Cookie Policy

This website is owned by the International Committee for the Development of Peoples (CISP), the data controller within and pursuant to Article 4, paragraph 7 of Regulation (EU) 2016/679 on the protection of individuals with regard to the processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data ("GDPR"), and uses cookies and similar technologies. This information provides guidance on how cookies are used and how they can be controlled by the user.

By using this website (and any other website operated by us) you agree to the use of cookies (and similar technologies) in accordance with this policy. In particular, you accept the use of analysis, advertising, marketing and profiling, and functionality cookies for the purposes described below.

If the user accepts profiling cookies, as identified below, these will be taken into account in the creation of behaviour profiles and preferences or interests by cross-referencing this information for the purposes of marketing and profiling activities, i.e. to send the user communications and advertising (also displayed through banners on the site itself) or to contact him in a personalised way, so that these activities include content that is of the user’s interest and not disruptive).

If the user does not intend to accept the use of cookies for the purposes of analysis, advertising, profiling, he/she can change the setting of the browser in the way described in the section "How to control and eliminate cookies".

WHAT ARE COOKIES?

Cookies are pieces of information stored on the hard disk of the user's computer and which are sent by the user's browser to a web server, and which relate to network use. As a result, they make it possible to find out about services, the sites visited and the options manifested while surfing the net. In other words, cookies are small files, containing letters and numbers which are downloaded onto the user's computer or mobile device when visiting a website. The cookies are then sent back to the original website on each subsequent visit, or to another website that recognises these cookies. Cookies are useful because they allow a website to recognise the user's device.

This information is therefore not provided spontaneously and directly but leaves a trace of the user's web browsing.

Cookies perform several functions and allow you to navigate between pages efficiently, remembering your preferences and, more generally, improving your experience. They also ensure that the advertisements displayed during browsing are of interest to the user and that the marketing activities carried out are in line with the user's preferences, avoiding undesirable promotional initiatives or those not in line with the user's needs.

While browsing a site, the user may also receive cookies on his/her device that are sent by different sites or web servers (so-called "third parties"), on which there may be some elements (e.g., images, maps, sounds, specific links to pages of other domains) present on the site he is visiting. There may be in this regard:

• Direct cookies, sent directly from this site to the user's device
• Third-party cookies, coming from a third party but sent on our behalf. This site uses third party cookies to facilitate the analysis of our website and its use (as described below).

Depending on the purpose for which the cookies are used, they can be divided into:

• Technical cookies: these are used to enable the transmission of a communication through an electronic communication network or to provide a service expressly requested by the user. They are not used for any other purpose.

In the category of technical cookies, whose use does not require the user's consent, we distinguish:

1. Navigation or session cookies: they guarantee the normal navigation and use of the website (e.g.: to authenticate and access reserved areas). The use of these cookies (which are not permanently stored on the user's device and are automatically deleted when the browser is closed) is strictly limited to the transmission of session identifiers (consisting of random numbers generated by the server) necessary to enable the safe and efficient exploration of the site.
2. Analytics cookies: they are used only to collect information in aggregate form, on the number of users who visit the site and how they visit it
3. Functionality cookies: they allow the user to navigate according to a set of selected criteria (e.g., language or services you have signed up for) to improve the service provided to the user.

• Profiling cookies: these are designed to create profiles on the user and are used to send targeted promotional messages based on the preferences expressed during their navigation on the web. These cookies can only be used for these purposes with the user's consent.

HOW DOES THIS WEBSITE USE COOKIES?

The following summarises how this website and third parties use cookies. These uses include the use of cookies to

• know the total number of visitors on a continuous basis as well as the types of browsers (e.g. Firefox, Safari or Internet Explorer) and operating systems (e.g. Windows or Macintosh) used by users
• monitor the performance of the site, including how visitors use it, and to improve its functionality
• personalise and improve the online user experience
• allow user profiling, for targeted and personalised promotional purposes according to the preferences and interests expressed by the user online, exclusively by us and not by third parties, both on and off this site

WHICH CATEGORIES OF COOKIES DO WE USE AND HOW CAN THEY BE MANAGED BY THE USER?

The types of cookies we use can be classified into one of the categories shown in the table below, which allows the user to give their consent or modify his/her preference (if already given) to accept the various types of cookies:

COOKIE-LIKE TECHNOLOGIES

As is the case with many websites, we use technologies like cookies, such as pixel tags (also known as "web beacon"). These technologies provide us and our suppliers with information about how the site and its content are used by visitors and allow us to identify whether your computer or device has visited our or other sites in the past.

Our servers automatically collect your IP address, so we can associate that address with your domain name or the name of your Internet provider. We may also collect certain 'clickstream data' relating to your use of the site. Clickstream data includes, for example, information about your computer or device, your browser and operating system and its settings, the page you came from, the pages and content you viewed or clicked on during your visit and when and how you did so, the items you downloaded, the site you visited next, and any search terms you entered on our site or on a redirect site.

HOW TO CONTROL OR DELETE COOKIES

The user has the right to choose whether or not to accept cookies. Below we provide information on how to exercise this right. However, please note that if you choose to decline cookies, you may not be able to use all the features of the website and, if you have consented to profiling on other occasions, the communications you receive may not be relevant to your interests. Please also note that if you choose to manage your cookie preferences, our cookie management tool will still set a technical cookie on your device to enable us to enforce your preferences. Deleting or removing cookies from your device will also remove the preference cookie and you will need to make these choices again.

Cookies can be blocked using the selection links in the table above. Alternatively, it is possible to change the browser settings so that cookies cannot be stored on the device. To do this, please follow the instructions provided by your browser (usually found in the "Help", "Tools" or "Edit" menus). Deactivating a cookie or a category of cookies does not delete them from the browser. Therefore, this operation must be carried out directly in the browser.

If the user wants to delete, disable or restore cookies on the computer, it is possible to use the cookie configuration pages provided by any third-party content providers, or through the browser options.

Below is a list of instructions for managing cookies for the most popular browsers:

• Chrome 
  
  
• Firefox 
  
  
• Internet Explorer 
  
  
• Safari 
  
  

If you use a mobile device, you should refer to its user guide to find out how to manage cookies.

PREVIOUSLY SET COOKIES

If you have disabled one or more cookies, we will still be able to use the information collected prior to this disabling through your preferences. However, as of that time, we will stop using disabled cookies to collect additional information.
