The “Site” (www.pastificiolaginestra.it) uses Cookies to make its services simple and efficient for users viewing its pages. Users who view the Site will see minimal amounts of information placed on the devices in use, whether they are computers or mobile devices.
Cookies are small text files that sites visited by the user send and record on their computer or mobile device, to then be retransmitted to the same sites at the next visit. Thanks to cookies, the site remembers the user’s actions and preferences (such as, for example, login data, the chosen language, font sizes, other display settings, etc.) so that they do not have to be indicated again when the user returns to visit said site or navigates from one page to another. Cookies, therefore, are used to perform computer authentication, session monitoring, and storage of information regarding the activities of users accessing a site and can also contain a unique identification code that allows tracking of the user’s navigation within the site itself for statistical or advertising purposes. While browsing a site, the user may also receive cookies on their computer or mobile device from sites or web servers other than the one they are visiting (so-called “third-party” cookies). Some operations could not be performed without the use of cookies, which in certain cases are therefore technically necessary for the very functioning of the site.
According to the regulations in force in Italy and the European Union, the use of cookies does not always require express consent from the user. In particular, so-called “technical” cookies do not require such consent, i.e., those used for the sole purpose of carrying out the transmission of a communication over an electronic communications network, or to the extent strictly necessary to provide a service explicitly requested by the user. In other words, these are cookies indispensable for the functioning of the site or necessary to perform activities requested by the user.
There are various types of cookies, depending on their characteristics and functions, and these can remain on the user’s computer or mobile device for different periods of time: so-called session cookies, which are automatically deleted when the browser is closed; so-called persistent cookies, which remain on the user’s equipment until a predetermined expiration date.
Let’s better understand the Types of Cookies
Technical cookies
This type of cookie allows the correct functioning of some sections of the Site. They are of two categories: persistent and session:
- persistent: once the browser is closed, they are not destroyed but remain until a preset expiration date
- session: they are destroyed every time the browser is closed
These cookies, always sent from our domain, are necessary to view the site correctly and in relation to the technical services offered; they will therefore always be used and sent, unless the user changes the settings in their browser (thus affecting the display of the site’s pages).
Among technical cookies, which do not require express consent for their use, the Italian Data Protection Authority (cf. Prov. Gen. “Identification of simplified procedures for information and the acquisition of consent for the use of cookies – May 8, 2014”) also includes:
- “analytics cookies” where used directly by the site operator to collect information, in aggregate form, on the number of users and how they visit the site,
- navigation or session cookies (to authenticate, to make a purchase, etc.),
- functionality cookies, which allow the user to navigate according to a series of selected criteria (for example, the language, the products selected for purchase) in order to improve the service provided to them.
Analytical cookies
Cookies in this category are used to collect information on the use of the site. www.pastificiolaginestra.it will use this information for anonymous statistical analysis in order to improve the use of the Site and to make the content more interesting and relevant to the users’ wishes. This type of cookie collects data in anonymous form on user activity and how they arrived at the Site. Analytical cookies are sent from the Site itself or from third-party domains.
www.pastificiolaginestra.it, according to current legislation, is not required to ask for consent for technical and analytics cookies, as they are necessary to provide the requested services.
Third-party service analysis cookies
These cookies are used to collect information on the use of the Site by users in anonymous form such as: pages visited, time spent, traffic sources, geographical origin, age, gender, and interests for marketing campaign purposes. These cookies are sent from third-party domains external to the Site.
Cookies to integrate third-party software products and functions
This type of cookie integrates functionalities developed by third parties within the pages of the Site, such as icons and preferences expressed in social networks for the purpose of sharing site content or for the use of third-party software services (such as software to generate maps and additional software offering extra services). These cookies are sent from third-party domains and partner sites that offer their functionalities through the pages of the Site.
Profiling cookies
These are cookies necessary to create user profiles in order to send advertising messages in line with the preferences expressed by the user within the pages of the Site.
For so-called profiling cookies, conversely, i.e., those aimed at creating profiles related to the user and used to send advertising messages in line with the preferences expressed by the same during web browsing, prior user consent is required.
For all other types of cookies, consent can be expressed by the User in one or more of the following ways:
· Through specific configurations of the browser used or the related computer programs used to navigate the pages that make up the Site.
· By modifying the settings in the use of third-party services
Both of these solutions could prevent the user from using or viewing parts of the Site.
The profiling cookies indicated will be activated and used by the site exclusively if the user provides their prior consent to such use.
The information obtained by the company PASTIFICIO LA GINESTRA S.r.L. through cookies is not used to identify users. Cookies are not used for purposes other than those described above.
Third-party websites and services
The Site may contain links to other websites that have their own privacy policy which may be different from the one adopted by the company PASTIFICIO LA GINESTRA S.r.L., which therefore is not responsible for these sites.
