1. Che cos’è un cookie e a cosa serve?

Cookies were created in 1994 by Lou Montulli, a Netscape employee, to solve problems related to the limitations in identifying computers connected to a web page. Without cookies, sites cannot know whether two requests come from the same device, which is why it is necessary to assign them labels.

Cookies are stored on the visitor's hard disk or in their computer's memory. A cookie is a small file sent by a web server (the computer on which the visited website is running) to the user's browser (Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome, etc.) and saved on your device when you visit a website such as Micaela Scapin. Cookies enable the site to run efficiently and improve its performance; they also provide Micaela Scapin with information for statistical or advertising purposes, mainly to personalise the browsing experience by remembering preferences and browsing habits.

A cookie can be compared to a strictly personal identification card, whose task is to tell Micaela Scapin when you return. Many websites, including www.micaelascapin.it (the "Site"), make use of them. Cookies show how often you visit pages, which helps us understand what information might interest visitors. This way, we can offer more content that matches specific behaviour and less that may not be relevant to the user. Cookies help make the site more efficient, remember preferences and usernames, register products and services, and personalise pages.

Cookies do not collect information that directly identifies the user. In fact, Micaela Scapin cannot use cookies to trace any directly identifying personal information (e.g. first name, surname) unless it is provided directly by the user. Furthermore, another website cannot use a cookie issued by the Site to access other information stored on the user's computer. Once saved on the computer, a cookie can only be read by the website that created it (in our case, www.micaelascapin.it). In practice, if you do not register on the Site and do not enter personal information, the only thing the server knows is that someone with that cookie has returned to visit us. Nothing else.

Cookies can be "session" cookies (stored only for the duration of the browsing session on the site and deleted when the browser is closed), or "persistent" cookies (stored for a longer period, until they expire or are deleted by the user).

Micaela Scapin protects the confidentiality of personal data and ensures it receives the necessary protection against any event that could put it at risk of breach.

As required by EU Regulation 2016/679 and the applicable legislation on the processing of personal data, the user (the "Data Subject") is provided with the following information regarding so-called "cookies".

2. Types of Cookies

Various types of cookies and similar technologies may be used, each with a specific function.

To optimise use of the site and its full functionality, your computer, tablet or mobile device must accept certain types of cookies considered necessary. Our cookie policy provides information about the types of cookies used and how to manage, control and delete them.

We would like to clarify that cookies do not damage your device.

Necessary (Technical) Cookies

From your very first visit, these cookies allow the site to function properly and let you view content on your device by recognising the language and market of the country you have chosen to connect from. If you are, for example, a registered user, they will allow you to be recognised and to access the services offered in dedicated areas. Navigation cookies are technical cookies and are necessary for the site to function.

These cookies are usually temporary, so-called "session cookies", and are issued by the Site on the user's computer while browsing, but are stored only for the duration of that browsing session. This means that when the user closes their browser, the cookies are automatically deleted and disappear, without remaining stored on the computer. They consist of random numbers generated by the server and are used to enable safe and efficient browsing of the Site. Necessary cookies are absolutely essential for the website to function properly. This category only includes cookies that ensure the basic functionalities and security features of the website. These cookies do not store any personal information.

The use of technical cookies and the related processing activities does not require the user's consent. The legal basis allowing the processing of the related data is the performance of services requested directly by the data subject (Art. 6.1(b) of Regulation (EU) 2016/679 – 'GDPR').

Functional Cookies

These cookies allow, based on your express request, the user's navigation within the Site to be facilitated, for example by recognising you on subsequent visits so you do not have to enter your data at every visit (for example: "Remember me next time", so-called authentication cookies). Functional cookies help perform certain features such as sharing website content on social media platforms, collecting feedback and other third-party features.

Functional cookies are not essential for the site to function, but they improve the quality and browsing experience. However, since they are installed in response to services requested directly by the user, these cookies do not require the user's consent. For this reason, they may be treated in the same way as technical cookies.

Performance Cookies

Performance cookies are used to understand and analyse key website performance indicators, which helps provide a better user experience for visitors.

Analytics Cookies

Analytics cookies are used to understand how visitors interact with the website. These cookies help provide information on metrics such as the number of visitors, bounce rate, traffic source, etc.

Social Network Cookies

These cookies are necessary to allow your social account to interact with the Site. They are used, for example, to let you express your appreciation and share it with your social media friends. Social network cookies are not necessary for browsing. This specific type of service allows interactions to be activated with social networks or other external platforms directly from the Site's pages. It is understood that the processing of personal data collected through these services, by the relevant social networks, is governed exclusively by the privacy settings selected by each user for their account on the specific platform.

It is in any case possible to disable/enable or delete cookies at any time using your web browser's settings. In particular, if you wish not to receive cookies, you can set your browser so that you are alerted to the presence of a cookie and can decide whether to accept it or not; you can also automatically refuse all cookies by activating the appropriate option in the browser. It is also possible to delete specific cookies that have already been stored within the browser, or block the storage of cookies on your computer by specific websites, or block third-party cookies.

Each browser has its own way of managing cookies; in the administration or preferences panel it is possible to modify/manage the parameters and proceed with deletion.

6. Acceptance of cookies

Upon accessing any page of the Site, the user is shown a banner containing brief information about how cookies are managed and the choices the user can make, with the option to obtain more information by consulting this extended notice.

Please note that your consent will only be requested on your first visit to the Site: subsequently, thanks to the use of a technical cookie, we will store your consent so that you can access the Site's pages directly upon your return. The right to disable/enable cookies at any time via the "REVIEW CONSENT" tab visible on every page of the site, or to delete them (paragraph 5), remains unaffected: in that case, upon your return, the Site will ask for your consent again.
