Diusapet® INFORMATION ON THE USE OF COOKIES The websites of the Diusapet Group use cookies and similar technologies to ensure the correct functioning of the procedures and improve the experience of using online applications. This document provides detailed information on the use of cookies and similar technologies, on how they are used by the Diusapet Group and on how to manage them. Definitions Cookies are short fragments of text (letters and / or numbers) that allow the web server to store information on the client (the browser) to be reused during the same visit to the site (session cookies) or later, even at a distance of days (persistent cookies). Cookies are stored, according to user preferences, by the single browser on the specific device used (computer, tablet, smartphone). Similar technologies, such as, for example, web beacons, transparent GIFs and all forms of local storage introduced with HTML5, can be used to collect information on user behavior and on the use of services. Later in this document we will refer to cookies and all similar technologies by simply using the term "cookie". Types of cookies Based on the characteristics and use of cookies we can distinguish different categories: Strictly necessary cookies. These are cookies that are essential for the proper functioning of the Diusapet Group sites and are used to manage login and access to the site's reserved functions. The duration of cookies is strictly limited to the work session (when the browser is closed they are deleted), with the exception of the eshop.petnutristore.it site where longer-lasting cookies are used to recognize, for a limited period, the visitor's computer - through an alpha-numeric code generated at the first access session. Their deactivation compromises the use of the services accessible from login. The public part of the Diusapet Group sites remains normally usable. Analysis and performance cookies. These cookies are used to collect and analyze the traffic and use of the site anonymously. These cookies, even without identifying the user, allow, for example, to detect if the same user returns to connect at different times. They also allow you to monitor the system and improve its performance and usability. The deactivation of these cookies can be performed without any loss of functionality. Profiling cookies. These are permanent cookies used to identify (anonymously or not) user preferences and improve their browsing experience. The sites of the Diusapet Group do not use cookies of this type, with the exception of the e-commerce site eshop.petnutristore.it for obvious reasons for the functioning of the shopping cart and billing to the end customer. Third party cookies By visiting a website you may receive cookies from both the visited site ("owners") and from sites managed by other organizations ("third parties"). A notable example is the presence of "social plugins" for Facebook, Twitter, Google+ and LinkedIn. These are parts of the visited page generated directly by the aforementioned sites and integrated into the page of the host site. The most common use of social plugins is aimed at sharing content on social networks. The presence of these plugins involves the transmission of cookies to and from all sites managed by third parties. The management of the information collected by "third parties" is governed by the relevant information to which reference should be made. To ensure greater transparency and convenience, the web addresses of the various information and methods for managing cookies are shown below. Facebook information: https://www.facebook.com/help/cookies/ Facebook (configuration): access your account. Privacy section. Twitter information: https://support.twitter.com/articles/20170514 Twitter (configuration): https://twitter.com/settings/security Linkedin information: https://www.linkedin.com/legal/cookie-policy Linkedin (configuration): https://www.linkedin.com/settings/ Google+ information: http://www.google.it/intl/it/policies/technologies/cookies/ Google+ (configuration): http: // www .google.it / intl / it / policies / technologies / managing / Google Analytics The Diusapet Group sites also include certain components transmitted by Google Analytics, a web traffic analysis service provided by Google, Inc. ("Google"). Also in this case these are third-party cookies collected and managed anonymously to monitor and improve the performance of the host site (performance cookies). Google Analytics uses "cookies" to collect and analyze anonymous information on the behavior of use of the websites of the Diusapet Group (including the user's IP address). This information is collected by Google Analytics, which processes it in order to draw up reports for the operators of the Diusapet Group regarding the activities on the websites themselves. This site does not use (and does not allow third parties to use) the Google analysis tool to monitor or collect personal identification information. Google does not associate the IP address with any other data held by Google nor does it try to link an IP address with the identity of a user. For more information, please refer to the link below: https://www.google.it/policies/privacy/partners/ The user can selectively disable the action of Google Analytics by installing the opt component on his browser -out provided by Google. To disable the action of Google Analytics, please refer to the link below: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout Duration of cookies Some cookies (session cookies) remain active only until the browser is closed or the logout command is executed. Other cookies "survive" when the browser is closed and are also available on subsequent visits by the user. These cookies are called persistent and their duration is set by the server at the time of their creation. In some cases a deadline is set, in other cases the duration is unlimited. The Diusapet Group, with the exception of the eshop.petnutristore.it site in relation to which information is stored exclusively for technical purposes, does not use persistent cookies. However, by browsing the pages of the Diusapet Group websites, you can interact with sites managed by third parties that can create or modify persistent and profiling cookies. Cookie management The user can decide whether or not to accept cookies using the settings on his browser. Attention: the total or partial disabling of technical cookies can compromise the use of the site features reserved for registered users. On the contrary, the usability of public content is also possible by completely disabling cookies. Disabling "third party" cookies does not affect navigability in any way. The setting can be defined specifically for different websites and web applications. Furthermore, the best browsers allow you to define different settings for "proprietary" and "third party" cookies. By way of example, in Firefox, through the Tools-> Options -> Privacy menu, you can access a control panel where you can define whether or not to accept the different types of cookies and proceed with their removal.
