Cookie Policy

In accordance with the provision of the Italian Data Protection Authority (hereinafter, the “Authority”) of May 8, 2014, titled Simplified Arrangements to Provide Information and Obtain Consent Regarding Cookies (hereinafter, the “Cookies Provision”), as well as the requirements of EU Regulation 679/2016 on the protection of natural persons with regard to the processing of personal data, Nero di Michele Seppia, headquartered at Piazza San Francesco, 5, Arezzo – 52100 (AR), Italy, Tax Code: SPPMHL68P21C319Z, VAT No.: 01752040517, hereby informs users of the following.

To be fully informed about:

  • What are cookies?

  • What are they used for?

  • Do they pose potential risks to our privacy?

  • How can we protect our personal data while browsing online?

We also invite you to watch the new tutorial video produced by the Italian Data Protection Authority, which is part of an information campaign that also includes an informational sheet presented on this page and a list of frequently asked questions (FAQs) about “Information and Consent for the Use of Cookies.”

Cookies serve different purposes and have various functions. Some — such as technical cookies — are essential for the correct operation and security of the website, while others are used to analyze and improve your browsing experience and to personalize our communications.
In particular, the cookies used on the Michele Seppia website are as follows:

  • Technical Cookies: These are necessary for the proper functioning and security of the website. They may also be used to analyze and enhance your browsing experience and personalize communications.

  • Marketing Cookies: Through newsletter subscription forms or “Contact Us” sections on the website, these cookies allow us to track your preferences or device usage and help the website operate according to your expectations (for example, making it easier to find information about products that interest you).

Cookies and Privacy

Given the potential intrusiveness of profiling cookies (especially those from third parties) on users’ private spheres, both European and Italian law require that users be adequately informed about their use and that valid consent be obtained before such cookies are stored on their devices.

In particular, under the Provision on Simplified Arrangements to Provide Information and Obtain Consent Regarding Cookies of May 8, 2014 [web doc no. 3118884], the Italian Data Protection Authority established that when accessing the homepage or any other page of a website using cookies for profiling or marketing purposes, a clearly visible banner must immediately appear, indicating that:

  • The website uses profiling cookies to send targeted advertising messages;

  • The website allows third-party cookies to be sent (i.e., cookies installed by a different site through the one being visited);

  • A link is provided to an extended information notice explaining the use of cookies and allowing users to deny consent directly or via the websites of third parties;

  • By continuing to browse (for example, by accessing another area of the site or selecting an image or link), users give consent to the use of cookies.

Under EU Directive 2009/136/EC on cookies, the European Union seeks to better protect the personal data of Internet users. To this end, the EU distinguishes between technical cookies and profiling cookies.
According to the directive, essential cookies may be set immediately—without prior user consent—while non-essential cookies require active consent. The EU therefore requires an opt-in system for non-essential cookies.

The main difference between opt-out and opt-in systems is as follows:

  • Opt-out: Cookies are active from the start, and users may refuse data storage only afterward.

  • Opt-in: Cookies are activated only when and if the user consents to their storage.

User Options

In compliance with the above regulations, users can:

  • Accept the installation of all cookies by clicking “Accept all”;

  • Customize their preferences by selecting “Manage”, thereby consenting to some cookies but not others;

  • Refuse the installation of all cookies (except for technical ones) by clicking “Necessary only.”

Additional Options for Browsing Without Cookies

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

Block Third-Party Cookies

Third-party cookies are not generally essential for browsing, so you can refuse them by default using specific functions in your browser settings.

Enable the “Do Not Track” Option

The “Do Not Track” option is available in most modern browsers. Websites designed to respect this setting should automatically stop collecting certain browsing data when it is activated. However, not all websites are configured to honor this option (its application is discretionary).

Enable “Private” or “Incognito” Browsing Mode

By using this function, you can browse without leaving traces of your browsing data in your browser. Websites will not remember you, pages you visit will not appear in your history, and new cookies will be deleted after the session.
Please note that private browsing does not ensure complete anonymity on the Internet; it only prevents browsing data from being stored on your local browser. Your browsing activity may still be visible to website operators and Internet service providers.

Manually Delete Cookies

All browsers provide functions to delete cookies manually. Remember, however, that new cookies are downloaded every time you connect to the Internet, so deletion should be performed periodically. Some browsers also offer automated systems for regular cookie deletion.

Exercising Your Rights

You have the right to request from the Data Controller:

  • Access to your personal data (Art. 15),

  • Rectification (Art. 16) or deletion (Art. 17) of such data,

  • Restriction of processing (Art. 18),

  • Objection to processing (Art. 21), and

  • The right to data portability (Art. 20).

You may exercise these rights by completing the appropriate form (available on the website of the Italian Data Protection Authority: https://www.garanteprivacy.it/home/modulistica-e-servizi-online and sending it to the Data Controller via one of the following methods:
