This website uses cookies and similar technologies to ensure that procedures work correctly and to improve the user experience of online applications. This document provides detailed information on the use of cookies and similar technologies, how they are used by Popolo della Madre Terra and how they are managed.

Definitions

Cookies are short fragments of text (letters and/or numbers) that allow the web server to store information on the client (the browser) to be reused during the same visit to the site (session cookies) or later, even days later (persistent cookies). Cookies are stored, according to user preferences, by the individual browser on the specific device used (computer, tablet, smartphone).

Similar technologies, such as, for example, web beacons, transparent GIFs and all forms of local storage introduced with HTML5, can be used to collect information about user behaviour and the use of services.

In the remainder of this document, we will refer to cookies and all similar technologies by simply using the term "cookies".

Types of cookies

According to the characteristics and use of cookies we can distinguish different categories:
- Strictly necessary cookies. These are cookies that are indispensable for the website to function properly and are used to manage login and access to the site's reserved functions. The duration of the cookies is strictly limited to the work session (when the browser is closed they are deleted), except in the case where the user makes use of the "Remember me" option in the login form, which generates cookies with a longer duration (expiring in one year) aimed at recognising the visitor's computer - through an alphanumeric code generated at the first access session - for this limited period, to bypass the login phase, allowing him/her to access the pages of the reserved area directly. Their deactivation compromises the use of the services accessible by login. The public part of the website, however, usually remains usable.

- Analysis and performance cookies. These are cookies used to anonymously collect and analyse traffic and use of the website. These cookies, while not identifying the user, make it possible, for example, to detect whether the same user returns at different times. They also make it possible to monitor the system and improve its performance and usability. These cookies can be deactivated without any loss of functionality.

- Profiling cookies. These are permanent cookies used to identify (anonymously and non- anonymously) your preferences and improve your browsing experience. This website does not use cookies of this type.

- Third-party cookies. When you visit a website you may receive cookies both from the site you visit ("owners") and from sites operated by other organisations ("third parties"). A notable example is the presence of 'social plugins' for Facebook, Twitter, Google+ and LinkedIn. These are parts of the visited page generated directly by these sites and integrated into the page of the host site. The most common use of social plugins is to share content on social networks.

The presence of these plugins involves the transmission of cookies to and from all sites operated by third parties. The management of information collected by 'third parties' is governed by the relevant policies, to which please refer.
For the sake of transparency and convenience, please find below the web addresses of the different policies and cookie management methods.

Google Analytics

This website also includes certain components transmitted by Google Analytics, a web traffic analysis service provided by Google, Inc. ("Google"). Again, these are third-party cookies collected and managed anonymously to monitor and improve the performance of the host site (performance cookies).

Google Analytics uses 'cookies' to anonymously collect and analyse information about website usage behaviour (including the user's IP address). This information is collected by Google Analytics, which processes this information to compile reports on website activity. This website does not use (and does not allow third parties to use) Google's analytics tool to track or collect personally identifiable information. Google does not associate the IP address with any other data held by Google nor does it attempt to link an IP address with a user's identity. Google may also disclose this information to third parties where required to do so by law, or where such third parties process the information on Google's behalf.

You can selectively disable the action of Google Analytics by installing the opt-out component provided by Google on your browser.

Duration of cookies

Some cookies (session cookies) remain active only until the browser is closed or the logout command is executed. Other cookies "survive" when the browser is closed and are available on subsequent visits by the user.

These cookies are called persistent and their duration is fixed by the server when they are created. In some cases an expiry date is set, in other cases the duration is unlimited. People of Mother Earth does not use persistent cookies, except for the technical ones that are activated when the user uses the "Remember me" option of the login form and that can be removed with the corresponding "Forget me" flag in the logout form.
However, by navigating the pages of this website, you may interact with sites managed by third parties that may create or modify permanent and profiling cookies.

Managing cookies

You can decide whether or not to accept cookies by using your browser settings.
Attention: the total or partial disabling of technical cookies may compromise the use of the site functionalities reserved for registered users.
Conversely, the usability of public content is also possible by completely disabling cookies. Disabling "third-party" cookies does not affect navigability in any way. The setting can be defined specifically for different websites and web applications. Furthermore, the best browsers allow you to define different settings for 'proprietary' and 'third-party' cookies.
As an example, in Firefox, through the menu Tools->Options->Privacy, you can access a control panel where you can define whether or not to accept different types of cookies and proceed to their
removal.
