2. The website micosspa.it uses cookies to make your browsing experience easier and more intuitive. Cookies are small text files used to store information about the user, their preferences, or the device used to access the Internet (computer, tablet, or mobile phone). They are mainly used to tailor the website’s functionality to the user’s expectations, providing a more personalised browsing experience and remembering previous choices.

3. A cookie is a small set of data transferred to your browser from a web server and can only be read by the server that issued it. It is not executable code and does not transmit viruses.

4. Cookies do not record any personal information, and any identifiable data will not be stored. You can choose to block some or all cookies; however, this may affect your use of the website and its services. To continue browsing without changing your cookie settings, simply continue navigating the site.

Cookies Used on the Site
1. Technical Cookies
2. Numerous technologies are used to store information on a user’s device, which is then collected by websites. The most common and widely used of these are HTML cookies. These are essential for navigation and to facilitate user access to and interaction with the site. They are necessary for transmitting communications over electronic networks or for the provider to deliver the requested service.
3.  Settings to manage or disable cookies may vary depending on the web browser used. Users can manage, disable, or delete cookies by adjusting their browser settings, as described in paragraph 5. Please note that disabling cookies may slow down or prevent access to certain parts of the site.

Under these conditions, analytics cookies follow the same rules regarding information and consent as technical cookies.
6. From a duration perspective, cookies can be either session cookies or persistent cookies. The first ones are automatically deleted at the end of a browsing session. They identify the user and prevent the need to log in on every page. The latter remain active on the device until they expire or are deleted by the user.
7. Session cookies may also be installed to allow access and continuity within a reserved area of the portal for authenticated users. These cookies are not stored permanently and exist only for the duration of the browsing session, disappearing when the browser is closed. Their use is strictly limited to transmitting session identifiers—random numbers generated by the server—necessary for secure and efficient navigation of the site.

USER RIGHTS

Article 13, paragraph 2 of EU Regulation 679/2016 outlines the rights of the user.
The website https://www.micosspa.it/ therefore informs users of the existence of:

1. The right of the data subject to request from the data controller, access to their personal data (Art. 15 European Union regulation), the updating and integration of such data (Art. 7, paragraph 3, letter a, Legislative Decree 196/2003), rectification (Art. 16 European Union regulation), restriction of processing (Art. 18 European Union regulation), or to object, on legitimate grounds, to their processing (Art. 21 European Union regulation), as well as the right to data portability (Art. 20 European Union regulation).

2. The right to request the erasure (Art. 17 European Union regulation), anonymization, or blocking of data processed in violation of the law, including data whose retention is unnecessary for the purposes for which they were collected or subsequently processed (Art. 7, paragraph 3, letter b, Legislative Decree 196/2003).

3. The right to obtain confirmation that any operations concerning the updating, rectification, integration, erasure, blocking, or anonymization of data have been communicated to those to whom the data were disclosed or distributed, except in cases where such an obligation proves impossible or requires means clearly disproportionate to the protected right (Art. 7, paragraph 3, letter c, Legislative Decree 196/2003).

Requests may be submitted to the Data Controller by sending an email to: info@micosspa.it.

If the processing is based on Art. 6(1)(a) – explicit consent – or Art. 9(2)(a) – explicit consent for the use of genetic, biometric, or health-related data, or data revealing religious or philosophical beliefs, trade union membership, racial or ethnic origin, or political opinions – the user has the right to withdraw consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal.

Likewise, in the event of a violation of the applicable regulations, the user has the right to lodge a complaint with the Data Controller as well as with the Italian Data Protection Authority (Garante per la Protezione dei Dati Personali), which supervises data protection compliance in Italy.

For a more detailed examination of these rights, please refer to Articles 15 and following of EU Regulation 679/2016 and Article 7 of Legislative Decree 196/2003.

DATA TRANSFER TO NON-EU COUNTRIES
This website may share some of the collected data with services located outside the European Union, specifically with Google, Facebook, and Microsoft (LinkedIn) through social plugins and Google Analytics. Such transfers are authorized and strictly regulated under Article 45, paragraph 1, of EU Regulation 679/2016 (GDPR), so no additional consent is required. The aforementioned companies ensure compliance with the Privacy Shield framework.

Data will never be transferred to third countries that do not meet the requirements set out in Articles 45 and following of EU Regulation 679/2016.
