Cookies are small pieces of data used to make our website easier and more intuitive, to compare new and returning visitors and to understand how users navigate through our website. We use the data collected through cookies to make the browsing experience more pleasant and efficient in the future.

The information contained in this Cookie Policy (the “Cookie Policy”) is provided by the Data Controller (as defined below) as a supplement to the information on the processing of personal data, which is always available on this website (the “Website”) and accessible at https://www.vivaicapitanio.it/.

This Cookie Policy describes the different types of cookies that may be installed through the Website, their purposes, the retention period of the personal data collected, and how to control their installation.

The Data Controller for processing activities carried out through the Website is Vivai Capitanio Stefano Società Agricola di Capitanio Leonardo & C. S.a.s. (the “Data Controller”), represented by its legal representative pro tempore, with registered office at Contrada Conghia No. 298 – 70043 Monopoli (Bari), VAT No. 06769790723, telephone 080801720, email info@vivaicapitanio.it, certified email (PEC): vivaisas@legalmail.it.

Cookies Used by This Website

Cookies are small text strings that the websites visited by the user send to the browser of the user’s device (PC, notebook, smartphone, tablet, etc.), where they are stored and subsequently transmitted back to the same websites when the same user visits them again.

The Data Controller informs users that this Website uses, also in combination with one another and in compliance with applicable legislation, the types of cookies described below, classified on the basis of the measures and guidance issued by the competent authorities, including the Italian Data Protection Authority (the “Garante”) and the European Data Protection Board (EDPB).

Technical Cookies

These are cookies that are essential to enable the transmission of a communication over an electronic communications network and the use of services requested by the user, for which such cookies allow the user to be identified within the session. Without these cookies, browsing the Website and certain operations requested by the user could not be performed or would be less secure. Technical cookies are considered strictly necessary because storing information is essential to provide a service requested by the user. Therefore, technical cookies cannot be disabled and prior user consent is not required for their installation (pursuant to Article 122 of the Privacy Code).

In light of the purposes for which technical cookies are used, their storage on the user’s device does not require the user’s prior consent.

Analytics and Third-Party Cookies

Analytics cookies, which may be first-party or third-party cookies, are installed to collect information about the use of the website. In particular, they are useful for statistically analysing access to or visits to the website and for enabling the Data Controller to improve its structure, navigation logic and content. The information collected (including the masked IP address) is used for statistical analysis in order to improve use of the website and, where appropriate, make the content more interesting and relevant to users’ preferences. Analytics cookies are not necessary for the functioning of the website; however, since the IP address is not processed in clear text, the installation of such cookies does not require user consent.

These cookies are used to produce statistics in aggregated and strictly anonymous form for internal research purposes concerning the number of users and how they visit the Website.

In accordance with applicable legislation, installation of this type of cookie does not require the user’s prior consent.

Profiling Cookies

Profiling cookies, which may be first-party or third-party cookies, are used to track the user’s browsing activity, analyse behaviour for marketing purposes and create profiles relating to preferences, habits, choices, etc. This makes it possible, for example, to deliver targeted advertising messages based on the user’s interests and in line with the preferences expressed through their online browsing. Social cookies are also included in this category. These cookies may only be installed on the user’s device if the user has given consent.

Article 122 of the Privacy Code refers to such cookies, providing that the storage of information in the terminal equipment of a subscriber or user, or access to information already stored, is permitted only on condition that the subscriber or user has given consent after having been informed through the simplified procedures referred to in Article 13(3) (Article 122(1) of the Code).

While browsing https://www.vivaicapitanio.it/, the User may also receive cookies from websites or web servers other than the Website (so-called “third-party” cookies). This occurs because the Website may contain elements such as images, maps, sounds or specific links to web pages belonging to other domains hosted on servers other than the one hosting the requested page. In other words, these cookies are set directly by operators of websites or servers other than the Website.

Such third parties could, in theory, set cookies while you visit the Website and thereby obtain information relating to the fact that you have visited https://www.vivaicapitanio.it/. Further information on the use of cookies is available through the relevant link. If the User decides not to grant permission for the use of third-party cookies, only the functions of the Website that do not require such cookies may be used.

These persons include the Data Controller’s employees, interns, consultants and employees of external companies appointed as processors.

Transfer of Data to Third Countries

The Data Controller informs users that personal data may also be transferred to countries outside the European Economic Area (so-called “Third Countries”) only where such countries have been recognised by the European Commission as providing an adequate level of personal data protection and, in any event, in full compliance with applicable legislation and while ensuring the exercise of data subjects’ rights.

Rights of Data Subjects

Regulation (EU) 2016/679 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 April 2016 (the “GDPR”) grants data subjects specific rights, including the right to know what personal data are held by the Data Controller and how they are used (right of access), to obtain their updating, rectification or, where appropriate, completion, as well as erasure, anonymisation or restriction.

Users may withdraw, at any time, any consent given for the storage of cookies on their device and for any related processing of personal data resulting from the use of cookies, under the terms described above.

The Data Controller points out that withdrawal of consent will take effect only for processing carried out after the withdrawal.

Data Retention Period and Right to Erasure (i.e. Right to Be Forgotten)

The Data Controller will process the information collected through cookies only for as long as strictly necessary to pursue the predetermined purposes; the retention period of each cookie used on this Website is indicated in the Cookie List section.

At the end of the relevant retention period, the information collected will be deleted or retained in a form that does not permit identification of the user (e.g. irreversible anonymisation), unless further processing is necessary for one or more of the following purposes: (i) the resolution of pre-litigation matters and/or litigation initiated before the expiry of the retention period; (ii) to respond to investigations/inspections by internal control functions and/or external authorities initiated before the expiry of the retention period; (iii) to respond to requests from Italian and/or foreign public authorities received/notified to the Data Controller before the expiry of the retention period.

How to Exercise Your Rights

To exercise these rights, submit reports or request clarification regarding the processing of your personal data, you may complete and submit the relevant form: “Model for exercising rights concerning the protection of personal data”.

The response period is one (1) month, which may be extended by two (2) months in cases of particular complexity; in such cases, the Data Controller will provide at least an interim communication within one (1) month.
