What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files that sites you visit send directly to your terminal (usually to your browser), where they are stored and subsequently sent back to the sites in question when you next visit them (so-called first-party cookies). As you browse a site, you may also have cookies placed on your terminal by different websites or web servers (so-called third-party cookies). This happens because the website visited can have certain elements — such as images, maps, sounds, specific links to web pages on other domains — that reside on servers other than the one hosting the page requested. In other words, these are cookies that are placed by a website other than the one you are currently visiting.
The duration of cookies can be limited to a single browsing session on the browser (so-called session cookies): in this case, they are disabled automatically once you close the browser; or they can have a set expiry date and, in this case, remain stored and active on your hard disk until such expiry date, continuing to collect information over the course of different browsing sessions on the browser (so-called persistent cookies).
Cookies are used for different functions. Some are required to allow you to move around the Site and use its features (so-called strictly necessary cookies). Others are used to obtain statistical information, in aggregate or non-aggregate form, on the number of visitors to the Site and on how the Site is used (so-called monitoring or analytical cookies). Lastly, others are used to compile a consumer profile on you so that you can be shown ads on the Site that may be of interest to you as they are in line with your tastes and your consumer habits (so-called targeting cookies).
For more detailed information on these different cookie categories, keep reading this policy.
Find out how they work and what they are for, and freely choose whether to consent to their use or block them.
First-party cookies
The Site uses the following types of first-party strictly necessary cookies, and while your prior consent is not required to place these cookies on your device, Seriana S.p.A. is still required to provide you with adequate information:
(a) Navigation or session cookies: essential in order to enable you to move around our Site and use its relevant services correctly; as they are not stored on your computer, they disappear when you close the browser;
(b) “Functionality” cookies: their sole purpose is to improve and speed up your browsing experience on our Site, by storing certain choices you make;
In other words, these are tools used by Seriana S.p.A. whose purposes include ensuring efficient browsing, session stability and getting the right pages for the selected browsing country. They are also used to store the choices you make when viewing certain page elements, such as information and communication banners.
The use of strictly necessary cookies and the processing associated with them do not require your prior consent according to current legislation.
However, you are still entitled to stop strictly necessary cookies from being installed at any time through your browser settings, though you should be aware that this option may complicate, slow down or, sometimes, even prevent your Site browsing.
Third-party cookies
While you are browsing our Site, three is a possibility that certain cookies that are not controlled and managed directly by Seriana S.p.A. may be stored on your device.
This happens, for example, when you visit a page that includes content from a third-party website.
In this regard, please note that Seriana S.p.A. does not play any role in the processing of data deriving from this type of cookie since Seriana S.p.A. acts merely as a technical intermediary.
Third-party targeting cookies are used to display personalized ads on the Site and on other websites, and their operation is based on each user’s browsing activity. This type of cookie may also be used by third parties to show their products and services on the Site.
The Site also uses some types of third-party analytical cookies via which the following information, by way of example only, is collected:
(a) number of visitors, page views and how visitors move around the Site;
(b) effectiveness of marketing campaigns based on the source of web traffic;
(c) details on the products viewed and, where applicable, downloaded from the Site.
These cookies — and the same applies to the purposes for which they are used outside the Site — fall under the sole and exclusive responsibility of the third party installing them on your terminal, and are used to show you ads that are more relevant to you (as is the case with third-party targeting/retargeting cookies). Targeting and analytical cookies are not strictly necessary for the Site to work properly and, consequently, you can decide whether said cookies are installed or not.
If you decide you do not want third-party cookies placed on your terminal, you are entitled at any time, via the links given below, to call up the cookie policies and consent forms of said third parties and block them.
The table below gives all the cookies found on the Site, illustrating their specific characteristics and, in the case of third-party cookies, giving links to the respective privacy policies, so that you can make an informed choice as to whether to consent to their use and what cookies, if any, you want to block or delete.
