COOKIE POLICY
(Updated to September 20th, 2018)
- What are cookies?
Cookies are the most famous piece of information on the web. They are small text files that websites send to the user’s terminal (e.g., all devices with an IP such as computers, tablets, smartphones), where they are stored before being sent back to the same websites on the next visit. They are very useful both for performing authentications (and speeding them up) and for monitoring sessions and storing some technical parts of the terminal-remote exchange that would otherwise be impossible. Therefore, through cookies it is possible to store and retrieve information about user’s browsing habits and/or on the mobile device used to access the website, generally anonymously.
These small files are used by www.mazzoneturismo.com for the following purposes:
- to generate access statistics in aggregate and anonymous form of attendance and return to the site.
- to keep the browsing session active.
Therefore, during visits to the site some information on the user’s hard disk will be recorded.
