COOKIES

What Cookies Are

Cookies are small text files that websites visited by the User send to the User’s device, such as a

computer, laptop, tablet or smartphone. They are stored on the device and subsequently sent back to

the same websites the next time the same User visits them.

When browsing this website, you may receive only Cookies sent directly by our website.

For the purposes of this Policy, Cookies are divided into two main categories: “technical” Cookies and

“profiling” Cookies.

With regard to Cookies, Users are informed that this website exclusively uses technical Cookies known

as “analytics” Cookies to statistically analyse visits to the website, as well as technical browsing or

session Cookies.

These Cookies are used exclusively for statistical purposes and collect information in aggregate form. In

particular, the analytics Cookies used on this website are Google Cookies based on the ga.js JavaScript

library.

Browsing or session Cookies allow Users to navigate the website more easily. No Personal Data relating

to Users are collected by the website in this regard.

Cookies are not used to transmit information of a personal nature.

GOOGLE

The website uses Google Analytics to collect information regarding how Users use the website.

Google Analytics generates statistical and other information through Cookies stored on Users’

computers. The information generated in relation to our website is used to produce reports concerning

website usage.

Google will store and use this information. Google’s Privacy Policy is available at the following address:

COOKIES USED

Preferences

These Cookies allow our website to store information that changes the way the website behaves or

appears, such as your preferred language or the geographical area in which you are located.

The loss of information stored in a preference Cookie may make the website experience less functional

but should not prevent the website from operating.

Most Google Users have a preference Cookie called “NID” in their browsers. The browser sends this

Cookie when requests are made to Google websites.

The NID Cookie contains a unique ID used by Google to store your preferences and other information,

such as your preferred language, for example Italian, the number of search results you wish to be

displayed on each page, for example 10 or 20, and whether you wish to enable Google’s SafeSearch

filter.

Advertising

The use of these Cookies requires the User’s express and informed consent pursuant to Article 122,

paragraph 1, of the Italian Privacy Code.

By accessing the website’s homepage at https://www.topflight.it, viewing the Cookie information

banner displayed on the website and reading the information provided, the User gives their specific

consent to the use of Cookies.

Configuring an internet browser, such as Explorer, Firefox or Chrome, to accept the use of Cookies is

also considered valid consent by the User pursuant to Article 122, paragraph 2, of the Italian Privacy

Code.

We use Cookies such as the NID and SID Cookies to help personalise advertisements on Google

properties, such as Google Search.

The main Cookie used for advertising on third-party websites is called “id” or “IDE” and is stored in

browsers under the doubleclick.net domain.

In some cases, an advertising Cookie may be set on the domain of the website being visited. In the case

of the DoubleClick product, a “__gads” Cookie may be set on the website’s domain.

Unlike Cookies set on Google domains, this Cookie cannot be read by Google when you visit other

websites. It can be used, for example, to measure interactions with advertisements on the domain.

Conversion Cookies are not used by Google to target personalised advertisements and are retained for

a limited period. The “Conversion” Cookie is intended for this purpose and is generally set under the

googleadservices.com domain.

7DoubleClick and Google Analytics Cookies may also be used for this purpose.

Session Status

The website collects information regarding how Users interact with it. This information may concern the

pages most frequently visited by Users and any error messages they receive from particular pages.

We use these “session status Cookies” to improve our Services and our Users’ browsing experience.

Blocking or deleting these Cookies will not make the website unusable.

These Cookies may also be used to measure the effectiveness of PPC advertising, meaning Pay Per Click

advertising, and affiliate advertising.

The use of session Cookies, which are not stored permanently on the User’s computer and disappear

when the browser is closed, is strictly limited to the transmission of session identifiers consisting of

random numbers generated by the server. These identifiers are necessary to allow the website to be

browsed securely and efficiently.

The session Cookies used on this website avoid the use of other IT techniques that could potentially

compromise the confidentiality of Users’ browsing activities and do not allow the collection of

personally identifiable information relating to the User.
