Through the use of cookies, Websites remember your actions and preferences (such as, for example, login data, the chosen language, font size, other display settings, etc.) to avoid having to enter them again when you return to the Website or browse its pages. Cookies are mainly used for authentication purposes, session monitoring and to save information on the activities of users and may also contain a unique identification code that tracks the activities of users while browsing the Website itself, for statistical or advertising purposes. While browsing a website, you may also receive cookies from websites or web servers different to the one you are currently browsing (known as “third-party” cookies).

In particular, “technical cookies”, cookies used for the sole purpose of transmitting a communication over an electronic communications network, or to the extent strictly necessary to provide a service explicitly requested by the user (for example, for authentication, language preferences), do not require this consent. In short, these cookies are either essential for the operation of the Website, or necessary for the activities requested by the user.
The technical cookies do not require express consent of the user to be installed.
On the other hand, “profiling cookies”, meaning cookies that are used to create user profiles and send advertising messages corresponding to the preferences expressed by the users while browsing the internet, require the prior consent of users.

- to fullfil any obligations under applicable laws, regulations or community legislation, or comply with requests by authorities (“Compliance”);
- to communicate your Personal Data to our branch-office or network company located in the Country of your choice (“Communication“).
4. Legal basis and mandatory or optional nature of the provision of data
Gruppo Fabbri Vignola applies the following lawful bases for processing your Personal Data for the purposes indicated in Section Purpose of processing above:
– Provision of Services: The lawful basis of this processing activities is art. 6(1)(b) of the Regulation (“[…] processing is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is party or in order to take steps at the request of the data subject prior to entering into a contract”). You can choose not to provide your Personal Data for this purpose, but if you do not complete the fields marked with an asterisk (*) it will not be possible to provide the Services through the Website or respond to your requests;
– Marketing: processing for Marketing purposes is based on your specific consent in accordance with art. 6(1)(a) of the Regulation (“[…] the data subject has given consent to the processing of his or her personal data for one or more specific purposes”).

Gruppo Fabbri Vignola will connect you with its branch-offices or network companies located in the Country of your choice.
