Cookie Policy

With this notice, pursuant to Regulation (EU) 2016/679 of April 27, 2016 (GDPR) and following the simplified procedures for the information notice and the acquisition of consent for the use of cookies, published in the Official Gazette No. 126 of June 3, 2014 and provided for by the general provision of the Privacy Guarantor of May 8, 2014, the website www.sofihome.it (hereinafter referred to as "the site") provides visitors with information on what cookies are and how they are used. In order to make its services as efficient and simple to use as possible, this site uses cookies. Therefore, when you visit the site, a minimal amount of information is placed on the user's device, such as small text files called "cookies," which are saved in the user's web browser directory. There are various types of cookies, but basically the main purpose of a cookie is to make the site work more efficiently and to enable certain functionalities.

What are cookies

A "cookie" is a text file that is downloaded by the computer (or any other device used for browsing) to store information related to browsing a particular site. Cookies are downloaded by the web server hosting the site and downloaded by browsers (Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome, etc.) used by the end user; these files then reside on the user's device and are used/read during subsequent visits to the site to improve browsing (technical cookies) and/or to create marketing tailored to the visitor's choices (profiling cookies). During navigation, it may happen that cookies not originating from the site are also downloaded, but set by different sites (third-party cookies) related to services installed on the site; the purposes and methods of use of these are provided directly by the different operators. Whatever type of cookie is used, it must be made clear to the end user browsing the site; consent, on the other hand, may not be mandatory for technical cookies, but must be formally requested for the use of profiling and/or third-party cookies (except for anonymous statistical data).

Cookie functionalities:

• allow efficient navigation from one page to another on the website.

• store the username and preferences entered.

• allow you to avoid entering the same information (such as username and password) multiple times during the visit.

• measure the use of services by users, to optimize the browsing experience and the services themselves.

• present targeted advertising information based on the interests and behavior shown by the user during navigation. There are various types of cookies. Below are the types of cookies that may be used on the site with a description of the purpose related to their use.

Technical cookies

Cookies of this type are necessary for the proper functioning of certain areas of the site. They are of two categories: persistent and session:

• persistent: once the browser is closed they are not destroyed but remain until a preset expiration date

• session: they are destroyed every time the browser is closed

In the absence of these cookies, the site or some parts of it may not function properly. Therefore, they are always used, regardless of user preferences. Cookies in this category are always sent from our domain.

Analytical cookies

Cookies of this type are used to collect information about the use of the site. The Data Controller uses such information for statistical analysis, to improve the site and simplify its use, as well as to monitor its proper functioning. This type of cookie collects information anonymously about users' activity on the site and how they arrived at the site and the pages visited. Cookies in this category are sent by the site itself or by third-party domains.

Third-party tracking cookies

Cookies of this type are used to collect information about how visitors use the website, the keywords used to reach the site, and the websites visited. The owner may use such information to compile reports and improve the site. Cookies collect information anonymously. Cookies of this type are sent by the site itself or by third-party domains.

Cookies for integrating third-party functionalities

Cookies of this type are used to integrate third-party functionalities into the site (for example, comment forms or social network icons that allow visitors to share the site's content). Cookies in this category may be sent by partner site domains or those that otherwise offer the functionalities present on the site. The Data Controller is not required to request the user's consent for technical cookies, as these are strictly necessary for the provision of the service. For other types of cookies, consent may be expressed by the user, in accordance with current regulations, through specific configurations of the browser and computer programs or devices that are easy and clear for the user to use. The Data Controller reminds the user that it is possible to change cookie preferences at any time. It is also possible to disable cookies at any time from the browser, but this operation may prevent the user from using certain parts of the site.

Third-party websites

The site contains links to other websites that have their own privacy policy. These privacy policies may differ from the one adopted by the Data Controller, who therefore is not responsible for third-party sites. Pursuant to art. 122, second paragraph of Legislative Decree 196/2003, consent to the use of such cookies is expressed by the data subject through the individual setting freely chosen for the browser used to navigate the site, without prejudice to the user's right to communicate at any time to the Data Controller their will regarding data managed through cookies that the browser itself has accepted.
