Cookie policy
This section of the quet.co.uk website provides information on the use / management of cookies and any similar technologies employed.

  • DEFINITIONS
    Cookies are text files that sites visited by users send to their terminals, where they are stored to be retransmitted to the same sites on the next visit. In contrast, cookies from so-called third parties are set by a site other than the one the user is visiting. This happens because on each site there may be elements (e.g., images, maps, sounds, specific links to web pages on other domains, …) that reside on servers other than that of the site being visited.
  • TYPES OF COOKIES
    According to the characteristics and use of cookies, several categories can be distinguished.
    Technical cookies: used only to “carry out the transmission of a communication over an electronic communications network, or to the extent strictly necessary for the provider of an information society service explicitly requested by the subscriber or user to provide such service” (see Article 122, paragraph 1, of the Privacy Code). They are not used for any further purposes and are normally installed directly by the website owner or operator. They can be divided into:
    – navigation or session cookies, which ensure normal navigation and use of the website;
    – analytics cookies, which are assimilated to technical cookies where they are used directly by the website operator to collect information, in aggregate form, on the number of users and how they visit the website
    – functionality cookies, which allow the user to navigate according to a series of selected criteria in order to improve the service rendered to the same. For the installation of these cookies, the prior consent of users is not required, while the obligation to give the information pursuant to art. 13 of the Code remains in place, which the operator of the site, if it uses only such devices, may provide in the manner it deems most appropriate.
    – Profiling cookies: aimed at creating profiles related to the user and are used to send advertising messages in line with the preferences expressed by the same in the context of web browsing. Due to the particular invasiveness that these devices can have within the private sphere of users, European and Italian regulations provide that the user must be adequately informed about their use and thus express their valid consent. They are referred to in Art. 122 of the Privacy Code where it provides that “the storage of information in the terminal device of a contractor or user or access to information already stored is permitted only on condition that the contractor or user has expressed consent after being informed in the simplified manner referred to in Article 13, paragraph 3” (Art. 122, paragraph 1, of the Code).
    This site does not use profiling cookies.
    –Third-party cookies: by visiting this site you may receive cookies from sites operated by other organizations (third parties). An example is the presence of social plugins (e.g. Facebook, Instagram) or embedded (integrated) multimedia content display systems. These are parts generated directly by the aforementioned sites and integrated into the web page of the visited host site. The presence of these plugins results in the transmission of cookies to and from all sites operated by third parties. The management of information collected by third parties is governed by the relevant disclosures to which please refer. For the sake of transparency and convenience, the web addresses of some disclosures and cookie management methods are provided.

  • DURATION OF COOKIES
    Some cookies (session cookies) remain active only until the browser is closed or any logout command is executed. Other cookies remain active when the browser is closed and are available on subsequent visits by the user. These cookies are called persistent and their duration is set by the server when they are created. In some cases an expiration date is set, in other cases the duration is unlimited.
  • COOKIE MANAGEMENT
    Users can decide whether or not to accept cookies using their browser settings.
    Warning. Total or partial disabling of technical cookies may affect the optimal use of the site. Disabling third-party cookies does not affect navigability in any way. The setting can be defined specifically for different sites and web applications. In addition, browsers allow different settings to be defined for proprietary and third-party cookies.
