Cookie Policy
Our company respects your concerns regarding the protection of personal data and values the relationship we maintain with you. This Privacy, Cookie, and Data Protection Policy (“Policy”) applies exclusively to the personal data collected through Via Icona websites, interactive features, applications, widgets, blogs, and related content accessed via computer, mobile device, technology, or any other device (collectively, “Devices”), as well as our content on Twitter, Facebook, and other social media platforms (collectively, the “Sites”).
This Policy describes the types of personal data we collect through the Sites, how such data may be used and/or with whom it may be shared. It also explains how you may contact us to update your information, access the personal data collected in connection with our marketing communications and activities, or exercise control over its use. Additionally, it outlines how to reach us with any questions regarding our privacy practices on these Sites.
By using the Sites, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and accepted the terms of this Policy. We kindly ask you to review it carefully, along with the terms and conditions governing your use of the Sites and any content you submit to them.
Cookies
Like many companies, Via Icona uses cookies and similar technologies to enhance performance and improve the user experience on its Sites.
What Are Cookies?
A cookie is a small text file placed on your Device. Cookies help analyze web traffic and enable web applications to respond to you as an individual. By gathering and remembering information about your preferences, web applications can tailor their operations to suit your needs, likes, and dislikes.
Some cookies may contain personal data; for example, selecting the “remember me” option when logging in may store your username. However, most cookies do not collect personal data that identifies you. Instead, they gather more general information, such as how users arrived at our Sites, how they navigate within them, and their approximate geographical location.
Why Do We Use Cookies?
Via Icona may place cookies or similar files on your Device for security purposes, to determine whether you have previously visited the site, to remember your language preferences as a new visitor, to facilitate navigation, or to personalize your experience on our Sites.
Cookies allow us to collect technical and navigational information—such as browser type, time spent on the Sites, and the pages visited. They also enable us to determine which of our advertisements or offers may be most relevant to you and display them while you browse our Sites.
By storing your preferences during a visit, cookies enhance your online experience. They help us identify which pages are useful to you and which are not, allowing us to provide a more efficient Site. Cookies do not grant us access to your Device or any information you have not chosen to share with us.
Types of Cookies We Use
Cookies commonly used on the Sites fall into the following categories:
- Session Cookies: These cookies are used for the duration of each Site visit (“session”) and expire when you leave the Site or shortly thereafter. They are not stored permanently on your Device, do not contain personal data, and help reduce the need to transmit personal data across the internet. Session cookies can be deleted or blocked, but doing so may diminish Site performance and limit your user experience. These cookies also record timestamps marking your entry and exit from the Site.
- Tracking Cookies: Tracking cookies allow us to recognize returning visitors. By assigning an anonymous, randomly generated identifier, they help record where a user arrived from, which search engine may have been used, which link or keyword was clicked, and the general location from which the Site was accessed. This information helps us improve the functionality and content of our Sites.
- Persistent Cookies: These cookies remain stored on your Device for a fixed period—ranging from several hours to several years—and are not deleted when the browser is closed. Persistent cookies are used when we need to remember who you are across multiple sessions. For example, they may store your preferences so they can be recalled during future visits.
- Performance and Analytics Cookies: Performance cookies are used to analyze how the Sites are used and to monitor their performance, enabling us to enhance your browsing experience. These cookies help us tailor Site content to what our users find most engaging and detect when technical issues arise. We may also use this data to create aggregated reports that show how the Sites are used, identify common problems, and improve overall functionality.
