The browsing data and the ones supplied by the user
The browsing data
During your surfing, our systems normally acquire some data whose transmission is implicit in the use of web communication protocols or is necessary for a better management and data flow optimisation, such as, by way of example, the visited pages.
These data may be used to obtain anonymous statistics on the use of the website or to check its correct functioning. These data are stored for the time technically necessary to these aims. Moreover, the information may be used to ascertain responsibility in case of IT crime suffered by our website.
The data voluntarily supplied by the user and those used for the newsletter mailing list
The people who are surfing the website may send Ecopneus their personal information to have access to certain services/functionalities or to send requests (e.g.: registration to the sections of the website www.ecopneus.it for every single operator’s category), to ask to be re-contacted or to be added to the newsletter mailing list. Examples of information that may be given are: the user’s own email address, their personal and fiscal information, personal data inferable from the communication etc.
These data will be dealt with by Ecopneus only to allow access to services/functionalities involved and to handle requests, their subsequent execution and the activation of all eventual contractual issues. This will be done for the time technically necessary to carry out all necessary activities. The newsletter subscriptions are stored until the cancellation from the mailing list is requested.
The data handing described here-above is necessary to execute the requests. The data conferral is free; however, without it, Ecopneus will not be able to go ahead with the registrations, provide services or follow-up users’ requests. In any case, without prejudice of the rights of the person involved described at the bottom of the information document, it is possible to modify or delete the subscription to the mailing list at any time, without prejudice to the data handling carried out until that moment.
The newsletter mailing list includes also some email addresses deriving from Ecopneus’ institutional and commercial/professional contacts or that may be obtained from public lists and websites. This shall always be done coherently with the aim of the same. In these cases, the data handling depends on the legitimate interest of Ecopneus to update their contractual counterparts, the institutionally competent interlocutors, and about the events of the sector of common interest. In any case, all communication will be carried out with non-invasive modalities, via email. The addressees have the right to oppose to this communication, to the exception of what has already been dealt with.
Whenever the data as per this section were gathered for other aims, these will be described in specific information documents and, when necessary, the authorisation to data handling will be requested.
Use of Cookies
Typology and aim of cookies on Ecopneus’ website
Cookies are used by websites to recognise the users within a working session. As stated by the Privacy Guarantor’s provisions, cookies are “small text files” (composed of letters and numbers). “The websites visited by a user send cookies to their terminal (usually to the browser), where they are memorized. They are then sent back to the same websites when the user browses them again.”
Ecopneus’ website uses cookies to allow its browsing and for using its related services. Indeed, precisely for this reason, cookies are considered merely “technical” and they do not require the user’s consent.
The so-called “session cookies” are not permanently memorised on the user’s computer and they disappear upon closing the browser. Their use is strictly linked to the transmission of session identification data (which are server-generated random numbers) and they are necessary to allow safe and efficient website browsing. Indeed, in many case, they simplify it. They allow to type in the password less frequently during the same authenticated browsing session of Ecopneus’ pages. They anonymously identify the computer IP address and they do not store personal information – such as, by way of example, the computer name or the user ID, so the same user will be able to accept the cookies or not.
Moreover, some of our web pages and of our html email messages contain some “pixel tags”, “web beacons” or other technologies (overall known as “pixel tags”) that allow to keep track of the activities of the users that visit our website as well as the ones of the addressees of our email communication. We do not use pixel tags that directly store your name, email address and other personal information. To watch the videos present on the pages of our website, only the cookies released by Adobe Flash Player are used. These are anonymous and of short duration.
The website may use even longer-lasting or permanent cookies. These allow, for example, the access to the area to the registered users without logging in every time. They also allow to remember some users’ actions (for example: the filling in of a form) when one goes back to the previous page of a session.
In order to get to know how our visitors use our website, we use the services offered by Google and Google Analitycs to collect, aggregate, and analyse the data, so that we are able to better understand the use modalities of our Website. These cookies have limited duration. The collected information is used by Ecopneus in aggregated and anonymous form, for example, to monitor and analyse the use of the website, improve its functionality and more accurately choose its contents and graphics, in order to better satisfy the users’ needs.
Ecopneus’ website, instead, does not use cookies for users’ profiling.
Third parties’ cookies
The pages of Ecopneus’ website may contain the plug-ins of the most famous social networks (e.g.: Youtube, Facebook, Twitter, Google +1) and of other services managed by involved third parties (e.g.: Google Maps and ISSUU viewer). Such plug-ins may, for example, correspond to Facebook’s “Like” button or Twitter’s “Retweet” button or to a window for playing a YouTube video. By accessing one or more of our web pages equipped with a similar plug-in, the internet browser links directly to the third parties’ server and a plug-in is visualised on the screen thanks to the browser connection. The plug-in may communicate to third parties’ servers what pages the user has seen. If a social network user visits our web pages while he/she is connected to his/her account, such information may be associated to the account. Even in the case the plug-in functions were used (for example, by clicking on the “I like” button), the information will be associated to the account.
Here below we report the links to have information about these third parties’ privacy policies.
The non-acceptance of cookies and their disablement

There are several ways of managing cookies. The user may make reference to the instruction manual or to the Assist screen of his/her browser to find out how to handle or modify the settings of his/her browser.

For what concerns the Analytics cookies, Google supplies also a free add on for the opt-out, which can be installed on the main browsers (see. https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout).
Technical cookies, there included the ones of Google Analytics, are necessary to facilitate the functioning of the site and they do not require your specific approval, notwithstanding the afore-mentioned ways to refuse the use of cookies which, in any case, do not affect all previous data handling.
If you decided to prevent the installation of cookies, this may imply the impossibility of supplying the requested services or a not-so-pleasant browsing experience, for example, for having to type in login and password more often.
Modalities, aims and fundamentals of data handling and storage time
