Cookie Policy

Definitions, characteristics and application of standards

Cookies are small text files that may be sent to and registered on your computer or mobile device by the websites you visit, to then be re-sent to those same sites when you visit them again. It is thanks to these cookies that those websites can “remember” your actions and preferences (e.g., login data, language, font size, other display settings, etc.), so that you do not need to configure them again when you next visit the website, or when you change pages within a website.

 

Cookies are, therefore, used for electronic authentication, monitoring of sessions and storage of information regarding your activities when accessing a website. They may also contain a unique ID code which allows tracking of your browsing activities within a website, for statistical or advertising purposes. Some operations within a website may not be able to be performed without the use of cookies which, in certain cases, are technically necessary for operation of the website.

 

When browsing a website, you may also receive cookies from websites or web servers other than the website being visited (i.e., third-party cookies).

 

There are various types of cookies, depending on their characteristics and functions, which may be stored on your computer or mobile device for different periods of time: “session cookies”, which are automatically deleted when you close your browser, and “persistent cookies”, which will remain on your device until their pre-set expiration period passes.

 

According to the law which may be applicable to you, your consent may not always be necessary for cookies to be used through the Website. In particular, “technical cookies” – i.e., cookies used exclusively to transmit communication messages through an electronic communications network, or otherwise strictly necessary to provide a service specifically requested by you – typically do not require this consent. In other words, cookies which are indispensable for operation of the Website or required to perform activities you request may be used without your consent. This may include cookies used for analytics purposes (used to collect aggregated information on the number of users of a website, and how those users visit the website), browsing or session cookies (used to allow users to login) and function cookies (used to allow memorization of choices made by a user when accessing the website, such as language or products selected for purchase, in order to improve the user’s experience).

 

On the other hand, “profiling cookies” – i.e., cookies used to create profiles on users and to send advertising messages in line with the preferences revealed by users while browsing websites – typically require specific consent from users, although this may vary according to the applicable law.

 

Types of cookies used by the Website

The Website uses the following types of cookies:

 

  • Strictly necessary cookies, which are strictly necessary for the Website’s operation and/or to allow you to use the Website’s content and services.
  • Performance cookies, which allow Ferrero to understand how users make use of the Website, and to track traffic to and from the Website. The information collected by these cookies is processed in an aggregate and anonymous form, with no information on your specific ID being collected – therefore, the use of these cookies does not involve the use of your Personal Data.
  • Targeting cookies, which are used to observe the preferences you reveal through your use of the Website and to send you advertising messages in line with those preferences.

 

Ferrero also relies on third-party cookies – i.e., cookies from websites / web servers other Ferrero’s own websites (including the Website), which are owned by third parties. These third parties will either act as independent data controllers from Ferrero regarding their own cookies (using the data they collect for their own purposes and under terms defined by them) or as data processors for Ferrero (processing personal data on Ferrero’s behalf). For further information on how these third parties may use your information, please refer to their privacy policies:
