SICCE Cookie Policy

November 2021

Like most websites, SICCE sites use cookies. “Cookies” are small text files that are sent and saved on users' devices by websites through the browser. They have been used since the mid-1990s and are one of the most popular technologies on the Internet. Many essential website functions rely on cookies. For example, it is not possible to make online purchases without cookies, because they are used to remember the items placed in the cart.

Some cookies used by SICCE collect the user's personal data. All personal data collected will be used in accordance with our privacy policy. Cookies exist to allow our websites to function and to help us understand what information is most useful to visitors to our sites.

Cookies’ principles

This policy describes how SICCE uses cookies on all its websites around the world. In this cookie policy, when we refer to "SICCE", "us", "we" or "our / a / the / and", we mean the SICCE group company (s) responsible for providing that particular website. The information on which companies of the SICCE group is / are responsible for the websites in your country, and the personal data collected by the cookies used on those sites (www.sicce.com; us.sicce.com; www.sicce.it; www.sicce.com.au).

Acceptance 

By continuing to use our websites you agree that cookies will be stored on your device, as detailed in this cookie policy.

How we use the cookies

Many cookies on our websites perform essential functions and allow users to move around the sites and use their features; for example, when you log into your SICCE account, cookies remember the information recorded there. In this policy these cookies are referred to as "strictly necessary cookies".

Other cookies are not essential but they help us understand how users use our sites, allowing us to improve our online activities. For this purpose we use Web Analytics tools. Cookies are used to detect the loading times of our sites, how they are used and what information is displayed most. This allows us to improve how our sites work, for example by ensuring that users find what they are looking for easily. Cookies also help identify the parts of the sites that are not working optimally, allowing us to intervene and improve them. In this policy these cookies are referred to as "performance cookies".

Other cookies allow our websites to recognize users who have already visited them. This allows us to remember the choices you make (for example your name, language or the geographical area in which you are located) and offer you more efficient and personalized functions. In this policy these cookies are referred to as "functionality cookies".

Another type of cookie informs us about the effectiveness of our online advertising and the optimal placement of our online advertisements. These cookies allow us to know if one of our advertisements on another website such as Google or Yahoo has brought visitors to the SICCE site.

Cookies of this type also help us to reach the people most interested in SICCE products. Thus, once you visit a SICCE site, you may see our advertising on other sites. This practice is known as re-marketing or behavioral advertising and serves to improve the relevance of our advertising to your interests. In this policy these cookies are referred to as "advertising cookies".

The information collected by the cookies is also linked to the SICCE customer data we have. For example, we combine the information collected by cookies with personal data communicated by users or with those collected by SICCE products for profiling and statistical analysis of the popularity of products, user behavior in the use of our sites and apps. or the ways in which our products are used.

Cookies are divided into two general categories: first-party cookies (generated by SICCE) and third-party cookies (generated by others).

Direct cookies

These cookies are generated by SICCE. In most cases they enable essential features of our site. They also include cookies for Web Analytics, which we use to understand how users use our sites, in order to improve them.Third party cookies

Third-party cookies are not generated by SICCE, but by some selected subjects with whom we collaborate. Some of them enable useful services, such as online questionnaires or real-time chat (which allows you to ask questions to SICCE experts). Others could be generated by advertising networks with which we collaborate to keep track of users' browsing activities on the network, in order to place our online advertisements in the most suitable spaces. In the following section on "Cookie Management", we explain how to change your settings so that third parties (including advertisers) know that you do not want to keep track of your web browsing activities.

Social media cookies

Some pages of our websites allow you to share our content on social media such as LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and Tik Toc. Sometimes we may post videos from sites like YouTube. These sites generate their own cookies, which we do not control. Social media sites may have their own cookie policies, which, if available, are usually posted on the sites themselves. We recommend that you carefully review these cookie policies to decide whether to accept them or not.

The cookies that fall into the three categories described above can be further divided into session cookies or persistent cookies.

Session cookies

Session cookies are deleted when the browser is closed (or after a certain period of user inactivity). We use them on our e-commerce sites to allow you to continue browsing without losing the items you have placed in your cart.

Permanent cookies 

Questi cookie persistono anche dopo la chiusura del browser. Servono a “ricordare” l’utente, che non dovrà quindi reimmettere dati di accesso e password ogni volta che torna a visitare il sito.

 

MANAGEMENT OF COOKIES
