Addition to the privacy policy
This cookie policy is a supplement to the privacy policy of this website. The cookie policy specifies how a website uses cookies and what data it collects through them, while the privacy policy is a more comprehensive overview of all data processing activities on the website and beyond.
What are cookies and similar technologies?
Cookies are small text-file-like pieces of information that can be stored on and read from the end device. They serve various purposes, including maintaining the basic functionality of the website, security and privacy, providing optional website features, collecting statistical data on visitor flows, and providing marketing systems. Practical examples of what can be stored in cookies include storing the login status in user accounts, the content of shopping carts on e-commerce platforms, or a user ID for tracking behavior on the website.
Technically, information can be stored in various ways. The best-known examples are HTTP cookies and cookie-like technologies, such as local storage, session storage, or IndexedDB. Each type of storage has different properties, which determine the technical handling, accessibility, and the controllers authorized to access the information. All these types of storage are usually summarized under the term “cookies” and are therefore referred to as such in this cookie policy.
What is the legal basis for setting/reading cookies?
Setting and reading cookies in the European Union (EU) and the European Economic Area (EEA) is permitted, in accordance with Article 122 of the Italian Personal Data Protection Code (Codice in materia di protezione dei dati personali), only if the user has given consent based on complete information about the purposes of the processing. The website operator may also set cookies if they are strictly necessary to provide the user with the service expressly requested, such as the basic content of this website or other cookies strictly necessary for the basic functionality of the website, to be shown to the user without their consent.
What rights does the website visitor have?
Services and their related cookies can be set and read on the legal basis of consent or legitimate interest. When the user first visited this website, they were asked for consent and given the opportunity to object to the use of certain services. We explain which legal basis is used for which service in the consent dialog.
The user has the right to view the history of their decisions, to change their privacy settings, to object to the use of the services, and to withdraw their consent at any time. Below are the options for exercising these rights:
How to manage cookies in a browser?
- How to remove cookies in a browser: to remove cookies from the device, you can clear browsing data in the browser settings. This action removes all cookies from all visited websites, potentially including saved login data and site preferences. In some browsers, it is possible to delete only cookies and similar data without clearing the entire browsing history.
- How to check cookies in a browser: for more granular control over specific website cookies, you can go to the browser’s privacy and cookie settings, where you can adjust preferences relating to the use of cookies by individual sites.
- How to block cookies in a browser: most modern browsers can be configured to block the setting of all cookies on the device. Blocking cookies may, however, cause some services and features to stop working properly, such as user login. You can also use browser extensions that block the setting of cookies on websites.
- How to manage cookies on this website: to customize your cookie preferences on this website, you can change them at any time by clicking the link in the “Website visitor rights” section.
More information on managing cookies is available at devowl.io/rcb/cookie-handling/.
What types of cookies exist?
- Essential cookies are indispensable for the basic functionality of a website and enable functions such as saving login information or accessing secure areas of the site. These include, for example, security cookies that can identify unwanted bots on the website by storing an authentication key in a cookie.
- Functional cookies improve the user experience by storing information and preferences, such as language or appearance settings for the website, to provide a personalized experience. These include, for example, preference cookies that store the user’s preferred video quality on a website.
- Statistical cookies collect data on the use of a website to gain insight into user behavior and optimize site performance. These include, for example, a randomly assigned user ID that allows attributing a visit to a subpage of the website.
- Marketing cookies are used to track user behavior across different websites and to display personalized advertising based on interests and browsing behavior. These include, for example, advertising cookies that store an interaction with an ad on the website and transmit it to advertisers, or a chat system for pre-sales questions and customer support.
Who can set cookies on this website?
On this website, both the site operator and the third-party services used on this site can set cookies and access their content. Who can access which cookies and their content differs between first-party and third-party cookies. First-party cookies are created by the visited website and can only be read by the site operator and the third-party services integrated into this site. Third-party cookies are set by services usually belonging to third parties on other domains, can be read by all websites in which the service controlling the domain is embedded, and are used, for example, by advertising networks to track user behavior across different websites and offer personalized advertising.
