Extended Cookie Policy
This Cookie Policy is intended to disclose the procedures followed for the collection, via cookies, of information provided by users when visiting this website at www.malvarosa.it.

What are cookies?
Cookies are text files sent by the website that store information on your hard drive or browser, where they are saved to be retransmitted to the site upon the same user’s next visit.
Types of Cookies
The Italian Data Protection Authority (Garante) Provision No. 229 of 8 May 2014, published in the Official Gazette No. 126 of 3 June 2014, categorized cookies into two macro-categories: “technical” cookies and “profiling” cookies.
Technical Cookies
Technical cookies are those used for the sole purpose of “carrying out the transmission of a communication over an electronic communications network, or to the extent strictly necessary for the provider of an information society service explicitly requested by the subscriber or user to provide such service” (cf. Art. 122, paragraph 1, of the Italian Privacy Code).
They are not used for further purposes and are normally installed directly by the owner or operator of the website. They can be divided into:
- Browsing or session cookies, which ensure normal navigation and use of the website (allowing, for example, a purchase or authentication to access reserved areas); they are essential for the proper functioning of the site;
- Analytics cookies, assimilated to technical cookies where used directly by the site operator to collect information, in aggregate form, on the number of users and how they visit the site, in order to improve site performance;
- Functionality cookies, which allow the user to browse based on a series of selected criteria (e.g., language, products selected for purchase) to improve the service provided. Prior user consent is not required for the installation of such cookies.
Please note that blocking technical cookies may compromise the functionality of this website.
Profiling Cookies
Profiling cookies are designed to create user profiles and are used to send advertising messages in line with the preferences expressed by the user while surfing the web. Due to the potential invasiveness of such devices in the private sphere of users, European and Italian legislation provides that the user must be adequately informed about their use and thus express their valid consent.
These are referred to in Art. 122 of the Code, which provides that “the storage of information in the terminal equipment of a contractor or a user or access to information already stored shall only be permitted on condition that the contractor or user has given his or her consent after being informed by the simplified procedures referred to in Article 13, paragraph 3” (Art. 122, paragraph 1, of the Code).
In the same Provision, the Garante further categorized cookies according to the entity acting as the Data Controller of the personal data collected by the cookie, distinguishing between first-party cookies and third-party cookies.
First-party Cookies
These are cookies managed by the site owner. For these cookies, the obligation to provide information lies with the site owner. The owner is also obliged to indicate how to potentially block the cookie.
Third-party Cookies
These are cookies managed by a third party other than the site owner. For these cookies, the obligation to provide information and indicate how to block the cookie lies with the third party, while the site owner is obliged to include a link to the third party’s website where such elements are available.
For both types of cookies (first-party or third-party), consent—required if the cookie is a profiling cookie—is collected via a specific banner on the website’s homepage.
