Emilceramica will process personal data concerning you, contributed by you directly or collected during browsing of the www.emilgermany.de/en website (the “Site”), for the following purposes.

As users browse this Site, the IT systems and software procedures which operate it acquire some personal data the transmission of which is implicit in the use of Internet communications protocols, such as the IP addresses or domain names of the PCs and terminals used by users, as well as the URI/URL (Uniform Resource Identifiers/Locators) of the requested resources, the time of the request, the size of the file obtained in response, the numerical code specifying the state of the response provided by the server (positive outcome, error, etc..) and other parameters concerning the operating system and the IT environment of the user, in order to: 

1. enable you to access and use the Site
2. obtain statistical information concerning the use of the services 
3. check that the services offered are operating correctly

The legal basis for the processing of your data for the purposes referred to in points 1, 2 and 3 is the fulfilment of your request, pursuant to Article 6, first comma, subsection b) of the GDPR; if you were to refuse to contribute these data, you would be unable to use the Site. 
Browsing data are stored for the times specified in the cookie policy available on the site.

The “Contact us” section of the Website, contain a specific form via which you may voluntarily contribute some of your ordinary personal data in order to request the information you require. If you decide to make use of this service, the Data Controller will process your personal data only in order to respond to your request for information. 
The legal basis for the processing of your data for this purpose is the fulfilment of your request, pursuant to article 6, first comma, subsection b) of the GDPR.
The contribution of your personal data for the above purpose is optional. However, if you decide not to contribute your personal data, you will be unable to obtain the information you need.  
For this purpose, the personal data contributed through the website will be stored for the time necessary for the fulfilment of the request.

Further to submission of requests for information in the Contacts sector for information purposes (point 2.2), or on the site pages containing a form for requesting specific information, the Data Controller assumes that you are potentially interested in being informed about Emilceramica’s activities, initiatives and products.
Therefore, given these circumstances, the Data Controller intends to use your personal data (name, surname and email address) to send you marketing communications referring to Emilceramica’s initiatives and products, and invitations to events it has organised. These communications may be sent by traditional means (such as telephone calls) and/or by automated means (such as email, telefax, prerecorded telephone calls, SMS, MMS, instant messaging, etc.).

However, on receipt of any email, you may easily object to the sending of further communications by Emilceramica, using the "Unsubscribe" link  in all e-marketing communications, or by contacting the Data Controller at the addresses provided in point 1 above.
Your personal data will be processed for this marketing purpose until you decide to withdraw your consent or to object to the processing, by contacting the Data Controller using the contacts provided in point 1 of this Privacy Policy Statement.
Participation in marketing initiatives is optional and your refusal will have no consequences with regard to the other purposes for which data are processed, as referred to in this Privacy Policy Statement, but it will prevent Emilceramica from keeping you up to date with any further initiatives or events and about its projects and/or products.

Cookies are small strings of text that the sites the user visits send to his terminal (normally the browser), where they are stored to be retransmitted to the same sites the next time the same user visits them. When the user is browsing the Website, his terminal may also receive cookies sent by other sites or web servers (“third parties”), which may carry materials (such as images, maps, sounds, specific links to pages in other domains, etc.) present on the Website he is visiting. 
Cookies are used for a variety of purposes: IT authentication; session monitoring; the storage of data on specific configurations relating to users who access the server; storage of preferences, etc. 
In order to regulate these devices correctly, it is necessary to distinguish between the various types of cookies.

It is possible to distinguish between various types of cookies on the basis: (A.) of the party which installs the cookies; (B.) of the duration of the processing; (C.) of the purpose of the processing.

A. Depending on the party which installs the cookies on the user’s terminal, a distinction is made between: (a) “first-party cookies", installed directly by the manager of the website visited by the user; and (b) “third-party cookies” installed by the manager of another website, which installs the cookies via the first. This Website only uses temporary or permanent third-party cookies in anonymous formats, for the sole purpose of enabling the Data Controller to utilise web analytics services supplied by third parties.

B. On the basis of the duration of the processing, there is a distinction between: (a) “session cookies”, which are stored temporarily during the browsing session and automatically erased from the user’s terminal after the browser is shut down; and (b) “persistent cookies”, which persist on the user’s terminal until a set expiry date (for example, until the end of the year) or until they are erased.

C. With regard to the type of processing, the distinctions between: (a) “technical cookies”, used for the sole purpose of enabling the user to browse and utilise the website correctly (e.g. normal display or scrolling of pages, etc.); and (b) “profiling cookies", which create profiles relating to the user, and are used to send targeted advertising messages in line with the preferences shown by the user when browsing the Internet. Unlike technical cookies, profiling cookies are not necessary for the correct operation of the Website and they may not be used without the user’s consent. 

The table below summarises the different types of technical cookies

The tables below list the cookies present on the website, indicating their duration and function; for cookie disabling procedures, see point 6 of this document.
Session cookies: these are cookies only active for the session in question, and allow temporary storage of the information needed to navigate between pages, so that these data do not have to be entered again every time. The use of these cookies is restricted solely to the transmission of session identifiers (consisting of random numbers generated by the server), necessary to allow safe, efficient navigation of the Website. The session cookies used on this Website mean it is not necessary to use other data processing techniques which potentially compromise the navigation privacy levels for users and they do not allow the acquisition of personal data which can identify the user. These cookies are only installed via the Website. 

Functional cookies: these are cookies used to save personalisations chosen by the user, such as the language. This Website uses cookies which are not persistently stored on the user’s computer, the use of which is strictly limited to the correct operation of the technology concerned, which would otherwise cease to function. These cookies do not record any type of information which may allow identification of the individual user. These cookies are only installed via the Website. The user’s consent is not necessary for the use of cookies of this type.

Profiling cookies: these are cookies which identify the user’s preferences by tracking the websites visited and searches performed, in order to create a profile of the user and send him targeted advertising, which may also be third-party. 
The company uses these cookies in order to study the market, also in aggregate form, and to offer users a service which ensures that the advertising presented for their attention corresponds more closely to their own needs and preferences.

However, your prior consent is necessary for the processing of your personal data by means of:
(i) profiling cookies; and 
(ii) third-party analytical cookies, when the use of these cookies is not conditional on the adoption of tools to reduce the identifying capacity of the cookies used, or the third party has not given a contractual undertaking to use these cookies solely for the provision of services, and to store them separately, without “enriching” them or “cross-matching” them with other data concerning the user at its disposal.

The contribution of your personal data for processing by the cookies on the Website is optional and you are free to choose, in your browser, to either accept or disable cookies. 

Each user can choose to disable navigation cookies, analytical cookies, functional cookies or profiling cookies by modifying his browser settings.

Finally, if profiling cookies are disabled users will be able to browse the Website freely, but it will not be possible to examine their habits and/or preferences, and therefore they will not receive messages or images about products or services which might be of interest to them.
