Cookie management
Our Cookie Policy
This policy aims to explain how this website uses cookies in order to provide clear and relevant information to enable users to make their own choices about what happens when they access the site. The policy uses the term ‘cookies’ to refer to cookies and similar technologies covered by law (such as Local Shared Objects – commonly referred to as ‘flash cookies’, web beacons or bugs, including clear gifs).
Information collected relating to data that could allow users to be defined by processing with the association of data from third parties (such as IP address numbers). This data is only used for statistical purposes.
This document is an integral and substantive part of the Privacy Policy and the information provided therein also pursuant to Articles 13 and 14 of Regulation (EU) 2016/679 and the relevant Swiss regulations (DPA of 25 September 2020).
You are therefore invited to read this document.
Applicable law
The subject of cookies and other forms of online tracking is regulated in the European Union by European Directive 2002/58 /EC – subsequently amended by Directive 2009/136 /EC and transposed into the national laws of the European Union member states – which requires informing the user and obtaining consent for the use of cookies and similar technologies.
What is a cookie
A cookie is a small text file, usually of letters and numbers, downloaded to the user’s device when the user accesses a website. Cookies are then sent back to the originating site on each subsequent visit.
This information may relate to the user, their preferences or the device used to access the site (computer, tablet or mobile phone) and is mainly used to adapt the operation of the site to the user’s expectations or to collect data for statistical purposes.
The use of cookies and similar technologies has long been commonplace as cookies are in the provision of many online services. The use of these technologies is not, therefore, prohibited by law but requires that the user be informed about cookies and be given the option of accepting them or not.
Different types of cookies
Cookies are classified in different ways depending on the profile being considered. With regard to the duration of cookies, a distinction is made between session and persistent cookies.
Session cookies
Cookies can expire at the end of a browser session (i.e. from when a user opens the browser window until the user exits the browser); they allow websites to link a user’s actions during a browser session. They can be used for a variety of purposes, such as remembering what a user has put in their shopping cart while browsing a site. They could also be used for security when a user logs into internet banking or to facilitate the use of webmail. These session cookies expire after only one browser session.
The use of so-called session cookies (which are not stored persistently on the user’s computer and are automatically deleted as soon as the browser is closed) is limited to the transmission of data (consisting of server-generated random numbers) that identify the specific session and are necessary to enable secure and efficient browsing. The so-called session cookies used on this site avoid the use of other computer techniques useful for browsing the user’s network.
Persistent cookies
Cookies can be kept longer than a session; they are stored on the user’s device between browser sessions and allow the user’s actions on a site to be remembered. Persistent cookies can be used for a variety of purposes, including remembering users’ preferences and choices when using a site (or in some cases across different websites).
First’ and ‘third party’ cookies
With reference to the party that sets the cookie, a distinction is made between first-party and third-party cookies. Whether a cookie is a ‘first’ or ‘third party’ cookie is related to the website or domain that uses that particular cookie. First party’ cookies, in essence, are cookies set by the same website visited by the user – i.e. the website displayed in the URL window: in our case, cookies set by the Owner’s website. Third-party” cookies are cookies that are set by a domain other than the one visited by the user: i.e. cookies that are set by websites other than this Owner’s site. If a user visits a website (such as this one) and a third company sets a cookie through this website, this specific cookie is a “third party” cookie.
Technical cookie
Technical cookies are necessary for communication over the electronic network and are normally installed directly by the Owner or operator of the website; they serve for the proper functioning of the site or to improve the service rendered to the user. Users’ consent is not required for the installation of such cookies, while the obligation to inform users of their presence remains.
Profiling cookies
Profiling cookies are designed to create profiles of the user and are used to send advertising messages in line with the preferences expressed by the user while browsing the web. For profiling cookies, the user must be informed of their presence and consent to their use.
With regard to this site, only Google Analytics cookies are used.
Targeting cookies
These cookies derive from third-party services to provide advertising agencies with information about the user’s visit to the site so that the user can see useful messages about their interests. Similarly, these cookies allow you to connect to social networks which also use information about your visit to our site to display advertisements to you.
Data Controller
SR SPECIAL EVENTS CONSULTING is identified in the Privacy Policy as the Data Controller of – and liable for – only its own cookies, i.e. “first party” cookies; otherwise, the cookies of “third parties” fall under the ownership of the respective companies.
Consent for cookies
This site implements several techniques for collecting user consent: one way is to check the specific box below to indicate the use of cookies.
Browser settings are another means of granting consent or, conversely, rejecting cookies; you can set your browser to warn you of the presence of cookies, you can decide whether to accept cookies or not. It is also possible to automatically reject all cookies by activating the appropriate option in the browser.
Each browser highlights instructions for this purpose. If you wish to disable the use of cookies, you can change the configuration of your browser to block them. For detailed information on the appropriate procedure you should consult the help of your browser. You should be aware that if you disable all cookies, your use of the site and the services offered may be impaired in whole or in part.
