COOKIE POLICY

Data Controller

The data controller More Legal S.r.l., with registered office in Via Matteotti 13, 21020 Brebbia (VA), Tax Code/VAT No. 03685040127, wishes to inform Users about the use of cookies on its websites www.morelegal.com e www.globallegalchronicle.com (hereinafter, jointly, the “Websites”).

What are Cookies?

Cookies are packets of information (small text strings) sent by a web server (e.g., the Websites) to the user’s Internet browser, automatically stored on the user’s computer and automatically sent back to the server upon each subsequent access to the site. Cookies allow the Websites to recognize the user’s device and enable navigation between pages, remembering expressed preferences and improving the user experience. They can also ensure that online advertisements displayed are more suitable and relevant to users’ interests and consumption habits.

By default, almost all web browsers are set to automatically accept cookies.

Typically, cookies may be installed:

  • directly by the owner and/or manager of the website (so‑called first‑party cookies);
  • by parties unrelated to the website visited by the user (so‑called third‑party cookies). Unless otherwise specified, please note that these cookies fall under the direct and exclusive responsibility of their respective managers. Further information on privacy and their use can be found directly on the websites of the respective managers. By default, almost all web browsers are set to automatically accept cookies.

Which Cookies Can Be Found on These Websites?

Cookies are essential to our sign-in mechanism. They allow the site to remember that you have signed in when browsing around the site. You may need to be signed-in to the site to access some services such as content that is only available to subscribers.

More Legal and Global Legal Chronicle may use, also in combination, the following types of cookies, classified according to the indications of the Italian Data Protection Authority and the Opinions issued at European level by the former Article 29 Working Party under the GDPR, and in compliance with the Guidelines published by the Authority on 10 June 2021:

  • Session Cookies, technical cookies that are not stored permanently on the user’s computer and are deleted when the browser is closed. They are strictly limited to the transmission of session identifiers necessary to allow safe and efficient navigation of the site, avoiding the use of other IT techniques potentially detrimental to users’ browsing confidentiality.
  • Persistent Cookies, technical cookies that remain stored on the computer’s hard drive until their expiration or deletion by users/visitors. Through persistent cookies, visitors accessing the site (or other users using the same computer) are automatically recognized at each visit. Visitors may configure their browser to accept/reject all cookies or display a warning whenever a cookie is proposed, so they can decide whether to accept it. Users may also modify the default configuration and disable cookies (i.e., block them permanently) by setting the highest protection level.
  • Technical Cookies, used for authentication, accessing multimedia content such as flash players, or enabling language selection. In general, it is not necessary to obtain the user’s prior informed consent. This category also includes cookies used to statistically analyze site access/visits only if used exclusively for statistical purposes and through aggregated information.
  • Non‑technical Cookies, used mainly for statistical analysis, marketing, and profiling. Their use on users’ devices is prohibited unless users have been adequately informed beforehand and, where required, have given valid consent through an opt‑in mechanism. These cookies may be further grouped according to their functions:
    • Analytics, cookies used to collect and analyze statistical information on site access/visits. They may operate on aggregated/anonymous statistical data or, in most cases, with prior consent, be associated with other information such as credentials entered to access restricted areas (email address and password). They may be used to profile the user (personal habits, visited sites, downloaded content, types of interactions, etc.).
    • Widgets, including all graphic components of a program’s user interface designed to facilitate user interaction. Examples include Facebook, Google+, and Twitter cookies.
    • Advertising, cookies used to deliver advertising within a site. For example, Google Ads and Tradedoubler fall into this category.
    • Web beacons, fragments of code that allow a website to transfer and/or collect information through the request of a graphic image. Websites may use them for various purposes, such as analyzing site usage, monitoring and reporting on advertising, and customizing ads and content.
  • Profiling Cookies, used to associate specific actions or recurring behavioral patterns in the use of the offered functionalities (patterns) with identified or identifiable individuals, in order to group different profiles into homogeneous clusters of varying size. This enables increasingly personalized service delivery and the sending of targeted advertising messages aligned with the user’s preferences during web browsing. The installation of profiling cookies and the resulting processing of personal data are optional and therefore require the user’s consent. Profiling cookies may also be used to obtain geolocation data relating to the user’s geographical position or to allow active scanning of device characteristics for identification purposes, including security, fraud prevention, and debugging.

Technical Cookies for which Consent is not required

More Legal will install on your device and, in particular, on your browser – or will allow third parties to install – certain cookies that are necessary to acquire, or allow our partners to acquire, statistical information in a fully anonymous and aggregated form, and therefore not attributable to any specific individual, relating to the user’s navigation on the site pages, for the purpose of improving usability and functionality.

How to Disable Cookies Through Browser Settings

If you wish, you may also manage cookies directly through your browser settings.
