Cookie Policy
Artess, with its registered office at Via Trento, 45 - 33100 Udine (UD) - Italy, and contactable at info@art-ess.org as the Data Controller, provides you with the following information regarding the use of cookies on our website thehumantouch.art-ess.org.
General Information on Cookies
Cookies are small text files that our website sends to the user's device, where they are stored and later retransmitted to the site upon subsequent visits.
Cookies can be either first-party (set directly by us) or third-party (set by a domain other than the website's own). Cookies allow the site to recognize the user's device and enable navigation between pages, remembering expressed preferences, and improving the overall user experience. In certain cases, some types of cookies can also make online advertisements more relevant to the user or aligned with their interests.
Some operations cannot be performed without the use of cookies, which, in certain cases, are therefore technically necessary for the proper functioning of the website.
There are various types of cookies, depending on their characteristics and functions, and these can remain on users' devices for different periods:
- Session cookies, which are automatically deleted when the browser is closed;
- Persistent cookies, which remain on the device until a predetermined expiration date.
Under current Italian regulations, the use of cookies does not always require explicit user consent. In particular, consent is not required for "technical cookies", i.e., those used solely to carry out the transmission of a communication over an electronic communications network or to the extent strictly necessary to provide a service explicitly requested by the user. In other words, these are essential cookies for the website's operation or necessary to perform activities requested by the user.
Among technical cookies, which do not require explicit consent for their use, the Italian Data Protection Authority (cf. Decision of June 10, 2021, "Guidelines on cookies and other tracking tools") includes:
- navigation or session cookies (for authentication purposes);
- functionality cookies, which allow the user to navigate based on a series of selected criteria (e.g., language) to improve the service provided. These can be set by us or by third-party providers whose services have been added to our pages;
- analytics cookies, but only when used directly by the website operator to collect aggregated information on the number of users and how they visit the site.
For profiling cookies, on the other hand, i.e., those aimed at creating user profiles and used to send advertising messages in line with the preferences expressed during web browsing, prior user consent is required. These cookies may be set via our site by our advertising partners. They can be used by these companies to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant advertisements on other websites.

These cookies allow, for example, the recognition of the selected language and the country from which the user is connecting to the site. Functionality cookies, on the other hand, are designed to enhance your browsing experience.
These cookies are necessary for the functioning of our website and cannot be disabled without compromising its functionality.
