n accordance with the obligations arising from national (Legislative Decree No. 196 of June 30, 2003, Code for the Protection of Personal Data) and Community legislation (European Regulation for the Protection of Personal Data No. 679/2016, GDPR) and subsequent amendments, CENTRO VELICO PUNTA ALA A.S.D., P.I. – C.F. 01356920536, based in loc. Punta Ala – c/o PuntAla Camp & Resort Loc.

What are cookies and what are they used for?

Cookies are small text files that the site you visit sends directly to your terminal (usually to your browser), where they are stored and then transmitted back to the same site on the same user’s next visit (so-called first-party own cookies). In the course of browsing a site, the user may also receive cookies from different sites or web servers on his/her terminal (so-called third-party cookies); this happens because on the visited website there may be elements such as, for example, images, maps, sounds, specific links to web pages of other domains residing on servers other than the one on which the requested page is located. In other words, they are those cookies that are set by a website other than the one you are currently visiting. A cookie cannot retrieve any other data from the user’s hard drive or transmit computer viruses or acquire email addresses. Each cookie is unique to the user’s web browser. Some of the functions of cookies may be delegated to other technologies. In this document the term ‘cookies’ is intended to refer both to cookies, properly so called, and to all similar technologies. Cookies have a lifetime dictated by the expiration date (or a specific action such as closing the browser) set at the time of installation. Cookies can be temporary or session cookies: they are used to store temporary information, allow you to link actions performed during a specific session, and are removed from your computer when you close your browser; permanent: they are used to store information, such as your login name and password, so that you do not have to type them in again each time you visit a specific site. These remain stored on the computer even after closing the browser. Cookies are used for several functions. Some are necessary to allow you to browse the Site and take advantage of its features (so-called technical cookies). Si tratta sempre di cookie di prima parte, in quanto sono veicolati direttamente dal Centro Velico sul Sito. Others are used to obtain statistical information, in aggregate or otherwise, about the number of users accessing the Site and how the Site is used (so-called analytical cookies). Finally, others are used to track a consumer profile of you and display advertisements on the Site that may be of interest to you, as they are consistent with your tastes and consumption habits (so-called profiling cookies).

To learn about the different categories of cookies installed on this Site in more detail, continue reading this policy, find out how they work and what they are used for, and freely choose whether to consent to their use or prevent them.

What cookies does the Sailing Center use and for what purposes?

Technical cookies

Technical cookies are used on the Site for the sole purpose of making it possible for you to navigate the Site and allow you to use its features. Some technical cookies are essential to provide you with an optimal browsing experience or to allow you to authenticate yourself on the Site, for example to make a purchase on the Site or enter your private area (so-called navigation cookies). Browsing cookies are normally session cookies and, therefore, are automatically deactivated once the browsing browser is closed.

Other technical cookies are useful to allow you to store some of your preferences (for example, language or country of origin) without having to reset them on subsequent visits (so-called functionality cookies). For this reason, functionality cookies are often persistent cookies, in that they remain stored on your computer even after you close your browsing browser, until the expiration date for them or until you have decided to delete them.

The following first-party technical cookies are currently used on the Site:

As per current privacy regulations, your prior consent is not required for the installation of such cookies. You are free to block the installation of technical cookies by changing your browser settings (read section C to find out how to do this). Please consider, however, that by blocking the installation of technical cookies, or subsequently deleting them, your ability to access the Site, to use all or part of it, to enable or disable certain features, or to receive certain services may be affected in whole or in part.

Analytical cookies

Analytical cookies are used on the Site to collect statistical information, in aggregate form, about the number of users accessing the Site and how they visit the Site.

Profiling cookies

Profiling cookies are aimed at creating profiles related to the user during the process of ordering services and are used to calculate discounts and manage promotions that may be applicable to your account and in order to send advertising messages in line with the preferences expressed by the same in the context of surfing the web. As required by current privacy regulations, your prior consent is required for the installation of such cookies. For this reason, when you access particular sections of the Site that install this type of cookie, a special banner is displayed prominently, informing you that (i) profiling cookies are used on that section of the Site and that (ii) by closing the banner, scrolling down the page, or clicking any element of the page outside the banner, you consent to the use of cookies. Should you consent to the installation of cookies in this manner, we will keep track of your consent through an appropriate technical cookie. In this way, we will avoid having you see the cookie banner on your subsequent visits to the above sections of the Site. Please note that if you were to delete this technical cookie from your browser in the manner described in paragraph C below, the record of your consent would be lost and, therefore, during your next visit to such sections of the Site, the cookie banner will be displayed again. You are, of course, free to block the installation of profiling cookies at any time, without your ability to visit the site and enjoy its contents being impaired in any way. If you decide to turn off behavioral advertising, it does not mean that you will no longer receive advertising on the Site. However, the banners you view on the Site may not reflect your interests or preferences on the browser you are currently using. Our profiling cookies are installed directly by the Company when you visit our Site. These cookies are permanent and have a maximum lifetime of 1 month.

Third-party cookies

The Sailing Center in order to collect information about the use of the Site by users (number of visitors, pages visited, time spent on the site, etc.) uses third-party analytical cookies on the Site, which are installed by third parties, acting as independent data controllers. Tools that reduce the identifying power and tools to not cross-reference the collected information with other information that the third-party platform already knows are used to use such cookies. The Sailing Center uses third-party profiling cookies on the Site, which are installed by third parties acting as independent data controllers. As required by current privacy regulations, the use of the above cookies requires your consent. The Site has no direct control over the individual cookies installed by third parties (so-called third-party cookies) and cannot control them (can neither directly install nor delete them). You can still manage these cookies through your browser settings (follow the instructions below), or the sites listed in the “information and consent” section.

COOKIE CATEGORY AND FUNCTION

Third-party profiling cookies.

Google may also transfer this information to third parties where required by law or where such third parties process this information on Google’s behalf. Google will not associate the Ip address with any other data held by Google. The data transmitted to Google is stored at Google’s servers in the United States.
