KES uses cookies – small text files that are placed on your machine to help the site provide a better user experience. In general, cookies are used to retain user preferences, store information for things like shopping baskets, and provide anonymised tracking data to third party applications like Google Analytics. As a rule, cookies will make your browsing experience better. However, you may prefer to disable cookies on this site and on others.

What are cookies?
A cookie is a small set of data sent from the webserver to a user’s internet browser. It is stored on the user’s device – such as a computer, tablet, smartphone – so that the website’s server can later read or retrieve it. A cookie allows a website to store some information within a session or at subsequent times you access it.
KES makes use of cookies to provide services and features to users. Cookies may be limited or deactivated altogether via the user’s internet browser. However, this may lead to the inaccessibility of some website features.
Why we use Cookies
Cookies have several uses. They are essential for correct navigation in some parts of a website. In other parts they collect information that will then be used to provide special services; moreover, some external services (third parties) may need to install their own cookies on the user’s browser to provide their services. What kinds of cookies are used on KeepExploringSardinia.com?
Technical cookies
Technical cookies are used for the sole purpose of “carrying out the transmission of a communication over an electronic communications network, or as strictly necessary for the provider of an information company service explicitly requested by the subscriber or user to provide this service” (see Article 122, paragraph 1, of the Privacy Code). They can be divided as follows:
Navigation or session cookies
They are used to record data for normal navigation and website use on a user’s computer (e.g. in order to remember the user’s preferred page size in a list). These cookies can also be distinguished depending on their persistence on the user’s computer: session cookies are automatically deleted at the end of each navigation session; persistent cookies have a longer life.
Functional cookies
These cookies are used by websites to remember the choices made by users in order to optimise functionality. For example, websites use functional cookies to remember a user’s specific settings, such as country selection and, if set, permanent access status.
Third-party cookies
Some features are offered by using third-party services, listed below. These services produce cookies in connection with services provided by third parties.
A third party provides these services in exchange for information about the user’s visit to KeepExploringSardinia.com. Third-party suppliers of cookies have the obligation to respect any relevant legislation. For this reason, please refer to the links to third-party websites, where you can find cookie consent collection forms and related disclosures.
