Cookie Policy

In accordance with the provision of the Italian Data Protection Authority of May 8, 2014, titled “Identification of simplified procedures for the information and acquisition of consent for the use of cookies”, Giovannozzi srls, manager of pipeonline.it, intends to inform users of the following.


General Information About Cookies

When you access pipeonline.it or use one of our services, our system or one of our partners may set or read cookies and/or other types of identifiers about the browser and/or device you are using.

A cookie is a small text file that is stored on the computer of someone who views a website in order to record certain information related to the visit as well as to create a system for recognizing the user even at later times. Device identifiers, on the other hand, are generated by collecting and processing certain information such as the IP address and/or user agent (browser version, type and version of the operating system) or other characteristics of the device, always for the purpose of reconnecting certain information to a specific user.

A website can set a cookie on the browser only if the preferences configured for the latter allow it. It is important to know that a browser can allow a specific website to access only and exclusively the cookies it has set and not those set by other websites: there is no risk to your privacy in this regard.

Practices Related to Cookies and Similar Technologies

pipeonline.it may use cookies or other types of identifiers for a variety of reasons, including:

- Provide access to reserved areas of the site accessible through authentication (in this case the cookies are called “technical” and are used to maintain the browsing session and/or to facilitate subsequent access from the same device).
- Keep track of user preferences while using the site and/or services incorporated or connected to it.
- Process statistical analyses (Google Analytics) about the use of the site and/or services incorporated.
- Interact with major social networks to use functions such as “like”, “share”, and “tweet” to share pages and/or content from pipeonline.it
- Cookies from external circuits for publishing banner advertisements

pipeonline.it DOES NOT directly use any profiling cookies: the only cookies generated and managed directly by pipeonline.it are the so-called technical cookies (which are used solely to correctly provide the services offered to the public) and, in an extremely limited way, analytics cookies (which are used to count the number of page views and/or for other statistical purposes).

Cookies from Other Companies

pipeonline.it integrates, within its pages, third-party services that may set and use their own cookies and/or similar technologies. The use of such cookies and similar technologies by these companies is governed by the privacy policies of these companies and not by this policy, as pipeonline.it is totally unrelated to the management of these tools and the processing of data derived from them.

Below is a list (not exhaustive) of some of the partner companies that may use cookies while you browse the pipeonline.it network:
- Google Analytics (information)
- Google+ (information)
- Facebook (information)
- Twitter (information)

Disabling Cookies

You can configure your browser to accept or reject all cookies or particular types of cookies (e.g., third-party cookies) or to be notified whenever a cookie is set on your computer.

It is important to know that rejecting all cookies may prevent you from using the products and services of pipeonline.it that require you to log in, using a username and password, to areas reserved for registered users. All these services, in fact, require cookies to function properly, and, consequently, blocking cookies would make their use impossible.
