Cookie Policy

Bottesini Association, with its registered office in Via Vimercati 11 - Crema - Italy, reachable at segreteria@associazionebottesini.com, as the Data Controller, provides you with the following information regarding the use of cookies on our website: iscrizioni.associazionebottesini.com.

General Information About Cookies

Cookies are small text strings that our website sends to the user’s device, where they are stored to be sent back to the same site during subsequent visits.
Cookies can be first-party (set directly by us) or third-party (set by a domain different from the website’s domain). Cookies enable the site to recognize the user’s device and allow for navigation between pages, saving preferences, and improving the user’s browsing experience. In certain cases, some types of cookies can also ensure that the advertisements shown online are more relevant to the user or match their interests.

Some operations cannot be carried out without the use of cookies, which, in some cases, are technically necessary for the site to function.

There are various types of cookies, depending on their characteristics and purposes, and they may remain on users’ devices for different periods:

1. Session cookies, which are automatically deleted when the browser is closed.

2. Persistent cookies, which remain on the device until a predetermined expiration date.

Under current Italian regulations, user consent is not always required for the use of cookies. Specifically, consent is not required for "technical cookies", which are used solely to transmit communication over an electronic communications network or are strictly necessary to provide a service explicitly requested by the user. In other words, these are indispensable cookies for the website’s functioning or for performing user-requested activities.

Among technical cookies, which do not require explicit consent, the Italian Data Protection Authority (see the June 10, 2021 provision "Cookie and other tracking tools guidelines") includes:

  • Browsing or session cookies (used for authentication).
  • Functionality cookies, which allow navigation based on selected criteria (e.g., language) to improve the service. These can be set by us or third-party providers whose services have been added to our pages.
  • Analytics cookies, provided they are used directly by the site manager to collect aggregated information about the number of users and how they visit the site.

For profiling cookies, which aim to create user profiles and are used to send advertisements aligned with user preferences during web browsing, prior user consent is required. These cookies may be set via our website by advertising partners and used to build a profile of your interests to show relevant ads on other websites.
