(hereinafter referred to jointly as the “Owners“) provide you with the following information concerning the cookies installed on the domain www.liujo.com (hereinafter referred to as the “Site“).
What are cookies?
Cookies are small fragments of text, usually consisting of letters and/or numbers, which are sent by the Site and stored by the browser installed on your device for browsing. Cookies are then transmitted back to the Site on your next visit.
Cookies make it possible to store information about visits to the Site and are a very useful technology, as they help the Site to function more efficiently. Without cookies, the Site would have no way of “remembering” certain information, such as the contents of a shopping cart.
Cookies can be classified according to:
- duration: session or persistent cookies;
- origin: first-party or third-party cookies;
- purpose: strictly necessary cookies, performance analysis cookies and behavioural advertising cookies.
Cookies that expire at the end of a browser session (normally when the browser is closed or when the session expires) are called session cookies and are used, for instance, to keep the browsing session active. Cookies that are stored for a longer period of time (between sessions) are called persistent cookies and are useful, for example, to remember your preferences or to propose targeted advertising.
The definition of first or third party refers to the website or domain that installs the cookie. First-party cookies are installed directly by the Site, whereas third-party cookies are installed by a different domain, for instance, if the Site incorporates elements from other services, such as advertising platforms.
It should be noted that the purposes usually fulfilled by a cookie can also be achieved through other assimilated technologies, including the use of certain functionalities that allow devices to be identified so that visits to the Site can be analysed. This policy applies to any technology that stores or accesses information on your device. This could include, for instance, HTML5 local storage, Local Shared Objects (also called flash cookies) and fingerprinting techniques. From now on, when reference is made to cookies, this definition will also include other assimilated technologies.
What are the purposes of the cookies used by this site?
Strictly necessary cookies enable the Site to function properly and allow you to take advantage of its contents and services easily: for example, you will be able to browse the Site by keeping the contents of your shopping cart, or you will not have to perform any action on the banner containing the short information notice each time you access the Site, because your choice of consent will be recorded. Strictly necessary cookies cannot be disabled and your prior consent is not required for their installation. These cookies are stored in your browser for the time necessary to ensure the proper functioning of the Site.
Performance analytics cookies are created to measure certain information relating to the use of and navigation on the Site in order to improve its performance. In particular, these cookies are useful to statistically analyse accesses or visits to the Site in order to optimise its structure, navigation logic and content. These cookies only collect aggregated and therefore anonymous information, so your consent is not required.
Functionality cookies allow the Site to provide certain advanced functionalities and customisation. These cookies are not necessary for the functioning of the Site, so your consent is required for their installation.
Targeting cookies are used to track your navigation on the Site in order to analyse your behaviour for marketing purposes and to create a profile of your tastes, habits and choices. In this way, the Data Controllers can send you targeted advertising messages in relation to your interests and in line with the preferences you have expressed when browsing. These cookies are not necessary for the functioning of the Site, so your consent is required for their installation.
A complete list of all information relating to the cookies installed is provided in the “Cookie settings” section, which can be found on the banner that appears when you first access any page of the Site, and which can be consulted at the following link:
How do you manage cookie preferences?
When you first access any page of the Site, you will see a banner containing a short information notice and a link to open the COOKIE CONSENT CENTRE through which you can easily choose which cookies to install. You can access the cookie consent centre at any time and easily via a specific link in the footer of the Site.
In addition to the above, you can also change your cookie settings via your browser, either by deleting all or some cookies or by restricting cookies to certain sites. The following are instructions for changing the cookie settings for the most common browsers used:
- Google Chrome
- Mozilla Firefox
- Microsoft Edge
- Safari
Disabling cookies or deleting them may affect the ability to optimally use certain areas of the Site or prevent certain functionalities, as well as affect the functioning of third-party services.
Communication and dissemination of data
The data collected using cookies may be processed by employees and collaborators of the company functions assigned to pursuing the aforementioned purposes, who have been expressly authorised to process them and who have received appropriate operating instructions. This data may also be processed by trusted companies that perform technical and organisational tasks on behalf of LIU JO and DB. These companies have the role of data controller. In particular, the data may be processed by external parties acting as autonomous data controllers such as, for example, authorities and supervisory and control bodies.
Your rights
Contacting one of the Data Controllers by sending an email to privacyconsumer@liujo.it or, alternatively, to the addresses indicated at the end of this paragraph, you may request access to the data concerning you, their deletion, the restriction of processing in the cases provided for by Article 18 of the GDPR, as well as opposition to processing in the cases of legitimate interest of both Data Controllers.
If the processing is based on consent or on contract and is carried out by automated means, you have the right to receive the data in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format and, if technically possible, to transmit them to another data controller without impediment.
You also have the right to withdraw consent for unnecessary cookies without affecting the operation and functionality of the Site. Finally, you have the right to submit a complaint to the Italian Data Protection Authority.
LIU JO and DB have each appointed a Data Protection Officer (“DPO“):
- LIU JO’s DPO can be contacted at Dpo@liujo.it;
- DB’s DPO can be contacted at Dpo@digitalboite.com.
