This section will provide users with additional information useful to the understanding of the criteria for the classification of cookies implemented by Kiwitron.
Origin
First-party cookies directly originate from the Website. Kiwitron is the controller of the personal data that may be associated with such cookies, that is to say, Kiwitron is the subject determining the purposes of the processing of personal data collected through the use of said cookies.
Third-party cookies are, instead, those sent by websites different to those directly linked to Kiwitron. Such cookies serve purposes that are exclusive to said sites and independent from the ones pursued by Kiwitron; as a consequence, third parties are held as responsible of the processing of personal data carried out by them as the relevant data controllers. It will therefore be necessary to refer to the policies specifically set out by third parties in order to acknowledge the information about personal data processing carried out by such third parties.
In the “DETAILS” section of the Banner, third-party cookies are clearly shown as such and you may, as well, find the link to the personal data processing policies made available by third parties. For convenience purposes, the same links can be retrieved at the end of this document, under the “LIST OF THIRD PARTIES” section.
Duration
The amount of time during which the cookies will be stored on the Website is indicated, for each cookie, in the “DETAILS” section of the Banner.
The duration of session cookies is limited to a single session on the browser (meaning the software used to access the Website through your device, including, but not limited to Microsoft Edge, Google Chrome, Safari), meaning such cookies are automatically deactivated by the time the browser is closed.
By contrast, persistent cookies have a predefined expiry date, until the reach of whom they are saved in the device and held as active, still collecting information during different browsing sessions.
Function
Technical cookies, as the ones being strictly necessary to the correct functioning of a website, are thereby defined as “necessary” in the “DETAILS” section of the Banner.
______
The use of this class of cookies does not require your prior consent: of course, you may decide to disable them by changing your browser settings. However, in this case, you may face some issues viewing the Website.
Cookies other than technical ones, still necessary to the correct functioning of a website, can serve multiple purposes.
Some cookies allow websites to memorize preferences and settings as chosen by the user, maximizing browsing experience within the Website (functionality cookies).
Other enable the gathering of statistics on the use of the website by memorizing the choices made upon a website and data pertaining to browsing in order to carry out statistics – in an anonymised and aggregated form – that may then be used to enhance the performance of the Website, with the ultimate purpose of providing the user with a better browsing experience (analytics cookies).
Kiwitron uses functionality cookies and analytics cookies only upon your declaration of consent, that you may give by selecting the “PREFERENCE” and “STATISTICS” options in the Banner or in its “DETAILS” section.
Targeting cookies are, instead, used to link to specific users actions and behavioral patterns that are recurring within the browsing of the website that are then gathered to create separate profiles, so that the data controller (either Kiwitron, as first party, or other third parties setting specific cookies) can customize its service more than what it is strictly necessary to the functioning of the service, as well as sending personalized advertising notices, meaning, compliant with the preferences shown by users while browsing the Website.
In particular, the Website makes use of advertising targeting cookies, allowing the Website to create a customized profile aimed at providing the user with advertising content coherent to the preferences shown during the browsing of the Website.
Retargeting cookies are meant to send you promotional content relating to the products towards which you have shown interest.
Lastly, social cookies – as the ones pertaining to social networks plug-ins incorporated within the site (specifically, Facebook, LinkedIn and YouTube) – fall within the control of third parties and allow you to view advertisements tailored to your preferences.
Kiwitron also uses targeting cookies only upon your declaration of consent, that you may give by selecting the “PREFERENCE” and “STATISTICS” options in the Banner or under its “DETAILS” section.
