Italian term or phrase: sito civetta
This is a contract regarding the measurement of online audiences. Can anybody tell me exactly what a "sito civetta" is please?

"Il Provider Censuario deve fornire una esplicitazione del tag utilizzato per l’instrumentazione di un sito ad accesso ristretto (sito civetta)"

Thanks!

data harvesting website
Explanation:
this is a "fake" website offering access to something, in exchange for you inputting your name, address, email address etc.

Its real purpose is to obtain your personal details so that these can be used for marketing, identity theft, etc.

Facebook is one example. Try googling for the term. There are lots more examples.

Reference: Prodotto o prezzo **civetta** nel marketing

Reference information:
Un prodotto o un prezzo **civetta** nel marketing e' un prodotto offerto e pubblicizzato a prezzo particolarmente interessante per “adescare” il consumatore a visitare il negozio. Ovvero l' offerta del prodotto non e' tanto finalizzata alla vendita del prodotto stesso quanto ad attirare consumatori, nella speranza di vendere così anche altri prodotti.

Spero che questo commento ti sia d'aiuto...
