Cookie Policy of Discover My Italy
This document provides information about the technologies that enable this Website to achieve the purposes described below. These technologies allow the Data Controller to collect and store information (for example, through the use of Cookies) or to use resources (for example, by running a script) on the User’s device when they interact with this Website.
For simplicity, such technologies are referred to as “Tracking Tools” in this document, unless there is a reason to differentiate them.
For example, while Cookies can be used in both web and mobile browsers, it would be inappropriate to refer to Cookies in the context of mobile applications, since they require the presence of a browser. Therefore, the term Cookie is only used herein to specifically refer to that particular type of Tracking Tool. Some of the purposes for which Tracking Tools are used may, depending on applicable law, require the User’s consent. Where consent is given, it can be freely withdrawn at any time by following the instructions in this document.
This Website uses Tracking Tools managed directly by the Owner (commonly known as “first-party” Tracking Tools) and Tracking Tools that enable services provided by third parties (commonly known as “third-party” Tracking Tools). Unless otherwise specified in this document, such third parties have access to their respective Tracking Tools.
The duration and expiry of Cookies and other similar Tracking Tools may vary depending on the settings defined by the Owner or by each third-party provider. Some of them expire at the end of the User’s browsing session. In addition to what is specified in the descriptions of each category listed below, Users may obtain more detailed and up-to-date information on duration, as well as any other relevant information—such as the presence of other Tracking Tools—by consulting the privacy policies of the respective third-party providers (via the provided links) or by contacting the Owner.
