Cookie Policy

In accordance with the provision of the Guarantor for the protection of personal data of 8 May 2014, entitled "Identification of simplified procedures for the information and the acquisition of consent for the use of cookies", Giovannozzi srls manager of pipeonline.it, intends to inform the user of the following.

General information about cookies

When you access pipeonline.it or use one of our services, our system or that of one of our partners may set or read cookies and/or other types of identifiers about the browser and/or device you are using.

A cookie is a small text file that is stored on the computer of the person viewing a website in order to record certain information about the visit as well as to create a system for recognizing the user at later times. Device identifiers, on the other hand, are generated by collecting and processing certain information such as the IP address and/or the user agent (browser version, operating system type and version) or other characteristics of the device, again in order to link certain information back to a specific user.

A website can set a cookie on the browser only if the preferences configured for the browser allow it. It is important to know that a browser may only allow a particular website to access cookies set by it and not those set by other websites: there is no risk to your privacy in this respect.

Practices related to cookies and other similar technologies

pipeonline.co.uk may use cookies or other identifiers for a number of reasons, including:

- Providing access to restricted areas of the site and accessed by authentication (in which case the cookies are called "technical" and are used to maintain the browsing session and/or to facilitate subsequent access from the same device).
- Keep track of the user's preferences while using the site and/or services incorporated in it or connected to it.
- To process statistical analyses (google analytics) on the use of the site and/or the services incorporated in it.
- Interaction with major social networks to use functions such as "like", "share" and "tweet" in order to share pages and/or content of pipeonline.it.  
- External circuit cookies for banner advertising

pipeonline.it DOES NOT use profiling cookies directly: the only cookies that pipeonline.it generates and manages are technical cookies (which are used exclusively to provide the services we offer to the public) and, to a very limited extent, analytics cookies (which are used to count the number of page views and/or for other statistical purposes).

Cookies from other companies

pipeonline.it integrates third party services that may set and use cookies and/or similar technologies. The use of such cookies and similar technologies by these companies is governed by the privacy policies of those companies and not by this privacy policy as pipeonline.it is totally unrelated to the management of these tools and the processing of data from them.

We provide below a list (not exhaustive) of some of the partner companies that may use cookies while you browse the pipeonline.it network
- Google Analytics (cookie policy)
- Google+ (cookie policy)
- Facebook (cookie policy)
- Twitter (cookie policy)

Please be aware that rejecting all cookies may prevent you from accessing pipeonline.co.uk products and services that require you to sign in using a username and password to access areas restricted to registered users. All of these services require cookies in order to function correctly and therefore blocking cookies would make them impossible to use.
