This policy describes the use of cookies and similar technologies on the website https://www.biblos-valtournenche.it/ and explains how to manage your preferences. The Website uses cookies to ensure its proper functioning and security and, only with prior consent, to enable additional features and collect aggregated statistics on the use of the Website. We do not use marketing or advertising cookies (such as Google Ads) and do not process data for marketing, profiling or remarketing purposes.

2. What cookies and similar technologies are

Cookies are small text files that websites send to the user’s device and that are then sent back to the website on subsequent visits. In addition to cookies, similar technologies (such as identifiers, local storage or tags) may be used for similar purposes. Cookies may be session cookies (which are deleted when the browser is closed) or persistent cookies (which remain stored for a defined period).

​

3. Consent management and changing preferences

On the first visit, a banner is displayed allowing users to accept, reject or customise the categories of non-essential cookies. Preferences may be changed or withdrawn at any time through the “Cookie Settings” widget/link available on the Website (if active) and/or through the browser settings. Essential cookies remain active at all times because they are necessary for the functioning and security of the Website.

​

4. Essential cookies (always active)

These cookies are necessary to allow the Website to function correctly and securely. They enable navigation between pages, technical management of the service, prevention of improper use, and storage of the choices expressed through the cookie banner. Without essential cookies, some Website features may not be available or may not function as intended.

The legal basis for processing is the technical necessity to provide the service and the Data Controller’s legitimate interest in ensuring the security of the Website.

​

5. Analytics cookies (only with consent)

If the user gives consent, these cookies allow FC S.N.C. di Mereu Andrea e Mura Maria Teresa to collect statistical information about the use of the Website, generally in aggregated form, in order to understand what works well and what could be improved. The information may include, for example, the number of visits and visitors, pages viewed, time spent on the Website, the general source of traffic, the type of device and browser used, as well as technical events related to browsing (such as clicks on elements or loading errors).

The data are used exclusively for the purposes of measuring and improving the performance and content of the Website and not for marketing, profiling or personalised advertising purposes. Activation takes place only after consent has been given, and consent may be changed or withdrawn at any time through the cookie settings.

The legal basis for processing is consent.

​

6. Functional cookies (only with consent)

Functional cookies allow additional features and external content to be activated in order to improve the browsing experience. Google Maps is integrated into the Website, and the map remains blocked until consent to non-essential cookies has been given (typically under the “Functional” category).

By accepting this category, Google Maps may be loaded and Google may use cookies or other identifiers and collect technical data (such as IP address and browser and device information) to provide the map service and manage its security and operation.

The legal basis for processing is consent.

​

7. Marketing cookies

The Website does not use marketing or advertising cookies (such as Google Ads) and does not carry out profiling, remarketing or personalised advertising activities. Consequently, FC S.N.C. di Mereu Andrea e Mura Maria Teresa does not process data collected through cookies for marketing purposes.

​

8. Third-party cookies

The Website may include content or features provided by third parties. When such content is activated, the browser may connect to the third party’s servers, and the third party may process technical browsing data (such as IP address, date and time of the request, page visited, and browser and device information) and use cookies or other identifiers according to its own practices.

FC S.N.C. di Mereu Andrea e Mura Maria Teresa determines how such content is integrated into the Website and collects the user’s choice through the banner, while the third party processes the data collected through its own cookies/identifiers as an independent data controller, in accordance with its own privacy policy.

​

9. Companies providing third-party services

The third-party services integrated into the Website are provided by companies external to FC S.N.C. di Mereu Andrea e Mura Maria Teresa and to the Wix platform. The company providing the integrated service processes the data collected through its own cookies/identifiers in accordance with its own privacy policy and, as a general rule, acts as an independent data controller.

For the map service integrated into the Website, the provider is Google (Google Ireland Limited and/or Google LLC).

 

10. Google Maps (third-party service)

The map integrated into the Website is provided by Google (Google Ireland Limited and/or Google LLC). The map remains blocked until consent to non-essential cookies has been given. Once activated, Google may set cookies/identifiers and process technical and usage data necessary to provide the service and manage its security and operation.

Google may also process data outside the European Economic Area, in accordance with the safeguards provided for by applicable law.

11. Managing cookies through the browser

Users may also manage cookies through their browser settings (blocking, deleting or restricting cookies). Disabling essential cookies may impair the functioning of the Website; disabling functional cookies may prevent Google Maps from being displayed; disabling analytics cookies prevents the collection of statistics.

 

12. Data retention

The duration of cookies varies depending on their type (session/persistent) and the browser settings. Any technical and security logs may be retained for the period necessary to ensure the security and operation of the Website and to comply with any legal obligations.

​
