COOKIES AND OTHER TECHNOLOGIES

A cookie is a small file sent by a website and stored on the user's browser while they use an Internet site. Cookies can be stored only for the time you use a particular site (cookies session) or for a longer period of time and independent from the session (persistent cookies). Cookies work in conjunction with the website content and normally have the function of improving the usability and browsing experience on the web (technical cookies). Some types of cookies also allow you to know the contents displayed, the choices selected and any use of the site by the user. This functionality also allows us to offer the most useful and relevant advertising to every single user (profiling cookies). A website can use self-developed cookies (first-party cookies) or cookies developed by third-party companies (third-party cookies)

We treat information collected by cookies and other technologies as non-Personal Data. However, to the extent that Internet Protocol (IP) addresses or similar identifiers are considered Personal Data by local law, we also treat these identifiers as Personal Data.

In addition to allowing an easy use of the Sites, Eataly uses cookies for various purposes, including: (i) identifying the user when logging in; (ii) store the products saved in the cart for purchase; (iii) avoid fraudulent use of accounts or payments; (iv) perform user profiling and then provide information on the products of interest to you, or other personalised contents or offers; (v) provide promotions, content, advertising, related to the user and his preferences and to remember these preferences; (vi) carry out market research; (vii) improve the Sites, the offer of Eataly products, and their marketing, etc.
In particular, Eataly uses:

a) TECHNICAL COOKIES: These are cookies necessary for browsing as they allow correct use of the Site and its full functionality. They include cookies which enable the creation of a personalized account, logging in, displaying content in the chosen language at every access, recognizing the user is connecting from (and remembering this setting for future access) and order management. These cookies are strictly necessary for Site operation and their deactivation might impair browsing experience and outcome. In particular, we use technical cookies for the following purposes:

- for the management of dynamic web pages, for the geographical identification of users, and for the management of last access data;

- to guarantee the correct functioning of the web pages;

- for the functioning of the forms (e.g. course registration form);

- for the management of data relating to the amounts and products of the orders

b) ANALYTICAL COOKIES: used to collect information on the number of users and how they visit the site. For example:

Google Analytics: the site uses the Google Analytics tool to collect information, in aggregate form, on the number of users and how they visit the site. This tool uses third-party technical cookies for its operation. Information on the processing of privacy by Google is available at the following link: http://www.google.com/analytics/learn/privacy.html. Information on the cookies used by Google Analytics, collection and use of this data are available at the following link: https://developers.google.com/analytics/devguides/collection/analyticsjs/cookie-usage#gajs. The following link also contains information to deny consent to the use of third-party cookies by Google Analytics: http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout

c) THIRD PARTY PROFILING COOKIES FOR MARKETING/RETARGETING: these are cookies of third-party companies that allow the collection of information on the user for subsequent communication of more specific and/or personalized promotional material. They include cookies for inserting banner advertisements on the Site relating to third party companies or products chosen or viewed by the user, or similar or like products. These cookies can be deactivated without preventing proper navigation on the Sites, however their deactivation involves the receipt of promotional messages that may not be relevant to the user. For more information on profiling cookies currently installed in the user's terminal, review the third-party privacy information and change the preferences expressed, users can consult the page http://www.youronlinechoices.com/it.

Disabling cookies. The user can always decide to block, delete, disable cookies or other similar technologies through the settings of their browser or device. There are many different browsers: each different browser (and in some cases even each different version of the same browser) has its own procedure for deleting cookies. Cookie preferences must be set separately for each browser used, as the features and options offered may vary. It is therefore advisable to visit the support pages of your browser for more information. Furthermore, the user can modify the settings related to Eataly cookies, including their activation and deactivation, by accessing the dedicated section in the Sites' footer, under "Cookie Settings". Their complete deactivation may preclude many features, or the proper browsing or viewing of the Site or other web pages.

Acceptance and waiver of cookies. At the time of the user's first access to the Sites and, in any case, until a choice is expressed, the user will be asked to provide his consent to the use of third-party analytical cookies and profiling cookies. In particular, consent can be provided by continuing with navigation.

Furthermore, the personal data of the users can be communicated between the Eataly Group companies. For example, if the user purchases a course or service on the sites of Eataly Group, their data will be processed by the company relevant to the request.

You can always choose not to provide any information, but then You might not be able to order Eataly’s products and utilize certain of our Services. For example, if you sign up for a class, send a gift certificate or order delicious products, you will also be required to provide a billing address and credit card or other payment information which will be collected, used, processed and retained so that we can process your order, remind you of the class, check you in at the class, obtain follow-up information and/or feedback from you, and for other accounting and legal purposes.
