What are cookies

Cookies are text files sent by a web server (namely, the computer that “hosts” the visited website) to the user’s browser (Internet Explorer, Firefox, Google Chrome, etc.) and stored on the device, either fixed or mobile (computer, smartphone, tablet), used by the user for browsing. Cookies allow the Website to identify the user’s device through the stored information each time the user reconnects itself to the Website through that device.

By using cookies, it is possible to make it easier for the user to browse the Website and to analyse their preferences and tastes by checking their browsing history, and consequently to offer products and provide services more consistent with the interests and expectations of said user.

Cookies may be “session cookies” (when they are stored only for the duration of the browsing session and are cancelled when the session is closed), or “permanent cookies” (that are stored for longer periods, until their expiry or cancellation by the user). Further, cookies may be installed by the website the user is visiting (so-called first party cookies) or may be installed by other websites (so-called third party cookies).

Cookies do not collect direct personal data information concerning the user. In fact, MA MODA cannot, by means of cookies, directly obtain any personal data information (e.g. name, surname), unless expressly provided by the client.

Such cookies do not require the preventive and express consent of the user since they are closely linked to the provision of the service requested by the user of the Website.

Operation technical cookies

MA MODA uses operation technical cookies that allow you to browse according to the criteria selected by you (for instance, the language or products that you selected for purchasing purposes) in order to improve the services provided by the Website. Within the Website, such cookies allow, in accordance with your express selection, for you to be identified in future accesses; or, if you have added one or more items in the shopping bag and closed the session before completing purchase without deleting them, such cookies allow you to continue shopping during your next access to the Website (within a limited period) recovering the selected items. Operation cookies are not indispensable for the Website to function, but they improve browsing quality and experience.

Such cookies do not require the prior and express consent of the user since they are closely linked to the provision of the service requested by the user of the Website.

Analytical cookies

MA MODA, in its capacity as manager of the Website, uses third parties’ analytical cookies to collect information on the Website used by the users (number of visitors, visited pages, permanence on the Website, etc.) to prepare statistical analysis, on an aggregated basis, on the number of users and on how users browse our Website. To use such cookies, criteria for masking the source of the IP address have been adopted.

Such cookies do not require the prior and express consent of the user since they are closely linked to the provision of the service requested by the user of the Website.

Third party profiling cookies

MA MODA uses third party profiling cookies (namely cookies that are issued and managed by parties other than MA MODA) to send advertising messages in line with the preferences manifested by the user while browsing.

This category of cookies includes third party social media cookies that allow information on the user’s social network use to be collected.

The use of such cookies requires the express and informed consent of the user.
