COOKIE POLICY
1. WHAT IS A COOKIE?
A cookie is a text file that is stored on the user’s device (PC, Notebook, Smartphone, Tablet) that can be retrieved at a later time. Cookies remember the user’s actions and preferences (such as, for example, login data, chosen language, font size, other display settings, etc.) every time he/she visits the Website again.
While browsing a website, you may also receive on your computer or mobile device cookies from sites or web servers other than the one you are visiting (so-called “third-party” cookies). These third parties have their own personal data processing policies and privacy policies, which can be accessed directly from their websites; therefore, you should refer directly to these.
There are several types of cookies, depending on their characteristics and functions, which may remain on your PC, smartphone, tablet, etc. for a different length of time: so-called “session cookies,” which are automatically deleted when you close your browser; or so-called “persistent cookies,” which are stored on your equipment with a default expiration date.
According to the applicable regulation, the use of cookies does not always require the express consent of the user. In particular, consent is not required for the installation of “technical cookies,” which are necessary to operate the Websites or to perform activities requested by the user.
On the other hand, all other cookies (i.e., non-technical cookies) and, especially, content personalization cookies (i.e., those aimed at creating profiles related to the user and at sending advertising messages in line with the preferences expressed by the user when surfing the Web), may be used only after obtaining the user’s informed consent.
Similar functions can also be performed by other tracking tools that, while using different technologies (so-called “passive identifiers”, as opposed to the active ones previously mentioned), allow processing similar to cookies. For the sake of simplicity, in this Cookie Policy we will refer generically to “cookies,” by which we mean both cookies as such and other tracking tools.
TA Italia S.p.A. (hereafter “Controller”) uses different types of cookies for the website si.timacagro.com (“Site”), listed below. Next to every type of cookie, you can see the data retention validity as well as disable them directly.
