1. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files that websites may store on a user's device during browsing. They can be used to enable essential website functions, remember preferences, improve usability or, in some cases, collect information about how a website is used.
Similar technologies, such as local storage or other browser-based storage systems, may perform comparable functions.
2. Types of cookies
Strictly necessary cookies
These cookies are necessary for the technical operation, security or delivery of services explicitly requested by the user. Where applicable, they may be used without prior consent when permitted by applicable law.
Functional cookies
Functional cookies may allow the website to remember choices or provide additional features requested by the visitor.
Analytics cookies
Analytics technologies may be used to understand how visitors use the website, for example by collecting aggregated information about page views and website performance. Where consent is legally required, these technologies should only be activated after the user has expressed the relevant preference.
Marketing and profiling cookies
CannedFood.it does not currently intend to use cookies for behavioural advertising or profiling unless specifically indicated and, where required, activated only after obtaining the user's consent.
3. Website chat – Lime Connect
When the Lime Connect Website Messenger is available, the service may use cookies or similar technical storage mechanisms that are necessary to maintain the conversation, recognise an ongoing chat session and provide the requested messaging functionality.
If a visitor actively uses the chat, information submitted during the conversation may be processed, including the content of messages and any contact details voluntarily provided by the visitor.
Technical information required for the operation and security of the service may also be processed.
The chat service is provided by Lime Technologies through the Lime Connect platform.
Further information about the processing carried out through the service can be found in the privacy information provided by Lime Technologies.
4. Third-party services
Some pages of CannedFood.it may contain services or resources provided by third parties. These services may establish independent connections between the visitor's browser and the third-party provider.
Depending on the service used, third-party providers may use cookies or similar technologies according to their own privacy and cookie policies.
Examples may include website messaging systems, embedded multimedia content, technical content delivery networks or other external services necessary for the operation of specific website functions.
