See the dedicated cookies section below.
♦ When the internet user writes and submits a comment: the data provided by the internet user (name/nickname and email address), as well as the IP address, are recorded in a database. This data is used only as needed for the correspondence initiated by the internet user and is – and will not be – disclosed. Recording the IP address helps detect unwanted comments.
To make it easier to submit other comments later, a cookie may be generated to keep the data provided by the internet user in the browser’s memory so that they do not have to enter it again.
♦ When the internet user sends a message to the editorial team via the contact form, the site stores in a database the information provided by the internet user (name or nickname, email address). This data is used only for correspondence with the site’s editorial team.
Personal data is not disclosed and is used only for the purposes indicated above.
Data access, retention period
The internet user may request to receive a file containing all the personal data recorded in the databases by sicile-sicilia.net, via the contact form. They may request its deletion.
In all cases, data is not kept for more than three years.

Only the information sent by the user via a comment or the contact form may be recorded in a database on the server hosting sicile-sicila.net.
This server is secured, with a firewall used to counter hacking attempts, AntiVirus and AntiMalware to counter threats such as viruses, Trojans and other malicious software.
Sicile-sicilia.net has an SSL certificate (HTTPS browsing) to increase the security of the information transmitted, which is thus encoded end-to-end, travelling in encrypted form over networks.
The publisher of sicile-sicilia.net uses all reasonable means to secure its databases.
Cookies
Sicile-sicilia.net uses third-party tools and services such as Google Analytics (traffic analysis) and Google Adsense (advertising delivery), which in order to function set cookies on the internet user’s browser to collect browsing information.
What is a cookie
Cookies are data recorded on the internet user’s browser at the request of a remote server when they visit a website. These cookies are associated with the domain of the website visited, and can be viewed later (on another visit) by that site. This allows a “lasting” interaction between the client and the server, until the cookie is deleted or reaches its expiry date.
Generally, the information stored in this way is login information, consent or other preferences intended to improve and personalise the user experience.
Google Analytics
Analytics is configured by default in anonymous mode. Thus the associated cookie does not transmit personally identifiable information. However, if third-party cookies are refused by the internet user, this function is suspended. If the internet user accepts all cookies, the service may store information such as the IP address.
Google Adsense
Sicile-sicilia.net displays Google Adsense advertisements, which implies the following:
- If the internet user refuses third-party cookies, limiting themselves to essential cookies, the service is disabled.
- By default, with anonymous cookies enabled, advertisements are displayed in “non-personalised” mode. Thus the cookies do not collect the internet user’s browsing data and no personal information is transmitted, except that which is anonymised and necessary for the module to function.
- If all cookies are accepted, advertisements may be delivered in personalised mode, which implies the following elements:
- Google Asense uses cookies to deliver ads based on the internet user’s previous visits to the Website. In this case the cookies collect browsing data to target advertising based on interests.
- Thanks to the DoubleClick cookie, Google and its partners adapt the ads delivered to visitors based on their browsing on this site and/or other websites.
When an internet user sees an ad delivered on a partner’s site or clicks on it, a cookie may be placed in their browser. - Internet users can disable the DoubleClick cookie used for interest-based advertising via Google Ads Settings. You can also disable a third-party provider’s cookies relating to interest-based advertising by visiting the site youradchoices.com

Sicile-sicilia.net enables these services only if the internet user accepts all cookies.
