Last updated: 11 March 2025

1. Introduction and data controller

This Cookie Policy explains how Phaltronclixarem ("we", "us", "our") uses cookies and similar technologies on the website https://phaltronclixarem.world (the "Website"). It should be read together with our Privacy Policy, which describes how we process your personal data in general.

2. What are cookies and similar technologies?

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device (computer, tablet or mobile) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, to remember your preferences, and to provide information to the site owner. Similar technologies include local storage, session storage, pixel tags and similar identifiers that can store or access information on your device.

Cookies can be "first-party" (set by us when you use our Website) or "third-party" (set by a domain other than phaltronclixarem.world, e.g. by an analytics or advertising partner). They can also be "session" cookies (deleted when you close your browser) or "persistent" cookies (remain until they expire or you delete them).

3. Legal basis and your consent

Under the GDPR and the ePrivacy Directive (as implemented in Italy), we are required to inform you about the use of cookies and, for non-essential cookies, to obtain your consent before placing or reading them on your device.

  • Strictly necessary cookies: these are essential for the Website to function (e.g. security, load balancing, remembering your cookie preferences). They do not require your consent under applicable law, but we still inform you about them.
  • Analytics and performance cookies: these help us understand how visitors use our Website (e.g. number of visits, pages viewed). We use them only with your consent.
  • Marketing and targeting cookies: these may be used to deliver relevant content or ads and to measure the effectiveness of campaigns. We use them only with your consent.

You can change your preferences at any time via the cookie banner or the "Cookie settings" option. Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal.

4. Categories of cookies we use

4.1 Strictly necessary cookies

These cookies are essential for the Website to work. They enable basic functions such as page navigation, secure areas, form submission and remembering your cookie choices. The Website cannot function properly without these cookies. They do not collect information that identifies you for marketing purposes.

Examples (illustrative):

  • Cookie consent storage: stores your cookie preferences (e.g. accepted/rejected, analytics and marketing on/off). Retention: up to 12 months.
  • Security and session: session or short-lived cookies used for security (e.g. CSRF protection) or to maintain your session. Retention: session or as required for security.

Legal basis: legitimate interest (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) and/or legal obligation where applicable. No consent required for strictly necessary cookies.

4.2 Analytics cookies

These cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our Website by collecting and reporting information in an aggregated form (e.g. number of visits, bounce rate, popular pages). This helps us improve the Website and user experience. We use analytics only if you have given your consent.

Examples (illustrative):

  • Analytics identifier: identifies your browser/device for analytics. Retention: as per our analytics provider (typically up to 24 months unless you withdraw consent earlier).

Legal basis: your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). You can withdraw consent via Cookie settings.

4.3 Marketing cookies

These cookies may be used to deliver relevant advertisements, to limit the number of times you see an ad, and to measure the effectiveness of advertising. They may be set by us or by third-party advertising partners. We use them only with your consent.

Examples (illustrative):

  • Marketing identifier: used for ad targeting or conversion measurement. Retention: as per our advertising partner (typically up to 12–24 months unless you withdraw consent).

Legal basis: your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). You can withdraw consent via Cookie settings.

5. Retention periods

We retain cookie-related data only for as long as necessary for the purpose for which it was collected:

  • Strictly necessary: session or as needed for security and preference storage (e.g. consent cookie up to 12 months).
  • Analytics: typically up to 24 months from last visit, unless you withdraw consent (then we stop collection and delete or anonymise as per our retention policy).
  • Marketing: typically up to 12–24 months unless you withdraw consent.

After the retention period, the cookie is removed or the data is anonymised so that it no longer identifies you.

6. Third-party cookies and international transfers

Where we use third-party services (e.g. analytics or advertising), those third parties may set their own cookies. Their use is subject to their respective privacy and cookie policies. We select partners that commit to appropriate data protection standards. If such partners process data outside the European Economic Area (EEA), we ensure that adequate safeguards are in place (e.g. standard contractual clauses, adequacy decisions) as required by the GDPR.

7. How to manage and delete cookies

You can control and/or delete cookies in the following ways:

  • Cookie banner and Cookie settings: when you first visit our Website, you can choose "Accept all", "Reject" (non-essential cookies only), or "Cookie settings" to enable or disable analytics and marketing cookies. Strictly necessary cookies remain active.
  • Browser settings: most browsers allow you to refuse or accept cookies, or to delete existing cookies. You can usually find these options in the "Settings", "Options" or "Preferences" menu of your browser. Blocking all cookies may affect the functionality of our Website.
  • Device settings: on mobile devices, you may be able to manage tracking via your device settings (e.g. "Limit Ad Tracking" on iOS, "Opt out of Ads Personalisation" on Android).

For more information on how to manage cookies in your browser, you can visit e.g. aboutcookies.org or your browser's help pages.

8. Your rights

Where cookie data amounts to personal data, you have the rights set out in our Privacy Policy, including the right to access, rectify, erase, restrict processing, object, data portability (where applicable), and to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority. In Italy, the supervisory authority is the Garante per la protezione dei dati personali (www.garanteprivacy.it). To exercise your rights, contact us at the details in section 1.

9. Updates to this Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, in the cookies we use, or in legal requirements. The updated version will be posted on this page with a revised "Last updated" date. We encourage you to review this policy periodically. Where required by law, we will seek your consent again for any new or changed non-essential cookies.
