Cookie policy

What are cookies?

A cookie is a small set of data that is sent from the web server to the user’s browser and stored by the browser on the user’s device (computer, tablet, mobile phone, or others) and which can be read or later retrieved by the server itself. Cookies allow the web portal to store some useful information within a session or for subsequent access by the user.

Does this portal use cookies?

Yes. Cookies are used to improve the website and to provide services and functionalities to users. You can restrict or disable the use of cookies via your web browser. However, if you do so, some functionalities may also be disabled.

What are cookies for?

Cookies can be used for various purposes. In some parts of the portal, cookies are essential and without them, for example, you would be unable to browse the site correctly.
Elsewhere in the portal, cookies are used to obtain useful information so as to provide specific services; moreover, some external (third-party) providers may need to install special cookies on the user’s browser to provide their services.

What types of cookies are used in this portal?

Technical cookies

Technical cookies are used for the sole purpose of ‘sending a message over an electronic communications network, or to the extent strictly necessary to an information society service provider explicitly asked by the subscriber or user to provide that service’ (Article 122(1) of the Italian Personal Data Protection Code). These cookies are not used for any other purposes and are normally installed directly by the website owner or operator. They may be divided into:

HTTP cookies (browser cookies)

These cookies are used to record on the user’s computer useful data for the normal navigation and use of the site (for example, they can store the preferred page size in a list). These cookies can be further distinguished according to their persistence on the user’s computer into:

  • session cookies, which are automatically deleted when you quit your browser;
  • persistent cookies, which have a longer life.

Functionality cookies

These cookies allow the portal to remember the choices made by the user to optimise the site’s functionalities. For example, functionality cookies make it possible to remember specific user settings, such as country selection and, if set, permanent access status.

Third-party cookies

Some functionalities are provided using the services of third parties, which are listed below.

These services produce cookies that are linked to services provided by third parties. The third party provides these services in exchange for information about the user’s visit to our portal. This means that third-party cookie providers must also comply with the applicable legislation. For this reason, you should consult the links to the third-party websites, where you can find their cookie consent forms and cookie policy. If the services are provided via indirect contacts with the third parties, you will need to consult the websites of the intermediaries between us and the third parties:

  • Analytics cookies: this website uses an additional data collection system run by Web Analytics Italia (WAI) as part of the website services published on the YourEurope Portal to provide the European Union with user access statistics. The information collected by this type of cookies is also anonymous and does not allow the user to be identified in any way, since WAI anonymises users’ IP address by default.   Read WAI’s privacy policy. These cookies do not require the user’s prior consent in order to be installed and used.

How can I deactivate or remove cookies?

Most browsers accept cookies automatically, but you can set your browser not to accept them, automatically or upon request. We do not recommend blocking cookies, since normal navigation might be affected and some or all of the functionalities of some websites might not work. If you do not want your computer to accept and store cookies, you can change your browser’s privacy settings.
