This Cookie Policy concerns the use of Cookies by the website www.villardi.it. For the website’s Privacy Policy, please click here.

Cookies are small text files that websites can use to make the User’s experience more efficient. They are sent to the User’s browser, where they are stored so that they can subsequently be transmitted back to the same website on the User’s next visit. Cookies serve various functions.

Cookies are intended to improve the functionality and navigation of this website. In other cases, however, Cookies are used to monitor Users during browsing, recording information about what the User buys or might wish to buy, in order to personalise the advertising shown to them when they open an email or browse a social network, and to personalise content, provide social media functions and analyse traffic.

Within their browser, the User can set their Privacy preferences so as not to store Cookies, to delete them after each visit or every time the browser is closed, or even to accept only Cookies from www.villardi.it and not those from third parties.

Cookies are used to collect information including:

• IP address
• Device ID
• Pages viewed
• Browser type
• Browsing information
• Operating system
• Internet service provider
• Date and time
• Whether the User came from an advertisement
• The URL from which the User came
• Functions used or activities the User has carried out on the site

Cookies also allow the User to be recognised as a Unique User when visiting different pages of a site, or different sites.

Technical Cookies

Technical Cookies are those whose use does not require the User’s consent. Technical Cookies are used solely to make it possible for the User to browse the website and to allow them to use its functions. These are always first-party Cookies, as they are conveyed directly by the Data Controller on the website.

Navigation Cookies are normally:

• Session Cookies, which are therefore automatically deactivated once the browsing browser is closed.
• Functionality Cookies, which are useful for allowing certain User preferences to be stored without having to reset them during subsequent visits. More specifically, these cookies allow the site to work properly, to enable the creation of an account, log in and manage the functions present on the website. They remember the currency and language set by the User, past searches and other preferences.
• Persistent Cookies, which are Functionality Cookies that remain stored on the User’s computer even after the browsing browser has been closed, until their scheduled expiry date or until the User decides to delete them.

Cookies may furthermore be:

Proprietary Cookies

Proprietary Cookies are managed by the owner of the domain.

Third-Party Cookies

Third-Party Cookies are cookies present on the Data Controller’s domain but owned by partners authorised by the Controller.

Taking their purpose into account, cookies are divided into:

Statistical Cookies

This site uses Statistical Cookies in order to carry out a conversion monitoring service to collect information, in aggregate form, about Users and how they visit this website. More specifically, these cookies:

• help to understand how visitors and customers use the website;
• make it possible to understand what works and what does not work on the site;
• help to understand the effectiveness of advertising and communications;
• show how users interact with the site following the display of online advertising, including advertising on third-party sites.

The data obtained through these cookies include the web pages visited, exit and entry pages, the type of platform, how the User interacts with the site, the words searched for and the text entered into the various fields. It is possible to prevent the installation of cookies by the Data Controller’s website at any time by means of a corresponding setting in the browser used, thereby permanently objecting to the setting of cookies.

Profiling Cookies

Profiling Cookies are used to create a User profile, based on the preferences and tastes shown while browsing the Internet, and to display advertising messages consistent with that profile. In this way, the advertising messages the User views on this website may be of greater interest to them.

More specifically, these cookies:

• place the User within a particular profile of interests, for example on the basis of the sites they visit and their clicks. These profiles are used to display personalised content;
• display personalised advertising based on interests. This practice is known as “Retargeting” and is based on browsing activities, purchasing habits or other online activities;
• integrate social media into the site. In this way, the User can “like” or share content or products on social media such as Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, Twitter, Pinterest, Snapchat and LinkedIn. The “like” and “share” buttons work using snippets of code provided by the individual social media providers, allowing them to place cookies on the User’s device.

These cookies may be purely functional in nature, but may also be used to track which sites the User visits in order to build a browsing profile and to display personalised advertising. As required by current legislation, prior consent is required for the installation of such Cookies.

Deleting or disabling Cookies

With the exception of Technical Cookies strictly necessary for normal browsing, the provision of Data is left to the will of the User, who decides to browse the site after having viewed the short notice contained in the relevant banner, and to make use of third-party services that involve the installation of Cookies. The User can therefore prevent the installation of Cookies by maintaining the banner or through the appropriate functions available on their own browser or in this policy. The User can manage their Cookie preferences directly within their browser and prevent third parties from installing them.

It is important that the User be aware that, by disabling all Cookies, the functioning of this Site may be compromised.
