In accordance with the Data Protection Regulations legislation, the Personal Data Protection Authority’s provision “Guidelines on cookies and other tracking tools” dated June 10, 2021 (published in the Official Gazette No. 163 of July 9, 2021), as well as the provisions of the other relevant measures on the subject, Gummy Industries S.r.l. with registered office in Viale Venezia 20, 25123 – Brescia (BS), Data Controller (hereinafter also ‘Data Controller’) Informs you about the types of cookies and other tracking tools used by this website and the purposes served by the information acquired through them, also providing directions on how to proceed with the selection/de-selection of individual cookies.

Gummy Industries S.r.l., as Data Controller, protects your personal data by ensuring confidentiality and compliance with applicable regulations and by guaranteeing the necessary level of protection against any incident that may put them at risk of violation.

The purpose of this Cookie Policy (hereinafter also “Policy”) is to describe how cookies used by this site are handled.

What cookies are and what they can be used for

A “cookie” is a text file created by a Web site on a user’s computer when the user accesses that site to store and transfer information. 

Cookies are sent from a web server to the user’s browser (Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome, etc.) and stored on the user’s computer; they are then sent back to the site on subsequent visits. 

Many of the actions you normally perform on a Web site would not be possible without cookies, which are technically necessary in such cases. This type of cookie is called a technical or functional cookie. Such cookies are used, for example, for electronic identification, session tracking, and to store information about users’ activities while accessing a website. When accessing this website, the user may also receive cookies from websites or web servers that are not related to the visited website, so-called “third-party cookies”.  

In other cases, the website uses cookies to make navigation easier and more convenient for users or to enable users to take advantage of specifically requested services. 

There are different types of cookies, depending on their characteristics and functions. Such cookies may remain on your computer or mobile device, for different periods: 

• “Session cookies” are automatically deleted when you close your browser;
• “Persistent cookies” will or may remain on your device until their predetermined “expiration” time. 

Cookies can therefore remain on your system for a long time and may also contain a unique identification code. This allows the sites that use them to track your browsing within the site, either for statistical or advertising purposes or to create a personalized profile of you based on the pages you visit and to display and/or send you targeted advertising (so-called behavioral advertising or behavioral advertising). 

Under current privacy regulations, your consent is not always required for cookies’ use. 

For example, “technical cookies“, i.e., cookies that are essential to the operation of this site or necessary to perform the activities you have requested, may be used without your consent. 

On the other hand, “profiling cookies“, i.e., cookies that are used to create user profiles and to send messages in accordance with the preferences expressed by users as they browse the Internet, require explicit consent.

This website uses the following cookies:

• Technical cookies: include both session cookies and navigation cookies that are strictly necessary for the operation of the website and/or allow you to use the content and services of the website;
• Functional cookies, which are used to enable certain website features and to configure the website according to your choices (such as the language you select) to enhance your browsing experience; 
• Analytical cookies: allow us to understand how users use the website and to monitor inbound and outbound traffic;
• Profiling cookies: these cookies are used to track your preferences as revealed by your use of this site and, consequently, to send you promotional material in accordance with those preferences. 

This website also uses third-party cookies: these cookies, which are sent by websites/web servers other than this website, are used for the specific purposes of the third-party owners of the websites/web servers (including profiling purposes). Examples include cookies issued by social networks through so-called social buttons that allow you to interact with social networks such as Facebook or Twitter (see the “Social buttons” section of this document). 

Such third parties are considered autonomous controllers concerning their own cookies; Gummy Industries cannot control or verify the use of such cookies by third parties, nor can it determine the specific characteristics or purposes of such cookies. For information about how these third parties process your data, please refer to the relevant notices and privacy policies or other materials posted by these third parties.

Social buttons

There are buttons on this website called “social widgets/buttons” that display the icons of some social networks.

These widgets allow users browsing this site to access the relevant social networks with one click. In this case, the social network and web services collect data about the user, while Gummy Industries does not share any of the user’s browsing information or personal data collected through its website with the social networks and web services accessible through these tools. 

These buttons are disabled by default, which means they will not send data to social networks without your permission. 

To activate the buttons, simply select them. Once activated, a direct connection to the social network’s server is established.  The content associated with the button is sent directly from the social network to your browser, which links it to the web page. 

To know the purpose and scope of the collection and processing/use of personal data carried out by social networks and third-party sites in which Gummy Industries is not involved, you can access the disclosures and privacy policies made available on the social network portals.

Below you will find links to the privacy policies of the social network to which the buttons on this site link:
