Information regarding the website you are visiting and the Data Controller of this Website

This is the Privacy & Cookie Policy of the krakowmonamour.com website.

The owner of this website (hereinafter “Management”) is a natural person, Italian citizen and subject to Italian and European laws, and can be reached at: info krakowmonamour.com

This website is to be considered a personal blog dedicated to sharing the passion for travel and information that can be useful for travelers. Website Management cannot be held responsible for direct or indirect damage caused to the user’s equipment when accessing the site and cannot also be held responsible for indirect damages (such as for example a loss of market or loss of a chance) resulting from the use of the website.

TYPE OF DATA PROCESSED AND PURPOSE OF THE PROCESSING

1. Web browsing data

During normal operation, the IT systems and software procedures used to operate this website acquire some personal data which are implicitly transmitted in the use of Internet communication protocols. This is information that is not collected to be associated with identified interested parties, but due to its technical nature it could, through processing with data held by third parties, allow users / visitors to be identified (e.g. IP address, type of browser, etc.).
These data are used only for statistical information (therefore they are anonymous) and to check the correct functioning of the website and are deleted immediately after processing, except for any investigations of computer crimes against the site.

2. Cookies

2.1 General information on cookies
Cookies are small text files that the websites visited by users send to their terminals (usually to the browser), where they are stored and then retransmitted to the same sites on each subsequent visit through the same terminal. In addition, each site can allow the transmission of the so-called “third party” cookies, ie those generated by websites other than the one the user is visiting (through objects present in it such as banners, images, maps, sounds, specific links to web pages of other domains).
Depending on their duration, they are divided into session cookies (i.e. temporary cookies and automatically deleted from the terminal at the end of the browsing session, closing the browser) and persistent cookies (i.e. those that remain stored on the terminal until their expiry or cancellation by the user).

Cookies have different purposes. They are primarily used for the transmission of the communication or to provide the service requested by the user; more precisely, they allow you to enable and optimize the functioning of the website, perform IT authentications and prevent abuse, monitor sessions, improve the browsing experience of users, for example by keeping active the connection to reserved areas while browsing through the pages of the site without the need to re-enter User-Id and password and storing specific information regarding the users themselves (including preferences, the type of browser and computer used).

The aforementioned cookies are called “technical” (user consent is not required for their use), as without them some of the aforementioned operations could not be performed or would be more complex and/or less secure.

Otherwise, if the cookies are used for other purposes, typically for analysis of the behavior and sending of personalized promotional-advertising messages (so-called “profiling” cookies) or even just to obtain, through third party services, information in aggregate form on the number of users and how they visit the site (so-called “analytics cookies”), the user’s consent is required. In fact, before sending these cookies on the terminal, in accordance with current legislation, at the moment when you access the home page or other page of the site, a banner is immediately shown in the foreground with a first summary information on the use of the cookies and on the collection of consent, which the user can provide by continuing to browse by selecting an element below the banner or by closing the banner itself.

In any case, cookies can be read or modified only by the website that generated them; they cannot be used to retrieve any data from the user’s terminal and cannot transmit computer viruses. Some of the cookie functions can also be performed by other technologies; therefore, in the context of this web privacy policy, the term “cookie” refers to cookies and all similar technologies.

2.2 Use of cookies on this site

For this purpose we use the services of Cloudflare Inc (hereinafter “Cloudflare”), which offers a globally distributed content delivery network and dns, this technically routes the transfer of information between your browser and our website through Cloudflare’s network. This enables Cloudflare to serve as a filter between our servers and potentially malicious traffic from the Internet. In doing so, Cloudflare may also use cookies, but these are used solely for the purpose described here.

The use of Cloudflare is based on our legitimate interest in providing our website as error-free and secure as possible (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR).

2.3 “Third party” cookies
This Site also allows the transmission of third-party cookies to the user’s terminal, with which the Website Management collaborates or which services it uses.
