What are cookies?

Cookies consist of portions of code (computer files or partial data) sent by a server to the user's Internet browser, stored by that browser automatically on the user’s computer and automatically sent to the server at each occurrence or subsequent access to the site. A cookie usually contains the name of the website from which the cookie comes from, the life span of the cookie (that’s how long it will remain on the user’s device) and a value, which is usually a unique, randomly generated number. When the user returns the cookies are sent back to the website that created them (first-­party cookies) or another site that recognises them (third­-party cookies). Cookies are useful because they allow a website to recognise the user’s device and have different purposes such as, for example, allowing you to navigate between pages efficiently, remembering your favourite website and, in general, improving the browsing experience.

If the user decides to disable cookies, this may affect and/or limit their browsing experience on the site. For example, they might not be able to visit certain sections of a site or may not receive personalised information when visiting the site.

This Cookie Policy is intended to illustrate the types and categories of cookies, their scope and the methods for their use as employed by “AR LABS di Lear Cabrini”. The policy also intends to provide information to users about the actions that can be taken to reject or delete the cookies on this site (the “Site”).

This Cookie Policy forms an integral part of the Privacy Policy of the Site. To change the cookie settings, users must follow the instructions provided in this Cookie Policy.

How do cookies work and how are they eliminated?

The operating modes and options to limit or block cookies can be adjusted by changing the settings on your Internet browser. The majority of Internet browsers are initially programmed to accept cookies automatically, but the user can change these settings to block cookies or to be alerted whenever cookies are sent to their device. There are several ways to manage cookies for this purpose, and it’s necessary to refer to the instruction manual or the help section of the browser to learn how to adjust or change the settings. The user is enabled, in fact, to change the default configuration and disable cookies (in other words, block them permanently), by setting a higher level of security.

Below is the path to follow in order to manage cookies through the following browsers:

Explorer: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-vista/block-or-allow-cookies
Safari: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201265
Chrome: https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/95647
Firefox: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/enable-and-disable-cookies-website-preferences

When different devices are used to view and access the site (for example, computer, smartphone, tablet, etc.), the user must verify that each browser on each device is adjusted to reflect their cookie preferences. To remove cookies from the Internet browser of a smartphone / tablet, users should refer to the user manual of the device.

What types and categories of cookies exists and for what purposes the site uses them?

The site uses different types of cookies, each of which serves a specific function. The site uses cookies to make the use of the site easier and to better tailor the site and its products to the interests and needs of users. Cookies can be used to speed up future experiences and user activities on the site. In addition, it uses cookies to compile anonymous aggregate statistics that allow the AR LABS to understand how users use the site and to improve the structure and content of the site.

Below is an explanatory list.

Technical cookies

“Technical” cookies are essential for the proper use of the siteand allow users to navigate the site and take advantage of its features (they allow previous actions to be memorised, or to save the user's session and/or to perform other activities strictly necessary for the operation of the site).

“Analytical” cookies also belong to this category. These cookies help AR LABS understand how users interact with the website,providing information on the last page viewed, the number of sections and pages viewed, time spent on the site and each event that emerged while navigating, such as an error message, and help us to understand all the difficulties that the users encounter in the use of the site. This information may be associated with user details such as partial IP address, domain or browser; however, they are analysed along with other user information so they don’t identify a particular user. These cookies are collected and aggregated anonymously and help to improve the performance of the site.

Finally, “functionality” cookies allow the siteto remember the user's choices (for example the user name or language) to provide them with a more customised and optimised navigation. While functional cookies are not essential to the operation of the site, they improve the quality and experience of the navigation. If these cookies are not accepted, the site’s performance and features may be diminished and access to the contents of the site may be limited.

Profiling cookies

“Targeting” or “profiling” cookies are used to present content that is more suited to users and their interests. They can be used to display targeted ads, to publish advertisements tailored to the user’s interests, or to limit the number of times the user views an advertisement.

The Site does no use any Profiling cookies

Third party cookies

When a user uses the website, it is possible that certain cookies are stored that are not controlled by AR LABS. This happens, for example, if the user visits a page that contains content of a third-party website. As a result, the user will receive cookies from these third-party services. In terms of third-party cookies, AR LABS does not control the information provided by the cookie and does not have access to such data. This information is completely controlled by third-party companies as described in the relative privacy policy. 

The table below lists the third­-party cookies on this website. The latter fall under the direct and exclusive responsibility of the third-party operator and are divided into the following main categories:

• Analytics: cookies used to collect and analyse statistical information on access/visits to the website. In some cases, combined with other information such as the entered credentials for access to restricted areas (user email address and password), cookies can be used to profile the user (personal habits, websites visited, downloaded content, types of interactions carried out, etc.).
• Widgets. This category includes all the components of the graphic user interface of a program which aims to facilitate user interaction with the program itself (cookies from Facebook, Google+, Twitter are an example of widgets).
• Advertising. Cookies used to deliver advertising services within a site belong to this category.

If the user doesn’t want to receive third­-party cookies on their device, they can use the links listed below to access third-­party disclosure and forms and exclude the receipt.

These cookies are not controlled directly by AR LABS. Therefore, in order to withdraw consent, it is necessary to refer to the website of the third parties or refer to the website www.youronlinechoices.com to obtain information on how to delete or manage cookies based on the browser being used and to manage preferences about third-party cookie profiling.
