Types of Data Processed and Purposes of Processing

For details on the types of data processed and the purposes, please refer to the specific Privacy Policy.

05

Browsing Data

The IT systems and software procedures used to operate this website acquire, during their normal operation, certain personal data whose transmission is implicit in the use of Internet communication protocols.

These data are not collected to be associated with identified individuals, but by their nature could allow users to be identified through processing and association with data held by third parties.

This category includes IP addresses or domain names of computers used by users, URI (Uniform Resource Identifier) addresses of requested resources, time of request, method used to submit the request to the server, size of the file obtained, numeric code indicating the server response status (success, error, etc.), and other parameters related to the user’s operating system and IT environment.

These data are used solely for anonymous statistical purposes and to monitor the proper functioning of the site and are deleted immediately after processing. The data could be used to ascertain liability in the event of cybercrimes; otherwise, data are not retained for more than seven days.

06

Cookies

Cookies are text strings that websites visited by the user (known as “first parties”) or different websites (“third parties”) store on the user’s device to be retrieved on future visits.

They serve various purposes, such as authentication, session tracking, preference storage, user profiling, and facilitating online services.

Technical cookies are essential for navigation or to provide services requested by users. Without these, certain operations would be more complex or insecure.

07

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.

08

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

09

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.

10

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.
