COOKIE POLICY
What are cookies, what are they used for, and who installs them? Cookies are small text strings that the websites you visit send to your device (e.g., PC, tablet, smartphone...) where they are stored and/or read by the browser and allow the browser to send information to those who installed the cookies to offer you optimal navigation, produce visit statistics, propose personalised content, and targeted advertising. Cookies are contained in various elements hosted on the website page itself (such as advertising banners, images, videos, etc.).
- First-party cookies: these are cookies sent by the site of the Data Controller, which you are visiting.
- Third-party cookies: these are cookies sent by a site different from the one you are visiting, which installs its own cookies through the site of the Data Controller.
During navigation on this site, you may receive the following cookies on your device:
The management and responsibility of first-party cookies lie with the Data Controller, while for third-party cookies, the Data Controller has no control over the activity of the third party or the possibility that the third party may modify them over time. Regarding third-party cookies, the Data Controller acts as an intermediary and, in this capacity, refers to the third party's information notice, accessible via a specific link placed next to each cookie indicated in the appropriate area accessible from the banner or present at the bottom.
Other tracking tools. Similarly to cookies, other tracking tools are being developed that allow pursuing the same purposes. These tracking tools can be categorised according to various criteria, but the main grouping criterion remains the purpose for which they are used: technical or commercial.
a) What is the purpose of this Cookie Policy?
In compliance with the current legislation on personal data protection (in particular Regulation (EU) 2016/679 on personal data protection “GDPR” and the European and Italian cookie legislation), we wish to inform you about the processing of your personal data collected through cookies (and possibly other similar tracking tools) also from third parties. The processing will be based on principles of fairness, lawfulness, and transparency, as well as the protection of your privacy and your rights.
b) Who is the Data Controller? How to contact them?
The Data Controller of your personal data is OVS S.p.A. with registered office in Mestre (Venice), via Terraglio, 17, C.A.P. 30174, Tax Code/VAT number 04240010274 (hereinafter the Data Controller). The Data Controller can be contacted at the postal address indicated above or at the following email address: responsabileprotezionedati@ovs.it.
c) What cookies does this site use? For what purposes, on what legal basis? Is it mandatory to provide data? What happens if you do not provide them?
The cookies used by this site can be classified into the following categories: 1) Technical cookies, which are used to make the site work, and 2) Profiling cookies, which are used to track user behaviour to analyse it to offer services based on their preferences. Below are the relevant details:
1. Technical Cookies, which do not require your consent
- Navigation or session cookies, which are used to ensure normal navigation and use of the website (allowing, for example, to make a purchase or authenticate to access restricted areas);
- Anonymous analytics cookies, these are cookies used to collect information, in aggregate form and therefore not attributable to the individual, relating to the number of users, the most visited pages, the locations from which connections are made, etc., to compile statistics on the service and the use of the site. These cookies can also be from third parties. In this case, however, the Data Controller must have anonymised them (e.g., by anonymising the IP or masking part of it) and must not allow the third party to cross-reference the information collected through the site with other information already in its possession.
- Functionality cookies, which allow the user to navigate according to a series of selected criteria (e.g., language, selected products for purchase) to improve the service provided to the user.
- Legal Basis. For navigation or functionality cookies, the legal basis lies in the performance of a service or contract or pre-contractual measures (Art. 6.b of the GDPR) as they are necessary to make the site and the requested service usable by users. The use of such cookies does not require your consent. For anonymous analytics cookies, the legal basis lies in the legitimate interest of the Data Controller to constantly improve the site and the requested service by users (Art. 6.f of the GDPR). You have the right to object to the use of such cookies if you believe that your interests or your fundamental rights and freedoms outweigh the legitimate interests of the Data Controller. The Data Controller will refrain from further use of such cookies unless it demonstrates the existence of compelling legitimate grounds that override your right to object or for the establishment, exercise, or defence of legal claims (Art. 21 GDPR). To object to the use of such cookies, you must exercise the right granted to you by the GDPR by contacting the Data Controller at the address indicated above.
- Necessity of providing data and consequences. The provision of data collected through the cookies described above is not mandatory, but it is necessary for connecting to the site and providing the service. In the absence of partial or total provision, it will not be possible to use the site, or there may be problems in its use. The list of Technical cookies used by this site with their characteristics (e.g., characteristics, data retention times, etc.) is available in the appropriate area accessible from the banner or present at the bottom.
This category includes the following cookies, which pursue the respective purposes indicated:
2. Profiling Cookies, which require your consent
- First-party: installed directly by the Data Controller on its site.
- Third-party: installed on the Data Controller's site by a third party. The Data Controller has no control over the activity and purposes of the third party or the possibility that the third party may modify them over time. In this sense, the Data Controller acts as an intermediary. In this capacity, it refers to the third party's information notice, accessible via the link placed next to each cookie indicated in the appropriate area accessible from the banner or present at the bottom. Profiling cookies allow tracking and tracing, through automated tools, the user's behaviour during their internet navigation. They aim to create profiles related to the user and are used by the Data Controller or the third party to send the user personalised advertising content in line with their preferences and interests expressed during their internet navigation. Profiling cookies also include non-anonymised analytics cookies used by the third party when the Data Controller has not anonymised them (e.g., has not anonymised the IP) or when it allows the third party to cross-reference the information collected with other information already in its possession.
- Legal Basis. The use of Profiling cookies (including non-anonymised analytics) can only occur with your consent, which constitutes the legal basis for processing the data collected through such cookies, in accordance with Art. 6.a of the GDPR. Consent can be provided or revoked by you at any time by operating directly in the appropriate area accessible from the banner or present at the bottom.
- Necessity of providing data and consequences. The failure to provide data resulting from your lack of consent for such cookies has no consequences for you in terms of site navigation and use, but it means that you will not receive advertising messages about services and goods in line with your preferences and real interests expressed during your internet navigation.
