USE OF COOKIES BY CARBONSINKGROUP s.r.l.

When you visit https://www.carbonsink.it we collect standard login information and details of visitor behaviour patterns to obtain information such as the number of visitors to different sections of the site. We collect this information in a way that does not allow the individual to be identified. We make no attempt to discover the identity of visitors to our website and do not associate any data collected through the site with any information from any source that could identify an individual. If we need to acquire personally identifiable information through our website, we specify this in the “contact us” section of the website, clearly stating how we collect personally identifiable information and the purposes for which it is collected.

The following lists illustrate the cookies we use and their purpose.

GOOGLE ANALYTICS

Google Analytics is a web analytics tool provided by Google Inc. (“Google”) that helps Carbonsinkgroup s.r.l. understand how our website is used. Information about your use of our website, including your IP address, may be transmitted to and stored on Google’s servers. We use this information to compile reports and to improve the site. The cookies collect information in an anonymous form, including the number of visitors to the site, where visitors have come from and the pages they visited. Google Analytics collects the original cookies, device/browser data, IP address and site/app activity to measure and generate statistics about user interactions on websites and/or apps using Google Analytics.

Google Analytics mainly uses original cookies to generate reports on the interactions of visitors (users) with the websites of Google Analytics clients. Users can deactivate cookies or delete them individually.

In addition, Google Analytics supports an optional browser add-on that, once installed and activated, disables measurement by Google Analytics for any site visited by a user. Please note that this add-on only deactivates measurement by Google Analytics.

If a site or app uses Google Analytics for apps or Google Analytics SDKs for Firebase, Google Analytics collects an app instance identifier, which is a randomly generated number that identifies a unique app installation. Each time a user resets their ad identifier (Ad ID on Android and ID for Advertisers on iOS), the app instance identifier is also reset.

If sites or apps have implemented Google Analytics with other Google advertising products, such as Google Ads, additional advertising identifiers may be collected. Users can deactivate this function and manage the settings for this cookie with Ads Settings.

Google Analytics also collects Internet Protocol (IP) addresses to ensure the security of the service and to tell website owners from which country, state or city in the world their users come (also known as ‘IP geolocation’). Google Analytics provides a method for masking the IPs that are collected (described below), but please note that website owners have access to their users’ IP addresses even if they do not use Google Analytics.
