The Regulation on the Use of Cookies
The regulations concerning the use of so-called “cookies” and other similar tools on users’ devices (personal computers, laptops, tablets, smartphones, etc.) have been updated following the implementation of EU Directive 2009/136/EC, which amended the “e-Privacy” Directive 2002/58/EC. In Italy, this directive was implemented by Legislative Decree no. 69 of May 28, 2012, which amended Legislative Decree no. 196 of June 30, 2003, known as the “Personal Data Protection Code”.
In particular, Article 122 of Decree 196/03 has been replaced and now provides that:
-
Storing information, or accessing information already stored, on a user’s terminal device is only permitted if the user has given consent after being informed through simplified methods pursuant to Article 13, paragraph 3. This does not prevent technical storage or access aimed solely at enabling the transmission of a communication over an electronic communications network, or as strictly necessary to provide a service explicitly requested by the user.
-
Consent may be expressed through specific settings of computer programs or devices that are clear and easy to use for the user.
Below we inform visitors to the website www.bartolucci.store about how cookies are used.
