This Cookie Policy explains how Istituto Discografico Italiano (the “Site”, “we”, “us”) uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit idiscd.it or any related pages.
Cookies are small text files that websites place on your device (computer, tablet, smartphone) while you browse. They are widely used to make websites work, to remember your preferences, and to collect aggregated information about how visitors use the site.
In addition to cookies, we may use similar technologies such as pixels or local storage. For simplicity, we refer to all of these as “cookies” in this policy.
Some cookies are strictly necessary for the proper functioning of the Site, while others are used only with your consent, for example to measure audience statistics or to show content from external platforms.
You can find below more details on the types of cookies we use, the purposes for which we use them and how you can manage your choices.
When you browse this Site, we may place or allow third parties to place the following categories of cookies on your device:
- Strictly necessary cookies: these cookies are essential to allow the Site to function and to provide the services you request (for example, to remember your cookie choices or to ensure the security of the Site). They are set in response to actions made by you and do not require your consent.
- Preference or functionality cookies: these cookies remember choices you make (such as language selection or display settings) and allow us to offer enhanced, more personalised features. If you disable them, some parts of the Site may not work as intended.
- Analytics or statistics cookies: these cookies help us understand how visitors use the Site, for example which pages are visited most often or how users move around the Site. We use this information in aggregated form to improve the performance and content of our pages. Where required by law, analytics cookies are used only with your consent and, where possible, are configured to reduce the ability to identify individual visitors.
- Marketing and third-party cookies: these cookies may be set by third-party services that appear on our pages, such as embedded audio or video players, social media widgets or external analytics and tracking tools. They can be used by those third parties to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant content on other websites or platforms. If you do not allow these cookies, some external content or features may not be displayed correctly.
The specific cookies that are active on the Site, their duration and origin (first-party or third-party) may change over time as we update our services. Where a detailed cookie list is available (for example in the cookie banner or a dedicated settings panel), it will prevail over this general description.
When you first visit the Site, a cookie banner or notice informs you that we use cookies and gives you the option to accept or refuse non-essential cookies (such as analytics or marketing cookies).
Strictly necessary cookies are always active because they are required for the Site to operate. All other categories of cookies are used only if you give your consent through the banner or the cookie settings panel, where available.
You can at any time:
- Review or change your choices by reopening the cookie settings panel, where available on the Site, or by clearing cookies in your browser so that the banner is displayed again;
- Withdraw your consent for non-essential cookies, without affecting the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal;
- Continue browsing with only strictly necessary cookies if you choose to reject or disable all other categories.
Your choices may apply only to the browser and device you are using. If you use multiple devices or browsers to access the Site, you will need to set your preferences separately on each one.
In addition to the tools we provide on the Site, you can control and delete cookies directly through the settings of your web browser. Most browsers allow you to:
- view which cookies are stored on your device and delete them individually;
- block cookies from specific websites or from all websites;
- block third-party cookies;
- delete all cookies when you close your browser.
The procedures for managing cookies and other storage technologies vary depending on the browser you use. You can find more information by visiting the help pages of your browser, for example:
- Google Chrome: Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and other site data
- Mozilla Firefox: Options/Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data
- Apple Safari: Preferences/Settings → Privacy
- Microsoft Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions
For further guidance, you can also consult independent resources that provide explanations on how to manage cookies for the most common browsers.
Please note that if you block or delete certain cookies, the Site may not function correctly and some services or features may be unavailable.
This Site may include content or functions provided by third parties, such as:
- web analytics services that help us measure visits and usage patterns of the Site;
- embedded audio or video players and widgets from music streaming or download platforms (for example, players used to listen to albums or tracks);
- content from external platforms, such as maps or media, and social media sharing tools.
These third parties may set and read their own cookies on your device, over which we have limited control. The use of data collected through such cookies is governed by the privacy and cookie policies of the respective third parties.
Where possible, we configure these services so that they use cookies only after you have given your consent through the cookie banner or settings panel. If you prefer not to accept third-party cookies, some embedded content or features may not be available or may function in a limited way.
For more detailed information on how these third parties process your personal data and use cookies, we recommend consulting the respective privacy and cookie notices published on their websites or platforms.
This Cookie Policy should be read together with our Privacy Policy, which provides more detailed information on how Istituto Discografico Italiano processes personal data, the legal bases for processing, your rights as a data subject and how to exercise them.
If you have any questions about this Cookie Policy or our use of cookies on the Site, you can contact us by email at: dprefumo@alice.it.
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time, for example to reflect changes to the cookies we use or to comply with new legal or technical requirements. The updated version will be published on this page and will indicate the date of the last revision.
We encourage you to review this page periodically to stay informed about our use of cookies and related technologies.
