Cookies Policy
Our Cookie Policy aims to describe the types of cookies used by the website www.simetria.it (hereinafter ‘Website’), the purposes of the cookies installed, and the ways in which the User can select or deselect the cookies present on the Website that use the services offered.
We use cookies to make our Website easier to use and more intuitive. The data collected through the cookies is used to make the browsing experience more enjoyable and more efficient in the future.
1. WHAT ARE COOKIES?
Cookies are small text strings which the applications visited by the User send to their terminal (usually the browser), where they are stored before being sent back to the same applications during the next visit by the same User.
The term ‘cookie’ refers to both cookies themselves and all similar technologies.
Cookies are used to access online services more quickly and to improve User browsing by monitoring sessions, storing User information, loading content more quickly, etc.
2. TYPES OF COOKIES
Cookies can be:
First-party cookies: these are the proprietary cookies used by the Website in order to allow the User to navigate more efficiently and/or to monitor the actions carried out by the User;
Third-party cookies: cookies set by a website other than the one you are currently visiting in order to allow the User to navigate more efficiently and/or to monitor the actions carried out by the User.
Furthermore, there are various types of cookies:
Technical and Analytics Cookies: these are cookies relating to activities strictly necessary for the operation and provision of the service (e.g. session cookies for login), cookies relating to the saving of preferences and optimisation (e.g. cookies to save the shopping basket or language/currency choices, etc.), analytics cookies to collect information in an anonymous and aggregate form.
Technical cookies include:
Session or Navigation Cookies: these are used to keep track of the User’s activity on the network. They ensure the normal navigation and use of the Website, for example by allowing the User to browse more quickly, to make a purchase or to authenticate themselves in order to access restricted areas, and are in fact necessary for the correct functioning of the Website;
Functionality Cookies: these allow the User to browse the Website based on the selected criteria (e.g. language, products selected for purchase, etc.) in order to improve the service provided to them;
Analytics Cookies: used to collect information on the use of the Website. The Owner uses this information for statistical analysis, to improve the Website and simplify its use, as well as to monitor its correct functioning. This type of cookie collects anonymous information about User activity on the Website, the channels used to arrive at the Website, and the pages viewed. Cookies in this category are sent from the Website or from third-party domains. Analytics cookies can be:
First-party Analytics Cookies: similar on a regulatory level to technical cookies if used directly by the Website Owner without profiling the User but only to collect information, in an aggregate and anonymous form, on the number of Users and on how they visit the Website, for statistical purposes and to improve the performance of the Website;
Third-party Analytics Cookies: these are made available by third parties and are similar to technical cookies if the third parties do not profile the User, instead using suitable tools to reduce the identification powers of the cookies (for example, through the masking of significant portions of the IP address) and without cross-checking the information collected with other information already available.
For technical cookies, only the issuance of the Cookie Policy is required, without the need to request consent. Disabling or deleting them by accessing the functions of your browser could compromise optimal navigation on this Website.
Profiling Cookies: these are used to monitor the User’s web browsing and create a profile of their habits:
First-party Profiling Cookies: installed by the Owner to create profiles relating to the User in order to send advertising messages in line with the preferences expressed while browsing the internet. Given that such tools can be particularly invasive in terms of user privacy, the applicable legislation requires that the User, after being adequately informed on their use, must express their consent;
Third-party Profiling Cookies: used by third parties who access the information in clear text, therefore not in an anonymous and aggregate form, and cross-check it with other data already in their possession. The Website does not have direct control of individual third-party cookies. The User is therefore invited to check the cookie policy on the third party’s website.
The use of these cookies requires the acquisition of the User’s prior consent.
