1. Scope of this policy
This Cookie Policy applies to all users of marcopolocee.com. It explains how cookies and similar technologies are placed, used and administered by MARCO POLO C.E.E. S.R.L. when you browse this website.
It should be read together with our Privacy Policy, which explains how we handle personal data more generally.
2. What cookies are
We use the word “cookie” to refer both to cookies and to similar technologies through which information can be collected automatically.
A cookie is a small file made up of letters and numbers, stored on the computer, mobile terminal or other device through which you access the internet. Cookies are installed at the request of a web server to a browser. Once installed they have a determined lifetime and remain passive — they contain no software, viruses or spyware and cannot access data on the hard drive of the device on which they were installed.
A cookie has two parts: its name, and its content or value. Technically, only the web server that sent a cookie can read it again when you return to the associated website.
3. Why this website uses cookies
Cookies are used to give visitors a better browsing experience and services adapted to their needs, specifically to:
- make the website work correctly and keep it secure;
- improve the website, including by identifying errors that occur while it is being used;
- produce anonymous, aggregated statistics about how the website is used;
- remember settings and preferences you have chosen, so you do not have to set them again;
- measure the effectiveness of our own communication and campaigns.
We do not use cookies to build individual profiles for automated decisions that produce legal effects for you.
4. How long cookies last
The lifetime of a cookie varies significantly depending on the purpose for which it is placed. There are two broad categories:
- Session cookies — deleted automatically when you close your browser.
- Persistent cookies — stored on your device until they reach an expiry date, which may be minutes, days or years away, or until you delete them yourself through your browser settings.
5. Categories used on this website
The table below describes the categories of cookie that may be placed when you use this website. A complete, current list of individual cookies and their exact durations is available in the cookie preferences panel.
| Category | What it does | Typical lifetime | Consent |
|---|---|---|---|
| Strictly necessary | Make the site work — page delivery, security, load balancing, remembering your cookie choices. | Session to 12 months | Not required |
| Preferences | Remember settings you have chosen, such as language, so you do not have to set them again. | Up to 12 months | Required |
| Analytics | Tell us, in aggregate, how the site is used — which pages are read, where errors occur, how people arrive. | Up to 24 months | Required |
| Marketing | Measure the effect of our campaigns and, where used, show relevant content on third-party platforms. | Up to 13 months | Required |
6. Third-party cookies
Some content on this website may be provided by third parties. In that case the cookies placed are known as third-party cookies. Those providers are independent controllers for the data they collect and are required to comply with data protection law and with their own privacy policies.
Third-party cookies on this website may originate from analytics and social platforms such as Google Analytics, Google Ads, Meta (Facebook) and LinkedIn, and from embedded content such as video players and maps.
7. Your consent and how to withdraw it
Strictly necessary cookies are placed without consent because the website cannot function without them. All other categories are placed only after you have given consent through the cookie banner.
You can change or withdraw your consent at any time through the cookie preferences panel. Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before the withdrawal.
8. Managing cookies in your browser
You can also block or delete cookies directly in your browser settings. Note that blocking strictly necessary cookies may prevent parts of the website from working correctly.
