1. What are “cookies” and what are they used for?

Cookies are short strings of structured text data that are stored in the browser’s local memory for varying periods of time to enable the management of certain types of remote services. Cookies allow for the storage of various types of information, such as your preferences, along with technical data that facilitate smoother and more personalized browsing.

While browsing, the user may also receive cookies from third parties; responsibility for and management of these lies exclusively with their respective operators. Cookies, in fact, can be installed not only by the owner and operator of the website (so-called first-party cookies) but also by parties unrelated to the website (partners) visited by the user (so-called third-party cookies).

FIP’s cookies are ANONYMOUS; that is, they do not contain any personal information about the user, such as first name, last name, email address, or other details, and therefore allow for secure browsing that respects privacy.

Cookies are divided into three main categories:

• technical cookies: these are necessary for the proper functioning of the site and allow for the management of login operations (e.g., logging in, accepting terms of use), configuration preferences (e.g., language), and the personalization of the browsing experience;
• analytical cookies: these allow us to understand how visitors use the site, what content they access, and where they come from, in order to evaluate and improve the site’s functionality and its content;
• profiling cookies: these are used to send personalized advertising messages and commercial offers and to target these messages, verifying whether the user has already seen a specific message or to dynamically build the user’s profile so as to offer messages aligned with the preferences identified during your browsing activity.

1. Characteristics and purposes of the cookies installed by the Site

While browsing the site https://www.fip-academy.com/ (hereinafter the “Site”), information is collected solely through technical and analytical cookies that anonymously track user activity and for which no explicit consent is required.

The analytical cookies used by the Site to anonymously evaluate traffic on the Site are collected and processed through the third-party system called “Google Analytics.”

While browsing the Site, the user will not receive profiling cookies from FIP on their device.

The following describes their purposes and characteristics:

All browsers provide, either directly or through third-party components, the ability to delete cookies both selectively (a specific group of cookies) and generally (all cookies). For this purpose, please refer to the specific documentation for each browser; for illustrative purposes only, the following information pertains to certain cookies used by Google Analytics:

1. “Third-party” cookies

While browsing the Site, you may also receive third-party cookies. Among these, the most common are the so-called “social buttons,” i.e., the buttons on the Site that display social network icons (e.g., Facebook, Twitter, YouTube) and allow you to interact directly with the respective platforms while browsing.

Below is a list where you can consult the privacy policies for each platform, which contain—among other things—the criteria for managing cookies and related information, as well as instructions on how to request their deactivation:

Links to social networks are simply links to specific areas of third-party websites. These sites may in turn install cookies for various purposes, but this is beyond the control and responsibility of FIP. We therefore invite you to consult the specific documentation provided by each linked site.
