PRIVACY & COOKIE POLICY
This cookie statement applies to citizens of the European Economic Area.
Please note that, in implementation of the requirements of 2009/136/EC Directive, there is a requirement to acquire prior informed consent from users before cookies used for purposes other than purely technical ones are stored on their terminal (see art. 1, para. 5 a) of Italian legislative decree of 28 May 2012, no. 69, which modified art. 122 of Italian legislative decree 196/2003 – the “Code” – and the legislative measure issued on 8 May 2014 by the Italian Data Protection Authority requiring information and consent for the use of cookies).
This Privacy Policy, which complies with Articles 13 and 14 of European Union Regulation 679/2016 (hereafter referred to as “Regulation”), describes the way we collect, use, treat, and communicate data that concerns you, including personal data, in relation to your access and use of our website and any mobile applications related to it.
Our website, https://www.meridianabus.it/en (hereinafter: “the website”) uses cookies and other related technologies (for convenience all technologies are referred to as “cookies”). Cookies are also placed by third parties we have engaged.

What are scripts?

What is a webbeacon?
A web beacon (or a pixel tag) is a small, invisible piece of text or image on a website that is used to monitor traffic on a website. In order to do this, various data about you is stored using web beacons.
Consent
When you visit our website for the first time, we will show you a pop-up with a notice about cookies. As soon as you accept all cookies, you consent to us using all cookies and plug-ins as described in this page. You can disable the use of cookies via your browser, but please note that our website may no longer work properly.
Third parties
We have made agreements about the use of cookies with other companies that place cookies. However, we cannot guarantee that these third parties handle your personal data in a reliable or secure manner. Parties such as Google, Youtube or Facebook are to be considered as independent data controllers within the meaning of the General Data Protection Regulation. We recommend that you read the privacy statements of these companies.
Cookies and how they Benefit You
Our website uses cookies, as almost all websites do, to help provide you with the best experience we can.
In order to GDPR there are therefore two broad categories of cookies: “technical” cookies and “profiling” cookies:
1 – Technical or functional cookies
Technical cookies are those used only to “perform transmission of communications over an electronic communication network, or to the extent strictly necessary for the supplier of an information service explicitly requested by the subscriber or by the user to supply that service” (art. 122, para. 1 of the Code). They are not used for further purposes and are normally installed directly by the owner or manager of the website. They can be divided into navigation or session cookies, which permit normal navigation or use of the web site (allowing, for example, a purchase to be made or authentication for access to private areas to be performed); analytics cookies, similar to technical cookies when used directly by the site operator to gather aggregate data on the number of users and how they use the site; functionality cookies, which allow users to navigate the site on the basis of a series of selected criteria (for example language, products selected for purchase) in order to improve the service provided to the same. Storage of these cookies does not require prior consent from users, while the obligation to inform them pursuant to article 13 of the Code remains unchanged.
2 – Profiling cookies
The purpose of profiling cookies is to create profiles on the user, and they are used in order to send advertising messages in line with their web browsing preferences. Due to the particularly invasive nature of and the effects that these files can have on the user’s privacy, European and Italian legislation requires that users be appropriately informed on the use of these cookies and give their consent for the same. Article 122 of the Code refers to these cookies, requiring that “the storage of information on a contractor or user’s terminal, or access to information already stored there, is allowed only on condition that the contractor or user has provided their consent after being informed via the simplified methods per article 13, para. 3” (article 122, para. 1 of the Code).
Cookie of session, persistent, of “third party”, of “first part”
Cookies are divided into two types:
of “session” that are stored on the user’s computer for technical and functional needs, for the transmission of session identifiers necessary to allow the safe and efficient exploration of the site; they are canceled at the end of the “session” (hence the name) by closing the browser;
“Persistent” that remain stored on the computer’s hard drive until their expiry or cancellation by users / visitors. Through persistent cookies, visitors who access the site (or any other users using the same computer) are automatically recognized at each visit. Persistent cookies satisfy many functions in the interest of you (such as the use of the navigation language or the registration of the shopping cart in online purchases). However, persistent cookies can also be used for promotional purposes. Visitors can set the computer browser so that it accepts / rejects all cookies or displays a warning whenever a cookie is proposed, in order to evaluate whether to accept it or not. The user is enabled, however, to modify the default configuration (by default) and disable cookies (ie block them definitively), setting the highest level of protection.
These two types of cookies (session and persistent) can in turn be:
of “first part” when they are managed directly by the owner and / or manager of the website
of “third party” when cookies are set up and managed by managers outside the website visited by the user. The latter fall under the direct and exclusive responsibility of the same manager.
Advertising cookies
We do not use any advertising cookies on this website.
