This website collects some personal information from its visitors.

Introduction

Simone Giordano, with registered office at Via Michelangelo Buonarroti, 64 - 20851 - Lissone (MB) (hereinafter referred to as "Simone Giordano"), is fully committed to protecting the online privacy of its users.
This document has been drafted in accordance with Article 13 of EU Regulation 2016/679 (hereinafter the "Regulation") to inform you about our privacy policy, allowing you to understand how your personal data is processed when you use our website (hereinafter the “Site”) and to give informed and explicit consent to the processing of your personal data.

All information and data you provide or that is otherwise acquired when using services such as requesting information, technical assistance, promotional communications, or subscribing to commercial newsletters or other actions such as accessing the Site’s restricted area will be processed in compliance with the Regulation and the confidentiality obligations that guide Simone Giordano’s operations.

All data processing activities performed by Simone Giordano with regard to users of the website are based on the principles of lawfulness, fairness, transparency, purpose and storage limitation, data minimization, accuracy, integrity, and confidentiality, as required by the Regulation.

​

Definition of Personal Data

According to Article 4 of the GDPR, “personal data” means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (“data subject”). An identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier, or one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural, or social identity of that person.

All information collected while browsing the Site will be used solely for the purposes described in this document. During navigation, “Company Name” will process data acquired through user activities on the Site or those collected through the services offered by the Site itself. The information processed may be entered manually by the User, collected automatically, or obtained via third parties.

The User has the right to rectify their personal data at any time, as well as to block, revoke, or object to its processing.

​

Types of Data Processed – Contact Data

These are personal data capable of identifying the User through information such as: company name and VAT number, first and last name, tax code, address, email address, fax number, website, date of birth, telephone or mobile number for individuals, as well as information provided during registration and unique IDs used by advertising services (e.g., Google Ads).

Data Collected During Website Navigation

The IT systems and software procedures used to ensure the proper functioning of this Site acquire certain personal data, which are processed automatically as part of the standard internet communication protocols.

Although the data collected during navigation are not gathered to be associated with identified individuals, they could, through processing and association with data held by third parties, allow users to be identified.

​

List of Navigation Data

  • IP addresses or domain names of the computers used by users connecting to the Site

  • URI (Uniform Resource Identifier) addresses of the requested resources

  • Time of the request

  • Method used to submit the request to the server

  • Numeric code indicating the response status from the server (successful, error, etc.)

  • Size of the file received in response

  • Other parameters related to the user's operating system

​

All these data are used solely for the purpose of obtaining anonymous statistical information about the use of the Site, monitoring its correct functioning, and identifying potential anomalies and/or misuse. The data collected for these purposes are deleted immediately after processing.

Such data may also be used to ascertain responsibility in the event of hypothetical computer crimes against the Site or third parties.

Some sections and features of the Site intended for acquiring the User’s personal data may require the disclosure of data that fall under Article 9 of the Regulation, namely “[…] data revealing racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious or philosophical beliefs, or trade union membership, as well as genetic data, biometric data for the purpose of uniquely identifying a natural person, data concerning health or a person’s sex life or sexual orientation.”

The "Company Name" advises users not to publish such data unless strictly necessary.
In any case, the voluntary publication of such sensitive data by the User, even in the absence of explicit consent, releases Simone Giordano from any liability. In such cases, the processing is considered authorized due to the User’s explicit and informed decision to make those data public, in accordance with Article 9(1)(e) of the Regulation.

​

Data Voluntarily Provided by the User

If the User, when using certain features of the Site, provides “Company Name” with personal data relating to third parties, the User assumes the role of independent data controller, with all the legal obligations and responsibilities that this entails.

This means that the User shall fully indemnify Simone Giordano against any claims, demands for compensation, or disputes brought by third parties whose personal data have been processed in violation of applicable data protection regulations, as a result of the use of the Site's features by the User.

​

Cookies – General Premises and Definition

Cookies are files (metadata) stored on the devices used by users to browse the Site. These files are sent by the Site and saved on the user’s computer or mobile device in order to be sent back to the Site upon a future visit.

Cookies allow the Site to remember the user’s actions and preferences (such as login data, selected language, font size, and other display settings), avoiding the need to re-enter them every time the user returns to the Site.

Once installed on the user’s device, cookies perform the following tasks:

  • IT authentication

  • Session tracking on the Site

  • Storage of user activity-related information

  • Tracking user navigation within the Site for statistical and/or advertising purposes

While browsing, users may also receive cookies from websites other than the one they are visiting. These are known as “third-party cookies.”

There are different types of cookies, each with its own function:

  • Persistent cookies remain on the user's device until a set expiration date

  • Session cookies are deleted when the browser is closed

  • Profiling cookies are used to create user profiles to display advertisements aligned with their preferences

Temporary cookies are used to ensure secure and efficient navigation and to identify the user in order to properly deliver the requested services.

For this type of cookie, the user’s prior consent is required.

Current Italian legislation does not always require the explicit consent of the user for the use of cookies by the website owner. For example, “technical cookies” do not require consent, as they are essential for the proper functioning of the Site and are used solely to deliver a service explicitly requested by the user.

Technical cookies include:

  • Navigation or session cookies, required for user authentication

  • Analytics cookies, used directly by the site operator to collect aggregated information on the number of users and how they navigate the site

  • Functionality cookies, which allow the user to browse according to selected criteria (e.g., language)

​

Types of Cookies Used by the Site

The Site uses the following types of cookies:

  • Technical navigation or session cookies: These are strictly necessary for the functioning of the Site or to allow the User to access requested content and services.
    Note: If these technical and/or functionality cookies are disabled, the Site may not function correctly, and the User may be required to manually adjust or enter certain information or preferences every time they visit.

  • Functionality cookies: These are used to activate specific Site functionalities and a set of selected criteria (e.g., language) in order to improve the service provided.

  • Non-technical cookies: These are used to identify the User and track their activities on the Site. The purpose is to enable the display of relevant and targeted advertisements selected by third parties (e.g., publishers and advertisers) based on the User’s preferences.

  • Third-party cookies: These are cookies from websites or web servers other than that of Simone Giordano, used for purposes determined by those third parties.
    These third parties, listed below with links to their privacy policies, are the data controllers of the data collected through the cookies they provide and are solely responsible for their use.
    Users should refer to the respective privacy policies, notices, and consent forms of these third parties, as outlined by the “Simplified Arrangements for Providing Information and Obtaining Consent for the Use of Cookies” issued on May 8, 2014, and the “Guidelines on Cookies and Other Tracking Tools” of June 10, 2021.

Simone Giordano makes every effort to track cookies on this Site.

​

  • or the pursuit of a legitimate interest (cf. Article 6(1)(a), (b), (f) of the GDPR).
