What are cookies

This website uses cookies. Cookies are short text strings (made up of letters and numbers) that websites (so-called Publisher, or “first parties”) visited by the user or different websites or web servers (so-called “third parties”) place and store – directly, in the case of publishers and indirectly, that is, through the latter, in the case of “third parties” - within a terminal device (e.g., computer, tablet, smartphone) in the User's availability.

The software for browsing the internet and the operation of these devices, such as browsers for example, can store cookies and then transmit them again to the websites that generated them on the occasion of a subsequent visit by the same user, thus maintaining memory of his/her previous interaction with one or more websites.

The information encoded in the cookies may include personal data, such as an IP address, username, unique identifier or email address, but may also contain non-personal data, such as language settings or information about the type of device that a person is using to browse the website.

Cookies are used to perform functions, such as for example computer authentication, session monitoring and the storage of information on websites (without the use of Cookies some operations would be very complex or impossible to perform), also with reference to the identification preferences based on the browsing experience. While browsing a Website, the User can also receive on his/her terminal Cookies that are managed and sent by different websites or web servers (so-called “third parties”), on which some elements may reside (such as, for example, images, maps, sounds, specific links to pages of other domains) present on the Website that the same is visiting.

Through cookies we cannot access other information stored on your device, even if this is where the cookies are downloaded. Cookies cannot load codes of any kind, carry viruses or malware and are not harmful to the user's terminal.

There are also other tracking tools (so-called passive, assuming mere observation, for example the so-called “Fingerprinting”, “Pixel Tag”, “Plug-in”) that allow you to carry out treatments similar to those carried out through Cookies and achieve the same results. For these identifiers, however, the User does not have autonomously operable tools, necessarily having to resort to the action of the Data Controller. This is because the latter makes use of a reading technique that does not presuppose the storage of information within the User's device, but the mere observation of the configurations that distinguish it, making it identifiable and the outcome of which is substantiated in a “Profile” which remains solely in the availability of the Data Controller, to which the interested party has no free and direct access. These identifiers cannot be removed directly by the User himself through the browser settings; it is therefore necessary for the User to make use of the right to revoke the authorization for their use through the features made available on the Website by the Data Controller to review his/her choices. 

Generally, these tools can be classified by:

• Type of tool
  • Cookies (active identifiers)
  • Other tracking tools (passive identifiers)
• Origin
  • First Party (or “Publisher”, or the manager of the Website that the User is visiting)
  • Third Party (operator of a different Website that installs Cookies through the Website of the First Party)
• Duration
  • Session (temporary, deleted when the browser is closed or, in the foreseen cases, when the logout command is executed)
  • Permanent (remain active until their expiration date or their cancellation by the User)
• Purposes
  • Technical purposes (related to the functioning of the Website)
  • Non-technical purposes (such as the User browsing profile)

Below you can find all the information about the cookies and other tracking tools installed through this site and the necessary information on how to manage your preferences in this regard.

To know the Data Controller (Beautimport S.r.l., VAT number 04270380373, with registered office in Via Barberia, 13 - 40123 Bologna), the purposes, methods and legal bases of the processing, the categories of personal data involved, any categories of recipients of personal data communications, the terms of storage, as well as the rights of Users as interested parties, consult the privacy policy of our Website.

Consent of the User

When connecting to the page of the Website for the first time, the User will see a brief information on the use of cookies. The User can choose to consent to the use of all the tracking tools by clicking on “Accept all” or choose to set only the necessary ones by clicking on “Use only essential” or manage their preferences by clicking on “Customize settings”.

The Website remembers the choice made by the User, therefore, the brief information will not be re-proposed in subsequent connections made from the same device. However, the User always has the option of revoking all or part of the consent already expressed. If you encounter technical problems related to the provision of consent, please contact us through the appropriate channels provided by the Website to allow us to provide you with assistance.

What types of cookies do we use

To allow the use of our Website and the provision of our Services, we make use of both so-called persistent cookies (i.e. cookies that remain in memory until they are manually deleted by the User or for which a scheduled removal is planned for a long time term) and of so-called session cookies, which are not permanently stored on the visitor's computer and disappear when the browser is closed.

Technical Cookies

Technical Cookies allow easy use of the Website and easier retrieval of information, simplifying the connection and transmission of data between the User and the Website.

We use Technical Navigation Cookies on our Website, which are strictly necessary as they guarantee normal navigation and the correct functioning of the Website (e.g. authentication for access to restricted areas), allowing you to use the services offered. Without the use of these cookies, some services on the Website may not be accessible, displayed correctly or function in a non-optimal manner. Functionality, preference and localization Cookies could also be used that allow you to change the behavior and appearance of the Website (e.g. preferred language, size of texts or characters, geographical area in which the User is located), the absence of which does not affect the browsing of the Website, but makes it less efficient and functional.

We also inform you that, at any time, you can block Cookies through your browser settings; however, if you set your device to refuse these Cookies, some services of the Website may not be displayed correctly or function in a non-optimal way, in particular, the operations that allow the User to be identified and to maintain identification within the session could be more complex to carry out and less secure in the absence of Technical Cookies.

Cookies with no-technical function

These are tools used to trace certain, specific and recurring behaviors or activities in the use of the Website's functions to certain subjects, in order to associate the different profiles with homogeneous groupings, and to optimize and customize the services offered and/or send advertising messages in line with the preferences expressed by the User in the context of browsing the web. All additional cookies and other tracking identifiers that do not fall within the scope of the technical function are also included. These are persistent cookies, as they remain active until their expiration date or their cancellation by the User. These cookies are proprietary and also managed by third parties: their use is possible only with the user's consent; the preference is tracked by means of a specific technical cookie.

We remind you that you can only select the Cookies and other tracking tools to the use of which you intend to consent. Using the “Customize Settings” option, you can change your preferences at any time, thus revising your choices; in any case, you can always block cookies through the browser settings.

Transfer of personal data to countries outside the European Union

Some of the Third Parties that provide services through the Cookies used on our Website, which have been authorized in advance, or other third parties involved by the aforementioned Third Parties in the provision of the aforementioned services, may eventually receive and process your personal data in Third Countries (Countries not belonging to the European Union or to the European Economic Area). 
If provided, due to the purpose of the processing, the transfer of personal data to Third Countries will take place on the basis of the provisions of the applicable legislation in force, and in the presence of a suitable guarantee measure (e.g., among others, by reason of an adequacy decision adopted by the European Commission, or after the stipulation of the so-called “Standard Contractual Clauses”, between the importer and the exporter of the data).  
We also inform you that the personal data collected through the use of Cookies will not be disclosed.

Legal basis for data processing

The legal basis on which the processing of data collected by our Website through the use of cookies with a non-technical function is exclusively constituted by the consent given by the interested party. In the case of cookies with a technical function, the legal basis can be found in the legitimate interest of the Company.
