The website of Dallan S.p.A, Controller of your personal data pursuant to section 28 of Italian Legislative Decree 196/03, has referred you to this Cookies Policy page. With regard to the data processing, the Controller provides the following information in addition to the website Privacy Policy: the various types of Cookies and the technologies used on the Dallan S.p.A. website are described below in accordance with the provisions of the Data Protection Authority Order of May 2014, Individuazione delle modalità semplificate per l’informativa e l’acquisizione del consenso per l’uso dei cookie – 8 maggio 2014”  [Identification of simplified methods for disclosing and obtaining consent to the use of cookies – 8 May 2014] (published in the Italian Official Gazette No. 126 of 3 June 2014), which may be consulted on the website of the Garante Privacy (Data Protection Authority) and which describes how cookies should be configured as well as the conditions of use.

  1. What are Cookies

Cookies are small text files sent to users’ navigation devices (usually a browser) when visiting a website; they are stored in the corresponding browser folder while the user is visiting a website and at the next visit to the same site, the browser sends back this information.

Cookies are used to improve the browsing experience, to save user preferences that have already been entered (username, password and such) as well as to track user tastes and preferences, thereby allowing the site to manage targeted marketing initiatives or provide services connected with the business of the Controller such as newsletters, site service alerts, etc.
Limiting their usage may affect the accessibility of the website contents during browsing. Users may block the use of cookies or remove them from the browser cache at any time, but such actions may limit access to the services offered by the web application.

  1. Types of Cookies

Session or navigation cookies are temporary files, which exist only during the user’s browsing session and expire when the browser is closed. They are in general used to identify users when they access a website, to remember users’ preferences when they navigate between the pages of the website and to retrieve previously gathered specific information. The most common example of this function is that of the “virtual trolley” of an e-commerce site. When visiting a catalogue page and selecting certain items, the session cookie remembers the selection so that the elements in a virtual shopping trolley remain selected when the user goes to checkout. Without a session cookie, when users click on checkout, the new page would be unable to present the items seen and selected in the preceding pages and the trolley would remain permanently empty.

Persistent cookies are files which remain active even after the browser is closed and help websites remember data and user settings for future visits. This allows faster and easier access since the user is not required to login again. In addition to authentication, other website functionalities are available, including: language selection, theme selection, menu preferences, bookmarks or favourites and many others. During the visit users select their preferences, which will be remembered via persistent cookies for the next visit.

  1. Third-party cookies

There are various types of cookies, some of which are called third-party cookies. They are used, for example, by the first site visited by the user, which may contain ads from another server or third-party website.
The browser collects information coming from different sources so that all the elements are displayed on the same page consulted by the user, thereby creating several cookies in the corresponding browser folder.

All these cookies may be removed directly from the browser settings or through specific programs that may be free of charge. It is also possible to block the creation of cookies in advance. In this case, however, certain website services may not work as intended or may not be accessible or, no longer having the associated cookie, user preferences may even be lost and information consequently displayed in wrong local form or possibly not be available.

Google Analytics is a service provided by Google Inc. which generates detailed statistics on website traffic and traffic sources. It is the most widely used statistics service. Google Analytics may monitor users who visit the site via external links such as search engines and social networks, direct visits and reference sites. It also displays ads, pay-per-click, e-mail marketing as well as links within PDF documents.

Google AdSense is a program run by Google Inc., which allows Google network’s advertisers to post ads on their own websites and earn according to the number of viewings of the ads or the number of clicks made on them.
You can access the privacy policy at the address: https://www.google.com/adsense/localized-terms.

AddThis is a useful service for sharing articles and website texts on the various social platforms to be found on the net. It therefore simplifies the life of all those who surf a website and who use the most famous social networking sites on a more or less regular basis. AddThis.com provides a set of buttons to be put in a web page and facilitate the distribution and subscription of web contents on “social” sites such as Facebook, Twitter, etc.. The service provides two types of buttons, the first for subscription of the RSS feeds and the second for putting the contents of a web page in the various social bookmark services.

  1. Privacy and security for Cookies

Cookies are not viruses, they are just text files that are neither interpreted by the browser nor running in memory. They consequently cannot replicate or spread to other networks to be replicated again. Since they cannot perform these functions, they do not come under the standard definition of virus.

Cookies may, however, be used for malicious purposes. Since information on preferences, user history and specific browsing across multiple sites are stored through them, cookies may be used as a form of spyware.
Many anti-spyware products are well aware of this problem and routinely indicate cookies as possible threats.
