Cookies Policy

Introduction
The website www.tecnochimica.eu uses cookies and similar technologies for various purposes, including ensuring the proper functioning of procedures and improving the user experience with online applications. In particular, all the purposes pursued by the company through the use of such tools will be detailed in this document.
In this regard, in accordance with Articles 13 and 122 of Legislative Decree No. 196/2003 and Regulation EU No. 2016/679 (the so-called "Privacy Code"), as well as the Privacy Guarantor's Provision of May 8, 2014 (web doc. No. 3118884), Tecnochimica Spa, the data controller, provides users of the website www.tecnochimica.eu with detailed information regarding the use of cookies (and similar technologies) and how they are used and managed.

  1. Definition and Types of Cookies

2.1. What are cookies?
Using the clear definition provided by the Privacy Guarantor, "cookies are small text strings sent by the websites visited by the user to their terminal (usually the browser), where they are stored and then retransmitted to the same websites upon the user's next visit."
During navigation, the user may receive cookies not only from the website they are visiting but also from other websites or web servers (so-called "third parties").
In fact, some elements on the webpage being viewed (e.g., images, maps, sounds, links, etc.) may be installed by an entity other than the owner of the website being viewed.
Cookies are often present in large numbers in the user's browser and sometimes have a high degree of persistence.
The purposes for which they are used can vary widely: from purely technical reasons (e.g., enabling easier and smoother navigation) to actual profiling activities (i.e., the creation of trends, preferences, or behavior patterns linked to a specific individual to make advertising messages more effective).

2.2. What are the types of cookies?
In general, cookies can be divided into two broad categories:
a) "Technical" Cookies;
b) "Profiling" Cookies;
c) Proprietary and Third-Party Cookies.

a) Technical Cookies
These are cookies used solely for the purpose of "carrying out the transmission of communication over an electronic communication network, or to the extent strictly necessary for the service provider of the information society explicitly requested by the subscriber or user to provide the service" (cf. Article 122, paragraph 1, Privacy Code).
In other words, these tools are necessary to enable navigation or to provide a service requested by the user.
Without them, some operations would either be impossible to perform within the website or would become more complex (and sometimes less secure). For example, think of cookies in online banking sites that allow the user’s identification to be maintained throughout a session, thus avoiding the need to repeatedly enter login credentials (with implications for security).
Another feature of this type of cookie is that they are not used for purposes other than those indicated, and are typically installed by the website owner (or manager).

b) Profiling Cookies
These cookies are used to create user profiles and are employed to send advertising messages in line with the preferences expressed by the user during their web browsing.
Due to their intrusive nature regarding the user's privacy, these cookies require the user's informed consent before they can be installed on their terminal.

c) Proprietary and Third-Party Cookies
A further distinction is made based on the entity that installs the cookies on the user's terminal.
When visiting a webpage, cookies can be received from either the website owner (in this case, they are called "Proprietary" cookies) or from other organizations’ websites (so-called "Third-Party" cookies). A common example of the latter category is the Google Analytics service.
It is important to note that the distinction between technical and profiling cookies can also apply to third-party cookies.
Depending on the purpose for which these third-party cookies are used, they can be classified as "Third-Party Technical Cookies" or "Third-Party Profiling Cookies."

2.3. Cookies and the Request for Express Consent
According to current regulations in Italy, the use of cookies does not always require the user's express consent. While technical cookies do not require consent, consent is mandatory for profiling cookies.
