Extended statement about cookies

This Cookies Policy explains how the website www.metodostudio.com (hereinafter simply “site” or “website”) adopts cookies and, furthermore, provides guidance as to how cookies can be managed. This Cookies Policy forms part of the Privacy Police, which describes the personal data handling practices used by Metodo, as available at this link: Privacy Policy.

Cookies and other technologies

Cookies will be stored on your device – computer, smartphone or tablet – when you are using this website, according to the purposes described. Cookies are small text files, which are stored on your hard drive in connection with the browser software and collect specific information that the website is able to read in the moment in which it is seen at a later time. Cookies cannot execute programmes or transmit viruses to your computer. They simply serve the purpose of making the overall Internet offering more user-friendly and effective.

Session cookies

Session cookies are stored on device for purely technical and functional requirements, for the transmission of session identifiers required to enable a safe and efficient site; they are deleted at the end of the session when your browser is closed. This type of cookies avoids the use of other technologies that could compromise your privacy.

Persistent cookies

Persistent cookies remain stored on your computer’s hard drive until they expire or cancellation. You have the option to delete all stored cookies at any time via the setting options of your browser.

Technical cookies

Technical cookies are cookies enabling you to browse on this website or to enjoy its basic features. These cookies are installed automatically on your device as a result of the access to the site and do not require any specific consent.

Navigation cookies

Navigation cookies guarantee normal navigation and use of the website, through different options or service.

Functional cookies

Functional cookies are used to save your preferences and facilitate the browsing experience based on a set of selected criteria (for example, language, browser type, etc.). They also memorise certain settings such as language selection and cookies consent in order to avoid displaying the cookies banner during your subsequent visits to the website.

Specific third party cookies

The non-technical cookies used by this website are third-party cookies: cookies set up on your device by a domain or website distinct from the site. Third party cookies are implemented by marketing vendors and partners of the website by the means of third party tags for specific purposes of the said third parties, including marketing and profiling. Metodo does not have any access or control over cookies or other tracking technology used by third parties accessible by the website: these subjects, listed below with the relative links to their privacy policies, are independent controllers of the data collection and handling processes via cookies; you must therefore refer to their personal data handling policies, information policies and consent forms.

Analytics cookies

These cookies, also known as performance cookies, collect standard information in aggregate form on the number of users and on how they visit the website, such as information on which pages or sections are most viewed. Metodo uses Google Analytics 4, a web analytics service provided by Google Inc., for the purpose of tracking and examining the use of this website, compiling reports and sharing them with other services developed by Google, not with marketing or profiling purposes.

Displaying content from external platforms

These services allow content hosted on external platforms to be viewed directly from the pages of this website and also allow interaction with them (i.e. Vimeo videos). In the case where a service of this type is installed, it is possible, even in the case where you do not use the service, for it to collect traffic data relating to the pages in which it is installed.

How to manage cookies and object to their use

According to current legislation, express consent is not always required to use cookies. In particular, technical cookies do not require this consent. These cookies are indispensable for operation of the website or required to perform activities requested. On the contrary, profiling cookies, i.e. those used to create user profiles and used to send advertising messages in line with the preferences outlined while browsing on the network, required specific consent. On the first visit to this website, your consensus is collected through a banner that indicates some mandatory information about cookies usage and shows the link to this extended information. Continuing browsing you accept the default settings. Should you express your consent to the installation of cookies in this way, we will keep track of your consent through a specific technical cookie (called “moove_gdpr_popup”) which duration is 6 months. In this way, Metodo will avoid displaying the cookies banner during your subsequent visits to the website.

Browser settings

You can manage your preferences for cookies directly from within your own browser and prevent – for example – third parties from installing them. Through browser preferences you can also delete cookies installed in the past, including the cookie which possibly saves the consent to the installation of cookies by this website. It is important to note that disabling all cookies, the operation of this site may be compromised.

Other settings

Notwithstanding the above, you may use Your Online Choices, an online service provided by EDAA (European Interactive Digital Advertising Alliance) through which it is possible to opt-out of cookies from companies that participate in the EDAA’s opt-out scheme, or NAI Consumer Opt Out, provided by NAI (Network Advertising Initiative).
