Cookie Policy

Banca Sistema S.p.A. provides users, in compliance with national legislation (see the provision of the Italian Data Protection Authority titled “Identification of Simplified Procedures for Providing Information and Obtaining Consent for the Use of Cookies,” May 8, 2014) and EU Regulation 679/2016 (GDPR), information on the types, purposes, and methods of use and Management of the cookies used on this website

This Policy also aims to provide guidance to users of this website regarding how to refuse, modify, or grant consent for the cookies used. Use of this website implies the user’s acceptance of the use of cookies (and similar technologies) in accordance with this Policy.

Cookies are small text strings that the websites visited by the user send to their device (usually the browser), where they are stored so they can be retransmitted to those same websites on the next visit. They are used for user authentication, session tracking, and storing information on websites (without “technical” cookies, certain operations would be very complex or impossible to perform). Cookies may be stored permanently on your computer and have a variable duration (so-called “persistent cookies”), but they may also expire when you close your browser or have a limited duration (so-called “session cookies”). While browsing a website, you may also receive cookies on your device that are sent by different websites or web servers (so-called “third-party cookies”), which may contain certain elements (such as, for example, images, maps, sounds, or specific links to pages on other domains) present on the website you are currently visiting.

Our Website uses

Essential Cookies (so-called “Technical Cookies”) to enable the user to navigate the site easily and find information more readily, simplifying the connection and data transmission between the user and the site. In particular, we use temporary navigation or session cookies, which ensure normal navigation and use of the Site by allowing, for example, the saving of navigation-related information, the storage of data to keep the browsing session active, or authentication to access restricted areas. The session cookies used on this Site avoid the use of other IT techniques that could potentially compromise the confidentiality of the User’s browsing. Session cookies—which are not permanently stored on the User’s computer and are deleted when the browser is closed—are used solely to transmit session- s and data entered by the User that are necessary to enable safe and efficient browsing of the Site;

Statistical Cookies (so-called analytics cookies) to collect information on the use of the Site. In particular, we use the Google Analytics service: This is a web analytics service provided by Google Inc. (“Google”) that uses cookies stored on the user’s computer to help us understand how visitors interact with us. Google uses first-party cookies to track visitor interactions. This cookie is used to store information, such as the time of the current visit, any previous visits to the site by the same visitor, and the site that referred the visitor to the web page. We use the IP address anonymization feature for users visiting the website to prevent Google from identifying them. Implementing this Google Analytics setting allows us to anonymize the IP address by setting the value to 0 in place of the final portion of the IP (the last octet for IPv4 addresses and the last 80 bits for IPv6 addresses).

User IP Address: 125.31.214.144

Anonymized IP Address: 125.31.214.0

This anonymization process occurs during the transmission of data to Google’s systems; therefore, the data is stored in memory and subsequently processed without Google ever recording the full IP address.

you can find Google’s policies on how it uses so-called “Analytics Cookies” (intended for traffic analysis for website statistics).

Marketing cookies (so-called “profiling cookies”) are necessary to create or customize user profiles in order to send advertising messages aligned with the preferences expressed by the User on the pages of the Site. Only cookies managed by third parties are installed through this site. For all types of cookies listed, by clicking on the icon in the lower-left corner of our website, you can find in the “Details” section the names of the third parties that manage them and, for each one, a link to the page where you can obtain information about their processing and provide your consent (either individually on each third party’s cookie policy page or in aggregate by using the consent feature for all third-party cookies, as described below).

User data is retained for the time strictly necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, in compliance with the statute of limitations or any other retention periods established by law, or for a longer period if it is necessary to retain the data to protect the rights of the data controller (for example, some cookies—such as session cookies—remain active only until the browser is closed, while other cookies—such as third-party profiling cookies—“survive” the closing of the browser and remain available during subsequent visits by the user).

The User may allow, restrict, or block cookies through their browser settings; however, if the User configures their device to reject technical cookies, some services on the Site may not display correctly or may not function optimally. In this section, the User will find information on how to disable cookies in their browser, as provided by the browser’s manufacturer. If the User’s browser is not listed below, they should consult their browser’s instructions regarding cookie Management.
