Cookie Policy
The purpose of this Cookie Policy is to explain the types and categories of cookies, the purposes and methods of use of cookies by NVL S.r.l. ("NVL"), the data controller, with registered office in Casalnuovo di Napoli, via Napoli 131, as well as to provide guidance to users on how to refuse or delete cookies on the website: nvl.it
1. What are cookies?
Cookies are pieces of code (computer files or partial data) sent by a server to the user's Internet browser, automatically stored on the user's computer by the browser and automatically sent back to the server each time the site is accessed or subsequently accessed. A cookie usually contains the name of the website from which the cookie originates, the cookie's lifetime (i.e. how long it will remain on the user's device) and a value, which is usually a randomly generated unique number. On each subsequent visit, cookies are sent back to the website that issued them (first-party cookies) or to another website that recognises them (third-party cookies). Cookies are useful because they allow a website to recognise a user's device and they serve a number of purposes, for example, to enable you to navigate efficiently between pages, remember your favourite sites and generally improve your browsing experience. They also help to ensure that the advertising content displayed online is better targeted to a user and their interests.
If you choose to disable cookies, this may affect and/or limit your browsing experience on the Site, e.g. you may not be able to visit certain sections of a site or you may not receive personalised information when you visit the Site.
2. How do cookies work and how do I delete them?
The way it works, as well as the options for restricting or blocking cookies, can be adjusted by changing the settings on your internet browser. Most internet browsers are initially set up to accept cookies automatically, but you can change these settings to block cookies or to be notified whenever cookies are sent to your device. There are a number of ways to manage cookies, so please refer to your browser's instruction manual or help screen to see how to adjust or change your browser settings. You can change the default configuration and disable cookies (i.e. block them permanently) by setting the highest level of protection.
Below is the path to follow to manage cookies from the following browsers:
- Explorer: http://windows.microsoft.com/it-it/windows7/block-enable-or-allow-cookies
- Safari: https://support.apple.com/kb/PH21411?viewlocale=it_IT&locale=en_US
- Chrome: https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/95647?hl=it-IT&hlrm=fr&hlrm=en

If you use different devices to view and access the Site (e.g. computer, smartphone, tablet, etc.), you should ensure that each browser on each device is adjusted to reflect your cookie preferences. To delete cookies from your smartphone/tablet's internet browser, you should refer to your device's user manual.
3. What types and categories of cookies does NVL use and for what purposes?
The site uses different types of cookies, each of which has a specific function. The Site uses cookies to make the Site easier to use and to better tailor both the Site and its products to the interests and needs of users. Cookies may also be used to speed up future user experiences and activities on the Site. In addition, the Site uses cookies to compile anonymous aggregate statistics to help us understand how users use the Site and to improve the structure and content of the Site.
Below is an explanatory list.
Technical cookies
Technical cookies include necessary, functionality, and analytical cookies. Necessary cookies are essential for the proper functioning of the site and allow users to navigate the Site and take advantage of its features (e.g. they allow the storage of previous actions or save the user's session and/or perform other activities strictly necessary for the operation of the site).
Functionality cookies allow the site to remember the user's choices (e.g. the user's name) in order to provide the user with more personalised and optimised navigation. Functional cookies are not essential to the operation of the site, but they improve the quality and experience of the site. If you do not accept these cookies, the performance and functionality of the site may be reduced and access to the content of the site may be restricted.
Analytical cookies help NVL to understand how users interact with the site by providing information relating to the last page visited, the number of sections and pages visited, the time spent on the site and any events that have arisen during navigation, such as an error message, and help to understand any difficulties that the user encounters in using the site. This information may be associated with user details such as IP address, domain or browser; however, it is analysed together with other users' information so as not to identify one particular user to another. These cookies are collected and aggregated anonymously and allow NVL to improve the performance of the site.
Profiling cookies
Targeting or profiling cookies are used to present content that is better suited to you and your interests. They may be used to display targeted advertisements, to serve ads tailored to the user's interests, or to limit the number of times the user views an advertisement. They also help measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns on the Site; where explicit consent is given, NVL may use these cookies to remember what the user has visited and share this information with third parties, including agencies and advertisers who may use their cookies to collect information about user activity on the Site.
Sharing (or social network) cookies are needed to allow you to interact with the site through your social account and are used, for example, to express a liking and share it with your social contacts.
NVL's site uses or may use, even in combination with each other, cookies:
- session" cookies, which are stored on the user's computer for purely technical-functional reasons, for the transmission of session identifiers needed to allow secure and efficient exploration of the site; they are deleted at the end of the "session" (hence the name) when the browser is closed;
- " persistent" cookies, which are stored on the computer's hard disk until they expire or are deleted by users. By means of persistent cookies, users accessing the site (or any other users using the same computer) are automatically recognised at each visit.
4. Third-party cookies
When a user uses the Website, it is possible that certain cookies that are not controlled by NVL may be stored. This happens, for example, if the user visits a page that contains content from a third party website. As a result, the User will receive cookies from these third party services. On third party cookies NVL has no control over the information provided by the cookie and has no access to this data. This information is fully controlled by the third party companies as described in their respective privacy policies.
The following table lists the third-party cookies present on the NVL site. These are under the direct and exclusive responsibility of the third-party operator and are divided into the following macro-categories:
- Analytical: these are the cookies used to collect and analyse statistical information on access/visits to the website. In some cases, associated with other information such as the credentials entered to access restricted areas (your email address and password), they can be used to profile the user (personal habits, site visited, content downloaded, types of interaction carried out, etc.).
- Widgets. This category includes all those graphical components of a programme user interface, the purpose of which is to facilitate user interaction with the programme itself (by way of example, Facebook, Google+, Twitter, Instagram and YouTube cookies are widgets).
- Advertising. This category includes cookies used to provide advertising services on a website.
If you do not wish to receive third party cookies on your device, you can use the links below to access the third party's information and consent forms and opt out of receiving them.
These cookies are not directly controlled by the site, so to revoke your consent you must refer to the third party websites or refer to the site www.youronlinechoices.com/it/ for information on how to delete or manage cookies depending on the browser you are using and to manage your preferences for third party profiling cookies.
