Extended information text on the use of cookies

This website geafoodlab.it uses technical cookies to guarantee the correct functioning of the procedures and improve the experience of using online applications. This document provides information on the use of cookies and similar technologies, how they are used by the site and how to manage them.

Definitions

Cookies are small text files that the sites visited by users send to their terminals, where they are stored before being re-transmitted to the same sites on the next visit. The so-called “third party” cookies are, however, set by a website other than the one the user is visiting. This is because on each site there may be elements (images, maps, sounds, specific links to web pages of other domains, etc.) that reside on servers other than that of the site visited.

Types of cookies

Based on the characteristics and use of cookies, different categories can be distinguished:

– Technical cookies. Technical cookies are those used for the sole purpose of “carrying out the transmission of a communication over an electronic communications network, or to the extent strictly necessary for the provider of an information society service explicitly requested by the subscriber or user to provide this service” (see art. 122, paragraph 1, of the Code). They are not used for further purposes and are normally installed directly by the owner or manager of the website. They can be divided into navigation or session cookies, which guarantee normal navigation and use of the website; analytics cookies, assimilated to technical cookies when used directly by the site manager to collect information, in aggregate form, on the number of users and how they visit the site itself; functionality cookies, which allow the user to navigate according to a series of selected criteria in order to improve the service provided. For the installation of these cookies, the prior consent of the users is not required, while the obligation to provide the information pursuant to art. 13 of the Code, which the site manager, if he uses only such devices, can provide in the manner he deems most suitable.

– Profiling cookies. Profiling cookies are aimed at creating profiles relating to the user and are used to send advertising messages in line with the preferences expressed by the user when browsing the internet. Due to the particular invasiveness that these devices can have in the private sphere of users, European and Italian legislation requires that the user must be adequately informed about their use and thus express their valid consent. The art refers to them. 122 of the Code where it provides that “the storage of information in the terminal device of a contractor or user or access to information already archived is permitted only on condition that the contractor or user has expressed his/her consent after being been informed with the simplified methods referred to in article 13, paragraph 3” (article 122, paragraph 1, of the Code). This site does not use profiling cookies.

An example is represented by the presence of “social plugins” for Facebook, Twitter, Google or LinkedIn, or embedded (integrated) multimedia content viewing systems such as Youtube, Flikr. These are parts generated directly by the aforementioned sites and integrated into the web page of the host site visited. The presence of these plugins involves the transmission of cookies to and from all sites managed by third parties.

Duration of cookies

Some cookies (session cookies) remain active only until the browser is closed or the logout command is executed. Other cookies “survive” when the browser is closed and are also available on subsequent visits by the user. These cookies are called persistent and their duration is set by the server at the time of their creation. In some cases a deadline is set, in other cases the duration is unlimited.

Newsletter

The newsletter is one of the communication and sharing tools. To manage it we use MailChimp – their privacy policy . Below are details regarding what information is collected.

Information collected

When a user signs up for the newsletter – from the dedicated panel – they are asked to enter this information: your name, your surname and your email address.

How this information is collected

Mailchimp’s embedded code is used to display the signup form and collect this information. This code sends your first name, last name and email address to my MailChimp account. It also sends MailChimp some other information related to the registration: among others, the date, time, and method the user used to register.
MailChimp stores this information on its servers.
This data will not be recorded on other media or devices, nor will other data deriving from navigation on the site be recorded.
The provision of data is optional. Refusal to provide data will make it impossible to access the newsletter service.

What will be sent

When the user signs up for the newsletter it is sent via email (without a precise frequency):

• news and previews relating to content on the site;
• details on offers, promotions and services at discounted prices.

Who has access to this information

Access to this information is limited to the administrators of the geafoodlab.it site, therefore it will not be shared in any way with anyone else or with any third party service.

How to delete this information

You can request the deletion of information relating to the newsletter from the appropriate unsubscribe link in the welcome email received during the first registration phase. Or, the user can send an email to “contattaci@geafoodlab.it” requesting to unsubscribe from the newsletter.
