Introduction

This Cookie Policy has been drafted and customised specifically for the website www.grupposcart.it owned by Scart S.r.l. located at Nucleo Pianacci 28 – 52011 Bibbiena (AR), having VAT number 00113990519 and email info@grupposcart.com.

This Policy has been drawn up on the basis of the provision of the Italian Data Protection Authority no. 229 dated 8th May 2014 on “Identification of the simplified procedures for the provision of information and the acquisition of consent for the use of cookies” and of Provision no. 231 dated 10th June 2021 on “Guidelines for cookies and other tracking tools” issued by the same Authority. It complements and updates other information already on the site and/or in conjunction with which it provides all information required by Article 13 of EU Regulation 2016/679.

Important notice

We inform all third parties that the use of this Policy or parts thereof on other websites making irrelevant and/or incorrect and/or inconsistent references thereto, may result in the imposition of heavy sanctions by the Personal Data Protection Authority.

What are cookies?

In practical and non-technical terms, cookie can be considered as a tracking system consisting of a small file, stored by the website on the user’s device while browsing, used with the aim of saving the preferences expressed when browsing and improving the performance of the website, while optimising the browsing experience.

In technical terms, cookies are defined as strings of text (generally formed by the combination of letters and numbers) that the websites (first-parties) visited by the user or different websites/web servers (third-parties) place and store, directly and/or indirectly within a terminal device (PC, tablet, smartphone, etc.) that is available to the user. The servers for browsing the Internet or for the operation of the device can store the cookies and then retransmit them to the same sites to have generated them, in view of a subsequent visit by the same user. Specifically, these tracking tools allow the website to recognise a specific device or browser.

Types of cookies and relative end uses

Cookies can be classified as:

Technical cookies used for the sole purpose of sending messages over an electronic communications network, to the extent strictly necessary for the provider of a company service, with the information explicitly requested by the contractor or user to provide this service, as established by Article 122(1) of the Code. These types of cookies do not require the acquisition of consent by the user but must be indicated in the Cookie Policy;
Profiling cookies used to trace specific actions or behavioural patterns to specific, identified or identifiable subjects in order to allow the Data Controller to modulate the provision of the service in a more personalised way and send advertising messages in line with the preferences expressed by the user during browsing;
Analytics cookies installed on the user’s terminal by managers of the visited website or third-party sites. Third-party cookies, mainly used for analysis purposes, derive from the Google Analytics 4 functionalities with the addition of a proxy server. In any case, cookies do not allow the identification of the Data Subject and are intended to refer to the individual device or the individual application in order to avoid tracking the user’s browsing data. Analytics cookies can be treated in the same way as technical cookies and therefore, regardless of the user’s consent, under the following conditions:
- Use is limited to the production of aggregated statistics that can be utilised in relation to the site visited by the user;
- With reference to so-called third-party analytics cookies, with the use of Google Analytics 4, there will be no transfer outside the EU without adequate data protection guarantees;
- With regard to so-called third-party analytics cookies, the third party must be prevented from using analytics cookies in combination with other processing or transmitting them to further third parties.

Applicable standard

For the use of cookies and other technical tracking tools, the Data Controller is subject to the sole obligation to provide specific information to the Data Subject. With regard to cookies and other tracking tools for purposes other than technical ones, use is allowed only after obtaining the user’s informed consent, which must be expressed with an unequivocal act pursuant to Recital 32.

Consent acquisition mechanism

The Data Controller guarantees the mechanism for acquiring consent by presenting a banner upon the user’s first access to the site.

The banner contains:

An X in the upper right corner that is equivalent to a lack of consent by the user;
A brief statement in which it is represented that the site uses technical cookies and only, after obtaining the user’s consent, also profiling cookies;
A link to the Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy;
A command through which the user expresses their consent;
A link to an area dedicated to the choice and personalisation of cookies in which the user can freely give their consent with respect to the functions, the suppliers and the specific cookies they intend to accept.

In the event that the user does not consent to the use of cookies and other tracking tools and in the case whereby the user has chosen to give their consent only for the use of certain cookies, the choice is recorded and no longer requested, except in the following cases or when:

One or more processing conditions change significantly;
It is impossible for the site manager to know whether a cookie has already been stored in the device;
At least 6 months have passed since the previous presentation of the banner.

Legal basis of the provision

For technical cookies, the legal basis for the provision is represented by the legitimate interest of the Data Controller, pursuant to Article 6(f) of the GDPR, since these are cookies necessary for the operation of the site. For non-technical cookies, the legal basis for the provision is the consent expressly expressed by the user and always revocable pursuant to Article 6(a) of the GDPR.

Browser settings

We also wish to inform you that users can freely and at any time configure their privacy parameters in relation to the installation and use of cookies, directly through their browsing program (browser) by following the relative instructions.

The following links explain how to access the cookie settings in the various browsers:

In particular, users can set private browsing, thanks to which their browsing program interrupts saving the history of websites visited, any passwords entered, cookies and other information on the pages visited.

We wish to inform you that if users decide to disable all cookies (including those of a technical nature), the quality and speed of services offered by this website may worsen dramatically and you may lose access to some sections of the website.

Rights of the Data Subjects

The persons to whom the personal data refers have the right at any time to request access to and rectification of the data, erasure of the data, restriction of processing, the right to object to the processing of the data, as well as the right to data portability. They also have the right to lodge a complaint with the Supervisory Authority under the link of the Personal Data Protection Authority, https://www.garanteprivacy.it/home/footer/contatti.
