Information on cookies and similar technologies pursuant to Article 13 of Regulation (EU) 2016/679

Dear User,

V.O.LA s.n.c. (“V.O.LA”), as Data Controller, pursuant to Article 13 of Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (“GDPR”) and Legislative Decree 196/2003 as amended by Legislative Decree 101/18, provides this specific and detailed notice to describe the characteristics and purposes of the cookies installed on its website and to allow users to select/deselect individual cookies.

Processing carried out through cookies is performed by automated means; the storage period of the data depends on the nature of each cookie.

This information relates exclusively to the website available at:

www.lamonarca.it

For any clarification, information, or to exercise the rights listed in this notice, please contact: vinicola@lamonarca.it

This notice may be updated following regulatory changes or modifications to the website; we therefore invite you to visit this section periodically to stay informed.

By browsing the above-mentioned site, data relating to identified or identifiable natural persons may be processed.

As stated in the Privacy Policy, which is hereby fully recalled, the Data Controller is V.O.LA s.n.c., VAT no. 01095670723, with registered office in Via Ravanas 1, 70037 Ruvo di Puglia (BA), Italy.

1. GENERAL INFORMATION ON COOKIES

Pursuant to the GDPR and to the decisions of the Italian Data Protection Authority (Garante) of 8 May 2014 and the Guidelines of 10 June 2021 on simplified procedures for cookie information and consent, V.O.LA provides this Cookie Policy.

1.1 What are cookies?

Cookies are small strings of text that the websites visited by the user send to the user’s device (usually to the browser, such as Google Chrome, Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, etc.), where they are stored and then sent back to the same websites during subsequent visits.

1.2 Why are cookies useful?

Through cookies, the website can recognise the user’s device and thus improve the browsing experience. Among other purposes, cookies enable users to navigate efficiently between pages, remember favourites, store language preferences, and so on. Cookies also help ensure that advertising content displayed online is more relevant to the user’s specific interests.

1.3 Types of cookies

Cookies can be classified as follows:

By duration

Session cookies: deleted automatically when the browser is closed.

Persistent cookies: remain stored until their set expiry date or deletion by the user.

By origin

First-party cookies: sent directly by the website being visited.

Third-party cookies: sent by a different domain than the one being visited.

By purpose

Technical cookies

Profiling cookies

1.4 Other technologies similar to cookies

The purposes usually fulfilled by cookies can also be achieved through other similar technologies which allow devices to be identified and visits to a website to be analysed. This notice therefore applies to any technology that stores or accesses information on the user’s device.

Examples include HTML5 local storage, Local Shared Objects (so-called “flash cookies”) and device fingerprinting techniques. Device fingerprinting consists of combining a series of information to uniquely identify a specific device. Such information can include:

device configuration data

data derived from the use of specific network protocols

JavaScript data

HTTP header information

system clock information

installed fonts

browser plug-ins

In this Cookie Policy, the term “cookies” also includes these similar technologies.

2. TECHNICAL COOKIES

Technical cookies are used to improve the user’s browsing experience. Without them, some operations would be very complex or impossible to perform. These cookies—whether first- or third-party, session or persistent—do not require the user’s prior consent.

“Strictly necessary” technical cookies
 These allow users to navigate the site and use its essential features, such as logging in or remembering previous actions. If these cookies are blocked, the user’s browsing experience may be compromised.

“Functionality” cookies
 These store user preferences (such as language, name, location) and improve the browsing experience. If blocked, navigation is still possible but these convenient features will not be available.

“Analytical” technical cookies
 These collect information on how users interact with the site: number of pages visited, time spent on the site, most visited pages, and any errors encountered. They allow the site owner to obtain statistical data and improve the services offered.

Analytical cookies are considered technical—and not profiling—only when tools are adopted to reduce their ability to identify users, for example by masking significant portions of the IP address.

For technical cookies, prior consent is not required; therefore, if the site uses only technical cookies, the Controller is not required to collect consent through a cookie banner. However, this extended notice (which you are reading now) remains mandatory.

3. PROFILING COOKIES

Profiling cookies are activated only after the user has given consent. Consent is given by clicking “OK” (or “continue”, etc.) on the banner on the homepage or another page, or by an active action by the user (e.g. selecting an element beneath the banner).

Profiling cookies are used to improve the services offered by the Controller and to select and send advertising based on the preferences and tastes shown by the user during navigation.

Disabling profiling cookies does not reduce the number of ads displayed, but those ads will be generic instead of targeted to the user’s interests. Profiling cookies include, for example, third-party analytical/statistical cookies without IP masking and data aggregation, advertising cookies, tracking cookies, and conversion cookies.

4. HOW TO MANAGE COOKIE PREFERENCES

When the user first accesses any page of the Site, a banner is displayed containing:

a brief information notice

a button to accept all cookies

a button to reject the installation of cookies, except for technical ones

a “more options” button which opens a dashboard where the user can select the types of cookies to be installed

In any case, in addition to giving or withholding consent through the banner, users can set their cookie preferences through their browser settings.

By default, almost all web browsers accept cookies automatically. Users can change this configuration by adjusting their browser settings to delete/remove all or some cookies, block their transmission, or restrict it to certain sites.

Disabling, blocking, or deleting cookies may affect optimal use of the site or prevent certain features from working, and may impact the functioning of third-party services.

4.1 Browser settings

Cookie management depends on the browser used. Below are links to guides for the main desktop browsers:

For browsers not listed above, please refer to the relevant help section.

If the user uses multiple browsers, the procedure to delete cookies must be performed on each one. If the user uses different devices (e.g. smartphone, tablet), they must follow the device’s instructions manual for cookie deletion.

Please note: blocking cookies may compromise or prevent the proper functioning of the website, since some cookies are strictly necessary for navigation.

Facebook

Facebook pixels are managed by Facebook Inc., 1601 South California Avenue, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA and Facebook Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland.

Facebook pixels are small software fragments—almost invisible points the size of a pixel on our website—that create a link between your visit to our site and Facebook. When the pixel loads, Facebook installs a “fr” cookie on your device. This helps Facebook deliver more personalised advertising and measure and improve ads. The cookie has a lifespan of 90 days.

More information on Facebook cookies is available at:

When the “fr” cookie is installed, Facebook can track your browsing behaviour across other websites that have implemented a Facebook pixel or Facebook social plug-in.

We do not know the exact content of the data transmitted nor how Facebook uses this data.
