COOKIE POLICY

Cookies

Cookies are strings of text that websites visited by users (known as “publishers” or “first parties”) or different websites or web servers (known as “third parties”) place and store on the user’s device, to be then retransmitted to the same websites during subsequent visits.

Cookies are used for different purposes: performing computer authentications, session monitoring, storing information about specific configurations regarding users accessing the server, saving preferences, or facilitating the use of online content—for example, to keep track of items in a shopping cart or information for filling out an online form, etc. They can also be used to profile the user, i.e., to “observe” their behavior, for example to send targeted advertising, measure the effectiveness of advertising messages, and implement related commercial strategies. In this case, they are referred to as profiling cookies.

The same result can also be achieved through other tracking tools or techniques, including fingerprinting.

Technical cookies are cookies necessary to perform navigation or provide a service requested by the user. They are not used for further purposes and are usually installed directly by the website owner.

Without the use of these cookies, certain operations could not be performed or would be more complex and/or less secure, such as home banking activities (viewing account statements, wire transfers, paying bills, etc.), for which cookies that allow user identification within a session are essential.

Data Controller and Data Protection Officer Identification

The data controller for the processing covered by this policy is: Argo srl.

Types of Cookies Used on Our Website

The website https://www.argoshipmanagement.com/ uses technical cookies, which are those used solely to “carry out the transmission of a communication over an electronic communications network, or strictly necessary for the provider of an information society service explicitly requested by the subscriber or user to provide such service” (Art. 122, paragraph 1, of the Privacy Code).

The technical cookies used by https://www.argoshipmanagement.com/ are divided into:

  • Navigation or session cookies: necessary for normal navigation and use of the website. The site cannot function properly without these cookies. Without them, some operations could not be performed or would be more complex and/or less secure. As they are essential, no consent is required for their use. These cookies are not used for additional purposes and may be session-based or persistent.
  • Functionality cookies: allow the user to navigate based on a series of selected criteria (e.g., language, selected products for purchase) to improve the browsing experience.

 

Managing Preferences

Users can, at any time, manage or request the general deactivation or deletion of cookies by changing the settings of their Internet browser. However, this deactivation may slow down or prevent access to some parts of the site or make browsing less functional.

Each browser manages cookies differently. To deactivate them, follow your browser’s instructions:

  • Internet Explorer – Operating system: Windows
  • Google Chrome – Operating system: Windows / Mac
  • Firefox – Operating system: Windows / Mac
  • Safari – Operating system: Windows / Mac
  • Microsoft Edge – Operating system: Windows

Purpose and Legal Basis for Data Processing

The purposes for which technical cookies are used on the site include:

  • Performing computer authentications;
  • Session monitoring;
  • Preventing fraudulent activity;
  • Enhancing security;
  • Storing user preferences (e.g., language or currency);
  • Assisting with website navigation;
  • Supporting functionality usage;
  • Technical communication.

The legal basis for processing personal data is the legitimate interest of the data controller in protecting the website and its users.

Is User Consent Required for Cookie Installation?

It depends on the purpose for which the cookies are used—whether they are “technical” or “profiling” cookies.

The installation of technical cookies does not require user consent, although providing information (under Article 13 of Regulation EU 2016/679) is still mandatory.

Profiling cookies or other tracking tools, however, can only be used if the user has given their consent after being informed through simplified methods.

As established by the Italian Data Protection Authority in its May 8, 2014 decision and reiterated in the Guidelines on cookies and other tracking tools of June 10, 2021, the information should be structured in multiple layers and made available through various channels, using all appropriate means to make it accessible even to users with disabilities.

While the data controller is free to choose the measures and solutions that best ensure legal compliance, the Authority suggests a mechanism whereby, upon accessing a website (on the homepage or any other page), a banner immediately appears containing a brief information notice, a request for consent to the use of cookies, and a link to more detailed information. On this page, users can find additional and more detailed information and select which specific cookies to authorize.

Therefore, since this site primarily uses technical cookies, user consent is not required.
