COOKIE POLICY
As is the case on all platforms, Jewel Box & Co. S.r.l. registers IP addresses and uses cookies and similar technologies that allow for recognition and provide us with information regarding how users access our Platform. Thanks to this information, we can personalize and improve the experience on our platform.
Below are more details on how we use cookies and similar technologies.
What are Cookies?
Cookies are small text fragments, typically consisting of letters and/or numbers, that are sent by the website visited and stored by the software (such as a web browser) installed on the device used by the user for browsing. Cookies are then retransmitted to the website upon the user's next visit.
Cookies allow for the storage of information regarding the visits made by a user to a website and represent a very useful technology because, for example, they enable the functioning of websites, making them more efficient, and provide useful information to the site managers. Without cookies or other similar technologies, websites would have no way to "remember" information about visitors, such as how many items the user has added to their shopping cart or whether they have logged in.
Cookies can be classified based on:
– duration: session cookies or persistent cookies;
– origin: first-party cookies or third-party cookies;
– purpose: technical cookies, analytical cookies, or profiling cookies.
Session cookies are those that expire at the end of a browser session (usually when a user closes their browser) and are useful, for example, for storing a user's purchase order or for security purposes, such as when accessing internet banking or webmail accounts. Persistent cookies, on the other hand, are stored for a longer period (between sessions) and are useful for remembering user preferences or for providing targeted advertising.
The definition of first-party or third-party refers to the website or domain that installs the cookie. First-party cookies are installed directly by the website the user is visiting, while third-party cookies are installed by a different domain than the one the user is visiting, for example, when a website incorporates elements from other sites, such as images, social media plugins, or advertisements.
It is important to specify that the purposes typically served by a cookie can also be achieved through other similar technologies, including the use of specific features that allow for device identification in order to analyze visits to a website. This information applies to any technology that stores or accesses information on the user's device. This category may include, for example, HTML5 local storage, Local Shared Objects (also known as flash cookies), and fingerprinting techniques. In particular, device fingerprinting is a technique that involves combining a set of information to uniquely identify a specific device.
Examples of the information that device fingerprinting can detect, associate, or infer include:
– data derived from the configuration of a device;
– data deduced from the use of specific network protocols;
– JavaScript;
– information from HTTP headers, information about the clock;
– installed fonts;
– installed plugins in the browser.
It is also possible to combine these elements with additional information, such as IP addresses or unique identifiers, etc
From now on, when cookies are mentioned, this definition will also include other similar technologies.
What are the purposes of the cookies used by this site?
Based on their purpose, the cookies installed on this site can be distinguished into technical cookies, analytical cookies, and profiling cookies.
Technical cookies are necessary for the functioning of the website because they enable functions that facilitate user navigation. For example, they allow users to access their profiles without having to log in every time or to select the language they wish to use to navigate the site without having to set it each time.
Technical cookies are considered strictly necessary, as the storage of information is essential for providing a service requested by the user. Therefore, technical cookies cannot be disabled, and their installation does not require prior consent from users (pursuant to Article 122 of the Privacy Code).
Analytical cookies, which can be first-party or third-party, are installed to collect information about the use of the website. In particular, they are useful for statistically analyzing accesses or visits to the site itself and for enabling the Owner to improve its structure, navigation logic, and content. The collected information (including the masked IP address) is used to perform statistical analyses aimed at improving the use of the site and possibly making the content more interesting and relevant to user preferences.
Analytical cookies are not necessary for the functioning of the website; however, since the IP address is not disclosed, the installation of such cookies does not require the user's consent.
Profiling cookies, which can be first-party or third-party, are used to track the user's navigation, analyze their behavior for marketing purposes, and create profiles regarding their tastes, habits, choices, etc. This allows for targeted advertising messages to be transmitted in relation to the user's interests and in line with the preferences they have expressed during online navigation. Social cookies also fall into this category.
Such cookies can only be installed on the user's terminal if they have expressed their consent.
How to manage cookie preferences?
At the moment of the first access to any page of the Site, a banner is present that contains a brief notice and the panel for managing cookie preferences/a button through which it is possible to accept all cookies. The user has the option to select/deselect individual categories of cookies. Consent to the use of cookies is recorded with a specific "technical cookie."

Users can also express their cookie preferences through the settings of the browser used. By default, almost all web browsers are set to automatically accept cookies, but users can change the default configuration through the settings of the browser used, which allow for deleting/removing all or some cookies or blocking the sending of cookies or limiting it to certain sites.
Disabling/blocking cookies or deleting them may compromise the optimal enjoyment of certain areas of the site or prevent some functionalities, as well as affect the operation of third-party services.
