INFORMATION ABOUT OUR USE OF COOKIES

We use cookies to improve performance and your user experience on our website.

What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files that a website places on your computer or mobile device when you visit it, via your internet browser. Placing cookies will help the website recognise your device on your next visit. We use the term cookies in this policy to refer to all files that collect information in this way.

The cookies used do not collect information that identifies the user. However, if you are already our customer, we may monitor your visits to the website provided that you have at least once started browsing from a communication sent by us, for example, SMS and email.

Cookies also collect generic information, such as how users arrive at and use the websites or the area of the country/countries through which they access the website, etc.

Cookies only retain information related to your preferences. At any time, the user can, through their internet browser, decide to be notified about the receipt of cookies, as well as block their entry into their system.

Refusal to use cookies on the website may result in the inability to access some of its areas or to receive personalised information.

What are cookies used for?

Cookies are used to help determine the usefulness, interest and number of uses of websites, allowing for faster and more efficient navigation and eliminating the need to repeatedly enter the same information.

We use the following cookies:

• Strictly necessary cookies. These are cookies that are required for the operation of our website. They include, for example, cookies that enable you to log into secure areas of our website and use a shopping cart.
   
• Analytical/performance cookies. They allow us to recognise and count the number of visitors and to see how visitors move around our website when they are using it. This helps us to improve the way our website works, for example, by ensuring that users are finding what they are looking for easily.
   
• Functionality cookies. These are used to recognise you when you return to our website. This enables us to personalise our content for you and remember your preferences (for example, your choice of language or region).

• Third-party cookies - These are used to measure the success of applications and the effectiveness of third-party advertising on our website.

• Advertising cookies - These are used to target advertising based on each user's interests and the number of visits they have made, allowing us to limit the number of times an ad is displayed. These cookies help measure the effectiveness of advertising. 

Why do we use cookies?

Bastoni uses cookies to provide the best user experience, making our applications easier and more personalised, based on your choices and browsing behaviour.
In this way, we seek to understand how you use our applications and adjust the content to make it more relevant to you, as well as remembering your preferences.
Cookies participate in this process by storing, reading and executing the data necessary to fulfil our objective.

The cookies used can be:

Permanent cookies - These are stored at the internet browser level on your access devices (PC, mobile and tablet) and are used whenever the user visits the website again. They are generally used to direct navigation according to the user's interests, allowing us to provide a more personalised service.

Session cookies - These are temporary and remain in your internet browser cookies until you leave the website. The information obtained allows us to identify problems and provide a better browsing experience.

Cookie Management

The installation of cookies is subject to your consent. Although most browsers are initially set to accept cookies automatically, you can review your permissions at any time to block them, accept them, or enable notifications when certain cookies are sent to your device. 

Currently, the first time you access our applications, you will be asked to agree to their installation. Only after your acceptance will they be activated.
To this end, we use a system (information banner or other mechanism that alerts and requests consent) on the Bastoni home page. In this way, we not only request your consent, but also inform you that continued browsing on our websites will be understood as consent. 

As already mentioned, you can change permissions, block or refuse cookies at any time and at no cost. You can also configure them on a case-by-case basis. However, revoking consent for certain cookies may prevent some features of the platform from functioning properly.

To manage your browser's cookies, simply do so directly in your browser settings, in the Cookies management area.
