Cookie Policy | AGE web solutions

This English translation is provided for convenience only. In case of discrepancy, the Italian version prevails.

The specific purpose of this cookie policy is to describe the types of cookies on the website and how they are used, and to explain what you can do to refuse or delete them, if you wish.

What cookies are and how they are used

Cookies are strings of text sent by a web server (e.g. the website) to the user’s Internet browser, which automatically stores them on the user’s computer and automatically sends them back to the server each time, or on each subsequent visit to the site. By default, almost all web browsers are set to accept cookies automatically. The websites of AGE web solutions S.r.l. a socio unico (single-member company) use or may use, also in combination with one another, the following categories of cookies, divided according to the classification proposed in Opinion 04/2012 on Cookie Consent Exemption issued by the Article 29 Working Party at EU level:

“session” cookies, which are stored on the user’s computer for purely technical and functional purposes, to transmit the session identifiers needed to browse the site securely and efficiently; they are deleted at the end of the “session” (hence the name) when the browser is closed. This type of cookie avoids the use of other IT techniques that could potentially compromise the privacy of users’ browsing;
“persistent” cookies, which remain stored on the computer’s hard disk until they expire or are deleted by users/visitors. Through persistent cookies, visitors accessing the site (or any other users of the same computer) are automatically recognised at each visit. Persistent cookies serve many functions in the interest of users (such as the browsing language, etc.). However, persistent cookies may also be used for promotional purposes, etc. Visitors can set their computer’s browser to accept/refuse all cookies or to display a warning each time a cookie is offered, so that they can decide whether or not to accept it. In any case, users can change the default configuration and disable cookies (i.e. block them permanently) by setting the highest level of protection.

These two types of cookies (session and persistent) may in turn be:

“first-party” cookies, when they are managed directly by the owner and/or operator of the website (e.g. AGE web solutions S.r.l. a socio unico)
“third-party” cookies, when they are set and managed by parties other than the website(s) of AGE web solutions S.r.l. a socio unico.

How cookies work and how to delete them

You can control how cookies work and limit or block them by changing your Internet browser settings. You can also visit www.aboutcookies.org for information on how to manage/delete cookies according to the browser you use. To delete cookies from the Internet browser of your smartphone/tablet, refer to the device’s user manual.

Cookies used by the websites of AGE web solutions S.r.l. a socio unico

www.agews.com and all directly related websites (and sub-sites/domains) (e.g. demo.626suite.com, www.626suite-online.com, etc.) use both “session” and “persistent” cookies.

As stated above, besides being session or persistent cookies, cookies may also be third-party cookies. The latter fall under the direct and exclusive responsibility of the party that ultimately manages/processes them (for example Google Inc.) and not of AGE web solutions S.r.l. a socio unico. Third-party cookies are usually divided into the following macro-categories:

“Analytics”: cookies used to collect and analyse statistical information on accesses/visits to the website. In some cases, combined with other information such as the credentials entered to access restricted areas (your email address and password), they may be used to profile the user (personal habits, sites visited, content downloaded, types of interaction, etc.). For example, to obtain aggregated statistical information useful for assessing the use of the website and the visitor’s activities, the information collected by the cookie is stored on servers that may only be located in the EU.
“Widgets”: this category includes all graphical components of a program’s user interface designed to make it easier for the user to interact with the site. Examples of widgets are the cookies of Facebook, Google+, Twitter, LinkedIn, etc. Further information on privacy and on the actual use of these cookies is available directly on the websites of the respective parties that ultimately manage/process them (e.g. Google Inc., Facebook Inc., etc.), and not of AGE web solutions S.r.l. a socio unico.
“Advertising”: this category includes cookies used to advertise within a site. Google, Tradedoubler, etc. fall into this category, for example. Further information on privacy and on their use is available directly on the websites of Google, Tradedoubler, etc.
“Web Beacons”: this category includes all code fragments that allow a website to transfer or collect information by requesting a graphic image. Websites may use them for various purposes, such as analysing website use, monitoring and reporting on advertisements, and personalising advertisements and content.
