Cookies

The use of session cookies (which are not stored permanently on the user’s computer and disappear when the browser is closed) is strictly limited to transmission of the session identifiers (comprising random numbers generated by the server) needed for the safe and efficient exploration of the website and its applications.
The session cookies used by the Comelit website avoid recourse to other IT techniques that might prejudice the confidential nature of browsing, and do not allow acquisition of the user’s personal identification details.
The Comelit website uses systems that analyse the browsing of users to obtain statistics about their visits or to improve the content offered, present products that are similar to each other and, as appropriate, position targeted advertising on the web pages. The specific system used is Google Analytics, which is a web analysis service provided by Google, Inc. (« Google »). Like other systems, Google Analytics also uses cookies, which are text files that are stored on the computers of users so the website can analyse how it is used by them. The information generated by the cookies about use of the website by each user (including IP address) is sent to and stored on Google’s servers in the United States. Google uses this information to track and examine use of the website, prepare reports on website activity and provide other services relating to the way the Internet is used. Google may also transfer this information to third parties, if this is required by law or if those parties process the above information on behalf of Google. Google does not associate the IP address of the user with any other data held by Google. The user can always refuse the use of cookies by selecting the appropriate browser setting, although this might impede full use of the functions available on the website. By using the Comelit website, the user agrees to the processing of data by Google in the manner and for the reasons indicated above.

It is always possible to configure the Internet browser so that it does not accept cookies, thus activating a form of anonymous web browsing. In this case, no data will be processed using the above-mentioned systems.

Permanent cookies

Permanent cookies remain on the device, even after leaving the website, until the user deletes them or their expiry date is reached. The Comelit website creates cookies of this type and stores them on the device, so that they can be read when the user next visits the website. Practically, this enables the website to find any pre-existing user preferences (e.g. wish lists) at the time of later visits to the website.
