What are cookies?

The bluenauta.it website uses cookies. As explained by the Italian Data Protection Authority in the FAQs of December 2012, which can be found at www.garanteprivacy.it, cookies are “small text strings” – formed of letters and numbers – “that the websites visited by the user send to his/her terminal (usually the browser), where they are stored before being re-transmitted to the same sites at the user’s subsequent visit”. Cookies are used to simplify the analysis of web traffic or to signal when a specific website or part thereof is visited, to distinguish between visitors in order to provide personalised content, and to help administrators improve the site and browser experience of its users.
We cannot use cookies to access other information saved on your device, even if this is where the cookies are downloaded. Cookies cannot load any kind of code or transmit viruses or malware and they do not harm the user’s terminal.

Third-party cookies

By browsing this site you will receive BLUENAUTA cookies as well as cookies from third-party sites, which could set up cookies on your device on our behalf in order to provide their services.

Third-party cookies allow us to obtain more complete surveys of users’ browsing habits. We use these cookies, for example, to collect information for advertising and content personalisation purposes, as well as to process statistics about the use of our site and to assess your interest towards specific content or services.

Statistical cookies (third party)

bluenauta.it uses Google Analytics, a web traffic analysis service provided by Google, Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway – Mountain View – CA94043 USA, which uses cookies to collect and analyse information in aggregate form relating to users’ browsing. BLUENAUTA and Google do not associate your IP address with other data held in order to identify you directly.

The information collected is processed by Google Analytics systems in order to produce reports for the bluenauta.it administrators, who use them to verify that the services are working properly and to possibly check the level of satisfaction of the content offered.

To disable statistical cookies, thereby preventing Google Analytics from collecting data about your browsing, you can download the specific add-on for disabling Google Analytics, which can be found here: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.

Our web pages may contain plug-ins from main social networks (e.g. Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn), which are managed by the third parties involved.

These plug-ins could, for example, correspond to the “Like” or “Retweet” buttons of Facebook and Twitter. If you access one of our web pages with a similar plug-in, the internet browser connects directly to the third-party servers and the plug-in is shown on the screen thanks to the connection with the browser. The plug-in may send which pages the user visited to the servers.

If a social network user visits our web pages whilst he/she is connected to his/her account, this information could be associated with the account. When the plug-in functions are used (for example, by clicking on the “Like” button), the information may also be associated with the account.

If you do not agree with the installation of the cookies, you must either set up your browser to disable the cookies or stop using this site. However, by disabling the cookies, the site or some of its functions may not work correctly.

To change the way the cookies are used, to block them or even delete the cookies on your terminal, simply go to your browser settings.

Most browsers offer the possibility to accept or refuse all cookies or to accept only some (for example, those from specific sites).

Though the steps are similar, the method for configuring cookies varies for each browser. For more details on which steps to follow, the user can visit the site www.aboutcookies.org or consult the “Help” section on his/her browser.
