COOKIES POLICY

This cookie policy refers exclusively to the company’s website www.cielspa.it (“website”) and should be understood as an integral part of its Privacy Policy.

DEFINITIONS, CHARACTERISTICS, AND ENFORCEMENT

Cookies are small text files that sites visited by the user send and record on the user’s computer or mobile device, only to be transmitted back to the same sites on the next visit.

It is precisely because of cookies that a site remembers the user’s actions and preferences (such as, for example, login details, chosen language, font size, other display settings, etc.) so that they do not have to be indicated again when the user returns to said site or navigates from one page to another of it.

Cookies, therefore, are used to perform computer authentication, session tracking and storage of information regarding the activities of users accessing a site and may also contain a unique identification code that allows tracking of the user’s navigation within the site itself for statistical or advertising purposes.

In the course of browsing a site, you may also receive on your computer or mobile device cookies from sites or web servers other than the one you are visiting (so-called “third-party” cookies).

Some operations could not be accomplished without the use of cookies, which in some cases are therefore technically necessary for the very operation of the site.

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.

Under current Italian law, the use of cookies does not always require the user’s express consent.

In particular, “technical cookies”, i.e. those used for the sole purpose of carrying out the transmission of a communication over an electronic communication network, or to the extent strictly necessary to provide a service explicitly requested by the user, do not require such consent.

These are, in other words, cookies that are indispensable for the operation of the site or necessary to perform activities requested by the user.

Among the technical cookies, which do not require express consent for their use, the Italian Data Protection Authority (see Provvedimento Individuazione delle modalità semplificate per l’informativa e l’acquisizione del consenso per l’uso dei cookie of May 8, 2014, hereinafter only “Provvedimento” and “Linee guida cookies e altri strumenti di tracciamento – 10 giugno 2021”) 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);

functionality cookies, which allow the user to navigate according to a set of selected criteria (for example, language, products selected for purchase) in order to improve the service rendered to the same.

For “profiling cookies”, vice versa, i.e., those aimed at creating profiles relating to the user and used in order to send advertising messages in line with the preferences expressed by the same in the context of web browsing, prior user consent is required.

HOW TO MANAGE YOUR COOKIE PREFERENCES VIA BROWSER AS WELL

The user can select which cookies to authorize through the appropriate procedure set up in the section Settings relating to cookies, as well as authorize, block or delete (in whole or in part) the cookies through the specific functions of your browsing program (c.d. browser) or through the use of specific software: however, in the event that all or some of the cookies are disabled, it is possible that the Site may not be consultable or that some services or certain functions of the Site may not be available or may not function properly and/or the user may be forced to change or manually enter certain information or preferences each time he/she visits the Site.
