Privacy notice
Cookies policy
This page describes how cookies are handled on the websites of Consortium GARR (second- and third-level domains) for the protection of personal data accessible online.
What are cookies?
Cookies are unique identifiers, generally made up of small strings of text or code. As a rule, cookies are stored on your device or in your browser and send certain information to the party that set the cookie. When we talk about cookies, we are in fact referring to a broader range of technologies than cookies alone, including web beacons, clear GIFs, pixels and other similar technologies. When we talk about first-party cookies, we mean cookies set by Consortium GARR. When we talk about third-party cookies, we mean cookies set by third parties unrelated to Consortium GARR.
How are cookies used?
Cookies are used to better understand how applications and websites work and to optimise online and mobile experiences. They do this by allowing the party that sets the cookie to analyse the performance of a website or mobile app, to identify certain users anonymously and remember their preferences, to better understand whether a computer or device (and probably its user) has already visited a website, and to provide personalised information.
How can I avoid cookies?
You can avoid certain cookies by configuring your browser settings or by directly opting out of the party that manages and controls the cookies. Check your browser settings for more detailed information. Disabling cookies may prevent some features of this site from working properly.
For detailed information on the procedure, please consult your browser's help. For an overview of the most common browsers, you can visit:
www.cookiepedia.co.uk or
www.aboutcookies.org
Advertising companies also allow you to opt out of targeted ads, if you wish. This does not prevent cookies from being set, but it stops the use and collection of certain data by those companies. For more information and opt-out options, visit www.youronlinechoices.eu
