Cookie Policy

In compliance with the provision of the Italian Data Protection Authority (hereinafter, the “Guarantor”) of 10 June 2021, containing the Guidelines for cookies and other tracking tools as well as with the requirements of EU Regulation 679/2016 on the protection of individuals with regard to the processing of personal data, PIGEST S.r.l., Via Foggia - zona artigianale s.n., C.A.P. 72017, Ostuni (BR), C.F. and P.IVA 0243861074 (in short, PIGEST) intends to inform visitors to its website on how to refuse, modify or give consent to the cookies used.

In particular, we want to provide you with the information you need to be fully informed about:

Cookies are small text strings that the sites you visit send to your terminal (usually to your browser), where they are stored and then retransmitted to the same sites during the next visit by the same user. Cookies are distinguished by their duration, purpose and origin.

The duration of cookies can be either session or persistent: the first type of cookie is automatically deleted after the browser is closed, while the second type remains on the user's device until a predetermined expiry date.

With regard to origin, they can be first-party and third-party. A first-party cookie is a cookie installed by the operator of the site that the user is visiting; otherwise, a cookie is a third-party cookie when it is sent from a site other than the one being viewed by the user. These third party companies, other than the publisher, act as Autonomous Controllers of the processing.

Depending on the type and origin of the cookies, installation will or will not be subject to your consent.

Cookies are of a different nature and are used for different purposes. Some of them, such as technical cookies, are useful for the proper functioning and security of the site; others are aimed at analysing and improving your browsing experience and personalising our communications. In particular, cookies can be:

• Technical: useful for the proper functioning and security of the site;
• Analytical or statistical: not functional to the operation of the Site, but allow the Data Controller to statistically monitor the use of the Site by visitors and to analyse traffic to and from the Site; they also allow statistical analyses aimed at improving and simplifying the Site and monitoring its proper functioning;
• Profiling: to outline your preferences and enable you to receive the best and most personalised offers;
• Marketing: through the use of Newsletter or Contact Us forms contained on the website, they allow your preferences or device to be tracked and are also used to make the website work according to your expectations (e.g. finding information about a product you are interested in more easily).

Given the particular invasiveness that cookies (especially third-party cookies) can have on users' private sphere, European and Italian laws provide that the user must be adequately informed about their use and express his or her valid consent to the insertion of cookies on his or her terminal.

In particular, with the provision "Guidelines on Cookies and Other Tracking Tools", the Italian Data Protection Authority (Garante per la protezione dei dati personali) has deemed it necessary to clarify that the framework for identifying the technical method for obtaining online consent for tracking via cookies (or other tools) outlined in the aforementioned provision of May 2014 is still valid, despite the changed regulatory framework that favors and requires data controllers to act in compliance with the new accountability regime (Article 5, paragraph 2, of the Regulation), allowing them, where appropriate, to also adopt different methods to ensure compliance with the rules and the protection of data subjects.

Generally speaking we can say that when accessing the home page or another page of a website that uses cookies, a clearly visible banner must immediately appear, clearly indicating:

1. that the site uses cookies;
2. what types of cookies are used;
3. that the site also allows the sending of “third-party” cookies;
4. a link to more extensive information, with indications on the use of cookies sent by the site and where it is possible to deny consent to their installation (directly or by linking to the various sites in the case of third-party cookies);
5. the possibility of choosing which types of cookies to accept and, in the event of refusal, that the possibility of browsing the site is not denied;
6. the possibility of changing choices at any time through an easy-to-use interface.

We also invite you to watch a new video tutorial created by the Italian Data Protection Authority. This is part of an information campaign that also includes the information sheet presented on this page and a list of answers to frequently asked questions (FAQs) regarding "Information and consent for the use of cookies."

Consent to the installation of cookies can also be expressed through the settings of the browser used for browsing.

These cookies are installed and managed directly by Pigest Srl. Profiling cookies can be used to personalize our communications based on your interests and deliver messages in line with your preferences.

The installation of these cookies requires your consent, which you can change at any time using the "Manage your preferences" feature.

These cookies are installed and managed directly by Pigest Srl. Marketing cookies help us improve the effectiveness of our messages and personalize marketing information based on your browsing preferences. Installing these cookies requires your consent, which you can change at any time using the "Manage your preferences" feature.

Through this website, cookies managed by third-party companies other than PIGEST Srl may also be installed; such companies act as Autonomous Controllers of the processing. The installation of these cookies requires your consent, which you can change at any time through the "Manage your preferences" feature or by accessing the following links to the relevant information.

Below is a detailed list of the third-party cookies we use and links to them.

• Google Analytics GA4In compliance with the Privacy Guarantor's provision Doc-Web 9782874, PIGEST Srl has chosen to use Google's Analytics platform version 4, which does not collect (and does not send data to the USA) information relating to the IP address of the user's device and/or information relating to the browser, operating system, screen resolution, selected language, as well as the date and time of the website visit.
• Google Tag ManagerThis website uses Google Tag Manager. This service, provided by Google Ireland Limited, allows us to manage website tags via an interface. Google Tag Manager only implements tags; it does not set its own cookies that collect personal data nor does it directly track users. However, it is important to emphasize that Google Tag Manager facilitates the activation of other tags which, in turn, may collect data. Its function is purely technical and organizational, essential for the proper functioning and efficient updating of the analysis and marketing services integrated into the site.
• Meta Cookies (Facebook and Instagram)To optimize our communication and offer you content in line with your interests, we may use cookies provided by Meta Platforms Ireland Ltd. (which manages Facebook and Instagram). These cookies allow for the personalization of content and advertisements displayed on Meta platforms and other websites that use their advertising services. Furthermore, they are used to measure the effectiveness of our promotional campaigns and to obtain aggregated data on user interactions with our content. This activity helps us present you with more relevant advertisements and evaluate the impact of our marketing initiatives. For more information on data processing by Meta, we invite you to consult their data policy.
• YouTube CookiesWithin our site, we may embed videos hosted on the YouTube platform, a service of Google Ireland Limited. When you interact with such video content or visit pages on our site where they are present, YouTube may install cookies on your device. These cookies are used by YouTube for various purposes, including personalizing your user experience, displaying targeted advertisements on the YouTube platform and other partner sites, suggesting videos related to your tastes, and analyzing viewing statistics. The activation of these cookies typically occurs when the video is played or when accessing the page containing it. For further details, we recommend that you review Google's privacy policy.

In any case, in addition to the protections provided, you also have other options for browsing without cookies.

Activate the Do Not Track option
The Do Not Track option is present in most of the latest generation of browsers. Websites designed to respect this option should automatically stop collecting some of your surfing data when activated. As mentioned, however, not all websites are set up to respect this (discretionary) option.

Activate “anonymous browsing” mode
With this function you can surf without leaving any trace of your surfing data in the browser. Sites will not remember you, pages you visit will not be stored in the history and new cookies will be deleted. However, the anonymous surfing function does not guarantee anonymity on the Internet, as it only serves to keep your surfing data in the browser, whereas your surfing data will remain available to website operators and connectivity providers.

Delete cookies directly
There are special functions to do this in all browsers. Remember, however, that new cookies are downloaded every time you connect to the Internet, so deleting them should be done periodically. If desired, some browsers offer automated systems for periodic deletion of cookies.
