What Cookies Are

Cookies are small text files that a website stores in the browser of the device used to visit it, so that it can recognize that browser on later requests. They can be set by the site being visited, in which case they are first-party cookies, or by other services whose elements appear on the page, in which case they are third-party cookies. Some last only until the browser is closed; others remain for a set period. Similar technologies that store or read information on the device are treated in the same way as cookies in this policy.

Under the EU ePrivacy rules and Article 122 of the Italian Personal Data Protection Code (Legislative Decree No. 196 of June 30, 2003), technical cookies can be used without consent, while all other cookies require the prior consent of the visitor.

Technical Cookies

Technical cookies are needed for the site to work and to provide what the visitor asks for. They are used on the basis of the legitimate interest described in the privacy policy, and they do not require consent.

• Theme cookies. The site is built with the Divi theme, which uses technical cookies for navigation, to remember display preferences and for security.
• Contact form cookies. The contact form, provided by Zoho, sets technical cookies that it needs in order to load and to send messages correctly.
• Consent cookie. The choice made in the cookie banner is stored so that it is respected on every page and is not asked again at each visit.

Technical cookies can be blocked from the browser settings, but some parts of the site, including the contact form, may then stop working.

Statistics Cookies

The site uses tools that measure browsing in aggregate: the number of visits, the pages read most often, the devices and browsers in use. These figures help decide which parts of the catalog to improve first. When the statistics tools use cookies that are not strictly technical, they are activated only after the visitor has given consent in the banner or in the consent panel. If consent is refused, those cookies are not set.

Third-Party Cookies: Amazon Associates

Dossier Thriller takes part in the Amazon Associates program of Amazon.com. Some pages of the catalog include links to Amazon, and Amazon uses third-party cookies to attribute to this site the qualifying purchases made by visitors who follow those links. These cookies are set and read by Amazon, which manages them under its own cookie and privacy notices; the site owner has no access to their content and receives only aggregated reports. Like every non-technical cookie, they are subject to consent, which can be given or refused in the banner. Once a visitor is on Amazon.com, the notices of Amazon apply. The affiliate disclosure explains how the links work.

Consent: the Banner and the Consent Panel

On the first visit, a banner presents three options: accept all cookies, reject all cookies that are not technical, or choose category by category. Until a choice is made, only technical cookies are used. Refusing does not limit access to any page of the site.

The choice can be changed at any time from the consent panel, where each category can be switched on or off and consent already given can be withdrawn. Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of what happened before, and cookies already stored can also be deleted from the browser.

Managing Cookies from the Browser

All major browsers, including Chrome, Firefox, Safari and Edge, allow visitors to see which cookies are stored, to delete them and to block them, for all websites or only for some. The options are usually found in the privacy or security section of the browser settings. Private browsing windows delete cookies when they are closed. Blocking every cookie, including technical ones, can prevent some functions of this and other websites from working.

Updates to This Policy

This policy is updated whenever the tools used on the site change. The version in force is always the one published on this page. If a new category of non-technical cookies is introduced, consent for it is requested before it is used.

More Information

The purposes, legal bases, retention periods and recipients of the data, and the rights of every visitor, are set out in the privacy policy. The general conditions for using the site are in the terms of use.
