Cookies Policy

This cookies policy is referred exclusively to the corporate Web site http://jrs.net/ and must be understood as an integral part of the Privacy policy reported on the same site.

Definitions, Characteristics And Application Of The Legislation

Cookies are small text files that the sites visited by the user send and register on their computer or mobile device, to be retransmitted to the same sites at the next visit.

Thanks to cookies, a site remembers the user’s actions and preferences (such as login data, the chosen language, font sizes, other display settings, etc.) so that they do not need to be re-indicated when the user returns to visit this site or navigate from one page to another of it.

Cookies, therefore, are used to perform computer authentication, session monitoring, and storage of information regarding the activities of users who access a site and may also contain a unique identifier that allows keeping track of the user’s navigation within the site for statistical or advertising purposes.

During the navigation on a site, the user may receive on his computer or mobile device also cookies of sites or web servers other than the one he is visiting (so-called “third party” cookies).

Some operations could not be accomplished without the use of cookies, which in some cases are therefore technically necessary for the same operation of the site.

There are various types of cookies, depending on their characteristics and functions, and these can remain in the user’s computer or mobile device for different periods of time: so-called session cookies, which is automatically deleted when the browser closes; so-called persistent cookies, which remain on the user’s equipment up to a fixed deadline.

According to the regulations in force in Italy, the user’s express consent is not always required for the use of cookies. In particular, the “technical cookies”, i.e. those used only for the purpose of transmitting a communication on an electronic communication network, or to the extent strictly necessary to provide a service explicitly requested by the user, don’t request this consent.

In other words, these are the cookies that are indispensable to the operation of the site or necessary to perform tasks required by the user.

Among the technical cookies, which do not require an express consent for their use, the Guarantor for the protection of personal data in Italy (see Provision “Identification of the simplified modalities for the information and the acquisition of the consent for the use of the cookies” of May 8, 2014, hereinafter only “Provision”) also includes:

  • the “navigation or session cookies” (to authenticate);
  • the “analytics cookies” where used directly by the site manager to collect information, in aggregate form, on the number of users and how they visit the site;
  • the “feature cookies”, which allow the user to navigate according to a set of selected criteria (for example, the language, the selected products for the purchase) in order to improve the service.

For the “profiling cookies “, vice versa, i.e. those designed to create user profiles and used in order to send advertisements in line with the preferences expressed by the same in the context of the network browsing, is required a prior consent of the user.

Which Cookies We Use

No personal data about users is acquired by the site.

Cookies are not used for the transmission of personal information, nor are so-called persistent cookies of any kind, or systems for tracking users.

This site uses only cookies classified, according to their characteristics, in:

Navigation/session cookies

The use of the so-called navigation/session cookies – which are not stored persistently on the user’s computer and are deleted by closing the browser – is strictly limited to the transmission of session identifiers (consisting of numbers server-generated randoms) needed to enable safe and efficient browsing of the site.

In particular, the computer systems and software procedures that are involved in the operation of the Jesuit Refugee Service – Servizio dei Gesuiti per i Rifugiati web site acquire, during their normal exercise, certain data whose transmission is implicit in the use of the Internet communication protocols. These are informations that are not collected to be associated with identified data subjects, but which, by their very nature could, through elaborations and associations with data held by third parties, allow to identify users.

Analytics cookies

The use of the so-called analytics cookies is only for the purpose of deriving anonymous statistical informations on the use of the site (e.g. the number of visitors to the site, the origin of the visitors or the operating system used) and to check the correct site’s operation.

In this category of data there are the IP addresses or domain names of the computers used by the users who connect to the site, the addresses, in the Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) notation, of the requested resources, the time of the request, the method used when submitting the request to the server, the size of the file obtained in response, the numerical code indicating the status of the response given by the server (good end, error, etc.) and other parameters related to the operating system and the user’s computing environment.

Feature cookies

The use of the so-called feature cookies on the Jesuit Refugee Service – Servizio dei Gesuiti per i Rifugiati web site is only to allow the user to navigate in accordance with the chosen language (Italian or English).
