This page explains what personal data areacmilano.it processes, through which services and why. In short: you don't need an account to read the site. We use Google Analytics for visit statistics and Google AdSense for advertising. If you are in the European Economic Area (EEA, which includes the European Union), the United Kingdom or Switzerland, a message from Google asks for your consent to cookies and personalized advertising. If you write to us through the contact form, we use your details only to reply.
The controller is Onlinex LTD, which publishes areacmilano.it. For any question about this policy or your data, write to us through our contact form.
The server that hosts the site records the requests it receives: IP address, browser, the page requested, date and time. These records (logs) keep the site running and protect it from abuse and attacks.
Legal basis: our legitimate interest in keeping the site secure and working.
We use Google Analytics 4, a Google service, to learn how many people visit the site, which pages they read, where they come from (for example a search engine) and what kind of device they use. Google Analytics uses cookies. Google receives the address of the page you are visiting and your IP address, which it also uses to estimate your general location. For visitors in the European Union, Switzerland and the UK, Google Analytics uses the IP address only to work out the location, then discards it without storing it. Google Analytics reports don't show us your name, email address or IP address.
Legal basis: your consent, where the law requires it.
The site is free to read and shows ads from Google AdSense on most pages: in ad spaces we place and in places Google picks itself (auto ads). The news pages and information pages like this one show no ads.
If you don't consent, or you turn off personalized advertising, you may still see ads, but not ads based on your earlier visits.
Legal basis: your consent, where the law requires it.
If you are in the EEA, the UK or Switzerland, a message from Google on the pages with ads asks whether you consent to the use of cookies and of your data, in particular for advertising. You can consent, not consent or choose individual options. You can change your choice at any time with the “Cookie settings” link at the bottom of the pages with ads, which opens the message again.
Some pages contain a YouTube video (YouTube is a Google service) embedded in privacy-enhanced mode: according to Google, views in this mode are not used to personalize your YouTube experience or the ads you see outside this site. When the video loads and when you watch it, YouTube (Google) still receives some data, such as your IP address, and handles it under Google's privacy policy.
If you write to us through our contact form, we receive your name, your email address and your message. The form sends them by email to Onlinex LTD. We use them only to reply to you, we don't pass them on to anyone else, and we delete them when they are no longer needed. Writing to us is up to you, but without an email address we can't reply.
Legal basis: answering the message you send us.
Cookies are small text files that a website stores in your browser. On areacmilano.it they may be set by the Google services described above (Google Analytics, Google AdSense, the consent message and YouTube) and by other ad vendors that work with Google. We set no cookies of our own.
Besides the “Cookie settings” link at the bottom of the pages with ads, you can delete or block cookies in your browser's settings. If you don't want Google Analytics to record your visits, you can also install the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on, described on Google's page linked above.
Google may process the data collected through Google Analytics, Google AdSense and YouTube in the United States and in other countries outside the EEA. Google states that it complies with the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework and, where required, relies on standard contractual clauses. Server logs and contact form messages may also be stored outside the EEA, by the providers that host the site and the email.
The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR, EU Regulation 2016/679) gives you the right to:
To use these rights, write to us through our contact form. For personalized advertising, you can also use Google's My Ad Center. You also have the right to complain to a data protection authority, for example the one in the country where you live; in Italy, it is the Garante per la protezione dei dati personali.
If the services the site uses or the way we process data change, we update this page and the date at the top.
