The Comunione e Liberazione website uses cookies and similar technologies to ensure the proper functioning of procedures and improve the user experience of online applications.

This document provides detailed information on the use of technologies to enable the Data Controller to collect and save information (e.g. cookies) or use resources on the User's device (e.g. by running a script) when the latter interacts with this Website. For the sake of simplicity, these technologies are hereinafter referred to as "Tracking Tools".

Some of the purposes for which tracking tools are used require the User's consent. The acquisition and withdrawal of consent are managed in accordance with this Privacy Policy through forms provided by the Data Controller, as described in detail in the section "Cookie Management".

The Comunione e Liberazione website uses tracking tools managed directly by the Data Controller ("first party tools") and tracking tools relating to services provided by third parties ("third-party tools") managed by the individual service providers.

Some cookies and tracking tools expire at the end of the User's browsing session. Others persist as deemed necessary by the Data Controller or each third-party provider.

With regard to third-party tracking tools, Users will find more detailed and updated information on the duration, plus other information - such as the presence of other tracking tools - in the privacy policies of the respective third-party providers (through the links provided).

The individual who uses this Website and who is the same as the Data Subject unless otherwise specified.

Data Subject
The natural person to whom the Personal Data refer.

Data Processor (or Processor)
The natural person, legal entity, public administration or any other entity that processes Personal Data on behalf of the Data Controller, as set out in this privacy policy.

Data Controller (or Controller)
The natural or legal person, public authority, service or other body that, individually or jointly with others, determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data and the tools employed, including the security measures relating to the operation and use of this Website.

The Data Controller, unless otherwise specified, is the Associazione Laicale Fraternità di Comunione e Liberazione, as identified at the bottom of this Privacy Policy, owner of this Website.

This Website (or this Application)
The hardware or software tool by which Users' Personal Data are collected and processed.

Service
The Service provided by this Website as defined in the terms and conditions (if any) on this website / application.

Cookies
Cookies are tracking tools that consist of small pieces of data stored inside the User's browser. The sites you visit send Cookies to your device which are stored (usually in your web browser) and then resent to the same websites on subsequent visits. Cookies can be divided into different categories depending on their characteristics and uses:

Technical Cookies and Other Technical Identifiers
These are defined by the Guarantor as used for the sole purpose of "ensuring the transmission of data over an electronic communications network, or to the extent strictly necessary for the provider of an information society service explicitly requested by the contracting party or user to provide such service".

This first category of cookies is indispensable. If deactivated use of the services provided by the website is compromised.
According to the Guarantor, their installation does not require the user's consent, but they must be explicitly indicated in the Privacy Policy.

Analytical Cookies that can be Assimilated to Technical Cookies
According to the aforementioned Guarantor guidelines, our own or third-party analytical cookies can be assimilated to technical cookies and other identifiers only if:
  • they are only used to generate aggregate statistics and in relation to a single site or mobile application;
  • at least the fourth component of the IP address is masked for third parties;
  • the third party does not combine the minimised cookie analytics with other processing data (e.g. customer files or statistics on visits to other websites) or pass them on to other third parties. However, third parties are permitted to produce statistics with data from several domains, websites or apps that can be traced back to the same publisher or business.


This second category of cookies is used to monitor system activity or required to perform certain operations offered by this Website (e.g. improve the User's browsing experience).

Others Cookies, in particular Profiling Cookies and Analytical Cookies Not Assimilable To Technical Cookies
This third category concerns all cookies other than the technical or assimilated cookies defined above, including profiling cookies, which may also be used for promotional purposes.

They are only installed with the specific consent of the User, given in the manner described in the section "Cookie Management".

Some cookies (session cookies) remain active only until the browser is closed or until logout. Other cookies 'survive' when you close your browser and are available on subsequent visits. These cookies are called persistent and their duration is fixed by the server at the time of their creation. Browsing through the site it.clonline.org, you may interact with sites operated by third parties who may create or modify persistent and profiling cookies according to different rules.

Cookie Management
Technical cookies and analytical cookies assimilated by the Guarantor to technical cookies, as defined above, are automatically installed during navigation, regardless of the User's consent.

The User can disable these cookies by using the browser's settings. The total or partial disabling of cookies may compromise the use of this Website's functionalities, but will not prevent its navigation.

All other types of cookies are only installed if the User unequivocally expresses his or her specific consent.

Consent can be given by clicking on the cookie banner that opens when accessing the Website, or in the sections of the Website to which the banner refers, which are also accessible from a link at the bottom of each page.

In this banner and in these sections, each User can accept the installation of cookies other than technical cookies and cookies assimilated to technical cookies by the Guarantor.

As a default Website setting, if the User does not activate these cookies using the specific commands, cookies other than technical cookies or cookies assimilated to technical cookies will not be installed.

In the sections to which the banner or the link at the bottom of each page refers, the User will also find controls to modify his / her choices, revoke consent previously given to the installation of cookies or give consent to the installation of previously unauthorised cookies.

Expressing a preference on the banner is not a precondition for continued navigation.

The User may simply close the banner and continue browsing; in this case no cookies other than technical or analytical cookies assimilated to technical cookies will be installed.

The above does not apply to any interactions that the Website permits - at the User's free discretion - with external websites or platforms (social media networks, YouTube, etc.).

The User should be aware that the Controller has no control over and assumes no responsibility for such third-party sites and platforms, the cookies that they may use and install on the User's computer, and in general on compliance with Reg. (EU) 679/2016 or the Provision of the Guarantor by third-party operators of said sites.
The User accesses these sites and external content at his / her own risk and is responsible for checking the policies on personal data protection and cookies directly with the third-party operators of such sites and external platforms.

The fact that the Controller may borrow some information from the privacy policies of said third parties in this Policy does not imply any assumption of responsibility by the Controller regarding the reliability of the same or other information and does not in any way exempt the User from directly verifying it.

Cookies on external websites must be managed exclusively with the tools made available by the third-party operators or by using the User's browser settings to disable them, or in any case by following the instructions of the respective third-party operators.

Tracking Tools
A Tracking Tool is any technology (cookies, scripts, etc.) that allows users to be tracked by collecting or storing data on the User's device.

The following section of this Policy sets out in detail the cookies and third-party cookies installed by the Website and their characteristics.

How to Manage Preferences and Give or Withdraw Consent


Preferences relating to tracking tools can be set at various levels. Firstly, Users can set their devices to completely prevent the use or storage of tracking tools regardless of the website browsed. Depending on the device, this can be done directly from the operating system or browser options.

In addition, as indicated in the "Cookie Management" section above, the Website allows Users who so wish to consent to the use of tracking tools whose use is consent dependent. Users can give or withdraw this consent by setting their preferences from the banner or by clicking on the consent management link in the banner itself or at the bottom of every page. The tracking tools preference widget allows the User to learn more and choose from the available options.

Specific browser or device functions also allow you to remove any previously saved tracking tools (e.g. by deleting your browsing history).

Preferences regarding third-party tracking tools can be managed by Users:
  • if the third party is one of the Controller's suppliers, by using the methods described in the "Cookie Management" section above, or if the User so chooses using the tools described in the third party's privacy policy or by contacting them directly.
  • if the third party is the operator of an external site or content to which the Controller merely provides a link on the Website, using the tools described in the third party's privacy policy or by contacting them directly. It is possible to give or withdraw consent that may have been given initially in the manner indicated by the third party; the User is directly responsible for verifying this.


How to Manage Cookies in Popular Browsers
The following links provide information on how to manage cookies in some of the most popular browsers:


Users may in any case manage certain Mobile Tracking Tools via dedicated device settings (mobile advertising settings or tracking in general).

Advertising Industry Initiatives for Consent Management
In addition to the information provided in this policy, we recommend the use of third-party services that allow you to manage the tracking preferences of most advertising tools.

YourOnlineChoices (EU), Network Advertising Initiative (USA), Digital Advertising Alliance (USA), DAAC (Canada) and DDAI (Japan) contain a lot of information about cookies as well as the steps you can take to protect your privacy on the Internet.

Given that the use of third-party tracking tools on this Website cannot be fully controlled by the Controller and the Controller has only the information, representations and warranties that are provided by the third party, any reference to third-party tracking tools is purely indicative. For full information in addition to that provided here, Users are therefore advised to read the privacy policy of the third-party services mentioned in this document.

In view of the objective complexity of identifying tracking technologies, Users are invited to contact the Controller if they wish to receive further information on their use on this Website.
