In extreme summary, cookies are strings of text which allow some information to be stored in the hard disk of the user accessing the website, allowing Polynt to provide functions, for example remembering the parameters of some searches which were made, the total number of visitors to the website, preferences and habits of the connected user (e.g. language, search engine, etc.) in order to improve navigation of the website.
Cookies are divided into technical (or temporary) cookies and profiling (or permanent) cookies.

– Technical cookies: these are fundamental for navigating within the website, allowing performance of IT authentication, session monitoring and memorising information on the visited website. There are three subcategories of technical cookies:

o Navigation cookies: these allow normal navigation and use of the website
o Analytic cookies: used to gather information, in an aggregate form, on the number of users and how they visit the website
o Functional cookies: these allow the user to navigate according to a series of selected criteria (e.g. language)

– Profiling cookies: are designed to create user profiles to send advertising messages in line with the preferences shown by the same whilst surfing the net. These are cookies which are stored in the user’s hard disk also after the end of the navigation. Use of such cookies requires consent by the data subject since there are more criticalities involved in terms of privacy protection.

The Polynt website (http://www.polynt.com) uses only technical cookies ad does not use any cookies for purposes of profiling and/or marketing.
