COOKIE POLICY
INTRODUCTION
This policy is provided to users pursuant to the provisions of the Italian Data Protection Authority and in compliance with Article 13 of EU Regulation No. 679/2016 (the GDPR or the Regulation).
This policy is prepared and updated by the Data Controller, IHE Tour Operator S.r.l.
Any requests regarding the use of cookies on this website can be sent to the email address [email protected]. This email address can also be used to exercise the user's rights pursuant to Article 15 et seq. of the Regulation, as well as to request an updated list of any designated Data Processors.
The processing is carried out under the authority of the Data Controller, only by specifically appointed, authorized, and trained persons, and the data is not disclosed.
WHAT ARE COOKIES
Cookies are data that can be sent from a website to the user's device. Typically, this data is stored on the browser used for navigation. The website that transmitted the data can subsequently read and record the cookies installed on the device to obtain various types of information, depending on the type of cookie used.
THE DIFFERENT TYPES OF COOKIES
Cookies are mainly divided into two categories: technical cookies and profiling cookies.
Technical cookies are generally necessary to enable navigation and the proper functioning of the site. Without these cookies, the user may experience technical problems when using the site. For these reasons, these cookies can be used without the user's prior consent, as they are necessary.
Technical cookies are further divided into: navigation cookies (which ensure proper use of the website), functionality cookies (which allow the user to have a better browsing experience based on selectable criteria such as language), and analytics cookies (which allow statistical analysis of the number of users and, in general, site usage).
Profiling cookies, on the other hand, are generally used to memorize the user's choices during browsing and allow the delivery of ad hoc content (usually advertising), i.e., tailored to the user's previous choices.
There is a further subdivision between first-party cookies (sent directly from the site and managed by the data controller) and third-party cookies (sent from third-party sites, external to the one being browsed).
COOKIES USED BY THIS SITE

DATA TRANSFER
When selecting third parties, the Data Controller relies exclusively on service providers that offer appropriate security measures to ensure compliance with the standards set by European legislation on the processing of personal data (EU Regulation 679/2016 or GDPR). However, the profiling cookies mentioned above, which are useful for enhancing the site's functions and ensuring an optimal user experience, may involve the transfer of certain data to servers located outside the European Union. In this case, despite implementing all possible security measures, the Data Controller cannot guarantee with absolute certainty that such data will be processed correctly and in a respectful manner by third parties located outside the European Union.
INFORMATION SECURITY
Specific security measures are implemented to prevent so-called "data breaches," i.e., the loss of data, its misuse, or unauthorized access. However, the Data Controller is not responsible for (or is not responsible for) any data breaches that may occur when communications are sent via email/webmail, which may transit through multiple countries before being delivered to the recipients.
USER RIGHTS
The user may exercise the rights set forth in Article 15 et seq. of EU Regulation No. 679/2016 at any time. The user may request from the Data Controller access to their personal data and related information; the rectification of inaccurate data or the completion of incomplete data; the erasure or restriction of processing of their personal data; and the right to object at any time to the processing of their personal data in the event of specific circumstances affecting them. Withdraw your consent at any time, limited to cases where the processing is based on consent: processing based on consent and carried out prior to its withdrawal remains lawful.
Requests can be addressed to the Data Controller at the email address [email protected].
You may also lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, such as the Italian Data Protection Authority (www.garanteprivacy.it).
