Cookie Policy for cdhls.org
Last updated: 10 June 2026
This Cookie Policy aims to describe the types of cookies and other tracking tools used by this Website, their purposes, retention times, and how the User can manage their preferences, in compliance with current regulations.
What are Tracking Tools and what are they for?
Cookies are small text strings that websites visited by the User send to their terminal (usually the browser), where they are stored to be retransmitted to the same sites on the User’s next visit. During navigation, the User may also receive cookies on their terminal that are sent from different websites or web servers (so-called “third parties”).
In this document, the term “Tracking Tools” refers to any technology (e.g., cookies, unique identifiers, web beacons, embedded scripts) that allows tracking of Users.
Types of Tracking Tools used by this Website
This Website uses the following categories of Tracking Tools. For tools that require consent, it is collected through a specific banner upon the first visit.
1. Technical (or Necessary) Tracking Tools – DO NOT REQUIRE CONSENT
These tools are essential for the proper functioning of the Website and to provide the service requested by the User. They are used, for example, to manage the browsing session, maintain secure access to reserved areas, or store preferences on cookie consent. Disabling them could compromise the use of the services. The installation of such tools does not require the prior consent of Users.
2. Analytical Tracking Tools – CONSENT REQUIRED (with exceptions)
These tools are used to collect information, in aggregate form, on the number of Users and how they visit the site (e.g., pages visited, time spent). They can be equated to technical tools, and therefore not require consent, only if:
- They are used solely to produce aggregate statistics in relation to a single site or mobile application;
- For third-party tools, at least the fourth component of the IP address is masked;
- Third parties refrain from combining such analytics with other processing or transmitting them to other third parties.
If these conditions are not met, your consent is required for their use.
3. Profiling (or Marketing) Tracking Tools – REQUIRE CONSENT
These tools are used to create user profiles to send advertising messages in line with the preferences expressed by the user while browsing. Your prior and specific consent is always required for their use.
List of Tracking Tools Used
Below is a detailed list of the first-party and third-party Tracking Tools installed on this Website. For each third-party tool, a link to the respective provider’s policy is provided.
How to manage preferences and give or withdraw consent
Upon first access to the Website, a banner is displayed containing a brief notice, a link to this extended policy, and commands to manage consent. You can:
- Click on “Accept all” to consent to the use of all Tracking Tools.
- Click on “Decline all” (or a similar command) to deny consent to all non-technical tools.
- Close the banner by clicking the “X” at the top right: this action is equivalent to denying consent and maintains the default settings (only technical tools active).
- Click on “Customize” (or “Manage preferences”) to access a dedicated area where you can choose analytically and granularly which purposes and which third parties to give consent to.
Simply scrolling the page is not considered a valid expression of consent.
You can withdraw or modify your consent at any time, easily and intuitively, through the “Review your cookie choices” link (or similar) in the footer of every page of the site.
Management through browser settings
The User can also manage cookie preferences directly through their browser settings and prevent – for example – third parties from installing them. Through browser preferences, it is also possible to delete cookies installed in the past. It is important to note that disabling all cookies may compromise the functionality of this site.
