GVZ Cookie Policy
Cookies are used by websites to recognize users during a browsing session.
As stated by the Italian Data Protection Authority, they are “small text files”—made up of letters and numbers—“that the websites visited by the user send to the user’s terminal (usually the browser), where they are stored and then transmitted back to the same websites during the user’s next visit.”
Cookies are safe: they can only store information entered by the browser, related to access within the browser itself or included in the requested page.
They cannot transform into code and cannot be used to access the user’s computer.
If a website encrypts the information in a cookie, only that website can read the information.
Below is a brief description of the main types of cookies:
Session e Persistent Cookies
-
Session Cookies contain information used during your current browser session. These cookies are automatically deleted when you close the browser. Nothing is stored on your computer beyond the duration of your visit (e.g., ASP.NET_SessionId, language).
-
Persistent Cookies (such as ASPXANONYMOUS) store information used between site visits or for technical purposes to improve navigation. This data allows sites to recognize you as a returning user and adjust accordingly. “Persistent” cookies have a lifespan set by the website, ranging from a few minutes to several years.
First-Party and Third-Party Cookies
-
First-Party Cookies belong to the site that created them.
-
Third-Party Cookies are created by external domains and their data is stored by a third party.
Technical Cookies
GVZ Components websites primarily use technical cookies to enable navigation and use of related services.
For this reason, these cookies do not require user consent. Technical cookies are used solely to transmit electronic communications or to the extent strictly necessary to provide a service explicitly requested by the user. They are not used for any other purpose and are typically installed directly by the website owner or manager.
Technical cookies include:
-
Navigation or session cookies, which ensure normal navigation and use of the site (e.g., making a purchase or logging into reserved areas).
-
Analytics cookies, treated as technical cookies when used directly by the site operator to collect aggregate information on the number of users and how they visit the site.
-
Functionality cookies, which allow navigation according to selected criteria (e.g., language, selected products) to improve service.
Unlike profiling and certain third-party cookies, the installation of these cookies does not require prior user consent, though the site must still provide information pursuant to Article 13 of EU Regulation 2016/679.
GVZ Components uses only technical cookies and does not employ profiling cookies. Specifically:
-
No personal user data is collected by the site.
-
No cookies are used to transmit personal information, nor are persistent cookies or user-tracking systems utilized.
-
The use of session cookies (not stored permanently on the user’s computer and deleted when the browser is closed) is strictly limited to transmitting session identifiers (random numbers generated by the server) necessary for secure and efficient site navigation.
The session cookies used on GVZ Components websites avoid the use of other computer techniques that could compromise user privacy and do not allow the collection of personally identifiable information.
