Cookie Policy

Introduction

This cookie policy refers exclusively to the website geomarketplace.it (“Website”) and must be understood as an integral part of the
Privacy Policy published on the Website, which is referred to for all the information required under Article 13 of Regulation (EU) 2016/679.

What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files that websites visited by the user send and store on their computer or mobile device, to be retransmitted to the same websites upon the user’s next visit.
Thanks to cookies, a website can remember the user’s actions and preferences (such as login data, chosen language, font size, display settings, etc.) so they don’t have to be entered again when the user returns to the site or navigates between its pages.
Cookies are therefore used to perform IT authentications, session monitoring, and storage of information regarding user activities on a website.
They may also contain a unique identification code that allows tracking of the user’s browsing within the website for statistical or advertising purposes.
While browsing a site, the user may also receive cookies on their computer or mobile device from different websites or web servers (so-called “third-party cookies”).
Some operations could not be performed without the use of cookies, which are sometimes technically necessary for the site to function properly.

There are various types of cookies, depending on their characteristics and functions, and they can remain on the user’s device for different periods of time:
so-called session cookies, which are automatically deleted when the browser is closed, and so-called persistent cookies, which remain on the user’s device until a set expiration date.

Under current Italian law, user consent is not always required for the use of cookies.
In particular, “technical cookies” do not require such consent — that is, cookies used solely for the purpose of transmitting a communication over an electronic communications network, or as strictly necessary to provide a service explicitly requested by the user.
In other words, these are essential cookies needed for the operation of the website or to carry out user-requested activities.

Among the technical cookies, which do not require user consent, the Italian Data Protection Authority (see the “Measure on the simplified arrangements to provide information and obtain consent regarding cookies” of May 8, 2014 — hereinafter the “Measure“) also includes:

  • “Analytics cookies,” when used directly by the website operator to collect aggregate information on the number of users and how they visit the website;
  • Browsing or session cookies (for authentication purposes);
  • Functionality cookies, which allow users to navigate according to selected criteria (e.g., language, selected products) in order to improve the service provided.

Conversely, “profiling cookies” — those aimed at creating user profiles and used to send advertising messages aligned with the user’s preferences expressed during web browsing — require the user’s prior consent.

Types of Cookies Used by the Website

The Website uses the following types of cookies and provides the possibility to opt out of them, except for third-party cookies, for which users should refer directly to the relevant selection and opt-out methods as provided via links:

  • Technical cookies – navigation or session cookies – strictly necessary for the functioning of the Website or to allow users to access the requested content and services.
  • Analytics cookies, which help the Website operator understand how users interact with the Website. These cookies do not collect any user identity information or personal data. All data is processed in an aggregated and anonymous form.
  • Functionality cookies, used to enable specific features of the Website and a set of selected criteria (e.g., language, selected products) to improve the quality of the service.

NOTE: If technical and/or functionality cookies are disabled, the Website may become inaccessible, or certain services or features may be unavailable or may not function properly.
Users may also be required to manually enter some information or preferences every time they visit the Website.

  • Third-party cookies, i.e., cookies from websites or web servers other than the Website Owner’s, used for purposes specific to those third parties, including analytics and profiling cookies.
    These third parties, listed below with hyperlinks to their privacy policies, act as independent data controllers for data collected via their cookies.
    Therefore, users should consult their privacy policies and any consent collection forms (for the selection and deselection of their respective cookies).

Specifically, the cookies sent directly by the Website Owner through the Website are listed below:
