Cookie Policy of https://blockworld.it/en/
This document contains information regarding the technologies that allow this Application to achieve the purposes described below. These technologies allow the Owner to collect and save information (for example, through the use of Cookies) or to use resources (for example, by running a script) on the User’s device when the latter interacts with this Application.
For simplicity, in this document, these technologies are collectively referred to as “Tracking Tools,” unless there is a reason to differentiate.
For example, while Cookies can be used in both web and mobile browsers, it would be inappropriate to refer to Cookies in the context of mobile applications, as they are Tracking Tools that require the presence of a browser. For this reason, within this document, the term Cookie is used only to specifically refer to that particular type of Tracking Tool.
Some of the purposes for which Tracking Tools are used may also require the User’s consent. Once consent is given, it can be freely revoked at any time by following the instructions provided in this document.
This Application uses Tracking Tools managed directly by the Owner (commonly referred to as “first-party” Tracking Tools) and Tracking Tools that enable services provided by third parties (commonly referred to as “third-party” Tracking Tools). Unless otherwise specified in this document, such third parties have access to their respective Tracking Tools.
The duration and expiration of Cookies and other similar Tracking Tools may vary depending on what is set by the Owner or each third-party provider. Some of them expire at the end of the User’s browsing session.
In addition to what is specified in the description of each of the categories below, Users can obtain more detailed and up-to-date information regarding duration, as well as any other relevant information—such as the presence of other Tracking Tools—by consulting the privacy policies of the respective third-party providers (through the links provided) or by contacting the Owner.
