order to enhance the service given to them. Users’ prior consent is not required to install these cookies.

Profile cookies:Profile cookies are aimed at creating user profiles and are used to send advertising messages in keeping with the preferences set by the user while browsing the web. The user’s consent is required to use profile cookies. In the case of third-party cookies, the website does not have direct control over single cookies and cannot control them (it cannot install them directly or delete them). You can still handle these cookies through browser settings.

The duration of cookies is dependent on the expiration date (or on a specific action such as the closing of the browser) set upon installation. Cookies can be:

• Temporary or session cookies: They are used to store temporary information, make it possible to connect actions done during a specific session and are removed by the computer upon closing the browser;
• Persistent cookie: They are used to store information, such as log-in name and password, in order to avoid users having to type them in again each time they visit a specific website. These cookies are stored in the computer after closing the browser.

The Maetrics Srl website (the “Website”) uses cookies to make its services simple and efficient for users viewing its pages. Users accessing the Website will see minimal information inputted in the devices currently used (whether computers or mobile devices) in the form of small text files called “cookies” saved in the directories used by the user’s web browser. There are several types of cookies: some make the use of the Website more efficient, while others enable certain features.
The Website exclusively uses “technical” cookies, such as navigation, session and functionality cookies.
In particular, navigation or session cookies are used in order to ensure regular website navigation and usage and are therefore aimed at enhancing navigation and making it functional within the website.

• Navigation or session cookies
• Analytics cookies

They are used solely by the keeper of the Website to collect information in aggregate form and anonymously about the number of users and how they visit the website.

The “Google Analytics” used within the website have been made “anonymous”. The data acquired through Google Analytics can also be used by Google, according to the Google Analytics Terms of Service. There are no profile or third-party cookies used by the keeper of the Website.
