Cookie policy

1. Introduction

This cookie policy applies exclusively to the website settimanadellacustodia.it ("Website") and should be considered an integral part of the Website's Privacy Policy.

2. Definition, Characteristics, and Applicable Regulations Regarding Cookies and Similar Technologies

A "cookie" is a small text file that may be stored in a dedicated space on the hard drive of the device used by the user (e.g., computer, tablet, smartphone, etc.) when visiting a website through their browser. It may require the user's prior consent before being installed. Cookies allow a website to remember the user's actions and preferences (such as login data, chosen language, font size, display settings, etc.) so that they do not need to be re-entered when the user returns to the site or navigates from one page to another. Cookies are therefore used to perform computer authentication, session tracking, and storage of information regarding users' activities on a website. They may also contain a unique identification code that enables tracking of the user's navigation within the site for statistical or advertising purposes. While browsing a site, users may also receive cookies from websites 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 website to function properly.

There are various types of cookies, depending on their characteristics and functions, and they may 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; and so-called persistent cookies, which remain on the user's device until a set expiration date.

According to applicable regulations, user consent is not always required for the use of cookies. In particular, consent is not required for so-called "technical cookies," i.e., those used solely to carry 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 that are essential for the operation of the website or necessary to perform activities requested by the user. Among technical cookies that do not require explicit consent, the Italian Data Protection Authority (see the "Simplified Arrangements to Provide Information and Obtain Consent Regarding Cookies" of May 8, 2014 - hereinafter "Provision" - and the "Guidelines for cookies and other tracking tools" of June 10, 2021 - hereinafter "Guidelines") also includes:

  • First-party and third-party statistical or analytical cookies, if tools are used that reduce the identifying power of the cookies and the third party does not cross-reference the information collected with other data already in its possession, used to collect aggregated information on the number of users and how they visit the website;
  • Navigation or session cookies, whose deactivation would compromise the use of services available on the website;
  • Functionality cookies, which allow the user to navigate according to a set of selected criteria (e.g., language, selected products for purchase) in order to improve the service provided.

Conversely, for "profiling cookies," i.e., those aimed at identifying user preferences to enhance and personalize their browsing experience and/or to display marketing communications in line with the preferences expressed during browsing, as well as for third-party statistical or analytical cookies that do not use tools to reduce the identifying power of the cookies and where the third party cross-references the collected information with other data already in its possession, prior user consent is required.
