Cookies policy

The necessary cookies help to make a website usable by enabling basic functions, such as page navigation, interaction with chat assistance and access to restricted areas. The website cannot function properly without these cookies.

Statistical cookies help website owners to understand how visitors interact with sites by collecting and transmitting information anonymously.

Marketing cookies are used to offer promotional proposals with non-invasive, relevant and engaging ads. Therefore, of greater value for the individual user and third-party advertisers.

Cookies and privacy: instructions for use

In accordance with the Regulations on personal data protection and the provisions of the Privacy Guarantor Authority, regarding navigation cookies, as Data Controller, Sir Safety System S.p.a. intends to describe the types and purposes of cookies installed on www.sirsafety.com, as well as to describe and define those of any third parties involved.

The cookies used do not record any information that can personally identify a user. If desired, it is possible to disable the cookie use by customising the settings of the browser used during navigation or by adjusting the relevant settings of the device used, by setting the cancellation of all the cookies or by activating a warning message when the cookies are stored.

What are cookies? What are they used for? Do they represent potential risks to our privacy? How can we protect our personal data when we browse the web?

These are some of the questions answered in the new video tutorial created by the Privacy Guarantor.

What are cookies?

Cookies are information entered on your browser when you visit a website or when you use a social network on your PC, smartphone or tablet.

Every cookie contains various data, such as the name of the server it comes from, a numerical identifier, etc.

Cookies can remain in the system for the duration of a session (i.e. until the browser used for web browsing is closed) or for long periods, and may contain a unique identification code.

What are the cookies used for?

Some cookies are used to perform computer authentication, session monitoring and storage of specific information about users who access a web page.

These cookies, so-called technical, are often useful, because they can make browsing and use of the web faster, because, for example, they intervene to facilitate certain procedures when you shop online, when you log in to restricted access areas or when a website automatically recognises the language you usually use.

A particular type of cookie, called analytics, is then used by website managers to collect information, in aggregate form, on the number of users and how they visit the site, and then process general statistics on the service and its use.

Other cookies can instead be used to monitor and profile users while browsing, study their movements and habits of web consultation or consumption (what they buy, what they read, etc.), also to send adverts of targeted and customised services (so-called Behavioural Advertising). In this case, we are talking about profiling cookies.

For example: Have you ever visited a service site, used your webmail or accessed your page on a social network and found advert banners related to your latest web searches or your last purchase made on the Internet?

This happens because those web spaces are designed to recognise your PC or other terminal you use to connect to the web (smartphone, tablet), and possibly send you “profiled” promotional messages based on your searches and your use of the Internet.

A web page may also contain cookies from other sites and contained in various elements hosted on the page itself, such as advert banners, images, videos, etc. In these cases, we are talking about so-called third-party cookies, which are usually used for profiling purposes.

Therefore, the cookies you download on your PC, smartphone and tablet can also be read by other people, other than those who manage the web pages you visit.

Cookies and privacy

Given the particular invasiveness that profiling cookies (especially third-party ones) can have in the private sphere of users, European and Italian standards require the user to be adequately informed about their use and express their valid consent to the insertion of cookies on your terminal.

In particular, with the provision “Identification of simplified procedures for the information note and acquisition of consent for the use of cookies” of 8 May 2014 [doc web n. 3118884] the Guarantor for the protection of personal data has established that when you access the home page or another page of a website that uses cookies for profiling and marketing purposes, a clearly visible banner must immediately appear, which clearly indicates:

1. that the site uses profiling cookies to send targeted advert messages;
2. that the site also allows sending “third party” cookies, if this type of cookie is used, i.e. cookies installed by a different site via the site you are visiting;
3. a link to a broader information note, with indication of the use of cookies sent by the site, where it is possible to deny consent to their installation directly or by connecting to the various sites in the case of “third-party” cookies;
4. indication that by continuing to browse (for example, by accessing another area of the site or by selecting an image or a link), you consent to the use of cookies.

In any case, in addition to the safeguards provided, you also have other options to browse without cookies

Block third-party cookies

Third-party cookies are generally not essential for browsing, so you can reject them by default, through specific functions of your browser.

Enable the Do Not Track option

The Do Not Track option is found in most of the latest generation browsers. Websites designed to respect this option, when enabled, should automatically stop collecting some of your browsing data. As mentioned, however, not all websites are set up to respect this option (discretionary)

Enable the “anonymous browsing” mode

Using this function, you can browse without leaving a trace of the browsing data in the browser. The sites will not remember you, the pages you visit will not be stored in the history and the new cookies will be deleted.

However, the anonymous browsing function does not guarantee anonymity on the Internet, because it only serves not to keep browsing data in the browser, whereas your browsing data will continue to remain available to website managers and connectivity providers.

Delete cookies directly

There are specific functions to do this in all browsers. However, remember that new cookies are downloaded every time you connect to the Internet, so the deletion should be performed regularly. If desired, some browsers offer automated systems for the periodic deletion of cookies.

Below are some brief instructions on how to change the cookie settings via the tools of your browser, with particular reference to the four most popular navigation programmes:
