You can change the choice you made in the cookie banner at any time:

1. What are cookies?

We use the term “cookies” to refer to cookies and similar technologies through which information can be collected automatically.

An “Internet cookie” (also known as a “browser cookie”, “HTTP cookie” or simply “cookie”) is a small file made up of letters and numbers that is stored on the computer, mobile device or other equipment a user accesses the internet from. Cookies are set by a request sent from a web server to a browser (e.g. Internet Explorer, Firefox, Chrome). Once set, cookies have a limited lifespan and remain “passive”: they contain no software, viruses or spyware and do not access the information on the hard drive of the user whose device they were set on.

A cookie consists of two parts:

the name of the cookie; and
the content or value of the cookie.

Technically, only the web server that sent the cookie can access it again when the user returns to the website associated with that web server.

2. What cookies are used for on this website:

Cookies are used to give the users of this website a better browsing experience and services tailored to each user’s needs and interests, namely for:

improving the use of this website, including by identifying any errors that occur while users visit or use it;
providing anonymous statistics on how this website is used to EDITH VAL S.R.L, as the owner of this website;
anticipating products that may be offered to users through this website in the future, based on the services / products they viewed.

Based on the feedback that cookies provide on how this website is used, EDITH VAL S.R.L can take steps to make this website more efficient and more accessible to users.

Cookies therefore allow certain settings/preferences chosen by the users of this website to be remembered, such as:

the language a page is displayed in;
the currency certain prices or rates are shown in;
easier access to user accounts;
posting comments on the website.

3. How long do cookies last?

The lifespan of a cookie can vary significantly, depending on the purpose it is set for. The following categories of cookies also determine how long they last:

Session cookies – a “session cookie” is a cookie that is deleted automatically when the user closes the browser.
Persistent cookies – a “persistent” cookie is a cookie that remains stored on the user’s device until it reaches a set expiry date (which may be minutes, days or several years in the future) or until the user deletes it at any time through the browser settings.

4. What are third-party cookies?

Some content on this website may be provided by third parties, that is, not by EDITH VAL S.R.L, in which case these cookies are called third-party cookies.

Third-party cookie providers must also comply with data protection rules and with the Privacy Policy available on this website.

These cookies may come from the following third parties: Google Analytics, Facebook.

Google Analytics and the Facebook pixel load only after you give consent in the cookie banner.

The form on the contact page uses Google reCAPTCHA, a Google service that blocks automated messages (spam). reCAPTCHA loads only on the contact page and may set Google cookies. The form cannot be sent without it, so it loads regardless of your choice in the cookie banner. Details in Google's Privacy Policy.

5. Which cookies are used on this website:

Using or visiting this website may set the following cookies:
a. Website performance cookies;
b. Visitor analytics cookies;
c. Geotargeting cookies;
d. Registration cookies;
e. Advertising cookies;
f. Advertising provider cookies;

a. Performance cookies

These cookies remember the preferences of the user of this website, so they do not have to be set again on later visits.

b. Visitor analytics cookies

These cookies tell us whether a particular user has visited or used this website before. They are used for statistical purposes only.

c. Geotargeting cookies

These cookies are used by software that determines the country the website user comes from. The same ads will be shown regardless of the language selected.

d. Registration cookies

When you register on this website, cookies are created to remember this. Our servers use these cookies to show us the account you are registered with. These cookies also allow us to link any comment posted on the website to the username of the account used. If the “keep me signed in” option was not selected, these cookies are deleted automatically when the browsing session ends.

e. Advertising cookies

These cookies show whether a user has seen an online ad, what type of ad it was and how much time has passed since they saw it. They are therefore used to target online advertising. These cookies are anonymous: they store information about the content viewed, not about the users.

6. What kind of information is stored and accessed through cookies?

Cookies keep information in a small text file that allows the browser to be recognised. This website recognises the browser until the cookies expire or are deleted.

7. Customising your browser’s cookie settings

If you do not mind cookies and you are the only person using the computer or device you browse this website on, you can set long expiry periods for storing your browsing history. If the computer or device you browse this website on is used by several people, you may want to set the browser to delete individual browsing data every time it is closed.

8. How can cookies be turned off?

Disabling or refusing cookies may make this website difficult to visit and limit how you can use it.

Users can set their browser to reject cookies or to accept cookies only from a specific website.

All modern browsers let you change cookie settings. These settings are usually found under “Options” or in your browser’s “Preferences” menu.

However, refusing or disabling cookies does not mean you will no longer see online ads – only that they will not be tailored to the preferences and interests shown by your browsing behaviour.
