What are Cookies?
Alioth Srl uses Cookies on its website. Cookies are small text files that websites store on users’ devices. They contain information about browsing activity that can be read by the website on subsequent visits. We use different types of cookies on our website:
1. Technical or essential Cookies.
Technical cookies are necessary to enable communication over an electronic network or to provide services explicitly requested by the user. These cookies do not require prior consent and are automatically installed on the device when the website is accessed.
2. Analytics Cookies
Analytics/statistical cookies are used to count visits and collect information about website traffic, allowing us to measure performance and assess the effectiveness of the site.
They help us understand how users interact with the site — for example, by tracking the number of visitors (potentially broken down by geographic area), identifying the most visited pages or sections, and analyzing user behavior.
3. Functional Cookies
These cookies support specific features, such as enabling content sharing on social media platforms or storing the user’s language preference.
4. Profiling or advertising cookies
Profiling Cookies are used to associate specific, recurring behaviors or actions—linked to identified or identifiable users—with defined usage patterns.
This allows us to group users into homogeneous clusters of varying sizes in order to personalize services and deliver targeted advertising aligned with the user’s browsing preferences.
The installation of cookies other than technical ones requires the user’s consent.
Cookies are also categorized as first-party or third-party Cookies, depending on whether they are managed and controlled directly by the website being visited, or by external third parties.
For information about third-party Cookies, you should refer to the privacy policies provided by those third parties.
Below is a detailed list of the Cookies used on our website:
Joint controllership of data for the Facebook page and social media buttons
The social media buttons displayed in the footer of our website allow you to interact with social networks. These are direct links to our official Facebook and LinkedIn pages.
With regard to the data processing that takes place once you access our social media pages, please note that Alioth acts as joint controller of statistical data together with Meta and LinkedIn. This is due to the “Insights” functionality provided by these platforms, which offers aggregated data on user interactions with the page.
You can find the joint controllership agreements here:
- With Meta Platforms Ireland Limited: https://www.facebook.com/legal/terms/page_controller_addendum
- With LinkedIn Ireland Unlimited Company: https://legal.linkedin.com/pages-joint-controller-addendum
Data processing may take place outside the European Union, as both Meta and LinkedIn are based in the United States. The data transfer is carried out either on the basis of an adequacy decision for the U.S. or under the Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the European Commission.
As for any data processing carried out by the social media platforms after the transfer, please refer exclusively to the privacy policies provided by Meta and LinkedIn, as they act as independent data controllers:
- Meta Platforms: https://www.facebook.com/privacy/explanation
- LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/legal/privacy-policy
