When you visit our website (www.igiemmepackaging.it), it can store or retrieve information on your browser in the form of cookies, which could concern you, your preferences or your device and are mostly used to make the site work as you expect. The collected information  allows us to provide a more personalized web experience, thanks to the data collection.  In the same time, you can choose to don’t  allow some types of cookies, avoiding the personalization of the web. In the “Cookie settings” section you can change the default settings. However, inhibiting some types of cookies may have consequences on your navigation on the site and on the use of the related services that we are able to offer.

1. What are they?

Cookies are small text strings created to store user information and to improve their navigation within websites; in particular, cookies are files that store information on hard drives or browsers. While browsing a site, the user can also receive cookies on his device that are sent from different sites or web servers (so-called “third parties”), on which some elements may reside (such as, for example, images, maps, sounds, specific links to pages of other domains) present on the site that the user is visiting.

Cookies present in browsers are used for different purposes:

  • performing computer authentications
  • session tracking
  • storing information about specific configurations regarding users accessing the server, etc.

The legislator, in implementation of the provisions contained in Directive 2009/136/EC, has prescribed the obligation to acquire the prior and informed consent of users for the installation of cookies used for purposes other than purely technical ones (see art. 1, paragraph 5, letter a), of Legislative Decree 28 May 2012, n. 69, which amended art. 122 of the Code).

In order to reach a correct regulation of these devices, it is necessary to distinguish them as  there are no technical characteristics that differentiate them.

2. Types of cookies

Two macro-categories are identified: “technical” cookies and “profiling” cookies.

a. Technical cookies.

Technical cookies are those used for the sole purpose of “carrying out the transmission of a communication on 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 such service”.

They are not used for further purposes and are normally installed directly by the owner or manager of the website. They include:

– navigation or session cookies, which guarantee normal navigation and use of the website; they are necessary for the functioning of the site, with particular reference to normal navigation and use of the same, and cannot be deactivated in our systems. They are usually only set answering to actions made that constitute a request for services, such as setting privacy preferences, logging in or filling in forms. You can set your browser to block these cookies, but as a result some or all parts of the site will not work. These cookies do not store personal information

-analytics cookies, as per  technical cookies when used directly by the site manager to collect information on the number of users and how they visit the site itself, these cookies allow us to evaluate and improve the performance of our site, help us to know which pages are the most and least popular and see how visitors navigate on our site.

All information collected by cookies are  aggregated and therefore anonymous.

– functional cookies, which allow the user to navigate according to a series of selected criteria (for example, the language, the products selected for purchase ) in order to improve the service provided to the same. They can be set by us or by third-party providers whose services have been added to our pages. If you do not allow these cookies, some or all of these services may not  work properly.

b. Profiling cookies.

Profiling cookies are designed to create profiles relating to the user and are used to send advertising messages in line with the preferences expressed by the user while browsing the internet. European and Italian legislation requires that the user be adequately informed about their use and thus express their valid consent due to the particular invasiveness that such devices may have in the private sphere of users. In fact, profiling means, pursuant to EU Regulation 2016/679, “any form of automated processing of personal data consisting of the use of such personal data to evaluate certain personal aspects relating to a natural person, in particular to analyse or predict aspects concerning that natural person’s professional performance, economic situation, health, personal preferences, interests, reliability, behaviour, location or movements” ;

Profiling cookies have, in fact, the task of profiling the user and are used to send advertising messages in line with the preferences expressed by the user during navigation. Profiling cookies can be used, even by third-party companies, to build a profile of your interests and show or send you relevant ads on this and other sites.

3. Third parties

It is possible that there is a different subject that installs cookies on the user’s terminal, depending on whether it is the same manager of the site that the user is visiting (which can be briefly indicated as the “publisher”) or a different site that installs cookies via the first (so-called “third parties”).

The obligation to provide information and acquire consent to the installation of cookies within your site is also necessary for cookies installed by “third parties”.

The denial  or the  revocation of consent to the use of one or more profiling cookies will not interfere with the ability to access to the site or navigate on  it.

As regards the acquisition of consent for profiling cookies, since it is necessary to keep the respective positions of publishers and third parties separate, it is believed that publishers, with whom users establish a direct relationship through access to the relevant site, necessarily assume a dual role.

In fact, these subjects, on the one hand, are data controllers for the cookies installed directly from their own site; on the other hand , since it is not possible to identify a joint ownership with third parties for the cookies that the latter install through them, it is considered correct to consider them as a sort of technical intermediaries between them and the users. And it is, therefore, in this capacity that they are called to operate in this resolution, with reference to the release of the information and the acquisition of the consent of online users with regard to third-party cookies.

Therefore, for cookies managed by third parties other than the owner of the site, there is an obligation for the third party to provide information and to indicate the methods for blocking the cookie, while the owner of the site is obliged to insert in the site the link to the third party site where such elements are available.

Accordingly, cookies can be classified as:

  • first-party cookies, i.e. cookies generated and managed directly by the manager of the website on which the user is browsing.
  • third – party cookies , which are generated and managed by parties other than the manager of the website on which the user is browsing (usually pursuant to a contract between the owner of the website and the third party).

4. Duration of cookies

Cookies have a duration dictated by the expiration date (or by a specific action such as closing the browser) set at the time of installation. 
Cookies can be:

  • temporary or session cookies (session cookies): they are used to store temporary information, allow you to connect the actions performed during a specific session and are removed from the computer when the browser is closed;
  • permanent ( persistent cookies): they are used to store information, such as the name and password, so as to avoid the user having to re-enter them each time he visits a specific site. These remain stored on the computer even after closing the browser.

For the specific duration of individual cookies, please refer to the “Cookie List”.

5. Cookie management

In reference to the provision for the Identification of simplified procedures for the information and acquisition of consent for the use of cookies – 8 May 2014 (Published in the Official Journal no. 126 of 3 June 2014), you can change your consent to cookies at any time by clicking on the “Cookie Settings” link.

7. How to disable cookies through browser configuration

Below are instructions on how to disable/delete cookies, based on the type of browser used. Please remember that, for the correct functioning of the site, some technical cookies are essential and their eventual uninstallation could preclude navigation.

Depending on the browser used, you can proceed to disable cookies by following the specific instructions provided:

If consent has already been given but you want to change the cookie permissions, you must delete them through the browser, as indicated below, because otherwise those already installed will not be removed. In particular, please note that it is not possible to control third-party cookies in any way, so if consent has already been given previously, you must proceed to delete the cookies through the browser (dedicated section) or by requesting the opt -out directly from the third parties
