Cookie Policy
This Cookie Policy is drafted in accordance with the applicable data protection regulations (EU Regulation 679/2016 or GDPR, Legislative Decree 196/2003 or Privacy Code, Specific Guidelines from the Italian Data Protection Authority and the European Data Protection Board – EDPB) and supplements the information provided through the Privacy Policy. The purpose of this notice is to describe the types of cookies and other tracking technologies used on the website.
DATA CONTROLLER AND CONTACTS
The Data Controller is Giuliano Resce, with legal headquarters at Via Francesco De Sanctis, 1 – Campobasso.

GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT COOKIES
Cookies are small text files, consisting of letters and/or numbers, that allow the web server to store information on the client (the user's web browser) necessary for browsing the site or to reuse it in future visits. Cookies are stored by the browser on the specific device used (computer, tablet, smartphone) based on the user's preferences.
Types of Cookies
Cookies can be classified based on their duration:
- Session Cookies – These expire at the end of a browser session, typically when the browser is closed, and are used to keep the browsing session active and enable the use of its features.
- Persistent Cookies – These are stored for a longer period (even after the session is closed) and are useful, for example, for remembering browsing preferences (language, device, browser, etc.) or for suggesting personalized content.
Another distinction is based on the origin of the cookies, which can be:
- First-party Cookies – Installed by the site itself.
- Third-party Cookies – Installed by a different domain (e.g., when the site includes other services, such as advertising providers or analytical tool providers).
Finally, cookies can be categorized by their purpose:
- Technical Cookies (necessary or essential)
- Functional or Preference Cookies
- Analytical, Statistical, and Performance Cookies
- Marketing or Profiling Cookies
Technical cookies can be used without the user's consent as they are necessary for certain operations or for ensuring the security and usability of the site. This category also includes first-party and third-party analytical cookies, but only under certain conditions: they must be used for aggregated statistics (without identifying the user) and only in relation to a single site or app; in the case of third-party cookies, at least the fourth component of the IP address must be masked; third parties cannot combine minimized analytical cookies with other data (e.g., customer files or statistics of visits to other sites) or transmit them to other third parties.
Functional or Preference Cookies allow users to browse based on a series of selected criteria (e.g., language, geographic area, device, browser type, products selected for purchase) to improve the service provided. These cookies are not necessary for the site to function, so prior consent must be requested before they are installed.
Analytical or Statistical Cookies are used to improve navigation on the site by analyzing user activity in an anonymous form (e.g., number of users on a page, number of times the page has been visited by the user, how long the user stays on the page, etc.). These cookies are also referred to as performance cookies, and as mentioned earlier, can be treated as technical cookies if configured with minimal identifying power (in this case, they do not require prior consent and can remain active).
Marketing or Profiling Cookies allow tracking of the user's navigation on the site to analyze their behavior, purchases, and create a user profile or place them in a homogeneous group. This allows the Data Controller to optimize the site and tailor the service in a more personalized way, as well as send targeted advertisements aligned with the user's preferences. Naturally, these cookies are not necessary for the operation of the site and specific consent is required for their installation.
There are also specific cookies for Social Networks that allow users to share site content on their social profiles. When a page includes this feature, a direct link is established with the selected Social Network (e.g., Facebook, Instagram, X, LinkedIn, etc.).
Below are some direct links for more information:
Rules for Cookie Consent
If the site uses cookies other than technical ones, a banner of adequate size and immediate appearance must be implemented. This banner should contain:
- A brief notice about the use of cookies on the site
- A link to the full privacy policy
- An option to close the banner without giving consent
- A button to accept all cookies
- A link to another section where users can select which cookies to accept
Selective Activation or Deactivation of Cookies
Most browsers automatically accept cookies, but users can decide to disable some of them directly through the browser settings. It is also possible to block all cookies by accessing the "Options" or "Preferences" section in the browser menu. However, if you choose to block all cookies, you may experience issues with the display and navigation of most websites.
Here are the direct links to the support pages of the most common browsers:

USE OF COOKIES ON THIS SITE
This Site uses both technical and functional cookies, both session-based and persistent. These cookies are used to manage the user interface (e.g., for saving preferences such as language, page display format, connection area) and to ensure better usability of the site and its audiovisual content, as well as for the proper functioning of the connection.
The site may also use third-party analytical cookies that help the Data Controller understand how visitors interact with the site’s content, generate statistical reports on site activity, and verify which pages are the most visited. If analytical tools are used, they will be configured to process data in an aggregated and minimized form.
The complete list of cookies used by the site is available through the cookie selection tool and is updated with every possible change.
Managing and Controlling Cookies on This Site
Upon first access or after clearing the browser cache, a cookie banner will appear offering the option to:
- Accept all types of cookies by clicking the “Accept All” button
- Enable desired cookie categories (Functional, Marketing, etc.) by clicking “Manage Preferences”, using the category sliders, and confirming with the “Save Preferences” button
- Reject the use of cookies by clicking the “X” at the top right, which will close the banner and only install strictly necessary cookies
Subsequently, users can always modify and/or withdraw their consent by clearing the cache or accessing the cookie configuration panel through the dedicated widget displayed at the bottom left of the screen.
Provision of Data
Providing the data through cookies is optional and based solely on the free consent of the data subjects, except for the necessary technical and anonymous statistical cookies. If functional or marketing cookies are not accepted during the first visit to the site or upon subsequent changes, users can still navigate the site.
Communication and Transfer of Personal Data
Personal data may be shared with employees or collaborators of the Data Controller who are formally authorized to process such data and have received appropriate operational instructions.
Additionally, the data may be processed by external entities necessary for organizational purposes (e.g., IT service providers, consulting companies). These subjects are appointed as external Data Processors, if applicable.
The Data Controller may also communicate the data to other parties acting as independent controllers, for the execution of legal obligations or for investigatory activities (e.g., public entities, judicial authorities, law enforcement agencies, etc.).
If technical and/or operational reasons require the involvement of entities located outside the European Union, the Data Controller will manage the transfer in compliance with Chapter V of the Regulation, ensuring appropriate safeguards (e.g., adequacy decisions from the European Commission, adequate safeguards from the third party, standard contractual clauses, etc.).
Rights of Data Subjects
Data subjects may contact the Data Controller by sending an email to info@instantanalytics.it to exercise their rights under Articles 15-22 of the GDPR. In particular, the right of access to their data, total erasure, restriction of processing, obtaining a copy of the data, and withdrawal of consent.
Changes to This Policy
This policy may be updated over time following the enactment of new regulations or the introduction of new services. For this reason, users/visitors are encouraged to periodically consult this page.
