The information encoded in cookies may also include personal data; in particular, the IP address from which the connection is made, a username, an e-mail address or a unique identifier.
4. WHAT TYPES OF COOKIES DO WE USE?
We use session cookies that are automatically deleted from your device when you finish browsing the Website, and persistent cookies that remain stored on your device after the browsing session is over.
ABI Lab uses first-party cookies (i.e., having the same domain as the Website), as well as third-party cookies (i.e., cookies originating from other websites).
ABI Lab uses technical cookies - the installation of which does not require your consent - in order to ensure the correct functionality of the Website and in order to provide users with the requested services.
Moreover, ABI Lab uses cookies provided by Matomo in order to measure the performance and improve the functionality of our Website. The solutions provided by the provider anonymize the IP address of the device from which the connection is made - thus not allowing you to be identified - and allow only aggregate data to be obtained for statistical analysis of the performance of the Website.
You can decide, at any time, to stop the Data Controller's use of the cookieless solutions provided by Matomo by clicking on the button below; by unchecking the option, you choose to prevent the Website from taking into account your actions in the context of statistical analyses on aggregated or anonymised information used to measure the Website's performance and create a better browsing experience:
ABI Lab, also, uses advertising cookies for promotional purposes. To ensure maximum transparency and freedom of choice, ABI Lab will ask for your consent before installing such solutions. These cookies are functional for carrying out - where applicable, also in co-ownership with each of the social media platforms and/or each of the technology service providers listed herein by way of non-exhaustive list: Meta Platforms Ireland Ltd. - promotional and marketing activities relating to all of the Data Controller's products or services and events, including by means of promotional messages on the pages of the social media platform or technology service provider or within advertising space on other websites.
Co-processing with each social media or technology service provider - which is only possible if you have given your specific consent to the installation of cookies for targeted advertising and other tracking tools with similar functionality (e.g., pixels, etc.) - will be limited to the processing activities strictly necessary for the selection of functional criteria for determining the scope of the campaign, the delimitation of the relevant audience, the matching with the users registered on the social platform or on the systems of the technological service provider, the selection of functional criteria for carrying out the activity, the publication of the promotional message and, where appropriate, the production by the social platform or the technological service provider of statistical reports on the progress of the campaign.
For any further processing activities carried out by the social media platform or by the technology service provider in its capacity as autonomous data controller, please refer to the information notice pursuant to Article 13 or 14, GDPR, provided by the social media platform or by the technology service provider in question, to which you may also address any requests to exercise the rights recognised to you by the GDPR relating to the processing carried out by it in its capacity as autonomous data controller. ABI Lab is not responsible for and shall not be liable in any way for any processing operations carried out by the social media platform or the relevant technology service provider that are in addition to the social media marketing activities described herein.
As to advertising cookies, please note that the processing is carried out jointly with the provider Meta and, therefore, your personal data may be transferred to countries outside the European Economic Area.
