2. What Cookies Are

Cookies are small text files stored on a user’s device when visiting a website. They can be used to ensure the proper functioning of the website, remember user preferences, improve performance, analyze traffic, enhance security, and support advertising and profiling activities.

Similar technologies may also be used, including pixels, tags, scripts, SDKs, local storage objects, web beacons and similar tracking tools. For simplicity, all such technologies are referred to in this policy as “cookies”, unless a distinction is specifically required.

3. Why We Use Cookies

We may use cookies and similar technologies for the following purposes:

• to ensure the technical operation and security of the website;
• to remember user preferences and settings;
• to understand how visitors use the website and improve content, usability and performance;
• to measure the effectiveness of communications and advertising campaigns;
• to personalize content and advertising where permitted;
• to enable integrations with third-party services, such as maps, videos, social media features, anti-spam tools and analytics systems;
• to build user segments, perform remarketing, and support profiling activities where appropriate consent has been obtained.

4. Legal Basis for the Use of Cookies

Strictly necessary cookies may be used on the basis of our legitimate interest in providing a secure and functional website, or because they are technically required to provide a service explicitly requested by the user.

All non-essential cookies, including analytics cookies where required by law, functionality cookies not strictly necessary, advertising cookies, remarketing technologies, social media pixels and profiling technologies, are used only on the basis of the user’s prior consent, which may be granted, refused or withdrawn through the cookie banner or preference management tool, where implemented. EU guidance on consent makes clear that valid consent must be freely given, specific, informed and unambiguous. :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}

5. Categories of Cookies We May Use

6. How Long Cookies May Remain on Your Device

Cookies may be classified by duration as follows:

• Session cookies – temporary cookies that are deleted when the browser is closed.
• Persistent cookies – cookies that remain on the device for a defined period or until manually deleted.

The exact duration of each cookie depends on its function and on the provider that sets it. Where a cookie management platform is in use, users should refer to that tool for the most updated information on duration, provider and purpose.

7. First-Party and Third-Party Cookies

Cookies may be:

• First-party cookies, set directly by our website domain; or
• Third-party cookies, set by external providers whose services are integrated into the website or into our digital marketing and analytics systems.

Third-party providers may independently process data collected through their own cookies according to their own privacy and cookie policies. This means that some third parties may act as independent controllers for the data they collect through their technologies.

8. Google Services and Related Cookies

Where implemented, our website may use services provided by Google and related entities. These services may use cookies and similar technologies to collect information about devices, browsing behavior, traffic sources, interactions and conversions.

Depending on the actual configuration of the website, these services may include:

• Google Analytics;
• Google Ads and conversion tracking;
• Google remarketing or audience features;
• Google Tag Manager;
• Google Maps;
• YouTube embedded videos;
• Google reCAPTCHA;
• other Google tools or integrations used for site functionality, analytics, security or advertising.

These tools may process online identifiers, IP address, browser information, device information, interaction events, page visits, campaign data, conversion data and approximate location derived from technical data. Where advertising and remarketing functions are activated, cookies may also support audience segmentation and profiling for personalized advertising and campaign optimization. :contentReference[oaicite:3]{index=3}

9. Social Media Cookies, Pixels and Similar Technologies

Where used, our website may include cookies, pixels, tags or SDKs provided by social media and digital advertising platforms. These may include, for example:

• Meta technologies for Facebook and Instagram;
• LinkedIn insights and conversion tools;
• YouTube technologies;
• X integrations;
• TikTok pixels or similar ad technologies;
• other social plugins, widgets, login integrations or embedded third-party content.

These technologies may collect or receive information about visits, interactions, conversions, page views, events, browser characteristics, device identifiers and cookie IDs. Where enabled for advertising or analytics, they may be used to measure the performance of ads, create audience segments, enable remarketing and contribute to profiling activities.

10. Profiling Through Cookies

Some cookies and similar technologies may be used to analyze user behavior, infer interests, categorize users into audience groups, personalize advertising and optimize communications. This may involve combining browsing behavior, campaign interactions, page visits and technical identifiers in order to create aggregated or segmented profiles.

Profiling cookies are not activated unless the user has provided valid consent where required by law. Refusal to consent to profiling cookies does not prevent access to the website’s core functions, except where a specific service inherently depends on the relevant technology.

11. Cookie Consent Management

When required by applicable law, users are presented with a cookie banner or consent management interface that allows them to:

• accept all cookies;
• reject all non-essential cookies;
• select individual cookie categories;
• withdraw previously given consent at a later time.

Consent can be updated at any time through the cookie settings tool, where available, or by changing browser settings and deleting cookies already stored on the device. According to EU guidance, consent mechanisms should not rely on inactivity, pre-ticked boxes or similar invalid forms of consent. :contentReference[oaicite:4]{index=4}

12. How to Manage or Disable Cookies Through Your Browser

Most web browsers allow users to manage cookie preferences through browser settings. Depending on the browser used, users may be able to:

• view stored cookies;
• delete existing cookies;
• block all cookies;
• block only third-party cookies;
• clear cookies when the browser is closed;
• set exceptions for selected websites.

Please note that disabling strictly necessary cookies may affect the functionality, security or availability of parts of the website. Disabling analytics, marketing or profiling cookies may reduce personalization and measurement capabilities without affecting the essential operation of the website.

13. Cookie List and Specific Tools Used

The exact list of cookies, providers, retention periods and technical identifiers may vary depending on the services actually enabled on the website, the user’s location, the consent choices made, and future technical updates.

Where a consent management platform is in place, the most up-to-date cookie list should be made available through the relevant cookie settings panel or banner. That list may include, for each cookie where technically available:

• cookie name;
• provider/domain;
• category;
• purpose;
• duration;
• whether it is first-party or third-party.

Illustrative examples of cookies or technologies that may appear on the website, if actually used, include cookies related to session security, consent storage, Google Analytics, Google Ads, YouTube, Google Maps, reCAPTCHA, Meta Pixel, LinkedIn Insight Tag, and similar tools. This section must be aligned with the real configuration of the website before publication.

14. International Transfers of Data Collected Through Cookies

Some third-party providers whose technologies are used through cookies may process data outside the European Economic Area. Where this occurs, appropriate safeguards should be implemented in accordance with applicable data protection law, such as adequacy decisions, standard contractual clauses or other valid transfer mechanisms.

15. Data Subject Rights

To the extent that personal data collected through cookies or similar technologies qualifies as personal data under applicable law, users may have the right to:

• request access to their personal data;
• request rectification of inaccurate data;
• request erasure of data, where applicable;
• request restriction of processing;
• object to processing based on legitimate interest;
• withdraw consent at any time where processing is based on consent;
• request data portability where applicable;
• lodge a complaint with a competent supervisory authority.

Requests concerning the processing of personal data can be sent to: info@bortolingroup.com.
