Cookie Policy
Browsing the website tosconova.com involves the installation of cookies and similar tools on the user’s device.
Cookies are small text strings that websites visited by the user send to their device (usually the browser), where they are stored and then sent back to the same websites on the user’s subsequent visits. Through cookies, the website operator and third parties can gather information about users’ behavior while browsing.
Cookies can be:
- First-party cookies: Sent directly by the domain of the website operator.
- Third-party cookies: Sent by websites or web servers other than the one the user is currently browsing.
Additionally, cookies can be classified into the following categories:
- Technical cookies: Used to enable or improve the user’s browsing experience.
- Statistical cookies (or Analytics cookies): Used to collect aggregated data about users’ navigation on the website. Thanks to the anonymization of IP addresses, these tools do not allow the website operator to identify users, only to use aggregated data. As a result, these cookies are treated as technical cookies under the law.
- Advertising cookies: Used to profile users’ interests based on their behavior while browsing and to send advertising messages aligned with their preferences.
The rules governing the use of cookies also apply to other similar tools. These include mechanisms such as pixels, web beacons, web bugs, clear GIFs, or others that allow the identification of the user or their device, and are therefore covered under the Privacy Authority’s provision of May 8, 2014.
