Cookies Policy

What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files that websites place on your device when you visit them. They serve various purposes, from making websites work properly to improving your experience and providing information to site owners.

Cookies can be "session" cookies, which expire when you close your browser, or "persistent" cookies, which remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them.

This policy explains what cookies we use on ragioprere.pro, why we use them, and how you can control them.

How We Use Cookies

We use cookies to make our website function properly, understand how visitors use the site, and improve your experience. Some cookies are essential for the site to work, while others serve additional purposes that require your consent.

When you first visit our website, you'll see a cookie banner explaining our use of cookies. You can accept all cookies or access our preference centre to make specific choices about which types of cookies you allow.

Types of Cookies We Use

Essential Cookies

These cookies are necessary for the website to function properly. Without them, certain features wouldn't work. Essential cookies don't require your consent because they're fundamental to providing the service you're requesting.

We use essential cookies to remember your cookie preferences, maintain security, enable core navigation features, and ensure the website displays correctly on your device.

These cookies typically expire when you close your browser or after a short period necessary for their function. You can block them through browser settings, but this may prevent parts of the website from working properly.

Analytics Cookies

Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website. They collect information about which pages people visit, how long they stay, what they click on, and whether they encounter any errors.

This information is aggregated and anonymous - we cannot identify individual visitors from analytics data. We use these insights to improve website structure, content, and functionality.

Analytics cookies require your consent. You can refuse them without affecting essential website functions, though it means we'll have less information about what works well and what needs improvement.

We retain analytics data for up to two years to identify trends and measure the effectiveness of changes we make to the website.

Marketing Cookies

Marketing cookies track your browsing activity to build a profile of your interests. This allows us to show you more relevant content and measure the effectiveness of marketing campaigns.

These cookies may be set by us or by third-party advertising partners. They can track your activity across different websites to build a broader picture of your interests.

Marketing cookies require your explicit consent. If you don't consent, you won't see personalised advertising based on your browsing behaviour, though you may still see generic advertisements.

Third-Party Cookies

Some cookies on our website are set by third-party services we use. These might include analytics providers, advertising networks, or embedded content from other platforms.

We carefully select third-party services and only work with providers who comply with data protection requirements. However, we don't control how third parties use cookies, and you should review their privacy policies for specific information.

Common third-party cookies on our site may come from web analytics services that help us understand visitor behaviour, or from content delivery networks that help the website load faster.

Specific Cookies We Use

Cookie Consent Management

Cookie Name: cookie_consent
Purpose: Stores your cookie preferences
Duration: 12 months
Type: Essential

This cookie remembers your choices about which cookies you've accepted or rejected, so we don't ask repeatedly each time you visit.

Session Management

Cookie Name: session_id
Purpose: Maintains your browsing session
Duration: Session (deleted when browser closes)
Type: Essential

This cookie helps the website remember your actions as you navigate between pages, preventing you from having to re-enter information.

Website Analytics

Cookie Name: analytics_session
Purpose: Tracks website usage patterns
Duration: 24 months
Type: Analytics

This cookie helps us understand which pages are most popular, how long people spend on the site, and what content is most engaging.

Managing Cookie Preferences

You can control cookies through our cookie preference centre, accessible via the banner that appears when you first visit or through a link in our website footer. This allows you to accept or reject different categories of cookies.

Your choices are saved so you won't be asked repeatedly, though you can return to the preference centre any time to change your selections.

Browser-Level Cookie Control

All modern browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can typically choose to block all cookies, allow only first-party cookies, or delete existing cookies.

Browser settings also usually allow you to be notified when a website tries to set a cookie, giving you the choice to accept or reject it.

However, blocking all cookies may prevent some websites from working properly. Essential features might not function, and you may need to re-enter information more frequently.

Each browser handles cookie management differently. Consult your browser's help documentation for specific instructions on controlling cookies.

Do Not Track Signals

Some browsers include a "Do Not Track" feature that signals to websites that you don't want to be tracked. However, there's no universal standard for how websites should respond to these signals.

Currently, our website doesn't respond to Do Not Track signals, though you can control tracking through our cookie preference centre and your browser's cookie settings.

Other Tracking Technologies

Besides cookies, we may use other tracking technologies such as web beacons (small transparent images embedded in web pages) or local storage (a way for websites to store data on your device).

These technologies serve similar purposes to cookies - enabling functionality, gathering analytics, or supporting marketing efforts. The same consent framework applies to these technologies as to cookies.

Mobile Applications

If we develop mobile applications in future, they may use technologies similar to cookies to store information and track usage. We'll provide clear information about data collection and obtain necessary permissions through the app.

Mobile operating systems typically provide settings to limit ad tracking or reset advertising identifiers, giving you control similar to browser cookie settings.

Impact of Blocking Cookies

If you block essential cookies, certain parts of our website may not function correctly. You might not be able to remember your preferences between visits, and some features may not work as intended.

Blocking analytics cookies means we'll have less information about how the website is used, potentially making it harder to identify and fix problems or make useful improvements.

Blocking marketing cookies means you won't see personalised content or advertisements based on your browsing behaviour, though you may still see generic marketing content.

Cookie Lifespan

Different cookies remain on your device for different periods. Session cookies expire when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain for a specified period, which could be days, months, or years depending on their purpose.

You can see the lifespan of specific cookies in the detailed information provided in our cookie preference centre. You can also delete cookies manually at any time through your browser settings.

Updates to Cookie Usage

We may update how we use cookies as our website evolves or as we adopt new technologies. When we make significant changes, we'll update this policy and the date at the top.

If we introduce new types of cookies that require consent, we'll notify you through our cookie banner and provide an opportunity to review and update your preferences.

Children's Privacy

Our website targets business clients and adult individuals. We don't knowingly collect information from children under 16. If you're under 16, please don't use our website without parental supervision.

Contact Information

If you have questions about our use of cookies or this policy, please contact us at [email protected].

The information collected through cookies constitutes personal data under UK data protection law. You have rights regarding this data, including rights of access, rectification, erasure, and objection.
