Cookie policy

Information regarding the use of cookies on the website www.eurotech.com

Pursuant to Article. 13 of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the following information explains both what cookies are and the various types of cookies on the website www.eurotech.com (hereinafter, the “site”). Cookies are small text files that the sites visited by the user send and record on his computer or mobile device, and which are then re-transmitted to the same sites at the next visit. Thanks to cookies, the site remembers the actions and preferences of the user (for example, a login, your preferred language, the font size, or other display settings, etc.) so that they do not need to be indicated again when you re-visit that site and browse from page to page. Cookies are therefore used to perform authentication, monitoring sessions and to memorise information about the activities of users accessing a website and may also contain a unique identifier that makes it possible to track users navigation and experience on the site for statistical or advertising purposes. During the navigation of a site, users may receive on their computer or mobile device also cookies from sites or web servers other than the one they are visiting (so-called third-party cookies) Some operations may not be possible without the use of cookies, which in some cases are technically necessary for the operation of the site.

There are various types of cookies, depending on their characteristics and functions, and these may remain on a user’s computer or mobile device for different time periods: so-called session cookies, which are automatically deleted when the browser is closed; so-called persistent cookies, which remain on the user’s device until a pre-established date.

Under current Italian legislation, the use of cookies does not always require express consent. In particular, such consent is not required for the so-called “technical” cookies, i.e. cookies used for the sole purpose of carrying out the transmission of data over an electronic communications network, or strictly necessary to provide a service explicitly requested by the user. In other words, cookies that are essential for the functioning of the site or to perform tasks requested by the user.

Among the technical cookies, which do not require consent for their use, the Italian Authority for the Protection of Personal Data (cfr. General Measure for the “Identification of simplified procedures for information and the acquisition of consent for the use of cookie - May 8, 2014”) also includes: 

  • “analytic cookies” when used directly by the site operator to collect information, in aggregate, about the number of users and how they visit the site;

  • navigation or session cookies (for authentication, to make purchases, etc.);

  • functional cookies, which allow the user to browse the site based on a set of selected criteria (for example, the language, the products selected for purchase) in order to improve the service provided.

On the other hand, for so-called profiling cookies, i.e. those aimed at creating profiles of users and used in order to send advertising messages in line with the preferences shown by the users surfing habits, prior consent of the user is required.

Cookies used on the website

The website uses the following types of cookies:

Technical session cookies In light of above, such cookies are necessary for the proper functioning of the website and allow a secure and efficient navigation. Session cookies are not stored on the user's device and they are deleted when the browser session ends. Session cookies do not require the user consent. 

Third-party cookies Such cookies are sent by websites managed by third parties, that collect and use them for their own purposes. Following the cookies used in this website and the links to the owner's policies:

  • analytic cookies The website uses Google Analytics, a web traffic analysis tool provided by Google, Inc. ("Google"), that uses cookies to analyze website usage behaviors. To use such cookies particular gimmicks are adopted, to reduce their tracking effect ("IP masking") and avoid the share of collected data with Google. Therefore, Google Analytics cookies are comparable to technical cookies, and consent from the user is not required
  • profiling cookies Profiling cookies allow the creation of user's profiles with the aim of sending him advertising messages aligned with the preferences tracked during the navigation. The use of such cookies requires the user consent. In particular, the website uses profiling cookies from: 
    • Google, Inc. (“Google”) The website activated the following advertising functions from Google Analytics: reports on demographics and interests. Other than standard Google Analytics data, such features allow the collection of traffic data through Google advertising cookies and anonymous identifiers. The website collects and uses data coming from advertising based on Google interests or Google Analytics third-party users data (e.g. age, gender and interests) and Google Analytics functions implemented according to display advertising (e.g. remarketing, demographic and interests reports in Google Analytics) with only statistical and analysis purposes. Data are collected and aggregated anonymously through proprietary or third-party software (e.g. Google Analytics). The website and third-party suppliers, like Google, already use proprietary cookies (e.g. Google Analytics cookies) and third-party cookies (e.g. DOubleClick) to inform, optimize and publish announcements basing on previous user visits; For more information about Google Analytics advertising policies
    • Facebook, Linkedin and Twitter The website uses Google tag Manager, a web service analysis tool by Google, Inc. ("Google") that allows the managemen of website tags with a dedicated user interface. Tags are placed across the website with analytics or marketing purposes, and therefore they activate profiling cookies from the cited social networks to measure, optimize and build an audience to direct advertising on their own platforms.
