2. What are cookies

Cookies are small text files or other similar technologies that can be stored on or read from the device used to visit a website.

For example, they allow us to ensure the website functions correctly, maintain the contents of the shopping cart, remember certain preferences, understand how the website is used, and, where consent is obtained when required, personalize content and advertising.

Throughout this policy, the term “cookie” is also used to refer to similar storage or tracking technologies.

3. Shopify Platform

Our website and online store use Shopify as a technology platform.

Shopify uses cookies and similar technologies necessary to provide and protect the store, manage functions such as the shopping cart, checkout, customer accounts, and payments, and, where permitted, provide analytics, personalization, and marketing services.

Shopify’s use of data is also governed by its own privacy notices.

4. Categories of cookies used

Depending on the features used and the preferences expressed by the visitor, the website may use the following categories of cookies and similar technologies.

Strictly necessary cookies

These are necessary for the website and store to function and cannot normally be disabled through the consent management system.

For example, they may be used to:

ensure the security and integrity of the website;
maintain the shopping cart;
manage the checkout;
authenticate customer accounts;
store privacy preferences;
prevent fraud and abuse;
allow the requested pages and services to function correctly.

These tools are used only to the extent necessary to provide the requested service.

Functionality and preference cookies

These allow us to remember certain choices or preferences made by the user and to provide a more personalized experience on the website.

For example, they may relate to preferences regarding navigation, language, market, or other website settings.

Where required by applicable law, these are only used after obtaining consent.

Analytics and measurement cookies

These allow us to understand how visitors use the website, which pages are viewed, how they navigate, and how certain features are used.

This information may be used to analyze store performance and improve services, content, and the user experience.

Where such tools are not strictly necessary, they are only used after obtaining consent in the geographic areas where consent is required.

Marketing and advertising cookies

These may be used to measure the effectiveness of promotional activities, personalize communications or ads, and understand user interests.

We and our partners, including Shopify, may only use such technologies for these purposes in accordance with the preferences expressed by the user and applicable law.

In Italy and other areas where prior consent is required, such technologies are not used for non-essential purposes until the user has given their consent.

5. Shopify Network Intelligence

The Shopify Network Intelligence feature is enabled on our store.

This feature allows Shopify to use certain information from interactions with our store together with other information processed by Shopify to provide and improve certain platform features, including personalization, analytics, and, where permitted, advertising services.

Shopify considers the preferences expressed through the cookie consent system when using such data.

If a visitor does not consent to the use of non-essential cookies and technologies, data from their device is processed according to their preferences and is not used by Shopify Network Intelligence for non-essential purposes subject to consent.

For more information, you can view Shopify’s Privacy Notice.

6. Cookie banner and consent

Where required by applicable law, a cookie management banner is displayed on the first visit.

The banner allows you to:

Accept optional cookies and technologies;
Decline unnecessary cookies and technologies;
Manage preferences by selecting the desired categories.

Declining unnecessary cookies does not prevent you from using the essential features of the website and store.

Consent can be changed or withdrawn at any time through the Cookie preferences feature available on the website.

The withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before the withdrawal.

7. Third-party cookies and external services

The website may incorporate services provided by third parties, such as payment services, external platforms, social networks, analytics tools, or other services used for the operation or promotion of the store.

These third parties may use cookies or similar technologies in accordance with their own privacy notices and applicable consent preferences.

Where an external service requires cookies or tracking tools that are not strictly necessary, their use is subject to consent where required by applicable law.

Accessing external websites or platforms through links on our website is subject to the terms and privacy notices of the relevant third party.

8. Cookie duration

The duration of cookies may vary depending on their purpose.

Some cookies are deleted when the browser is closed or the session ends, while others may remain stored on the device for a longer period.

Duration may also depend on the settings of Shopify or the third-party services used by the website.

We store and use such information only for the period necessary for the relevant purposes and in accordance with applicable law.

9. Browser management

In addition to the management tools provided by our website, you can configure your browser to block, delete, or limit the use of cookies.

However, disabling strictly necessary cookies may prevent some parts of the website, shopping cart, customer account, or checkout from functioning correctly.

Cookie management methods vary depending on the browser used.

10. Changing preferences

You can change your cookie preferences at any time using the Cookie preferences command available on our website.

This allows you to review the categories used and change your previous choices.
