Cookie Policy

Cookie Policy of specialistadaily.com

This document contains information about the technologies that enable this Website to achieve the purposes described below. Such technologies allow the Data Controller to collect and store information (for example, through the use of Cookies) or to use resources (for example, by running a script) on the User’s device as the User interacts with this Website.

For the sake of simplicity, in this document such technologies are collectively referred to as “Trackers”, unless there is reason to differentiate.
For example, although Cookies can be used in both web and mobile browsers, it would be inaccurate to refer to Cookies in the context of mobile applications, as they are Trackers that require the presence of a browser. For this reason, within this document, the term Cookies is used only to refer specifically to that particular type of Tracker.

Furthermore, some of the purposes for which Trackers are employed may require the User’s consent. Where consent is given, it may be freely withdrawn at any time by following the instructions contained in this document.

This Website uses Trackers managed directly by the Data Controller (commonly referred to as “first-party” Trackers) and Trackers that enable services provided by third parties (commonly referred to as “third-party” Trackers). Unless otherwise specified within this document, such third parties have access to their respective Trackers.
The duration and expiry of Cookies and other similar Trackers may vary depending on the settings established by the Data Controller or by each third-party provider. Some of them expire upon the termination of the User’s browsing session.
In addition to what is specified in the description of each of the categories set out below, Users may obtain more detailed and up-to-date information on duration, as well as any other relevant information – such as the presence of other Trackers – in the privacy policies of the respective third-party providers (via the links made available) or by contacting the Data Controller.
