Like almost all websites, our site also uses some cookies. Cookies are small text files that websites visited by the user (but also other sites or web servers) send and store on their computer (or mobile device), and which are then sent back (to the same sites or web servers) upon subsequent visits in order to provide information about the user.

Cookies have become fundamental tools as they allow modern websites to function at their best, enabling maximum personalization, interaction, and smooth navigation. Cookies can also be used to track user browsing to send personalized advertising messages.

The following classification of cookies can be provided based on certain characteristics:

• LIFESPAN: session cookies expire when the browser is closed, while persistent cookies remain until a set expiry date, even for years;

9. THIRD-PARTY SERVICES

To provide certain functionalities, Maschio Gaspardo uses or interacts with third-party services. An example is the presence of “social plugins” or third-party map integration. These are parts of the visited page generated directly by the provider and integrated into the host website’s page (for example, using iframes or widgets generated by the third-party provider). The most common use of social plugins is to share content on social networks, while map plugins allow the location of the activity according to predefined geographic coordinates. Possible third-party content integrations and interactions with the main site vary and will involve different processing purposes that can be identified on a case-by-case basis.

The presence of these services results in the collection of cookies from and to all sites managed by third parties. The management of information collected by “third parties” is governed by their respective policies, which users are encouraged to consult. To ensure greater transparency and convenience, the web addresses of the relevant privacy policies and cookie management instructions (where available) are provided below:
