Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy is an integral part of CN Continental S.r.l.'s Privacy Policy.

Introduction

A cookie is a small file of letters and numbers that is downloaded to 'terminal equipment' (e.g. a computer or smartphone) when the user accesses a website. It enables the website to recognise the user's device and store some information about the user's preferences or past actions for varying periods of time as required.

The user can express his or her options on the use of cookies on this site (specify the list of cookies used on the site by the client - data controller and/or developer of the same) also through the settings of the browser(s) by following the instructions provided. The user can also set up "anonymous browsing" which allows him/her to surf the Internet without saving any information about the sites, the pages visited, any passwords entered and any other information that can be traced back to his/her identity.

In the course of browsing, the user may also receive 'third-party' cookies on his or her terminal, i.e. cookies sent by different sites or web servers on which certain elements (such as, for example, images or specific links to pages on other domains) present on the site he or she is visiting may reside.

Cookies are used for different purposes: carrying out computer authentication, session monitoring, storing information on specific configurations concerning users accessing the server, etc. Some of the purposes for which cookies are installed may also require the user's consent.

In order to arrive at a proper regulation of these devices, given that there are no technical characteristics that differentiate them from one another, it is necessary to distinguish them precisely on the basis of the purposes pursued by those who use them.

In fact, in implementation of the provisions contained in Directive 2009/136/EC, there is an obligation to obtain the prior and informed consent of users for the installation of cookies used for purposes other than purely technical ones (see Article 1(5)(a) of Legislative Decree No 69 of 28 May 2012, which amended Article 122 of the Code).

In line with Applicable law, your prior consent for the use of cookies is not always required. In particular, such consent is not required for "technical cookies", e.g. those used for the sole purpose of carrying a communication over an electronic communication network, or strictly necessary to provide a service that has been explicitly requested by you. In other words, cookies that are indispensable for the operation of a site.

On the other hand, your prior consent is required for non-anonymised 'analytical' cookies and for profiling cookies, e.g. those that provide statistical analysis of the use of a website or that create user profiles in order to send them advertising messages in line with the preferences they have expressed while browsing.

How to check and possibly disable cookies

In the event that the user has doubts or concerns about the use of cookies, it is always possible to take action to prevent them from being set and read, for example by modifying the privacy settings within the browser used on his terminal, in order to block certain types.
The user can therefore manage cookie preferences directly within the browser and prevent third parties from installing cookies, for example. You can also delete cookies installed in the past via your browser preferences, including the cookie in which your consent to the installation of cookies by this website is possibly stored. It is important to note that by disabling all cookies, the operation of this site may be impaired.

Specific and analytical description of the cookies installed by the site

The 'cookies' banner - consent to their use

As required by the provision "Identification of simplified procedures for the provision of information and the acquisition of consent for the use of cookies" of 8 May 2014 and as also referred to in Article 122, paragraph 2, of the Code, when provided, it is necessary for the user to express their consent to the use of cookies.
When using the application for the first time, the user will see a brief information note on the use of cookies appear.
By continuing to use the application, closing the wrapper by clicking on the "OK" button, clicking on the "Read more" button to highlight further content, you accept the Cookie Policy and cookies will be set and collected.
In the event of non-acceptance of cookies by abandoning browsing, any cookies already registered locally on the user's device will remain registered there (subject to any deletions made by the user's terminal browser or in a similar manner) but will no longer be read or used until any subsequent acceptance of the Cookie Policy.
The application remembers the choice made by the user, so the short information will not be repeated in subsequent connections from the same device. However, the user always has the possibility of revoking all or part of the consent already expressed.
In the event of technical problems related to the provision of consent, the user is requested to contact the Data Controller through the appropriate channels indicated on the site.
