This website, owned by Save the Children Italia ETS, data controller pursuant to and for the purposes of Article 4(7) of Regulation (EU) 2016/679 on the protection of natural persons with regard to the processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data (“GDPR”), uses cookies and similar technologies. This information explains how cookies are used and how they can be controlled by the user.
Use of this website (and of any other site managed by us) means that the user accepts the use of cookies (and similar technologies) in accordance with this notice. In particular, the user accepts the use of analytics, measurement and functionality cookies for the purposes described below.
If the user does not wish to accept the use of cookies for analytics and measurement purposes, they can change their browser settings as described in the section “How to control or delete cookies”.
Cookies are pieces of information saved on the hard disk of the user’s device and sent by the user’s browser to a web server, relating to use of the network. As a result, they make it possible to know the services, the sites visited and the options that have been expressed while browsing online. In other words, cookies are small files, containing letters and numbers, that are downloaded to the user’s computer or mobile device when visiting a website. Cookies are then sent back to the original site on each subsequent visit, or to another website that recognises these cookies. Cookies are useful because they allow a website to recognise the user’s device.
This information is therefore not provided spontaneously and directly, but leaves a trace of the user’s browsing on the network.
Cookies perform different functions and allow users to move between pages efficiently, remembering the user’s preferences and, more generally, improving their experience. They can also help ensure that the advertising shown while browsing is of interest to the user and that marketing activities are in line with their preferences, avoiding unwelcome promotional initiatives or ones that do not match the user’s needs.
While browsing a site, the user may also receive on their device cookies sent by other sites or web servers (so-called “third parties”), on which some elements (e.g. images, maps, sounds, specific links to pages of other domains) present on the site being visited may reside. In this respect there can therefore be:
First-party cookies, sent directly by this site to the user’s device
Third-party cookies, coming from a third party but sent on our behalf. This site uses third-party cookies to help analyse our website and its use (as described below).
Depending on the purpose for which they are used, cookies can be distinguished as:
Technical cookies: used to allow the transmission of a communication over an electronic communications network or to provide a service expressly requested by the user. They are not used for other purposes. Within the category of technical cookies, whose use does not require the user’s consent, we distinguish:
Navigation or session cookies: ensure normal browsing and use of the website (e.g. to log in and access restricted areas). The use of these cookies (which are not stored persistently on the user’s device and are automatically deleted when the browser is closed) is strictly limited to the transmission of session identifiers (made up of random numbers generated by the server) necessary to allow safe and efficient exploration of the site.
Analytics cookies: if they are used only to collect aggregate information on the number of users who visit the site and how they visit it
Functionality cookies: allow the user to browse according to a set of selected criteria (e.g. language or services subscribed to) in order to improve the service provided to the user.
Profiling cookies: aimed at creating profiles of the user and used to send targeted promotional messages based on the preferences shown while browsing online. These cookies can be used for such purposes only with the user’s consent.
The following table summarises how this site and third parties use cookies. These uses include the use of cookies to:
know the total number of visitors on an ongoing basis, as well as the types of browser (e.g. Firefox, Safari or Internet Explorer) and operating system (e.g. Windows or Macintosh) used;
monitor the performance of the site, including how visitors use it, and improve its functionality;
personalise and improve the online user experience;
This site does not include user profiling cookies.
The types of cookies used can be classified into one of the categories set out in the following table, which allows the user to give their consent or change it (if previously given) to accept the various types of cookies:
Essential website cookies (session and navigation)
These cookies are essential for proper navigation and for using the site’s functions. These cookies do not collect personal information that can be used for marketing purposes, nor do they store the sites visited. The use of these cookies, which are not stored persistently on the user’s device and are automatically deleted when the browser is closed, is strictly limited to the transmission of session identifiers necessary to allow safe and efficient exploration of the site. This category of cookies cannot be disabled.
(first-party cookies)
Third-party analytics cookies
These cookies are used exclusively to collect statistical information on how visitors use the site, for example the number of visitors, the pages visited and the ways in which they interact with the content. We use this information to compile reports and to improve the usability, functionality and content of the site.
Google Analytics
https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en
As with many websites, we use technologies similar to cookies, including local shared objects (also known as “flash cookies”), browser history analysis, browser fingerprinting and pixel tags (also known as “web beacons”). These technologies give us and our suppliers information on how the site and its content are used by visitors, and allow us to identify whether the computer or device has visited our or other sites in the past.
Our servers automatically collect the user’s IP address; in this way, we can associate that address with the user’s domain name or that of their Internet Service Provider. We may also collect some “clickstream data” relating to use of the site. Clickstream data includes, for example, information about the user’s computer or device, browser and operating system and their settings, the referring page, the pages and content viewed or clicked during the visit as well as the timing and manner of these operations, items downloaded, the site visited immediately after ours, and any search term entered on our site or on a redirecting site.
Users have the right to choose whether or not to accept cookies. Some information on how to exercise this right follows. However, please note that by choosing to refuse cookies, the user may not be able to use all the functions of the site and, if they have consented to profiling on other occasions, the communications they receive may be of little relevance to their interests. Please also note that if you choose to manage your cookie preferences, our cookie management tool will still set a technical cookie on your device so that we can carry out the user’s preferences. Deleting or removing cookies from the user’s device also removes the cookie relating to preferences; these choices will therefore have to be made again.
Cookies can be blocked using the selection links in the table above. Alternatively, you can change your browser settings so that cookies cannot be stored on your device. To do this, follow the instructions provided by your browser (these are usually found in the “Help”, “Tools” or “Edit” menus). Disabling a cookie or a category of cookies does not delete them from the browser. This operation must therefore be carried out directly in the browser.
If you want to delete, disable or restore the cookies present on your computer, you can use the cookie configuration pages made available by any third-party content providers, or the options of your browser.
Below is a list of instructions for managing cookies for the most common browsers:
Internet Explorer - http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/internet-explorer/delete-manage-cookies#ie=ie-11
If you use a mobile device, refer to its instruction manual to find out how to manage cookies.
For more information about cookies, including how to see which ones have been set on your device and how to manage and delete them, visit www.allaboutcookies.org.
If the user has disabled one or more cookies, we will still be able to use the information collected before that disabling was carried out through the preferences. However, from that moment on, we will stop using the disabled cookies to collect further information.
