Browsing data

Browsing the website www.softskillgame.com involves PA360 knowing the IP addresses or domain names of the computers used by users who connect to the site.

These browsing data are processed by PA360 and its affiliated companies, are not communicated or disclosed to third parties and are used only for statistical analysis, in anonymous form.

Cookies are divided into:

• temporary or session-based (session cookies): they are used to store temporary information, allow linking actions performed during a specific session, and are removed from the computer when the browser is closed. Session cookies are essential to distinguish between connected users and are useful for preventing a requested feature from being provided to the wrong user, as well as for security purposes to prevent cyber attacks on the site. Session cookies do not contain personal data and last only for the current session, i.e., until the browser is closed.

• permanent (persistent cookie): they are used to store information, such as login name and password, so that the user does not have to re-enter it every time they visit the site. These remain stored on the computer even after closing the browser. By using the site, the visitor expressly consents to the use of cookies.

This website uses temporary cookies (deleted at the end of the connection) and permanent cookies (in which the server only recognizes that an anonymous and unidentified visitor has visited the site again) to facilitate navigation within the site, analyze traffic and highlight peculiar aspects of particular interest (course type, special offers, etc.).


Cookies

This site uses cookies, small text strings that allow you to save information about visitor preferences, to improve site functionality, to simplify navigation by automating procedures (e.g. login, language, etc.) and for site usage analysis.

A cookie cannot retrieve any other data from the user's hard drive or transmit computer viruses or acquire e-mail addresses.


Types of cookies

Below is the list of cookie types we use on our website, which is analyzed with a cookie scanning tool to keep the list as accurate as possible. We classify cookies into the following categories:

Necessary cookies: necessary cookies help make a website usable by enabling basic functions such as page navigation and access to protected areas of the site. The website cannot function properly without these cookies.

Statistical cookies: if the interested party gives explicit and informed consent, they help to understand how users interact with the sites by collecting and transmitting information anonymously.

Marketing cookies: if the user gives explicit and informed consent, they are used to monitor users on websites in order to display relevant and engaging ads for the individual user.

The user can manage, or request the general deactivation or deletion of cookies at any time by modifying their browser settings. However, this deactivation may slow down or prevent access to some parts of the site or make navigation less functional.

Cookie settings can be managed or disabled depending on the browser used. To learn more about how to perform these operations, we suggest the user consult the manual of their device or the "Help" function of their browser.

Cookies are linked to the browser used and can be disabled directly from the browser, thus refusing/revoking consent to the use of cookies. It is noted that disabling cookies may prevent the correct use of some functions of the site itself.

The instructions for disabling cookies can be found in the settings of the browser used.

Cookie consent is managed by a third party: CookieScript.

In this regard, it is specified that:

It is always possible to access the consent and make changes, not only from the page dedicated to cookies, but also from a button always present at the bottom left of our website;

There is an 'x' on the banner corresponding to refusal;

it is possible to select which cookies to accept directly from the banner.


Third-party cookies

Cookies can be first or third-party, where 'first-party' refers to cookies that report the site as the domain, while 'third-party' refers to cookies that are related to external domains.

Third-party cookies are necessarily installed by an external entity, always defined as “third party”, not managed by our website.

These subjects may eventually install first-party cookies, saving their cookies on the site's domain.

This website also acts as an intermediary for third-party cookies, used to provide additional services and features to visitors and to improve the use of the site itself, such as social buttons.

During navigation on the site, the user may receive cookies on their terminal that are sent by different sites or web servers (so-called "third parties"), on which some elements (e.g., images, specific links to pages of other domains, etc.) present on the site they are visiting may reside. Each cookie contains various data such as IP address, nationality, city, date/time, device, browser, operating system, screen resolution, navigation origin, pages visited and number of pages, visit duration, number of visits made, etc. The data transfer agreement takes place directly between the user/visitor and the third parties, so the acquisition of consent for these cookies is obviously the responsibility of the third parties, while this site does not participate in any way in such transfer. As a result, the information on the use of these cookies and their purposes, as well as the methods for their possible disablement, are governed by the rules established by the third parties themselves.

You are invited to review the information on the processing of personal data published on the web pages listed in the list of cookies used by this website.

The user can authorize or deny consent to the installation of cookies through the options provided in the "Cookie Management" section.

In particular, this site uses cookies from the following third parties:

• Google (Google Analytics cookie): Google Analytics is a Google analysis tool that, through the use of cookies (performance cookies), collects anonymous browsing data in order to examine the site's usage by users, compile reports on site activities, and provide other information, including the number of visitors and pages visited, in order to improve the site's performance.

• Microsoft Clarity: Microsoft's analysis tool that, through the use of cookies (performance cookies), collects anonymous browsing data to examine the site's usage by users, compile reports on site activities, and provide other information, including the number of visitors and pages visited, to improve the site's performance.

The subjects belonging to these categories operate independently as separate data controllers or as data processors appointed by the Data Controller.

The data may also be known, in relation to the performance of the assigned tasks, by the personnel of the Owner, including apprentices, consultants, etc., all authorized to process.
