Cookies Usage Policy
Ma.Cro. Services S.r.l. websites use cookies and similar technologies to ensure that our procedures work properly and to improve the experience of using online applications. This document provides detailed information on the use of cookies and similar technologies, how they are used by Ma.Cro. Services S.r.l. and how to manage them. We recommend that you inform yourself about the Personal Data Protection Code [Consolidated Text in force] to raise awareness of the subject.
Definitions
Cookies are short fragments of text (letters and/or numbers) that allow the web server to store information on the client (the browser) for reuse during the same visit to the site (session cookies) or later, even after days (persistent cookies). Cookies are stored, according to your preferences, by each browser on the specific device used (computer, tablet, smartphone).
Similar technologies, such as web beacons, transparent GIFs and all forms of local storage introduced with HTML5, can be used to collect information about user behavior and service usage.
In the following we will refer to cookies and all similar technologies by simply using the term “cookie”.
Types of cookies
We may distinguish between different categories based on the characteristics and use of cookies:
Cookies strictly necessary. These cookies are essential to the proper functioning of Ma.Cro. Services S.r.l. sites and are used to manage your login and access to the site’s confidential functions. The duration of cookies is strictly limited to the work session (closed the browser are deleted), except for those areas of the site accessible only by login (user recognition) where we use cookies of longer duration (expiring 30 days) designed to recognize, for this limited period, the visitor’s computer. Their deactivation compromises the use of the services accessible via login. The public part of the sites remains normally usable.
Analysis and performance cookies. These are cookies used to collect and analyze traffic and use of the site anonymously. These cookies, while not identifying the user, allow you, for example, to detect whether the same user returns to the Internet at different times. They also allow you to monitor your system and improve its performance and usability. The deactivation of these cookies can be performed without any loss of functionality.
Profiling cookies. These are persistent cookies that are used to identify (anonymously or otherwise) your preferences and improve your browsing experience.
Third party cookies
When you visit a website, you may receive cookies from both the site you visit (“owners”) and sites operated by other organizations (“third parties”). A notable example is the presence of “social plugins” for Facebook, Twitter, Google+ and LinkedIn. These are parts of the page visited generated directly by the above mentioned sites and integrated into the page of the host site. The most common use of social plugins is to share content on social networks.
The presence of these plugins involves the transmission of cookies to and from all sites managed by third parties. The management of information collected from “third parties” is governed by the relevant information that please refer to. For greater transparency and convenience, the web addresses of the various information and methods for managing cookies are listed below.
Google Analytics
Ma.Cro. Services S.r.l. sites also include certain components transmitted by Google Analytics, a web traffic analysis service provided by Google, Inc. “(‘Google’). Again, these are third-party cookies that are collected and managed anonymously to track and improve the performance of the host site (performance cookies).
Google Analytics uses “cookies” to collect and analyze information about your use of the Ma.Cro. Services S.r.l. website (including your IP address) anonymously. This information is collected by Google Analytics, which processes it for the purpose of compiling reports for Ma.Cro. Services S.r.l. operators on website activities. This website does not use (and does not allow third parties to use) Google’s analysis tool to monitor or collect personally identifiable information. Google does not associate your IP address with any other data held by Google, nor does it attempt to link an IP address with the identity of a user. Google may also disclose this information to third parties where required to do so by law or where such third parties process the information on Google’s behalf.
The user can selectively disable Google Analytics’ action by installing the opt-out component provided by Google on his browser. To disable Google Analytics action, please refer to the link below:

Cookies duration
Some cookies (session cookies) remain active only until your browser is closed or you log out. Other cookies “survive” the closure of your browser and are also available on subsequent visits by the user.
These cookies are called persistent cookies and their duration is fixed by the server when they are created. In some cases a deadline is set, in other cases the duration is unlimited.
Ma.Cro. Services S.r.l. does not use persistent cookies.
However, by browsing the pages of Ma.Cro. Services S.r.l. websites, you may interact with third party sites that may create or modify persistent and profile cookies.
Cookie Management
You can decide whether or not to accept cookies by using your browser settings.
Attention: total or partial disabling of technical cookies may compromise the use of site functions reserved for registered users. On the contrary, the usability of public content is also possible by completely disabling cookies.
Disabling “third party” cookies does not affect your browsability in any way.
The setting can be defined specifically for different websites and web applications. In addition, the best browsers allow you to define different settings for “proprietary” and “third party” cookies.
For example, in Firefox, through the menu Tools->Options ->Privacy, you can access a control panel where you can define whether or not to accept different types of cookies and remove them.
