This document contains information about the technology that enables Sektors Management LP to complete the tasks described below. This technology allows the Data Controller to collect and save information (for example through the use of Cookies) or to use resources (for example by running a script) on the user’s device when the latter interacts with the company’s website.
For the sake of simplicity, this technology is briefly referred to as “Tracking Tools” in this document, unless there is reason to differentiate.
For example, although Cookies can be used on both web and mobile browsers, it would be inappropriate to talk about Cookies in the context of mobile applications, since they are Tracking Tools that require the presence of a browser. For this reason, within this document the term Cookie is used only to specifically indicate that particular type of Tracking Tool.
Some of the purposes for which Tracking Tools are used may also, depending on applicable regulation, require the user’s consent. If consent is given, it can be freely revoked at any time by following the instructions in this document.
The company uses Tracking Tools managed directly by the owner (commonly referred to as “First-Party” Tracking Tools) and Tracking Tools that enable services provided by third parties (commonly referred to as “Third-Party” Tracking Tools). Unless otherwise specified within this document, such third-parties have access to their respective Tracking Tools.
Duration and expiration of Cookies and other similar Tracking Tools may vary depending on what is set by the Data Controller or each third-party provider. Some of them expire at the end of the user’s browsing session.
In addition to what is specified in the description of each of the categories below, users can obtain more detailed and updated information on the duration, as well as any other relevant information – such as the presence of other Tracking Tools – in the privacy policies of the respective third-party providers (through the links provided) or by contacting the Data Controller.
What are Cookies?
Cookies are small elements that are stored on your computer when you visit a website. These are used to personalize users’ browsing and to collect automatic access and usage information about access to and use of the site. When the website is trustworthy, as in the case of our portal, Cookies help to improve and speed up its navigation, as well as facilitate your next visit by making the site more suited to your needs.
This is the sequence of setting (or creating) a Cookie: when you visit a website for the first time, it asks you to accept a Cookie for a specific domain. If you accept, the Cookie is saved on your computer.
Each time you view a resource from that domain, your browser sends the Cookie.
Can I block Cookies?
Yes, you can block or allow Cookies on all websites, or choose the sites for which you want them to be allowed.
Should I block all Cookies?
Not necessarily. Blocking all Cookies can actually help to protect privacy, but it also limits the features available on some websites. It is therefore advisable to choose the websites for which you want to allow Cookies. You can then initially block all Cookies and then allow the ones that are necessary for sites that are considered trustworthy.
What are Temporary Cookies?
Temporary Cookies (or Session Cookies) are removed from your computer when you close the browser. They are used to store temporary information, for example the items in your shopping cart.
What are Persistent Cookies?
Persistent Cookies (or Stored Cookies) remain stored on your computer even after closing the browser. They are used to store information, such as, for example, the login name and password, so that the user does not have to re-enter them every time he/she visits a specific site. Persistent Cookies may remain on your computer for days, months, or even years.
What are displayed website Cookies?
Displayed website Cookies are derived from the website you are viewing and may be persistent or temporary. They can be used to store information that will be reused the next time you visit the site.
What are Third-party Cookies?
Third-party Cookies derive from ads from other sites, such as pop-ups or banners for advertisements on the displayed website. They can be used to record the use of the website for marketing purposes.

How to manage preferences and give or withdraw consent
There are a number of ways to manage your Tracking Tool preferences and to give or withdraw consent where necessary:
Users can manage their Tracking Tools preferences directly through their devices’ settings – for example, they can prevent the use or storage of Tracking Tools.
In addition, whenever the use of Tracking Tools is dependent on consent, the user may give or withdraw such consent by setting his/her preferences within the Cookie policy or updating such preferences via the tracking settings widget, if any.
You can also remove previously saved Tracking Tools using special browser or device functions.
Other Tracking Tools in the browser’s local memory can be removed by deleting the browsing history.
Regarding Third Party Tracking Tools, users may manage their preferences and withdraw their consent by visiting the relevant opt out link (if available), using the tools described in the third party’s privacy policy or contacting the third party directly.

– You can easily switch between incognito and normal browsing modes and vice versa.

Data storage? Does Chrome store updates to Favourites and General Settings? Chrome stores any changes you make to your Favourites or General Settings in incognito mode.

Disable Third-Party Cookies
Third-Party Cookies are Cookies set by a website other than the one you are currently visiting. For example, the cnn.com website might contain a Facebook “Like” button within it. That button will set a Cookie that can be read by Facebook. This could be considered a Third-Party Cookie. Some advertisers use these types of Cookies to keep track of user visits across all the sites on which they offer their services. If a user feels that this tracking may be a source of concern and intrusion of their privacy, Third-Party Cookies can be disabled in Firefox.
Notes:
Disabling Third-Party Cookies may prevent tracking by advertisers in some cases but not all.
Some websites (such as Microsoft’s Hotmail, MSN and Windows Live Mail inboxes) use Third-Party Cookies for purposes that are not necessarily privacy related, and disabling them may interfere with the proper functioning of those sites.
Third-party Cookie settings are available in the Firefox Options Privacy panel window: click the menu button and select Options. Selecting the Privacy panel? Under History settings: select Use custom settings. Set the Accept Third-Party Cookies option to never?
Note: If, when browsing with this setting, you find that you cannot view some of your favourite websites properly, an intermediate solution is to set the option to Accept Third-Party Cookies on the sites you visit. This setting allows you to accept Third-Party Cookies from websites you have previously visited.
Since the use of Third-Party Tracking Tools on this website cannot be fully controlled by the Data Controller, any specific reference to Third-Party Tracking Tools is to be considered indicative. For complete information, users are kindly invited to consult the privacy policy of the respective third party services listed in this document.
Given the objective complexity of identifying tracking technologies, users are invited to contact the Data Controller should they wish to receive further information regarding the use of such technology on this web page.
