Cookies Privacy

The ICDQ site uses or could use cookies and similar technologies to guarantee the correct functioning of the procedures and improve the experience of using online applications.
This document provides detailed information on the use of cookies and similar technologies, how they are used by ICDQ and how to manage them.

Definition
Cookies are small text strings that the sites visited by the user send to his terminal (usually to the browser), where they are stored before being re-transmitted to the same sites at the next visit by the same user. Cookies are stored, based on user preferences, by the individual browser on the specific device used (computer, tablet, smartphone).

Types of cookies
Based on their characteristics and use, cookies can be divided into different categories:

Strictly necessary cookies
These are essential cookies to manage login and access to reserved functions of the site, typically for updating pages by web editorial staff. The duration of these cookies is strictly limited to the work session (they are deleted when the browser is closed).
Their deactivation compromises the use of the services accessible from the login. The public part of the Accredia sites, however, remains normally usable.

"Technical" cookies (analysis and performance)
They are cookies used to collect and analyze traffic and use of the site anonymously. These cookies, without identifying the user, allow, for example, to detect if the same user returns to connect at different times. They also allow you to monitor the system and improve its performance and usability.
Some pages of the ICDQ site may store user preferences regarding font size and preferred display mode (graphic, high contrast or textual) for the purposes of content accessibility. The deactivation of these cookies can be performed without any loss of functionality.

Profiling cookies
These are permanent cookies used to identify (anonymously or otherwise) the user's preferences and improve their browsing experience. ICDQ does not use cookies of this type.

Duration of cookies
Some cookies (session cookies) remain active only until the browser is closed or the logout command is executed. Other cookies "survive" when the browser is closed and are also available on subsequent visits by the user.
These cookies are called persistent and their duration is set by the server at the time of their creation. In some cases a deadline is set, in other cases the duration is unlimited.
By browsing through the pages of the site you can interact with sites managed by third parties who can create or modify profiling cookies.

Management of cookies
The user can decide whether or not to accept cookies using their browser settings. Total or partial disabling of technical cookies does not compromise the use of the website's functionality.
The setting can be defined specifically for different websites and web applications.

Google Analytics protects the confidentiality of your data in various ways:
The Google Analytics Terms of Service, which all Google Analytics customers must comply with, prohibit the submission of personal information to Google Analytics. Personal information includes any data that Google can use to likely identify an individual, including, but not limited to, names, email addresses, or billing information. It is not permitted to provide Google Analytics data to third parties without the customer's consent, except in some specific circumstances, such as when required by law.
Google's teams of expert security engineers protect your data from external threats. Internal access to data (e.g. by employees) is strictly regulated and subject to employee access controls and procedures.

Third party cookies (social)
By visiting a website you may receive cookies both from the site visited (“owners”) and from sites managed by other organizations (“third parties”). An example are the "social plugins" of Facebook, Twitter, Google+ and LinkedIn. These are parts of the visited page generated directly by the aforementioned sites and integrated into the page of the host site. The most common use of social plugins is aimed at sharing content on social networks.
The presence of these plugins involves the transmission of cookies to and from all sites managed by third parties. The management of information collected by "third parties" is governed by the relevant information to which please refer.
