COOKIE POLICY
Updated on December 17, 2024

This website (the “Website”) uses cookies to improve the user’s browsing experience and ensure its proper functioning.

  • Data controller identification

The data controller for the personal data collected through the Website is Nicole Sparvieri S.r.l., with its registered office at Via Courmayeur 24, 00135 Rome, Italian VAT number 15600431009 (hereinafter referred to as “We” or “Nicole Sparvieri”).

  • General Information

To provide you with a better and more personalized browsing experience, We, as the data controller, need to store information about how the Website is used. This is done through tracking tools, including cookies.

Cookies are text files containing small amounts of information sent by a website to the browser on the user’s computer or other device, where they are stored and later sent back to the same website during subsequent visits. This allows the Website to recognize the user, cater to their preferences, and facilitate navigation.

Each time the Website is used, personal data may be collected through these cookies and other technologies. This Cookie Policy should be read in conjunction with the Privacy Policy, where you can find further information about the processing of your personal data.

  • Data controller contact

For more information regarding the use of cookies, you can contact Us via email at info@nicolesparvieri.com

  • What types of cookies are used and for how long?

Cookies can be classified into two main categories: “technical cookies” and “profiling cookies”.

Technical cookies are used solely to enable communication over an electronic communications network or as strictly necessary to provide a service explicitly requested by the user.

Profiling cookies are designed to track users’ browsing behavior and create profiles based on their preferences, enabling personalized advertising.

There is also a third category, “analytical cookies”, which are treated as technical cookies when used directly by a website to gather aggregated data on the number of users and their interactions with the Website.

We inform users that different types of cookies used have a predetermined duration, as specified in the 

Privacy Preferences Center”, unless disabled by the user as described in the section “How can you control cookies?”.

Additionally, the cookies used on the Website include both first-party cookies (managed directly by Nicole Sparvieri) and third-party cookies (installed by trusted external providers).

Below is an overview of the types of cookies used on the Website:

  • Strictly necessary cookies

These cookies allow the user’s browsing session to be saved and are essential for the proper functioning of the Website. They respond to user service requests, such as completing forms. While you can configure your browser to block these cookies, some parts of the Website may not function properly.

  • Analytical and performance cookies

We use analytical services to understand the effectiveness of content, users’ interests, and to improve the Website’s functionality. These tools also track visitor numbers and their frequency of visits. If you disable these cookies, We will not be able to gather information about your visits to the Website.

  • Functionality cookies

We use functionality cookies to record user preferences and enable advanced Website customization. These cookies may be installed directly by Us or by third parties. Disabling these cookies may impair the quality and experience of your browsing on the Website.

  • Profiling/Targeting cookies

Profiling cookies are used to deliver targeted advertising based on user preferences and browsing behavior. These cookies may be installed by Us or by third-party advertising partners, who may display personalized ads on other websites. The installation and use of these cookies require user consent.

  • How can you control cookies?

You can control and manage cookies in several ways, as outlined below:

  • Cookie Settings
  • Browser Controls 
  • Managing Local Shared Objects or Flash Cookies

The deletion or blocking of cookies may affect the user’s browsing experience, and certain parts of the Website may no longer be fully accessible. The installation of strictly necessary cookies does not require the user’s prior consent. These cookies can be disabled at any time through the browser settings, as specified in the “Browser Controls” section.

To disable/enable analytical and performance cookies or functionality cookies, users are invited to access the link to the “Privacy Preferences Center”, as outlined in the “Cookie Settings” section of this Cookie Policy.

The installation and use of profiling/targeting cookies require the user’s consent, provided upon first access to the Website through the methods described in the cookie banner (i.e., by clicking on “Accept All Cookies”). Once consent has been given, the user may revoke it at any time by disabling the installation of profiling cookies via the dedicated link to the “Privacy Preferences Center”, as specified in the “Cookie Settings” section of this Cookie Policy, or through browser settings, as detailed in the “Browser Controls” section of this Cookie Policy.

  • Cookie settings

Cookies used by this Website can be managed through the dedicated area “Privacy Preferences Center”, where you can adjust settings for the following categories: “Analytical and Performance Cookies”, “Functionality Cookies”, “Profiling/Targeting Cookies”. Use the “ACTIVE/INACTIVE” toggle to enable or disable each category.

  • Browser controls

Each browser is different, so users should refer to their specific browser settings to configure cookie preferences. Note that removing all cookies will reset any previously saved settings.

It is therefore possible to configure the browser to accept or reject cookies, or to notify the user when a specific cookie has been sent. Each browser is different, so it is necessary to check the configuration settings of the specific browser used to manage cookie enablement options.

  • Managing local shared objects or flash cookies

A locally shared object or flash cookie is similar to most other cookies but can store additional types of information. These types of cookies cannot be controlled using the mechanisms described above. Certain parts of this Website use these cookies to store user preferences related to media player functionalities; without them, some video content may not function properly.

  • Social media buttons

We also use “social buttons” to allow users to share or recommend web pages. These are buttons that redirect to third-party social media websites, which may record information about users’ online activities. Users are encouraged to review the respective terms of use and privacy policies of these websites to fully understand how their information is used and how consent for such use can be revoked.

  • External Web Services

In certain cases, we use external web services on this Website to enable the display of specific content, such as reproducing images and displaying videos. As with social buttons, we cannot prevent these third-party websites from collecting information about users’ interactions. Users are therefore encouraged to review the individual privacy policies of these third parties to obtain detailed information about how their data is processed.

  • Amendments to the Cookie Policy

We may, at our sole discretion, make periodic amendments or updates to this Cookie Policy, including to comply with necessary regulatory adjustments. When such modifications are made, we will update the revision date, and the changes to this Cookie Policy will take effect for users and the processing of their personal data as of the new date. We therefore encourage users to periodically review this Cookie Policy to stay informed about how we use cookies.
