COOKIE POLICY

What are cookies?

Cookies are files that can be downloaded to your device through websites. They are tools that play an essential role in providing many information-society services. Among other things, they allow a website to store and retrieve information about a user's or their device's browsing habits and, depending on the information obtained, can be used to recognise the user and improve the service offered.

Types of cookies

Depending on who manages the domain from which the cookies are sent and processes the data obtained, two types can be distinguished:

First-party cookies: those sent to the user's terminal device from a computer or

domain managed by the publisher itself, from which the service requested by the user is provided.

Third-party cookies: those sent to the user's terminal device from a computer or

domain not managed by the publisher, but by another entity that processes the data obtained through the cookies.

If the cookies are installed from a computer or domain managed by the publisher itself, but the information collected through them is managed by a third party, they cannot be considered first-party cookies.

There is also a second classification based on how long they remain stored in the client's browser, which can be:

Session cookies: designed to collect and store data while the user accesses

a website. They are usually used to store information that is only relevant for providing the service requested by the user on a single occasion (e.g. a list of products purchased).

Persistent cookies: the data remains stored on the device and can be accessed and

processed for a period defined by the party responsible for the cookie, which can range from a few minutes to several years.

Finally, there is another classification with five types of cookies according to the purpose for which the data obtained is processed:

Technical cookies: those that allow the user to browse a

website, platform or application and use the various options or services available on it, such as controlling traffic and data communication, identifying the session, accessing restricted areas, remembering the items in an order, completing an order's purchase process, submitting a registration or event-participation request, using security elements while browsing, storing content for video or audio streaming, or sharing content through social networks.

Personalisation cookies: allow the user to access the service with certain

general characteristics predefined based on a series of criteria on the user's device, such as language, browser type, regional settings, etc.

Analytics cookies: allow the party responsible for them to track and analyse

the behaviour of users of the websites to which they are linked. The information collected through this type of cookie is used to measure the activity of websites, applications or platforms and to build browsing profiles of the users of such sites, applications and platforms, in order to make improvements based on the analysis of usage data.

Advertising cookies: allow the most efficient possible management of

advertising space.

Behavioural advertising cookies: store information about users' behaviour obtained through ongoing observation of their browsing habits, which makes it possible to develop a specific profile to display advertising based on it.

External social-network cookies: used so that visitors can interact with

content on different social platforms (Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, LinkedIn, etc.) and are generated only for users of those social networks. The terms of use of these cookies and the information collected are governed by the relevant social platform's privacy policy.

Disabling and deleting cookies

You have the option to allow, block or delete cookies installed on your device through your browser settings. Disabling cookies may cause some available services to stop working. The method for disabling cookies is different for each browser, but it can usually be done from the Tools or Options menu. You can also check the browser's Help menu, where you can find instructions. Users can choose at any time which cookies they want to be active on this website.

Which cookies does this website use?

WWW.MATERIASALINA.COM currently uses two types of cookies:

Necessary technical cookies: these are essential for the website to work properly, for example to remember the choice you make on the cookie notice. They do not require your consent, since they do not collect data for analytics or advertising purposes.

Analytics cookies: we use Google Analytics 4, a web analytics service provided by Google Ireland Limited, with measurement ID G-YZ1TF0RF79, to understand how users browse the site (pages visited, traffic source, session length, etc.) and improve the service. These are third-party cookies and include, among others, _ga and _ga_YZ1TF0RF79, which last approximately 2 years.

Your consent

The first time you visit the website, you are shown a cookie notice with the options "Accept" and "Reject". Until you give your explicit consent by clicking "Accept", analytics cookies remain blocked: no Google Analytics cookie is set and no data is sent to Google. This website uses Google's Consent Mode (Consent Mode v2), which always respects the choice you make.

If you click "Reject", or close the notice without choosing an option, analytics cookies stay disabled and only the necessary technical cookies are used.

How to withdraw or change your consent

You can change your decision at any time by clicking the "Cookie preferences" button, available in the footer of every page on the website, which reopens the notice so you can choose again between "Accept" and "Reject".

You can also delete cookies already installed, or prevent their installation, through your browser's own settings (see the "Disabling and deleting cookies" section above).

Your decision is kept for 6 months. After that period, we will show you the cookie notice again on your next visit so you can decide once more.

Legal basis

The legal basis for installing analytics cookies is your consent (GDPR, art. 6.1.a), which you can give or withdraw at any time without affecting the lawfulness of processing carried out before its withdrawal.

Entity using the cookies

Google Analytics 4 (Google Ireland Limited) — third-party analytics cookies.

Purpose: measuring website audience for statistical purposes.

Cookies set: _ga, _ga_YZ1TF0RF79. Approximate duration: 2 years.
