Cookie Policy
1. Introduction
This Cookie Policy refers solely to the Solomeo Regenerative Medicine Clinic website (www.cmrsolomeo.it, hereinafter the “Website”) and should be understood as an integral part of its Privacy Policy.
2. What are Cookies
A “Cookie” is a small text file that may be stored in a dedicated space on the hard drive of the device used by the user (e.g., computer, tablet, smartphone, etc.) when visiting a website through their browser and may be subject to the user’s prior consent before being installed. Using Cookies, a website remembers the user’s actions and preferences (such as, for example, login information, language choice, font size, other display settings, etc.), so that they do not have to be selected again when the user returns to the website or browses from one page to another. Cookies are thus used to perform computer authentication, session tracking, and storage of information regarding the activities of users on the website, and may also contain a unique identifier code that allows tracking of the user’s browsing within the website itself for statistical or advertising purposes. While browsing a website, your computer or mobile device may receive Cookies from websites or web servers other than the one you are visiting (known as “Third-party” Cookies). Some operations could not be accomplished without the use of Cookies, which in some cases are therefore technically necessary for the website’s very operation.
There are various types of Cookies, with different characteristics and functions, and they may remain on your computer or mobile device for different periods of time: Session Cookies, which are automatically deleted when the browser is closed; Persistent Cookies, which remain on the user’s device until a predetermined expiration date.
Under applicable law, express user consent is not always required to use Cookies. Specifically, “Technical Cookies”, i.e., those used for the sole purpose of sending a communication over an electronic communications network or to the extent strictly necessary to provide a service explicitly requested by the user, do not require consent. In other words, these are cookies that are essential for the operation of the Website, or in any case necessary to perform activities requested by the user. Technical Cookies, which do not require express consent for their use, Italy’s Data Protection Authority (see the provision Identification of simplified methods for information and acquisition of consent for the use of Cookies of May 8, 2014, hereinafter the “Provision”, and, more recently, the Guidelines on cookies and other tracking tools of June 10, 2021, hereinafter the “Guidelines”) also include:
- First-party and third-party statistical or analytical Cookies, if tools are adopted that reduce the identifying power of the Cookies and the third party does not cross reference the information collected with others it already has, used to collect information in aggregate form about the number of users and how they visit the website itself;
- Browsing or session Cookies, the disabling of which may affect the use of services accessible by login;
- Function Cookies, which allow the user to browse according to a set of selected criteria (e.g., language) in order to improve the service rendered to the user.
Conversely, for “Profiling Cookies”, i.e., those aimed at identifying the user’s preferences in order to improve and personalize their browsing experience and/or show them marketing communications consistent with the preferences expressed while browsing, as well as for third-party statistical or analytical Cookies, if tools are not adopted to reduce the identifying power of the Cookies and the third party cross-references the information collected with others it already has, prior user consent is required.
