This document provides detailed information on the use of Cookies and similar technologies, how they are used on the https://www.musicprotocol.io/ website (the “Site”) and how to manage them.

Visitors of the Site (the “Visitor”) have the possibility to configure their browser (the "Cookie Banner") in order to be notified of the receipt of Cookies and to decide whether to accept, reject or manually manage their preferences regarding the use of Cookies. The acceptance of Cookies by the browser can be disabled by changing the aforementioned settings.

1. Definition

1. Cookies are short text fragments (letters and/or numbers) that allow the web server to store information on the browser to be reused during the same visit to the Site (session Cookies) or later, even after a few days (persistent Cookies). Cookies are stored, according to the Visitor’s preferences, by the individual browser on the specific device used (computer, tablet, smartphone).

2. Types of Cookies

1. There are different categories of Cookies, with different characteristics and uses:

   1. Technical Cookies: these are Cookies that are essential for the proper functioning of the Site and are used for the sole purpose of carrying out the transmission of a communication over an electronic communication network, or to the extent strictly necessary for the provider of an information society service explicitly requested by the Visito to provide such a service;

   2. Analytical Cookies: these are Cookies used to collect and analyse Site traffic and usage in an anonymous way. These Cookies do not identify the Visitor, but they allow us, for example, to detect whether the same Visitor returns to the Site at different times. They also allow us to monitor the system and improve its performance and usability. These Cookies can be deactivated without any loss of functionality.

   3. Profiling Cookies: these are persistent Cookies used to identify (anonymously or otherwise) the Visitor’s preferences and improve the Visitor’s browsing experience; they are often used to create profiles of the user and are used to send advertisements in line with the preferences expressed by the Visitor while browsing the web.

   4. Third-party Cookies (analytical and/or profiling): these are Cookies generated by organisations that are not part of the Sitw, but which are integrated into parts of the Site’s pages. Examples include Google widgets (e.g. Google Maps) or social plug-ins (Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, etc.).

2. The handling of information collected by “third parties” is governed by their policies, which You should refer to, and which for Your convenience are indicated in the links below.

ID cookies	Party	Provider	Type	Purpose	Duration	Further Information

ATTENTION: If You navigate on the Site from a Google Chrome browser and/or while logged into your Google account, further Google Cookies may be installed without your consent and without the possibility for us to prevent this. Similarly, this could happen by using browsers or by logging into accounts provided by other companies. In all these cases, the Processing of Personal Data is not carried out by us and we do not assume the status of Data Controller for such Processing. We do not have any control over such Cookies, nor shall any liability arising out of the installation of such Cookies on your devices be imputed to us.

4. MANAGEMENT

1. The main Cookie management tool we recommend is the Cookie banner we provide, which allows for Cookie management in compliance with the world's most stringent privacy and data protection legislation, such as the GDPR (including the guidelines of the French authority CNIL) and the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA). Through this tool you will be able to:

   1. accept the full installation of all Cookies;

   2. accept only those Cookies that are necessary for the operation of the Site, rejecting all others;

   3. or manage your preferences manually by grouping Cookies by purpose of use.

2. The Visitor can decide whether or not to accept Cookies by using the settings of his or her browser. In this case, the setting can be defined specifically for different websites and web applications. Furthermore, the best browsers allow different settings to be defined for different types of cookies:

   1. Firefox: Cookie Management | Firefox Support

   2. Internet Explorer: Deleting and Managing Cookies in Internet Explorer

   3. Chrome: https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/95647?hl=en-

   4. Opera: Web preferences - Opera Help

   5. Safari per Mac: https://support.apple.com/en-ca/guide/safari/sfri11471/mac

   6. Safari per iOS: How to delete history and cookies from Safari on iPhone, iPad or iPod touch

3. The usability of the contents is also possible by completely disabling cookies, with the exception of 'session' cookies in the event that the Visitor wishes to authenticate himself, and disabling 'third-party' cookies does not affect the navigability of the Site in any way.

4. If you do not install the Cookies that are strictly necessary for the operation of the Site, you will not be able to proceed to browse the Site. These Cookies alone are by default ready to be installed on the device you are browsing from and do not, by law, require your express consent for installation.

5. We cannot guarantee the perfect functioning of the aforementioned tools, but undertakes to evaluate from time to time the most suitable tools for the purposes of compliance with the GDPR and applicable privacy and data protection regulations, possibly even replacing the tools currently in use with others that are more suitable or better functioning.
