What are cookies?
Cookies are short fragments of text (letters and / or numbers) that allow the web server to store on the client (the browser) information to be reused during the same visit to the site (session cookies) or later, even after days (persistent cookies). Cookies are stored, according to user preferences, by the single browser on the specific device used (computer, tablet, smartphone).
Similar technologies, such as, for example, web beacons, transparent GIFs and all forms of local storage introduced with HTML5, can be used to gather information on user behavior and use of services.

During browsing the user can receive on his terminal even cookies sent from sites or different web servers (so-called third parties), on which may be some elements (eg images, videos, maps, sounds, specific links to pages of other domains) on the site that the user is visiting.

More generally, some cookies (called session cookies) are assigned to the user’s device only for the duration of access to the site and expire automatically when the browser is closed. Other cookies (defined as persistent) remain in the device for a prolonged period of time.

The specific purposes of the different types of cookies installed on this site are described below. You can disable cookies by following the information below.
Later in this document we will refer to cookies and all similar technologies simply by using the term “cookies”.

What kind of cookies do you use this site?
The meatrail.com website uses:
– strictly necessary cookies, c.d. technical cookies, used specifically to allow the proper operation and use of our site, such as those used to store the last language consulted by the User and then propose it again during the next visit session. Their deactivation compromises the use of services rendered by the site and jeopardizes its correct functioning.

– third-party cookies such as those provided by site visit analysis tools and specifically regarding the service provided by Google Analytics.

Below you will find a more detailed description and information on their management.

The meatrail.com website does not use any User profiling cookies.

Third-party cookies
By visiting a website you may receive cookies from both the visited site (“owners”) and from sites managed by other organizations (“third parties”). A notable example is the presence of “social plugins” for Facebook, Twitter, Google+ and LinkedIn, but also in the case of embed services rendered by other platforms, such as Google Maps (maps) or YouTube (video), cookies are used. These are parts of the page visited generated directly by the aforementioned sites and integrated into the page of the host site. The most common use of social plugins is aimed at sharing content on social networks.

The presence of these plugins involves the transmission of cookies to and from all sites managed by third parties. The management of information collected by “third parties” is governed by the relevant information to which reference is made. To ensure greater transparency and convenience, the following are the main web addresses of the various information and methods for managing cookies.

Google Analytics
The meatrail.com site also includes certain components transmitted by Google Analytics, a web traffic analysis service provided by Google, Inc. (“Google”). Also in this case these are third-party cookies collected and managed anonymously to monitor and improve the performance of the host site (performance cookies).
Google Analytics uses cookies to collect and analyze in an anonymous way information about the User’s behavior, but without registering its IP address, as this function is disabled on this site. This site does not use (and does not allow third parties to use) the Google analysis tool to monitor or collect personal identification information.

The user can selectively disable the action of Google Analytics by installing on his browser the opt-out component provided by Google. To disable the action of Google Analytics, please refer to the link below:
