COOKIE POLICY

This notice regarding the use of cookies and other tracking tools on the website www.laurabiagiottiparfums.com (hereinafter, the “Website”) is provided to users/visitors (“you”) in compliance with European and Italian legislation concerning the processing of personal data and electronic communications.
The Website is owned by AB Parfums S.P.A., with registered office at Via Melchiorre Gioia no. 8, 20124 Milan (MI), Italy (hereinafter, the “Controller”), whom you may contact for any information or request relating to the use of cookies and other tracking tools on this Website by writing to abparfums@legalmail.it.
The Controller has appointed a Data Protection Officer (“DPO”), who may be contacted for any request or information at dpo@abparfums.it.
For further information regarding the processing of personal data, please refer to the Website Privacy Policy.

1. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files that the websites visited by the user send to and store on the user’s computer or mobile device, and which are then retransmitted to the same websites on subsequent visits. Cookies are used to remember users’ actions and preferences (for example, login details, selected language, font size, other display settings, etc.) so that such information does not need to be entered again when the user returns to the website or browses from one page to another. Cookies are also used for computer authentication, session monitoring and storage of information regarding users’ activities when accessing a website and may also contain a unique identification code enabling the tracking of users’ browsing activity on the website for statistical or advertising purposes. While browsing a website, users may also receive cookies on their computer or mobile device from websites or web servers other than the one being visited (“third-party cookies”). Certain operations could not be carried out without the use of cookies, which in some cases are therefore technically necessary for the functioning of the Website. There are different types of cookies, which vary according to their characteristics and functions, and which may remain on the user’s computer or mobile device for different periods of time: session cookies, which are automatically deleted when the browser is closed, and persistent cookies, which remain on the user’s device until a predetermined expiry date. Under applicable legislation, the use of cookies does not always require the user’s express consent. In particular, “technical cookies”, namely those used solely for the purpose of transmitting a communication over an electronic communications network, or strictly necessary to provide a service explicitly requested by the user, do not require such consent. In other words, these are cookies that are essential for the operation of the Website or necessary to perform activities requested by the user. “Profiling cookies”, on the other hand, which are intended to create user profiles and are used to send advertising messages in line with the preferences expressed by the user while browsing the Internet, require the user’s prior consent.

2. Cookies used by our Website
The Website uses cookies for its operation and for the provision of the services offered, to understand and improve the user’s browsing experience and to deliver advertising in line with the preferences expressed during Internet browsing. In particular, the Website uses:

• technical cookies, namely navigation or session cookies, strictly necessary for the functioning of the Website or to allow you to use the requested content and services (legal basis: performance of a contract or pre-contractual measures, namely browsing the Website and using its content and services);
• analytical cookies equivalent to technical cookies, including third-party cookies, used to produce aggregated statistics (legal basis: excluded from the obligation to obtain consent under legislation concerning electronic communications and, in particular, Article 122 of the Italian Privacy Code, as clarified by the “Guidelines on cookies and other tracking tools – 10 June 2021” issued by the Italian Data Protection Authority);
• analytical cookies, including third-party cookies, which help us understand how the Website is used by you and other users (legal basis: your prior consent. Providing consent is optional).

Third-party cookies are also used, namely cookies originating from websites or web servers other than those of the Controller, for the purposes specific to such third parties. In particular, the cookies used on the Website are the following:

However, if technical cookies are disabled, the Website may not be accessible, or certain services or functionalities may be unavailable or may not function properly and/or you may be required to modify or manually enter certain information or preferences each time you visit the Website (the installation of technical cookies is necessary for the proper functioning of the Website). For further details on how to configure cookie preferences through your browser, please refer to the relevant instructions. Below are links to instructions for the most common browsers:

Cookie Center
You may choose which categories of cookies to authorise by selecting them through our Cookie Center (by clicking on “Cookie Preferences”). Please note that:

• since “technical cookies” are strictly necessary for the functioning of the Website or for the use of the requested content and services, it is not possible to disable this category of cookies, as doing so would impair the proper functioning of the Website or the use of its content and services. If you do not wish this category of cookies to be installed on your device, we invite you not to use the Website (the installation of technical cookies is necessary for the proper functioning of the Website);
• since “analytical cookies equivalent to technical cookies” are used exclusively to produce aggregated statistics in order to enable the Controller to understand and improve the user’s browsing experience, the same rules applicable to technical cookies apply to them. If you do not wish this category of cookies to be installed on your device, we invite you not to use the Website;
• failure to consent to the installation and use of “analytical cookies” (including third-party cookies) does not affect the functioning of the Website. Providing consent is optional.

In addition to this procedure, you may always block or delete cookies (in whole or in part) through the specific functions of your browser (see above). The choices made regarding the Website’s cookies will in turn be stored in a dedicated technical cookie with the characteristics indicated in the relevant table. However, this cookie may not function properly in certain circumstances. In such cases, we recommend deleting unwanted cookies and preventing their use through the browser functions as well. Cookie preferences will need to be reset if different devices or browsers are used to access the Website or if cookies are deleted from your device.

5. Transfer of personal data outside the EU/EEA
Your personal data will not be transferred to countries outside the European Union (EU) or the European Economic Area (EEA) that do not ensure an adequate level of data protection, as established by specific decisions of the European Commission (https://ec.europa.eu/info/law/law-topic/data-protection/international-dimension-data-protection/adequacy-decisions_en).

Furthermore, you have the right to object, at any time, on grounds relating to your particular situation, to the processing of your personal data, in particular for marketing purposes, including profiling. To exercise these rights, you may contact the Controller at any time by writing to abparfums@legalmail.it or the DPO at dpo@abparfums.it.
