Cookie Directive and Tracking Technologies

What are cookies and why are they used

Cookies are small text strings that websites visited by the user send to their terminal, usually the browser, where they are stored and then retransmitted to the same websites on the next visit by the same user. While browsing a platform, the user may also receive cookies on their terminal that are sent from different sites or web servers, known as third-party cookies.

Cookies are used for various purposes. They allow for the execution of IT authentications, session monitoring, and the storage of specific information regarding users accessing the server. Many of the cookies used are necessary to ensure the proper technical functioning of the platform, optimize performance, and offer a personalized and fluid user experience.

Categories of cookies used on the platform

The cookies used within the platform are divided into well-defined macro-categories, each linked to a specific technical or analytical function.

Strictly necessary and technical cookies

These tools are fundamental to allow navigation within the website and to fully utilize its essential functionalities. Without the use of this type of cookie, basic services such as access to restricted areas of the platform, the security of gaming sessions, or the correct display of pages could not be provided. As these are indispensable elements for the provision of the service explicitly requested by the user, their installation does not require the prior written consent of the visitor.

Performance and statistical analysis cookies

This category includes cookies intended for the collection of information, in aggregate and anonymous form, on the number of users and how they interact with the platform. For example, they track the most frequently visited pages or the occurrence of error messages. The analysis of these metrics allows for the optimization of the site structure, improving the layout of menus and the loading speed of graphical elements.

Functionality cookies

Functionality cookies allow the platform to remember choices made by the user, such as the selection of the preferred language, the configuration of the personalized graphic layout, or the setting of display filters. This memorization prevents the user from having to reconfigure their preferences with each new access, significantly improving the level of comfort and personalization of the interface.

Profiling and targeted advertising cookies

Where applicable, these cookies are aimed at creating user profiles in order to present commercial content in line with the preferences expressed by the user during their online browsing. These tools can be used to limit the number of times a specific advertisement is displayed or to evaluate the effectiveness of a promotional campaign. The activation of these cookies always requires the explicit and revocable consent of the user.

Consent management and preference modification

Upon first access to the platform, the user is shown an immediate informative banner indicating the use of cookies. Through this tool, the user has the option to accept the installation of all cookie categories, reject them all (keeping only technical and strictly necessary ones active), or access an advanced configuration panel to individually select the specific purposes to authorize.

The consent given can be modified or revoked entirely at any later time. The user can access the cookie settings panel again via the dedicated link permanently present in the platform's footer.

How to disable cookies through browser settings

In addition to the selection tools present on the platform, the user can control cookies directly by modifying their web browser settings. Most modern browsers allow you to configure privacy preferences to block automatic cookie acceptance, delete cookies already stored on your hard drive, or receive a warning before a cookie is saved.

To proceed with manual deactivation or removal via browser, the user can consult the help section or the online guide of the program used. It should be noted that the total deactivation of technical cookies may compromise the usability of some fundamental sections of the platform, limiting the operational capabilities of the account.

Interaction with third-party cookies

During navigation, the platform may host components and tracking codes provided by external partners or analytical and advertising service providers. These third parties may install their own cookies on the user's device. The processing of information collected by these third parties is governed by their respective privacy and cookie policies, to which reference is made for in-depth consultation. Sportuna does not exercise direct control over the structure and functioning of third-party cookies but is committed to collaborating exclusively with partners who guarantee high standards of security and regulatory compliance.

Updates and changes to this Cookie Policy

This documentation is subject to periodic revisions to promptly reflect any changes in the services offered, modifications in the site's technological implementations, or evolutions in the current regulatory framework in Italy. Each time significant changes are made, the last updated date will be modified and, if necessary, the consent banner will be re-presented to users to ensure an updated and informed choice.
