Cookies and other tracking tools

Cookies are small text strings that visited websites send to the user’s browser where they are stored and then retransmitted to the same websites during subsequent visits. While browsing, the user may also receive cookies sent on their browser by parties other than the owner of the site visited (so-called “third parties”).

Through this Site, the user’s browser may receive technical cookies and, using some features, third-party profiling cookies.

Technical cookies

This Site uses the following technical cookies:

  • navigation or session cookies, which guarantee normal navigation and use of the Site by memorizing the user’s browsing preferences;
  • Functionality cookies, which allow the user to browse according to a series of selected criteria (e.g., language, pop-ups) in order to improve the service provided.

These cookies are installed directly by the Data Controller and are used, pursuant to Article 6, paragraph 1, lett. f of the GDPR, to facilitate navigation and, pursuant to Article 6, paragraph 1, lett. b GDPR, to provide the services requested by the user. Once stored on the user’s browser, these cookies are stored for 12 months, without prejudice to the possibility for the user to delete them directly, if desired, in the manner indicated in the section “How to disable and delete cookies“.

The Site also uses its own analytical cookies that collect, anonymously (by masking portions of the user’s IP address), statistical and aggregate information on users’ browsing methods (e.g., number of pages visited and accessed, time spent on the site). These cookies, used directly by the Site manager pursuant to art. 6, par. 1, lett. f) of the GDPR, are assimilated to technical cookies and do not require the user’s consent. In addition, the aforementioned analytical cookies, once stored on the user’s browser, may remain up to a maximum of 13 months, without prejudice to the possibility for the user to decide to disable their use on their browser, at any time, in the manner indicated in the section “How to disable and delete cookies“.

Profiling cookies and other tracking tools

Profiling cookies are used to monitor and analyse the user’s online behaviour in order to personalise the service provided, as well as to send targeted advertising messages, in line with the preferences expressed by the user while browsing the web; therefore, it is necessary to obtain the user’s consent, pursuant to Article 6, paragraph 1, lett. a) of the GDPR.

By accessing the Site, it is also possible to receive third-party profiling cookies (in particular, YouTube) in your browser if the user consents to the use of specific functions provided by the Site manager, to make certain content available on the Social Youtube channels of the Italian G7 Presidency available within the Site.

To allow the user to freely choose cookies, a banner is proposed when accessing the Site to inform the user and to allow him to give his consent to the receipt of cookies other than technical ones, by clicking on the appropriate “Accept all” button, or to refuse the installation of such cookies, by selecting “Reject all“.

To better manage preferences, the user can click on the “Cookie Preferences” button and obtain more information on individual cookies, in order to provide their consent for the viewing, directly within the Site, of some personalized content on the Youtube channel of the Italian G7 Presidency.

ces expressed with regard to the aforementioned cookies are in turn stored on the user’s browser using special technical cookies and remain for a maximum time of 6 months, in order to avoid, for this period, the repetition of the same request, as well as to allow faster browsing, without prejudice to the possibility for the user to delete them directly, in the manner indicated in the section “How to disable and delete cookies“.

In addition, within some pages of the Site it is possible to find spaces dedicated to allowing the use of functions of other websites through the so-called social buttons, i.e. icons that depict some social network platforms (in particular, YouTube, X, Facebook, Instagram) and that allow users who are browsing to interact directly with a “click” with the same websites.

In this regard, the Site does not share any browsing information or user data with the sites accessible in this way, but the use of these features by the user implies the possibility for the user to receive in their browser also non-technical cookies from the owners of such sites, the so-called “third parties”.

The Data Controller does not have access to the information collected by the aforementioned cookies, which are used in full autonomy by the “third parties”. For more information, users are invited to consult the respective policies provided by the third parties, in particular by consulting the following links:

Recipients of the communication of personal data

Exclusively for the purposes specified above, the personal data collected and processed in this way may be communicated and processed, in compliance with current legislation, by external companies appointed by the Presidency of the Council of Ministers in order to carry out services of various kinds, such as, for example, the maintenance and assistance of the Site and related services, which will be appropriately designated as data processors with a specific contract.

In addition, where necessary, the data may be communicated to the competent authorities and other public bodies that request it on the basis of current regulations and in relation to both investigations and proceedings relating to the prevention, detection and repression of crimes, and to the needs of judicial defence of rights

The personal data provided are not disseminated in any way.

Period of storage of personal data

The personal data provided by the user and/or collected by the Data Controller through the use of the Site will be kept for the time strictly necessary to provide the requested services and to carry out the related technical and security operations, as well as, after the latter, for any time established by the regulations in force for administrative and possibly defensive purposes.

With regard to cookies specifically, the storage periods are indicated in the previous paragraphs.

Place and method of data processing, nature of the provision of data and consequences in case of refusal

The processing connected to the web services offered by the Site takes place at the headquarters of the Data Controller and is handled only by technical personnel authorized to process them, adopting appropriate measures to ensure that personal data are processed adequately and in accordance with the purposes for which they are managed.

Personal data are processed with automated tools and there is no transfer to non-EU third countries.

However, should this transfer prove necessary for assistance and maintenance activities, the Presidency of the Council of Ministers undertakes to promptly inform the interested parties by providing adequate information about the conditions for the legitimacy of the transfer.

In such cases, the personal data collected could be transferred to non-EU third countries, for which legitimacy would be guaranteed by the use of standard contractual clauses and, in particular, to the USA by the adherence of the data processors to the adequacy decision adopted by the European Commission on 10/07/2023 (Data Privacy Framework).

The rights of the data subjects

The interested party has the right, at any time, to obtain confirmation of the existence or otherwise of the data concerning him/her. He/she also has the right to request, in the forms provided for by law, the rectification of inaccurate personal data and the integration of incomplete data and to exercise any other right pursuant to art. 18-22 of the GDPR, where applicable.

To this end, the user may send a specific request addressed to Deputy Head of the Delegation for the Italian Presidency of the G7 Giulia Mantini by writing to the following address g.mantini@governo.it.

If the user believes that the processing has not been carried out in a way that does not comply with the GDPR, he or she may also contact the Supervisory Authority, lodging a complaint pursuant to art. 77 of the GDPR.
