3. Cookie or other similar tools

The website www.biessegroup.com (hereinafter "Site") uses cookies.

1. What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files sent to the user’s terminal equipment (usually to the user’s browser) by the websites the user visits; they are stored in the user´s terminal equipment to be then re-transmitted to the websites on the user’s subsequent visits.

Each cookie generally includes:

• the name of the server from which the cookie was sent;
• the expiry date and a value, usually a unique number generated randomly by the computer.

First party and third party cookies

Unlike first-party cookies, which are put on your device directly by the website you are visiting, third-party cookies are placed on your device by a third party (like an advertiser or an analytic system)

Permanent and session cookies

Session cookies are temporary and expire once you close your browser (or once your session ends).

Persistent cookies remain on your hard drive until you erase them or your browser does, depending on the cookie’s expiration date. All persistent cookies have an expiration date written into their code, but their duration can vary.

Technical, analytical and profiling cookies

Depending on the purpose, cookies can be divided into technical cookies and profiling cookies.

Technical cookies are stored for the sole purpose of "carrying out the transmission of a communication over an electronic communication network or as strictly necessary for the supplier of an information society service explicitly requested by subscriber or user to provide the service" (see Art. 122, paragraph 1 of Privacy Code).

They are essential for you to browse the websites and use its features, such as accessing secure areas of sites (so-called “essential” or “strictly necessary”). They allow a user to navigate back and forth between pages without losing their previous actions from the same session. Cookies that allow web shops to hold your items in your cart while you are shopping online are an example of strictly necessary cookies. These cookies will generally be first-party session cookies.

This category include also “preferences cookies” (also known as “functionality cookies”), which allow a website to remember choices you have made in the past, like what language you prefer, what region you would like weather reports for, or what your user name and password are so that you can automatically log in.

“Statistics” or “analytical” cookies (also known as “performance cookies”) collect information about how you use a website, which pages you visited and which links you clicked on in order to improve website functions.

Pursuant to the art. 122, paragraph 1 of the Privacy Code, technical cookies do not require consent, but what they do and why they are necessary or useful should be explained to the user.

Pursuant the Decision, analytical cookies are equivalent to technical cookies (and, therefore, the consent of users is not required) if:

1. are stored directly exclusively by the owner of the website visited with the purpose to collect aggregated information on the number of users and how they visit the website, or
2. made available to the owner of the website by third parties and used for merely statistical purposes, where the ability to identify users is reduced (for example, through hiding significant portions of the IP address) and where their use is subject to contractual restrictions between the first party and third parties, which expressly require the third party to agree to either use them solely to provide the service, to store them separately as well as not to “match them” with other available information.

“Profiling” or “marketing” cookies are used to track your on line activity and behaviour for marketing purposes. They allow advertisers to create profiles of users’ preferences, habits, choices, etc. in order to deliver them targeted advertising.

These kinds of cookies can be stored on the user’s device only after the users have given their consent.

Uses must be able to access the websites even if they refuse to allow the use of profiling cookies.

2. Cookie and other similar tools used by this Site

Once the above data retention terms have expired, data will be destroyed or anonymized, consistent with the erasure and backup technical procedures.

4. Categories of recipients to whom data may be disclosed

Data are processed by the controllers’ employees – responsible for carrying out the activities outlined above – expressly authorized and instructed to process the data.

Data may be processed, on behalf of the Controller, by third parties, designated as Data Processors pursuant to art. 28 of GDPR, such as natural and/or legal persons carrying out activities that are functional or related to the purposes stated in this privacy policy, including the company which provides and manage the Site.

Data may be disclosed to entities acting as controllers, such as providers (third parties listed in the tables hereinabove with the list of cookies, for which please refer to the relative information notice indicated in the link) supervisory authorities legally authorized to access to data and professional firms. Where the data are transferred to countries outside the European Union (EU) or the European Economic Area (EEA) that have not been deemed adequate by the European Commission, the "transfer tools" referred to in Article 45 of the GDPR will be used, assessing the possible implementation of "additional measures" to guarantee an essentially equivalent level of protection under EU law. For further information, see the links to the information of the providers indicated in the table.

5. Procedures for giving and withdrawing consent to the installation of profiling cookies

Profiling cookies will be installed on your devices only if you give your consent, expressed by selecting the "Accept all cookies" button or by selecting the category of cookies and then clicking on "Accept only selected cookies" within the banner. Consent to the use of cookies is recorded with a special "technical cookie".

You can always change your preference by clicking on the link "Cookie policy" located at the bottom of each page of the Site.

However, users can also express their preferences regarding cookies through the settings of the browser used.
