INTRODUCTION
Cookies are small text strings that are sent to and stored on users’ terminal (usually the browser) via visited websites; they are then re-transmitted to the same websites upon the next visit by the same users.
When users view the website, a minimum amount of information will be recorded in the devices in use (computers or mobile devices) in the form of small text files called “cookies”; these are saved in the directories used by the User’s web browser for periods that vary according to need and generally between a few hours and a few years, except for profiling cookies the maximum duration of which is 365 calendar days.
This document is an integral part of the “Privacy Policy” of SAPISECO.COM which also includes the website and cookie information that can be consulted here; the document has been prepared in accordance with the Provision of the Italian Privacy Authority of 8 May 2014 published in the Italian Official Gazette no.126 of 3 June 2014, implementing Directive 2002/58/EC.
The information documents have been organized in this manner to ensure greater clarity for users with regard to the meaning, use and deactivation of cookies.
Cookies enable the semi-permanent recording of information concerning the user’s preferences and other technical data that facilitate browsing and ensure easier use and greater effectiveness of the website. For example, cookies can be used to determine if a connection has already been made between the visitor’s computer and the visited website, with consequent emphasis on new aspects or to store the “login” information.
Users can express their preference regarding the use of cookies on this website (see detailed list of “types of cookies” below), including through their browser(s) settings, by following the instructions provided. Users can also set their browser to “anonymous browsing” mode, in which case during browsing no information is stored about visited websites and pages, about any passwords entered or other information parameters that can reveal their identity.
THIRD PARTIES
Users’ data are also collected through tools and services provided and stored by third parties.
For more information, see the cookie policy of said third parties by following the instructions provided later on in this document.
Considering that the identification of technologies based on cookies is quite complex and that they are closely integrated within the operation of Apps and the Internet, Users are recommended to contact the Data Controller if they need any additional information on the use of cookies and on their use through this website – for example by a third party.
MONITORING AND DISABLING COOKIES
If a user has any doubts or concerns about the use of cookies, they can at all times prevent cookies from being set up and read by their device; for example, users can change their browser privacy settings to block certain types of cookies.
Since browsers – and often different versions of the same browser – differ, sometimes significantly, one from the other, users who wish to set their browser preferences independently can find detailed information on the required procedure in the guide of each of these instruments. For a summary overview of procedures for the most common browsers, please visit www.cookiepedia.co.uk .
Users can thus manage their preferences regarding cookies directly into their browser and prevent – for example – the installation of third-party cookies. Through their browser preferences, users can also delete cookies previously installed, including the cookie that contains the saved permission for the installation of cookies by this website, where applicable. It is important to note that if all cookies are disabled, the proper functioning of this website may be affected.

COOKIES (definition and general description)
Cookies are small portions of code stored in users’ browser that help the Data Controller to provide the service according to the described purposes.
When browsing a website, users can also receive cookies on their terminal that are sent from different websites or web servers (“third-party cookies”), which may contain some elements (such as, for example, images, maps, sounds, specific links to pages of other domains) that are displayed on the visited website.
Cookies, a very large number of which is present on users’ browsers and sometimes for a long time, are used for different purposes: computer authentication, monitoring of sessions, storage of information on specific configurations concerning users who access the server, etc.
Some of the purposes for installing cookies may also require the user’s consent.
To ensure a correct regulation of these devices, given that there are no technical characteristics differentiating them, they should be distinguished based on the purposes for which they are used.
This is the view taken by the legislation which, in implementation of the provisions contained in Directive 2009/136/EC, has made users’ prior and informed consent mandatory for the installation of cookies used for other than purely technical purposes (see Article 1, paragraph 5, a), of Italian Legislative Decree no. 69 of 28 May 2012, which amended art. 122 of the Code).
Further information on cookies can be found on www.allaboutcookies.org as well as on the website of the Italian Privacy Authority, where you can view useful documents regarding the classification of cookies as per the Privacy Authority Provision of 8 May 2014, published on the Italian Official Gazette no.126 of 3 June 2014, implementing Directive 2002/58/EC.
COOKIES USED BY THE WEBSITE
The website www.artistie.com uses various types of cookies, some of which for a more effective use of the website, others to enable certain features.
To enable the use of this website and the provision of services associated with it, the following cookies are used:
- persistent cookies (i.e. cookies that are stored until they are manually deleted by the user or for which a long-term scheduled removal is envisaged);
- session cookies, which are not permanently stored on the visitor’s computer and which disappear when the browser is closed.
Please note that own cookies are those generated and used by this website, while third-party cookies are generated by third parties on this website.
While we specify that the disabling of some cookies may limit the ability to use the website and may prevent the user from fully benefiting of all available features and services, we remind you that the previous paragraph contains explanations on how to best manage or disable cookies.
Different types of cookies – with specific functions – are used on this website; they may fall into one or more of the following categories.
TECHNICAL COOKIES
In general, technical cookies are those that enable the recording of previous actions or the storage of the user’s session or the performance of other activities that are strictly necessary for the functioning of the website.
Some of these cookies are essential for the proper functioning of the website and allow users to browse through it, view its contents and benefit from its features.
The website www.artistie.com uses technical cookies that are necessary and essential for its functioning and to improve the user’s browsing experience.
The use of these cookies does not require the consent of the data subject.
“Functional” cookies (similar to technical cookies according to the Provision of the Italian Privacy Authority of 8 May 2014 published in the Official Gazette no.126 of 3 June 2014, implementing Directive 2002/58/EC) enable the website to recall users’ choices (for example the user name) to provide users with a more personalized and optimized navigation.
Functional cookies are not essential for the website to function, but they improve the browsing quality and experience; if you don’t accept these cookies, the performance and functionality of the website may not be optimal and access to its contents may be limited.
A particular type of technical cookie is the cookie for storing consent; this cookie keeps track of the consent given by users to the use of cookies on this website, so that in subsequent visits the short information on cookies and the request for consent are no longer displayed.
ANALYTICAL COOKIES
These cookies are used to collect and analyse information that helps understand how users interact with the website, by providing for example:
- statistical information on accesses and visits to the website with regard to the last visited page;
- the number of sections and pages visited and the number of visitors;
- statistical information on the average time spent by users on the website;
This information may be associated with users’ details such as IP address, domain or browser; however, when it is analysed for the sole purpose of obtaining anonymous statistical information on the use of the website, the cookies that collect such information can be considered as technical cookies.
Through the Google Analytics panel, we can understand whether visits were made by new or returning visitors by checking on how visitors browsed through the pages (input links, exit links, moving from one page to another, for how long each page was visited, geographical origin, etc.).
Furthermore, the third party does not cross-reference the information collected with that already available.
AGGREGATE STATISTICAL COOKIES
When there are services that are not completely anonymised, users will find them listed among third-party cookies for which consent can be denied to protect one’s privacy.
These non-profiling cookies are exempt from the requirement to collect the consent of the data subject.
The website uses Google Analytics, a web traffic analysis service provided by Google Inc., which uses cookies to collect and analyse, in aggregate form, information relating to users’ navigation. The information generated by cookies on how the website is used (including your anonymous IP address) will be sent to and stored on Google servers.
Neither the website nor Google associate the users’ IP address with other data in their possession to identify them directly.
The use of these cookies is not necessary, but it enables the Data Controller to improve the website contents and services based on indications obtained from statistical analysis.
Users’ consent is not necessary to release this type of cookies, we just have to provide complete information associated with a summary version of it displayed through an information banner.
OTHER THIRD-PARTY COOKIES
This type of cookies includes functions and services developed by third parties within the website pages such as social networks icons and preferences, software to generate maps, the ability to access video streaming services and CDN networks or other additional services.
These cookies are sent from third-party domains and partner websites that offer their functions through the website pages.

Users should also consider that these external parties, on which the Data Controller has no control, could intercept some of users’ personal data while they also browse outside of www.artistie.com website, through the information stored in cookies for which users have given their consent.
Therefore, the Data Controller cannot provide guarantees regarding how those third parties will use the information collected.
The use of data collected by these external operators through cookies is subject to their respective privacy policies. For detailed information on this aspect, please consult the privacy policy of the services specified as third-party cookies.
