Cookies and privacy

Who we are

Our website address is: https://ricettedisicilia.site.

Comments

When visitors leave comments on the site, we collect the data shown in the comments form, as well as the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection.

An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you’re using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.

Media

If you upload images to the website, you should avoid uploading images containing embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Website visitors can download and extract any location data from images on the website.

What are cookies

To make this site work properly, we use data files called “cookies”.

A cookie is a small text file that is saved on your computer or mobile device when you visit the site.

Thanks to cookies, our blog Ricette Di Sicilia remembers your actions and preferences (e.g., login, language, font size, and other display settings) so that you don’t have to re-enter them when you return to the site or navigate from page to page.

What are the main types of cookies?

There are two types of cookies:

First-party cookies: subject to and readable only by the domain that created them;

Third-party cookies: subject to and created by external domains to the one the user is visiting.

These in turn can be:

a. Technical cookies

Technical cookies are those used solely to “carry out the transmission of a communication on an electronic communications network, or as strictly necessary for the provider of an information society service explicitly requested by the subscriber or user to provide the service.”

They are not used for additional purposes and are normally installed directly by the website owner or manager.

They can be divided into navigation or session cookies, which ensure normal navigation and use of the website (allowing, for example, to make a purchase or authenticate to access restricted areas).

b. Profiling cookies

Profiling cookies are aimed at creating user profiles and are used to send advertising messages in line with the preferences shown by the user while browsing the web.

Due to the particular invasiveness that such devices may have in users’ private sphere, European and Italian legislation requires that users must be adequately informed about their use and thus express their valid consent.

c. Analytics and performance cookies

These are cookies used to collect and analyze traffic and website use anonymously.

These cookies, while not identifying the user, allow, for example, to detect if the same user returns to connect at different times.

They also allow monitoring the system and improving its performance and usability.

Disabling these cookies can be executed without any loss of functionality.

What cookies does this site use

WordPress Cookies (Navigation cookies)

Cookies have the exclusive function of recognizing authenticated users to the site allowing navigation in restricted areas.

Performance cookies (Navigation cookies)

Cookies have the function of saving information on inline style sheets to speed up subsequent user visits and offer faster and less costly navigation.

Google Analytics (third-party cookies)

This site uses this type of web analytics service provided by Google Inc. to have aggregate statistical information useful for evaluating website use and activities carried out by the visitor.

Google stores information collected by the cookie on servers that may be located in the United States.

Google reserves the right to transfer information collected by its cookie to third parties where required by law or where the third party processes information on its behalf.

Google will not associate your IP address with any other data held by Google to obtain a more detailed user profile.

Further information about privacy management and/or ways to refuse or delete this type of cookie are available at: https://www.google.com/intl/it_it/analytics/learn/privacy.html.

Cookie Management

Users can decide whether to accept cookies using their browser settings.

Warning: total or partial disablement of technical cookies may compromise the use of site features reserved for registered users. Conversely, public content usability is possible even with cookies completely disabled.

Disabling “third-party” cookies does not affect browsing in any way.

Settings can be defined specifically for different websites and web applications. Furthermore, better browsers allow defining different settings for “first-party” and “third-party” cookies.

For example, in Firefox, through Tools → Options → Privacy menu, you can access a control panel where you can define whether to accept different types of cookies and proceed with their removal.

Embedded content from other websites

Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves exactly as if the visitor has visited the other website.

These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with them, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to those websites.

Who we share your data with

If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.

How long we retain your data

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.

For users who register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit this information.

What rights you have over your data

If you have an account on this site, or have left comments, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

Where we send your data

Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
