Extended cookie policy
What are cookies?
Cookies are pieces of information stored by the web browser when users visit a website with any suitable device (such as a PC, a tablet or a smartphone). As clarified by the Italian Privacy Authority in its FAQ available at www.garanteprivacy.it, cookies are “small text files” – consisting of letters and numbers – “that the websites visited by the user send to his or her terminal (usually the browser), where they are stored before being sent back to the same websites during the next visit by the same user”. Each cookie contains different data (for example, the name of the server from which it comes, a numeric identifier, etc.). Furthermore, it can remain in the system for the duration of a session (until the browser is closed), or for long periods, and may contain a unique identification code. It is not possible to use cookies to access information stored on the user’s device, even if cookies are downloaded on it.
Cookies cannot upload codes of any kind, carry viruses, or malware and are not harmful to the user’s terminal.
What cookies are for
Depending on their type, cookies are used for different purposes. In fact, some of them are strictly necessary for a website to function properly (technical cookies), whereas others optimise its performance in order to offer a better experience to the user. Furthermore, they can also allow individuals to capture statistics regarding the use of the website, like cookies analytics, or allow to display advertising, such as profiling cookies.
User consent
By connecting to any gazebo.it page for the first time, the user will see a banner pop-up with a brief version of the policy notice regarding the use of cookies (this banner is displayed until consent is given or denied, as explained below).
If the user gives consent, this is stored by the Data Controller, using a technical cookie, for a duration of 12 months.
The user is notified through a policy notice: both brief (banner) and full version. Furthermore, indicated below are the links to third parties’ privacy policies, also for the purpose of disabling them (if this can be achieved directly through the same).
If there are any technical problems related to the provision of consent, the user can contact us through the appropriate channels provided by this website so that we can offer assistance.
How to disable cookies
It is possible to disable cookies, both through the browser settings (see paragraph “How to configure your browser/terminal“), and a few procedures made available by some third-parties (see paragraph “Third-party cookies used“).
Types of cookies we use
To allow the use of our website and the provision of our services, we use both so-called persistent cookies (i.e., cookies that remain stored in memory until they are manually deleted by the user or that are deleted automatically after a long time) and so-called session cookies, which are not stored permanently on the visitor’s computer and disappear when the browser is closed.
We use cookies of different types – with specific functions – that we can classify as follows:
First-party cookies, i.e., sent by gazebo.it
WHAT DO THEY DO?
Session and browsing technical cookies
(User consent is not required to send this type of cookie)
These are essential for the proper functioning of our website and allow the user to browse and view its content. If they were disabled the website would malfunction. Generally cookies of this type are necessary, for example, to keep a browsing session open or to allow the user to access any personal areas. Also, they can temporarily memorize the text entered when filling in a form, when you return to a previous page during the same session.
Functional technical cookies
(User consent is not required to send this type of cookie)
These allow the user to make the most of the functions offered by the website and to browse more easily. The website works best if these cookies are enabled. However, you can still decide not to allow their activation on your device. For example, cookies of this type can remember which language the user prefers to view in our website.
Consent technical cookies
(User consent is not required to send this type of cookie)
This cookie keeps track of the consent given by the user to the use of cookies on this website, so as not to repeatedly show the short notice on cookies and the request for consent at every subsequent visit.
If the user wishes to disable technical cookies, he or she can refer to the instructions for the main browsers available at the end of this document.

Profiling/advertising cookies
(User consent is required to send this type of cookie)
These are used to present you with content, including advertising, that is tailored to your interests. They can also be used, for example, to limit the number of times advertising content is shown or to help us assess the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns or the advertising campaigns on our websites. They are not necessary, but allow us to offer you content that is closer to your interests.
