Cookies

Cookies are short fragments of text (letters and / or numbers) that allow the web server to store information on the client (the browser) to be reused during the same visit to the site (session cookies) or later, even at a distance of days (persistent cookies). Cookies are stored, based on user preferences, by the single browser on the specific device used (computer, tablet, smartphone).

In particular, this consent is not required for “technical cookies”, ie those used for the sole purpose of browsing or transmitting a communication on an electronic communications network, or what is strictly necessary to provide a service explicitly requested by the ‘user. In other words, the cookies that are essential for the operation of a website or to perform activities requested by the user.

On the other hand, your prior consent is required for the “analysis and performance” and “profiling” cookies, ie those aimed at providing analytical statistics on the use of a website or those that create profiles for users in order to send them advertisements in line with the preferences they have expressed while surfing the web.

Specifically, if you want to categorize the different types of cookies, you can identify:

  • Strictly necessary cookies: they are essential for the correct functioning of the site and have been used to manage the login and access to the reserved functions of the site (where present). The duration of cookies is strictly limited to the work session (once the browser is closed they are deleted). Their deactivation compromises the use of services accessible by login (where present). Without the use of these cookies, some operations could not be performed or would be more complex and / or less secure.
  • Analysis and performance cookies: these are cookies used to collect and analyze the traffic and use of the site anonymously. These cookies, even 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. The deactivation of these cookies can be used without any loss of functionality;
  • Profiling cookies: these are persistent cookies used to identify (anonymously and not) the user’s preferences and improve his browsing experience. The site does not use cookies of this type.

This website may use different types of cookies, namely:

  1. Technical cookies:cookies related to activities strictly necessary for the operation and provision of the service on the site. All technical cookies do not require consent; therefore they are automatically installed following access to the site. Without these cookies, we would not be able to provide the service we render.
  2. Third-party cookies: cookies from websites or servers other than HRV.SWISS Sagl.

A notable example is the presence of “social plugins” for Facebook, Twitter, Google+, Linkedin and YouTube. These are parts of the visited page generated directly by the aforementioned sites and integrated into the host site page. 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.
