Access to this Website may involve the use of cookies. Cookies are small amounts of information that are stored in the browser used by each User —on the different devices that they may use to browse— so that the server remembers certain information that will subsequently be read only by the server that implemented it. Cookies facilitate browsing, make it more user-friendly, and do not damage the browsing device.
Cookies are automatic procedures for collecting information relating to the preferences determined by the User during his visit to the Website in order to recognise him as a User, and personalise his experience and use of the Website, and may also, for example, help to identify and resolve errors.
The information collected through cookies may include the date and time of visits to the Website, the pages viewed, the time spent on the Website and the sites visited just before and after the visit. However, no cookie allows the cookie to contact the User's telephone number or any other means of personal contact. No cookie can extract information from the User's hard drive or steal personal information. The only way for the User's private information to be part of the Cookie file is for the User to personally provide that information to the server.
Cookies that allow a person to be identified are considered personal data. Therefore, the Privacy Policy described above will apply to them. In this regard, the User's consent will be required for their use. This consent will be communicated, based on an authentic choice, offered through an affirmative and positive decision, before the initial, removable and documented treatment.
Own cookies
These are cookies that are sent to the User's computer or device and managed exclusively by PHASE FOUR for the best functioning of the Website. The information collected is used to improve the quality of the Website and its Content and your experience as a User. These cookies allow the User to be recognised as a repeat visitor to the Website and to adapt the content to offer content that is tailored to their preferences.
Social media cookies
PHASE FOUR incorporates social network plugins, which allow access to social networks from the Website. For this reason, social network cookies may be stored in the User's browser. The owners of these social networks have their own data protection and cookie policies, and are themselves, in each case, responsible for their own files and their own privacy practices. The User must refer to them to obtain information about these cookies and, where applicable, the processing of their personal data. For information purposes only, the links where these privacy and/or cookie policies can be consulted are indicated below:
Disabling, rejecting and deleting cookies
The User may disable, reject and delete cookies – in whole or in part – installed on his or her device by configuring his or her browser (including, for example, Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Explorer). In this regard, the procedures for rejecting and deleting cookies may differ from one Internet browser to another. Consequently, the User must follow the instructions provided by the Internet browser he or she is using. In the event that he or she rejects the use of cookies – in whole or in part – he or she may continue to use the Website, although the use of some of its features may be limited.
What are cookies?
Cookies are a set of data that a server deposits in the user's browser that allows the device in question (computer, mobile, etc.) to be recognized.
Virtually all websites use cookies as they allow the pages to function more efficiently and achieve greater personalization and analysis of user behavior.
Cookies do not allow the identification and collection of personal data of the user , only to recognize a device that has previously accessed the website in question.
In order to be able to recognise the identity of the user, it is necessary that the user expressly registers on the website and expressly provides his or her personal information, as occurs in online services of all kinds (banking, e-commerce, suppliers, etc.).
If the user does not log out , the cookie can be used to recognize the device with which the user initially registered, allowing the user to be recognized indirectly. However, strictly speaking , what is recognized in this case is still the device, not the user .
This becomes clear if you consider the case of a person other than the one who registered and who later uses the same device to access the same website.
The website cannot technically know whether the user is the same or a different one , and the security problem actually occurs at the level of the user (allowing another person to access a device containing confidential information).
This scenario, in the physical world, would be very similar to, for example, giving the keys to the house to another person. If this happens, there is no way to claim liability from third parties such as, for example, the landlord.
