They are used to perform computer authentication, monitoring session and storage of site information (without the use of "technical" cookies some operations would be very complex or impossible to perform). During the browsing, the User can also receive cookies that are sent by "third parties", or from different websites or web servers, on which may reside some elements (such as images, sounds, maps, links to other domains) that are on the site that the User is visiting.

Purposes of using cookies

I. Session and permanent cookies

Cookies may expire at the end of a browsing session – the period between the opening of a website window by the User and its closing – or they may be stored for a longer period of time.

• Session cookies: they are deleted and they disappear from the device when the User leaves the website or closes the browser used for browsing; they expire when the browser session ends and therefore they are not kept for long.
• Permanent cookies: they remain on the device even after the User has left the website. These cookies are stored until the User erases them or until they reach their expiry date set by the site manager.

II. First party and Third party cookies

We define a "first-party" or "third-party" cookies starting from the website or domain from which it originates.

• First-party cookies: these are cookies set directly by the website visited by the User or by the website whose address was typed by the User (displayed in the URL window).
• Third-party cookies: these are cookies set by a different website from the one visited by the User. We speak of a third-party cookie in reference to the hypotheses in which the User visits a website and a third party – different from the operator of the site visited – releases a cookie through the visited site.

  As part of third-party analytical cookies, Certego uses:

  • Google Analytics service (provided by Google Inc. or "Google") respecting the following conditions: taking measures that reduce the identifying power of these cookies by masking portions of the IP. Certego has also accepted the amendment on data protection with Google Inc. whereby the latter undertakes to use such cookies exclusively for the provision of the service, to store them separately and not to "enrich" or not to "cross them" with other information available to it.

The IP addresses are truncated or hashed (when used for reaching members across devices), and members’ direct identifiers are removed within seven days in order to make the data pseudonymous. This remaining pseudonymized data is then deleted within 180 days.LinkedIn doesn't share the personal data of members with Certego, but it only provide reports and alerts about the website audience and ad performance without identify the users. LinkedIn also provide retargeting for website visitors, enabling to show personalized ads off Certego website by using this data, but without identifying the member.
