See below to know about website Cookies, their respective function and duration/expiry, and to give an informed consent to their use.
WHAT ARE COOKIES?
Cookies are small text files, consisting of letters and numbers, which the Website send to his terminal (usually the browser). They can be saved and stored on the computer (or on other devices enabled, for example smartphones, tablets, etc.) for a certain period of time to be re-transmitted to the same Website, so that they can be used for the next visit of the same User.
While browsing a Website, the User may also receive on his terminal Cookies sent from different websites or web servers (so-called "third-parties") from which originate some displayed elements (such as, for example, images, maps, sounds, specific links to pages of other domains).
Cookies have the function of streamlining the web traffic analysis or to signal when a specific website or part of it is visited or to distinguish visitors from each other in order to provide them with personalized content. Furthermore, cookies help administrators to improve the website and User browsing experience.
For example, some Cookies are used for computer authentication, session monitoring, information storage, etc.; other cookies can be used for Users monitoring and profiling, for movements and habits studying (what they buy, what they read, etc.), and for tailoring advertisements.
WHAT TYPES OF COOKIES DO WE USE ?
TECHNICAL COOKIES / ANALYTICS COOKIES
www.sic-consulting.it uses Cookies for technical needs of the Site. Some of these Cookies are necessary for the Website to properly work and to allow the User to browse and view all its contents.
For example, they are used for keeping a browsing session open or for temporarily storing the information entered, when you return to a previous page during the same session.
A possible deactivation of some of the technical Cookies (those strictly necessary) can lead to malfunction of the site.
It should be noted that the User's consent is not required for the creation of this type of Cookies.
With regard to analitycs Cookies (so-called analytical Cookies), the Guarantor (see provision of 8 May 2014 and Guidelines for cookies and other tracking tools of 10 June 2021) specified that they can be assimilated to technical Cookies if used for optimization of the site directly from the owner of the site itself, which will be able to collect statistical information in aggregate form on the number of users and how they visit the site.
If, on the other hand, the processing of such statistical analyzes is entrusted to third parties, the User data must be minimized in advance and cannot be combined with other processing, nor transmitted to other third parties. Under these conditions, the same rules apply for analytics cookies, in terms of information and consent, as for technical cookies.
DIFFERENCES BETWEEN SESSION COOKIE AND PERSISTENT COOKIES
SESSION COOKIES
A "session cookie" is used only for the reference browsing session and is deleted when the User closes the browser window. It allows the Website to temporarily store the information necessary for navigation from one page to another, avoiding having to re-enter them.
The use of these cookies is strictly limited to session identifiers transmission, consisting of random numbers generated by the server, necessary to allow a safe and efficient Website browsing.
User consent is not required for the use of this type of cookies.
See the section "How can I grant or revoke consent to the use of Cookies?” below.
PERSISTENT COOKIES
A "Persistent Cookie" is used to maintain information between one Website access and another, and to improve navigation by recognizing if a User has already visited the Website or not.
It remains on the User device beyond the closure of the single session, and precisely:
- for the "life span" of the Cookie, set by the Website. It can vary from a few minutes to several years (each type of these Cookies has its own specific duration);
- until they are manually deleted changing the browser settings. See the instructions in the section "How can I grant or revoke consent to the use of Cookies?” below.
DIFFERENCES BETWEEN OWN COOKIES AND THIRD-PARTY COOKIES
COOKIES can be OWN COOKIES, if they are installed directly by the manager/administrator of the website you are visiting.
THIRD-PARTY COOKIES are installed on the terminal by a third operator.
In particular, social networks (by way of example: Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, etc.) may install these Cookies.
However, since this list depends on the choices of these third-parties, the User is invited to consult the related cookie policies through the link included in the Privacy Policy of this WebSite, also in order to disable, through the opt-out mechanism, the related Cookies installed.

HOW CAN I GRANT OR REVOKE CONSENT TO THE USE OF COOKIES?
The User can change his/her preferences relating to Cookies and prevent - for example – third-parties from installing them in the following ways:
- by express refusal to consent - not required for technical Cookies - using the specific buttons on the banner;
- by setting the browser software accordingly.
- a) Some browsers support the Do Not Track function, which allows the User to automatically stop the collection of certain Data. However, not all websites are set up to enforce this option (discretionary).
- b) Some browsers allow you to surf in "anonymous mode” limiting the amount of Data set on your computer and automatically deleting persistent Cookies placed on your device when you finish browsing.
In this case, the Website will not detect the User, the pages viewed and the related Cookies will not be stored in the history.
