Cookie Policy

Cookies are text files that are sent from a web server (i.e. the computer where the website visited is “hosted”) to the user’s browser (Internet Explorer, Firefox, Google Chrome, etc.) and stored on the device, fixed or mobile (computer, smartphone, tablet), used for the user’s navigation. The cookie allows the Site to identify the user’s device, through the information stored in it, every time the user reconnects to the Site through that device.

Through the use of cookies, we can make it easier for the user to navigate the Site, as well as analyze their preferences and tastes by checking their navigation, and consequently offer products and services that are more consistent with the interests and expectations of the user.

Cookies can be "session" cookies (when they are stored exclusively for the duration of the browsing session on the site and are deleted when the browser is closed), or "permanent" cookies (when they are stored for a longer period of time, until they expire or until they are deleted by the user). Furthermore, cookies can be installed by the site that the user is visiting (so-called first-party cookies) or they can be installed by other websites (so-called third-party cookies).

Cookies do not collect information that directly identifies the user. In fact, Otiara cannot trace any directly identifying personal information (e.g. name, surname) through cookies unless provided directly by the user.

Technical navigation or session cookies

Otiara uses technical navigation or session cookies to allow you to navigate and use the Site normally and efficiently.

These cookies do not require the acquisition of prior and express consent from the user as they are strictly necessary to provide the service requested by the user of the Site.

The criteria for masking the origin of the IP address have been adopted for the use of these cookies. These cookies do not require the acquisition of prior and express consent from the user.
