COOKIES POLICY:

Introduction

The EPIP.EU website uses cookies, which are short strings of text sent from the website server to the visitors’ browsers and are automatically saved on their PCs for easy navigation and maintaining user status information when accessing reserved areas or language preference information. Cookies created on a visitor’s computer do not contain any personal identification data and do not compromise his or her privacy or security.

What types of cookies are used?

  1. Technical cookies are used only to “carry out the transmission of a communication over an electronic communications network, or as strictly necessary for the provider of a company service, of information explicitly requested by the subscriber or user to provide the service”. They may be divided as follows:
    • session cookies, which guarantee normal navigation and use of the website allowing for example, authentication and access to restricted areas;
    • analytics cookies, similar to technical cookies were used directly by the website manager to collect information, in aggregate, on the number of users and how they visit the website;
    • function cookies, which allow browsing according to a set of selected criteria (for example, language) to improve the service rendered.
    • The use of technical cookies, usually installed by the website owner or manager, does not require the consent of the interested party.

  2. Profiling cookies are designed to create user profiles and are used to send advertising messages in line with the preferences shown while surfing the net. Given the considerable invasiveness in the privacy of users, European and Italian legislation requires that users be properly informed about their use and express their valid consent. The use of profiling cookies requires the user’s consent.

The current legal framework distinguishes between the website manager cookies and “third party” cookies, according to the different operators who install cookies on the user’s terminal, depending on whether it is the manager of the website that the user is visiting (which may be synthetically indicated as “publisher”) or a different website that installs cookies through the initial website (so-called “third-parties”).
In this respect, the publisher is, on the one hand, the data controller of the cookies installed directly and, on the other one, a technical intermediary between third parties and users. The publisher, however, is exempt from the obligation to provide information and obtain consent to their installation of cookies installed by “third parties”.

What cookies does the website use?

The EPIP Association website does not collect nor store any information about the device used by visitors to its website. However, the latter is hosted by SquareSpace (https://www.squarespace.com/), which indeed uses cookies and similar technologies to collect information about the visitors’ activity and their interaction with the EPIP website, such as their IP address(es), device and browser type, the web page visited before coming to the EPIP website, what pages of the website are visited and for how long. SquareSpace uses this data to evaluate, provide, protect or improve its services (including developing new products and services).

  • These functional and required cookies are always used, which allows Squarespace, our hosting platform, to securely serve this website to you.

  • These analytics and performance cookies are used on this website, as described below, only when you acknowledge our cookie banner. This website uses analytics and performance cookies to view site traffic, activity, and other data.
