  During their normal operation the IT systems and applications dedicated to operating the Site detect certain personal data whose transmission is implicit in the use of communication and Internet protocols.
  These data are not gathered to be associated with identified Users, but for their very nature could, through processing and associations with data held by others, make the identification of users possible.

  These data are used only to obtain anonymous statistical information about the use of the Site and to check that it is working properly and are erased after processing in the terms specified below.
  These data could be used, on request of the competent Authorities, only for court investigation or inquiries, in compliance with the regulations in force: with the exception of this eventuality, the data on web contacts do not last for more than seven days.
   

  Use of Cookies

  In order to simplify navigation in the CSI-Piemonte Site and the way in which visitors reach us, this Site, like many other web sites, uses Google Analytics, a web analysis service provided by Google, Inc. with headquarters at 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway; Mountain View, California, 94043 USA ("Google"), which adheres to the principles of privacy established by the United States government ( US Safe Harbor Privacy Principles), to which privacy-policy reference is made for the treatment described below and of which Google itself should be considered as the Holder.
  With Google Analytics it is possible to understand the use and the more interesting points of single web sites. It gathers the data indicated below and points out the preferences of visitors without identifying them.
  In order to do this, Google Analytics uses cookies, i.e. text files that the web server deposits on the user’s computer to make it possible to analyse how users use the web site.
  Therefore the CSI-Piemonte Site sends a cookie when the user accesses it, forwards inquiries or personalised information, or subscribes to use determinate services.
  A cookie cannot read personal data saved on the hard disk or files of cookies created by other sites, as the only pieces of personal information it can contain are those provided by the actual user. Accepting the cookies of the Site allows CSI-Piemonte to acquire information about the navigation preferences shown by users within the Site, to develop increasingly better services tailored to visitors’ requirements. The cookie stores information, such as, for example, the time of the visit, if the visitor has already previously accessed the site, which site addressed him/her to the web page, the web pages visited, etc.
  Since CSI-Piemonte has no control over Google, and is not the co-holder of the data it gathers, it should be mentioned for completeness that the information generated by the cookie on the use of the Site by the user (including the IP address) will be transmitted and deposited c/o the Google servers in the United States.
  Google guarantees that it will never associate the IP address of a user to any other datum possessed by same to avoid linking tastes and preferences to the individual visitor.
  Google declares that it uses the information as described above with the sole purpose of tracking and examining the use of the web site, completing reports on the activities of the site, obtaining anonymous statistical information or providing other services related with the use of the site. Google may also transfer this information to others, where this is compulsory by law or where these third parties treat the information on behalf of Google.
  However, the information summarised above is not helpful in replacing the informative note on the treatment of data on Google’s part : for further information reference should be made to the site Google Analytics.
  Except for the items expressly mentioned above, CSI-Piemonte does not use cookies for the transmission of information of a personal nature, nor are persistent c.d.Cookies used of any kind, i.e. User tracking systems.
  The User can refuse to use cookies and raise the level of privacy protection selecting the appropriate setting on the browser so that it shows a notice (with which it is possible to accept or refuse cookies), or refuses all cookies. However these settings might prevent the use of all the functions of this Site. In fact, some CSI-Piemonte web pages, particularly those for which user names and passwords are necessary, require cookies and it is not possible to use them if the cookies are deactivated.
  It is also possible to delete the cookies after every session.
