Cookies Policy

  • Definitions, characteristics, and implementation of regulations

    Cookies are small text files that sites you visit send and store on your computer or mobile device, only to be transmitted back to the same sites on your next visit. It is precisely because of cookies that a website remembers a user’s actions and preferences (such as, for example, login data, language choice, font size, other display settings, etc.) so that they do not have to be indicated again when the user returns to said Website or navigates from one page to another of it. Cookies, therefore, are used to perform computer authentication, session tracking, and storage of information regarding the activities of users accessing a website and may also contain a unique identifier code that allows tracking of the user’s browsing within the Website for statistical or advertising purposes. When browsing a website, you may also receive cookies on your computer from sites or web servers other than the one you are visiting (so-called “third-party” cookies).

    Some operations could not be accomplished without the use of cookies, which in some cases are therefore technically necessary for the very operation of the Website.
    There are various types of cookies, depending on their characteristics and functions, and these can remain on the user’s computer for different periods of time: so-called session cookies, which are automatically deleted when the browser is closed; so-called persistent cookies, which remain on the user’s equipment until a predetermined expiration date.

    Under applicable law, express user consent is not always required for the use of cookies. In particular, “technical cookies,” i.e., those used for the sole purpose of carrying out the transmission of a communication over an electronic communications network, or to the extent strictly necessary to provide a service explicitly requested by the user, usually do not require such consent. These are, in other words, cookies that are essential for the operation of the Website or necessary to perform activities requested by the user.

    For “profiling cookies“, vice versa, i.e., those aimed at creating profiles related to the user and used for the purpose of sending advertising messages in line with the preferences expressed by the user in the context of web browsing, prior consent of the user is usually required, as far as it depends on the applicable legislation.

    Types of cookies used by the Website and options for (de-)selection

    The Website uses the following cookies, which can be de-selected, except for third-party cookies for which you should refer directly to the respective cookie selection and de-selection methods, indicated by links:

    • Navigation or session technical cookies, strictly necessary for the operation of the Website or to enable you to take advantage of the content and services requested.
    • Analytical cookies, which allow you to understand how the Website is used. No information about your identity or any personal data is collected with these cookies. Information is processed in aggregate and anonymous form.
    • Functionality cookies, i.e., used to enable specific Website features and a selected set of criteria (e.g., language) in order to improve the service rendered.
    • Profiling cookies, used for the purpose of sending advertising messages in line with the preferences you expressed as part of your web browsing.

    TeamSystem also forwards third-party cookies, that is, cookies from sites or web servers other than TeamSystem’s for purposes specific to those third parties, including profiling cookies. Please note that these third parties, listed below with links to their privacy policies, are typically either autonomous data controllers of the data collected through the cookies they provide, or they act as Data Processors for TeamSystem (i.e. they process personal data on behalf of TeamSystem).
