Cookie Policy

11 Gen

This Cookie Policy refers exclusively to the website anna-milan.com(“Website”) and must be understood as an inherent part of the Privacy Policy of the same.

1. Definitions, characteristics and application of the legislation

Cookies are small text files that the websites visited by the user send and record on his/her personal computer or mobile device, these cookies are then re-transmitted to the same websites upon the user’s subsequent visit. Precisely because of cookies, a website remembers the user’s actions and preferences (such as login data, chosen language, font size, other display settings, etc.) in such a way that they do not have to be newly indicated when the user returns to visit the above-mentioned website or browse from one page to another. Therefore, cookies are used to perform computer authentications, to monitor sessions and store information concerning the activities of the users who access a website. Cookies may also contain a unique identification code that enables a user’s browsing within the website to be tracked for statistical or advertising purposes. While browsing a website, the user may also receive cookies from websites or web servers other than the one he/she is visiting (so-called “third-party” cookies) on his/her computer or mobile device. Some operations may not be able to be performed without the use of cookies, which in some cases are, therefore, technically necessary for the functioning of the above-mentioned website.

There are various types of cookies, according to their characteristics and functions, and these can remain on the user’s computer or mobile device for different periods of time: so-called session cookies, which are automatically deleted when the browser is closed; so-called persistent cookies, which remain on the user’s devices until a predetermined deadline.
According to the legislation in force in Italy, the user’s express consent is not always required for the use of cookies. In particular, “technical cookies”, namely cookies used for the sole purpose of transmitting a communication over an electronic communications network, or used to the extent strictly necessary to provide a service explicitly requested by the user, do not require such consent. In other words, these are cookies that are indispensable for the operation of the website or that are necessary to perform activities requested by the user.
Among the technical cookies which do not require express consent for their use, the Italian Data Protection Authority (see Identification Provision of simplified procedures for the information and the acquisition of consent for the use of cookies dated May 8th, 2014, hereinafter referred to as “Provision”) also include:

  • “cookie analytics”, where used directly by the webmaster to collect information, in aggregate form, on the number of users and how they visit the website;
  • browsing or session cookies, which ensure normal browsing and accessibility of the website (allowing, for example, to make a purchase or login to access restricted areas);
  • functional cookies, that allow the user to browse according to a set of selected criteria (for example, the language, the products selected for purchase) in order to improve the service provided to the same.

Conversely, for “profiling cookies”, that is, those designed to create user profiles and used to send advertising messages in line with the preferences expressed by the same user in the context of web-browsing, the user’s prior consent is required.

2. Types of cookies used on this Website

The Website uses the following types of cookies and offers the possibility to de-select the same, with the exception of third-party cookies which require the user to refer directly to the relative selection and de-selection methods of the respective cookies, indicated via the links:

• (Browsing or session) technical cookies are strictly necessary for the operation of the Website, or to allow the user to take advantage of the contents and services requested;
• Cookie analytics, which allow the Webmaster to understand how users use the website. These cookies do not collect any information regarding the user’s identity or any personal data. Such information is treated in an aggregate and anonymous manner;
• Functionality cookies used to activate specific functions of the Website and a series of selected criteria (for example, the language, the products selected for purchase) in order to improve the service provided;
• Profiling cookies are designed to create profiles relative to the user and are used in order to send advertising messages in line with the preferences expressed by the user when web-browsing.

ATTENTION: by disabling technical and/or functionality cookies, the Website may not be accessible or certain services and specific functions of the Website may be unavailable or may not work properly and the user may be forced to change or manually enter certain information or preferences every time they visit the Website.
AnnaMilan uses third-party cookies, namely cookies of websites or web servers other than those of the Data Controller, used for the purposes of these third parties, including profiling and analytical cookies. Please note that these third parties, listed below with the respective hypertext links to the privacy policies, act as independent data controllers of data collected through the cookies they send. Therefore, the user must refer to their policies regarding the processing of personal data, disclosures and any methods of obtaining consent (selection and de-selection of the respective cookies).
Links to the respective disclosures on the use of cookies are listed below which grant access to the consent forms provided (as required by the Provision):

3. How to view and modify cookies through the user’s web navigation interface (so-called browser)

The user can select which cookies to authorise through the specific procedure set out in the Cookie settings section, as well as authorise, block or delete (in whole or in part) cookies through the specific functions of their browser. However, in the event that all or some of the cookies are disabled, the Website may become inaccessible, or certain services or specific functions of the Website may no longer be available or not function correctly and/or the user may be forced to change or manually enter certain information or preferences each time he/she visits the Website.
To disable these cookies or to get more information on how to set preferences on the use of cookies via the web browser, users may consult the relevant instructions:

4. Cookie Settings

Subsequently, the user may make a choice and specifically indicate which cookies to authorise.
Users are informed that not authorising the use of technical cookies may make it impossible to use the Website, view its contents and take advantage of the related services. Inhibiting functionality cookies could mean that some services or certain functions of the Website are not available or do not function correctly and the user may be forced to change or manually enter some information or preferences each time they visit the Website.

The lack of authorisation with respect to other cookies indicated by third parties will not affect the operation of the Website; however, since such types of cookies are sent exclusively by third parties and the Webmaster cannot control the sending of such cookies to the user’s terminal, the relative objection can only be exercised by accessing the consent forms prepared by the above-mentioned third parties, if any, or through the user’s browser settings. Links to the privacy policies and eventual consent forms for the receipt of cookies prepared by the third parties that send cookies through the Website are provided in the section Types of cookies used on the Website.

With regard to cookies directly sent by the Webmaster, as well as via the procedure made available on this page, the user can block or delete cookies (in whole or in part) through the specific functions of his/her navigation browser (in this regard, see the above).
Choices made by the user in relation to cookies on the Website will, in turn, be recorded in a special technical cookie, possessing the characteristics displayed in the table of cookies. However, said cookie may, in some circumstances, not function correctly: in such cases, we recommend that the user delete any unwanted cookies and inhibit their use through the functionality of his/her web browser.
The user’s preferences in relation to cookies will be reset if he/she uses different devices, or browsers to access the Website.

TECHNICAL COOKIES

Do not require prior consent from the user for their use.
Technical cookies are strictly necessary for the operation of the website, or to allow the user to take advantage of the contents and services requested.
