DATA PROCESSING METHODS

Personal information is processed through automated systems for the time that is strictly necessary to attain the purposes for which the data has been collected and in order to fulfil any legal obligations. The information collected through the Website can be processed - even occasionally - by staff appointed by LIGATE for the processing and/or consulting firms to which LIGATE may outsource some services.

The personal data of third parties conferred through the registration procedure found in some areas of the website will be processed by LIGATE for the exclusive purpose of perfecting the user’s registration and enabling the services requested by the user. Personal and/or identification information required to access the Website and its services is limited to the minimum required to reach the user by e-mail and/or to carry out the services requested by the user.

Personal information provided by users via their requests of informative material (brochures, information, and so on) is used for the sole purpose of perfecting the requested service and is communicated to third parties only if necessary for said purpose (as with companies providing enveloping, labelling, shipping services).

Also, in case users wish to use communication services such as our e-newsletter, they will have the right to cancel your registration at any time by following the instructions provided in each individual communication. If you decide to cancel your subscription to a service or communication, LIGATE will immediately delete your data.

COOKIES

Cookies are small text files that are stored on users' computers by the websites they visit. They are used to make websites work and operate more efficiently and to provide information to the website owners.

The LIGATE Website uses technical cookies, Google Analytics cookies and third-party cookies, all of which are detailed below.

TECHNICAL COOKIES

They are installed by the Data Controller, and can be divided into browser or session cookies, enabling a correct browsing experience and use of the Website (for instance, they help define a browsing session or select the Website language or font size).

GOOGLE ANALYTICS COOKIES

Usage of the IP address of the visitor by Google Analytics Cookies
They are installed by the Data Controller, and can be divided into browser or session cookies, enabling a correct browsing experience and use of the Website (for instance, they help define a browsing session or select the Website language or font size).

Usage of the IP address of the visitor by Google Analytics Cookies
Each computer and device connected to the Internet is assigned a unique Internet protocol (IP) address, in numbers. Since such numbers are typically bundle-assigned to countries, an IP address can be used to identify the country, province and city from which a computer is connecting.
Google Analytics retrieves the IP addresses of the LIGATE Website visitors to provide an indication of their geographic location. This method is called “IP geolocation”. Google Analytics does not report information about the visitor actual IP addresses. The use of IP masking allows Google Analytics to communicate information using only a part of the IP address for geolocation.
Google may disclose information to third parties where required by law or where such third parties process information on Google’s behalf.

Browser add-on for deactivating Google Analytics Cookies
You can disable Google Analytics using a browser add-on component; it tells the JavaScript code from Google Analytics (ga.js) to specify that the information about the Website visit should not be sent to Google Analytics. The browser add-on does not prevent information from being sent to the Website itself. In addition, most browsers allow some control of most cookies through the browser settings.
If a user doesn’t wish to receive cookies of any type on their computer, the privacy protection level of the browser can be elevated using the appropriate option. However, some areas of the Website may not function properly if cookies are denied

Third party cookies
This is about cookies installed through the site by third parties. With regard to these cookies, the owner and editor of the site is just a technical intermediary and cannot define the procedures and purposes of the operation of said cookies. For information on third-party cookies in use, the reference is to what is shown on the sites of third-party suppliers.
