This information on cookies is an integral part of the privacy policy statement, available via the link at the bottom of each page of our website.
WHAT ARE COOKIES?
From a general point of view, cookies are small text strings that the websites visited by the user send to his/her terminal (usually to the browser), where they are stored before being re-transmitted to the same websites when the user next visits the same websites.
During browsing on a specific website, the user can receive on his terminal both the cookies of the website visited and cookies that are sent from different websites or web servers (i.e. “third-party” cookies), which may include certain elements (e.g. images, maps, sounds, specific links to pages of other domains, etc.) that are shown on the website that the same user is visiting.
Cookies can generally be used for different purposes, such as, the execution of computer authentication, monitoring sessions, storing information on specific configurations concerning the users who access the server, profiling, etc.
FIRST PARTY COOKIES
First-party cookies are cookies that are installed on the user’s terminal and managed directly by BIP through this website.
BIP may use cookies for several reasons. In some parts of our website, cookies are essential and without them the user would not be able to use our services. BIP is always looking for ways to improve its website and to make it easier to learn about the related services. To do this, it is important to understand how we use our services and the website. Cookies also help us to provide the user with a better and richer experience; for example, by suggesting information that may be of greater interest to the user.
Browser or session cookies
“Browser” or “session” cookies are fundamental to allowing the user to move around our website, to perform the activities strictly necessary for the functioning of the website itself and, therefore, to guarantee normal browsing and use. These cookies are not stored permanently on the user’s computer and, consequently, disappear when the browser is closed.
The use of these cookies and the related processing do not require the prior consent of the user, in accordance with the regulations in force. However, the user may choose to refuse to give his/her consent for the installation of these cookies through the browser settings, aware of the fact that such a choice could negatively affect their experience on our website.
Functionality cookies
“Functionality” cookies – which, pursuant to the Cookie Policy, fall within the category of so-called technical cookies – allow our website to remember certain user choices (e.g. communication of his/her geographical position), in order to provide the user with a more personalized and optimized browsing session (e.g. the search for and identification of the centre closest to the geographical position communicated by the user).
Please note that these cookies are not used by BIP for the purpose of user profiling, but only allow the customization of the service provided by BIP. The information collected through these cookies is anonymous.
Functional cookies are not essential for the operation of our website, but improve the quality and the user’s browsing experience. Consequently, if you do not accept these cookies, the performance and functionality of www.shopalfaparfusa.com may be negatively affected and access to certain contents of the website may be limited.
The use of these cookies and the related processing do not require the prior consent of the user, in accordance with the regulations in force. However, the user can choose to refuse to give his/her consent for the installation of these cookies through the browser settings.
THIRD PARTY COOKIES
When a user browses our website, some cookies may be stored that are not controlled and managed by BIP. This happens, for example, if the user visits a page that includes the contents of a third-party website. As a result, the user will receive cookies from these third-party services.
The table below shows the third party cookies found on www.shopalfaparfusa.com. These cookies fall under the direct and exclusive responsibility of the third party that installs them on the user’s terminal and are divided into the following macro-categories:
Analytical: these cookies are used to collect and analyze statistical information on the number of users and visits to the website;
Advertising: this category includes cookies used to provide advertising services within a given website;
Widgets: some widgets made available by social networks (such as Facebook, Twitter and Google+ buttons) can use their own cookies to facilitate interaction with the reference social network, allowing the user to share the contents of a specific page of our website. Disabling these third-party cookies does not compromise the use of the website, except with reference to the possibility of sharing content quickly.
Certain third-party cookies may also be used for the purpose of user profiling and to collect, therefore, information on the preferences shown by the user during his/her Internet browsing. For more details about third-party cookies also used for profiling purposes, see the table below.
If the user does not wish to receive third-party cookies on his/her terminal, he/she can access the information and consent forms of these third parties and refuse them, via the links below.
