as owner of the Website (also “Controller”) informs the user of the following.

This statement, pursuant to article 13 of EU Regulation 2016/679 of 27 April 2016 on the protection of natural persons with regard to the processing of personal (hereinafter the “Regulation”) will explain to the user how the data are collected, the purposes of the data collection and the user’s rights. This document forms an integral part of the data protection statement, available here: https://www.tenuta-santa-caterina.it/privacy.

The Website https://www.tenuta-santa-caterina.it/ (hereinafter the “WEBSITE”) uses cookies in order to improve the user’s browsing experience.

WHAT ARE COOKIES?

Cookies are small text files which are sent directly to the user’s terminal (usually the browser) when they visit a website. They are stored and then sent back to the same websites on the same user’s next visit (first-party cookies). Whilst browsing a website, the user’s terminal may also receive cookies from other websites or web servers (third-party cookies); this happens because the website visited may contain elements such as, for example, images, maps, sounds and specific links to websites of other domains which are stored on different servers from the one on which the requested web page is stored. In other words, these are cookies which are imposed by a different website from the one you are currently visiting.

Cookies may be limited to a single session on the browser (session cookies), in which case they are automatically deactivated when the user closes the browser, or they may have a pre-set expiry date, in which case they remain stored and active on the hard disk until the expiry date, continuing to collect information during each separate browser session (persistent cookies).

Cookies are used for a number of different functions. Some are necessary for allowing you to browse the Website and make use of its functionalities (technical cookies). Others are used to obtain statistical information, in an aggregated or individual form, on the number of users who access the Website and how the Website is used (tracking or analytics cookies). Lastly, others are used to track a consumer’s profile and to display adverts on the Website which may be of interest as they match the user’s preferences and purchasing habits (profiling cookies).

To find out more about these different types of cookies, users should continue to read this statement to learn about how they work and what they are used for, to then make a free choice whether or not to permit their use or block them.

FIRST-PARTY COOKIES

The Website uses the following types of technical first-party cookies, the installation of which does not require the user’s consent, although the Controller is required to provide adequate information about them:

(a) Browser or session cookies: crucial for allowing the user to navigate the Website normally and to correctly use the related services; as they are not stored on the user’s computer, they disappear when the browser is closed;

(b) “Functionality” cookies: only used to improve and speed-up browsing of the Website, by remembering certain choices made by the user (e.g. language preferences).

Essentially, they are tools used by the Controller to ensure, among other things, efficient browsing and session stability and remembering user logins and the selected country of access. They are also used to store the choices made by the user about how certain elements are displayed on the page, for example the cookies statement and information banners.

The use of technical cookies and the associated data processing does not require, under the current regulations, the prior consent of the user.

However, the user retains the option of preventing the installation of technical cookies at any time through their browser settings, in the knowledge that such a choice may complicate, slow down and sometimes prevent the use of a Website.

The Controller is only considered to be the controller for the first-party cookies installed on the Website.

THIRD-PARTY COOKIES

It is possible that, whilst a user is browsing a Website, some cookies will be stored on the user’s device which are not directly controlled and managed by the Controller. This happens, for example, when the user visits a page which includes content from a third party’s website.

In this regard, it should be noted that the Controller does not play any role in the processing of the data arising from this type of cookie as the Controller is simply a technical intermediary.

Third-party profiling cookies are used to display targeted adverts on the Website and on other websites. They function on the basis of each user’s individual browsing activity. This type of cookie can also be used by third parties to display their products and services on the Website.

The Website uses some types of third-party analytical cookies through which the following information (by way of an example) is collected:

(a) number of visitors, page views and browsing within the Website;

(b) effectiveness of marketing campaigns based on the source of web traffic;

(c) details on the products viewed and, where applicable, downloaded from the Website.

These cookies, as well as the purposes for which they are used other than for the Website, come under the sole and direct responsibility of the third party which installs them on the user’s terminal. They are used to display adverts to the user which are aligned with their own interests (this is the case for third-party profiling/retargeting cookies).

Should the user not want to receive third-party cookies on their device, they may, at any time, using the link below, access the privacy statements and consent forms of these third parties and block them.

The following table shows all of the cookies on the Website, indicating their specific properties and, in the case of third-party cookies, the links to the respective privacy statements, so that the user can make an informed decision to consent to the use of these cookies or to block or delete them.
