INTRODUCTION 

This cookie policy aims to explain how this website fi.prysmian.com, in its capacity of Data Controller (the “Controller” or the “Company”), collects and processes Personal Data through the cookies used on this website https://fi.prysmian.com/ (the “Website”) and to provide information as to the choices that any user of the Website (the “User”) can make in terms of controlling what cookies are installed when the visitor accesses and browses the Website.

Unless otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms used herein will have the meanings attributed to them in Personal Data Protection and Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (the “GDPR”).

Please note that this policy uses the term ‘cookies’ also to refer to similar technologies covered by the law (such as, for example, Local Shared Objects - commonly referred to as "flash cookies", web beacons or bugs, including transparent clear gifs, etc.).

The information gathered by means of such tools constitute data that, in certain cases, may allow the Company to identify the Users by associating such data with other information kept by third parties (such as, for example, the IP address, DNS and registration numbers of the computers used by people connecting to the Website). These data are used and processed only for statistical purposes.

This document shall form, according to the applicable data protection legislation, including GDPR, an integral and substantial part of the Company’s Privacy Policy. We strongly recommend, therefore, to read this document as well.

WHAT IS A COOKIE? 

A cookie is a small text file that a website saves on your computer or mobile device when you visit the Website. Cookies are then sent back to the originating website on each subsequent visit, or to another website that recognizes that cookie, to develop a record of the user’s online activity. Cookies on this site may be delivered in a first-party (set by our website) or third-party (set by our Website) context and may also be set in association with emails you receive from us. The use of cookies and similar technologies has for some time been commonplace and cookies in particular are important in the provision of many online services. Using such technologies is not, therefore, prohibited by the law but they do require that people are properly informed about how they operate and the consequences deriving from their use, so to have the choice to refuse them, if feasible.

CONSENT ABOUT COOKIES 

Some cookies are strictly necessary for the correct functioning of Internet and the Website and do not require User's consent, such as those ensuring that the content of a page loads quickly and effectively by distributing the workload across numerous computers or else those providing security. Other cookies are still reasonably necessary or important but they are not strictly essential and, therefore, require User's consent. User's consent is collected through different techniques implemented on this Website. One mechanism is the click of the specific box on the cookie banner highlighting the use of cookies and published on the landing page.

COOKIES THAT WE USE

Essential (or technical) cookies and aggregated analytical cookies. These are cookies that are required for the operation of the Website and use its features. The information collected relates to the operation of the Website (e.g. website scripting language and security tokens) and enables us to provide you with the service you have requested. First-party and third-party analytical cookies can be considered as technical cookies only in certain cases: if they are only used to produce aggregate statistics and in relation to a single site; if, for third-party cookies, at least the fourth component of the IP address is masked; if the third parties refrain from combining such analytical cookies with other processing (e.g. customer files or statistics of visits to other sites) or from transmitting them to third parties. For simplicity, these cookies will hereafter be described as “aggregated analytical cookies”. Further we shall describe the essential (or technical) cookies and the aggregate analytical cookies used on this Website.

Non-aggregate Analytical cookies. These cookies collect information on how users use our Website, for example which pages you visit most often, whether you receive any error messages and how you arrived at our Website. Information collected by these cookies is used only to improve your use of our Website. These cookies are sometimes placed by third party providers of web traffic and analysis services. As stated here above, first-party and third-party analytical cookies are comparable to technical cookies only in certain cases: if they are only used to produce aggregate statistics and in relation to a single site; if, for third-party cookies, at least the fourth component of the IP address is masked; if the third parties refrain from combining such analytical cookies with other processing (e.g. customer files or statistics of visits to other sites) or from transmitting them to third parties. The cookies described below don’t have these features, therefore can’t be assimilated to technical cookies and are described hereafter for simplicity as “non-aggregate analytical cookies”.

Marketing (or profiling) cookies. These cookies are able to collect personal information such as your name, which pages you visit on our Website, your history arriving at our Website and purchases. Collected information is used to evaluate the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns or to provide better targeting for marketing.
