WHAT ARE COOKIES?

Cookies are small text strings that websites visited by users can send to their devices (usually to their browsers), where they are stored to be sent back to the same websites upon subsequent visits.

The information processed through cookies may include personal data (e.g., IP address, username, information about an identifiable user’s browsing habits).

Cookies can be installed by the website operator (“first-party cookies”) or by third parties through the website being visited (“third-party cookies”).

Different categories of cookies can be identified according to their function.

TECHNICAL COOKIES

These cookies are necessary to allow navigation on the website and to ensure it functions correctly.

The Controller must use these cookies to enable the website’s use and does not require the data subject’s consent.

PERSONAL DATA PROCESSING AND DATA SUBJECT RIGHTS

Non-anonymised cookies constitute personal data. The user is therefore considered a “data subject” under EU Regulation 2016/679 regarding the processing of such data.

Legal Basis for Processing

The legal basis for processing technical cookies is to allow proper website navigation and does not require user consent pursuant to Article 122 of the Italian Privacy Code.

The legal basis for processing cookies requiring consent (cookies with purposes other than technical ones) is, indeed, the user’s explicit consent.

Providing personal data is therefore optional, and failure to provide consent for non-technical cookies will have no negative consequences; deleting technical cookies may affect website functionality.

Transfer and Disclosure

Third-party cookies involve data processing by independent third-party entities in accordance with applicable laws.

List of third parties installing cookies on the Controller’s website:

Personal data processed through cookies may be transferred outside the European Economic Area by the above third parties in compliance with adequate safeguards as stated in their respective cookie policies.

Personal data will not be publicly disclosed.

Data Subject Rights

At any time, the Data Subject may exercise the following rights pursuant to Articles 15–22 of EU Regulation 2016/679:

– Request confirmation of whether personal data concerning them are being processed;
– Access their personal data;
– Obtain data updates or rectification;
– Request data erasure;
– Request restriction of processing;
– Obtain data portability;
– Object to data processing at any time;
– Withdraw consent at any time, without affecting the lawfulness of prior processing.

Contact email for exercising rights or requesting information regarding personal data processing:
info@europemediagroup.eu

If the response to the user’s request is unsatisfactory, or if deemed necessary, a complaint may be lodged with the Italian Data Protection Authority (Garante per la Protezione dei Dati Personali).
