Said Cookies Privacy Policy is intended to describe the various types of Cookies and technologies used on Permedica Dental’s website to describe how and under what conditions they are used.
What are Cookies
Cookies are small text files that sites visited by the user send to the device (usually to the browser), they are stored in the corresponding folder of the browser while the user is intent on visiting a website, and then transmitted back to the same sites on subsequent visits. They are used for the purpose of improving browsing, (the http protocol is stateless and cannot “remember” the authenticated user browsing pages), saving user preferences already entered (username, password etc.), tracking user tastes and preferences allowing to be able to manage the presence or absence of targeted marketing initiatives or the provision of services related to the Holder’s activity such as newsletters, dem etc. Should limitations be placed on their use this will certainly affect the user’s status during consultation. Blocking or removing them from the browser cache, could cause incomplete enjoyment of the services offered by the web application.
Types of Cookies
Session Cookies are temporary Cookies, which merely “exist” for the duration of the user”s session of use. When the browser is closed, Session Cookies expire. These are typically used to identify users when they access a site, to remember the user and their preferences as they move between pages on the site, to provide them with specific information previously collected. The most common example of this functionality is the shopping cart functionality of an e-commerce site. For example, when you visit a catalog page and select certain items, the session cookie remembers your selection so that in a virtual shopping cart, the items remain selected when you are ready to checkout. Without of Session Cookie, if the user clicked checkout, the new page could not recognize past activity on previous pages and the shopping cart would always remain empty.
Persistent Cookies remain active even after the browser is closed and help sites remember data and user settings for later reference. This allows faster and more time-efficient access since, there is no need to log in again. In addition to authentication, other website features are made possible and include: language selection, theme selection, menu preferences, bookmarks or favorites, and many others. During the visit, the user selects their preferences and they will be remembered through the use of the Persistent Cookie during the next visit.
Third-party cookies
There are various types of Cookies, some of which are referred to as third-party Cookies. They are used, for example, by the site the visitor first chose that contains ads from another third-party server or website. Operationally The browser collects information fed from different sources so that all elements are displayed on the same page thus creating aCookie in the corresponding browser folder. All of these Cookies can be removed directly from the browser settings or it is possible to block their creation In the latter case some services of the site may not work as expected and it may not be possible to access or even no longer have the associated Cookie lose the user’s preferences, thus the information would be displayed in the wrong local form or may not be available.
Web Beacons : also called “tracking pixels,” “1×1 gifs,” “single-pixel gifs,” “pixel tags,” or “action tags “are graphic images, usually no larger than 1 pixel x 1 pixel in size that are used for the purpose of collecting anonymous information about how users use a site and to offer personalized content. They also allow identification of browser types, words entered into search engines by visitors used to reach the site. Web Beacons present in e-mail communications and allow to know whether a user has received, opened or clicked to links provided with the e-mail received.
Flash Cookies or Local shared objects (LSOs) : Websites may use Flash content, displayed on their pages, to store some information about the device. As with HTTP Cookies, local shared objects can be used by websites to collect information about the paths taken by Internet users regarding navigation between websites. Online banks, advertisers may use local shared objects for tracking purposes.
Functionally Cookies are markers that remember user choices and thus automate certain procedures or allow for personalization of the user experience (e.g., they allow banner ads not to appear in overlays).
Google Analytics is a service offered by Google that generates statistics about a website’s traffic and traffic sources. It is the most widely used statistics service. You can access the policy at: http://www.google.it/analytics/learn/privacy.html.
Privacy and Security on Cookies
Cookies are not viruses; they are just text files that are neither interpreted by the browser nor executed in memory. Consequently, they cannot duplicate themselves, spread to other networks to be replicated again. Since they cannot perform these functions, they do not fall under the standard definition of a virus. Cookies, however, can be used for malicious purposes. Since through them information is stored about preferences, the history of a user’s actions, and specific navigation between multiple sites, Cookies can be used to act as a form of spyware. Many anti-spyware products are well aware of this problem and routinely flag Cookies as possible threats.
Regarding Flash Cookies, Adobe does not directly provide a tool to customize Flash Player settings related to managing them. Instead, in order to access the various adjustments offered, it is necessary to access any web page containing the created creative, right-click on it, choose the Global Settings option then click on the General Privacy Settings Panel link. Alternatively, you can directly visit the :
http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/….
It is good to remember that if you delete Flash Cookies or disable their storage completely, some websites may no longer operate as expected. Flash Cookies can be used, for example, to force a new creation of a traditional HTTP Cookie containing the information it previously hosted.
Other cookie-based threats
Because Cookies are transmitted between the browser and the website, a malicious user or unauthorized person could intercept the data transmission and information about them. Although relatively rare, this fact can happen if the browser connects to the site using an unsecured WI-FI network, for example. Other Cookies-based attacks involve server settings. If a website does not require the browser to use only encrypted connections (e.g., https), malicious attackers can exploit this vulnerability to trick visitors by sending them personal information through insecure channels. Attackers then hijack personal data for unauthorized processing purposes.
