This Cookie Policy applies to the website www.fruttetoitalia.com, as well as all landing pages linked and/or related to it (hereinafter, “the Website”), and to all related pages and sections within the domain, as well as to third-party platforms (e.g., Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, YouTube, Google, etc.) and applications accessed or used through this Website.
By using the Website, you consent to the use of Cookies in accordance with this Cookie Policy.
If you do not consent to the use of Cookies, you must set your browser settings appropriately, disabling the use of the selected types of Cookies, as further explained in the section below “How can I give or withdraw consent to the installation of Cookies?” However, please note that disabling technical Cookies required for the functioning of the Website may impact your browsing experience.
Below, we list the different types of Cookies used by the Site, along with their respective functions, so that the User can consciously express their consent to their use.
What are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files, consisting of letters and numbers, that the sites visited by the User send to their terminal (usually the browser). These files can be saved and stored for a certain period of time on the computer (or other enabled devices, such as smartphones, tablets, etc.), and then retransmitted to the same website so that the server can consult them on the same User’s next visit. While browsing a site, the User may also receive Cookies sent to their terminal from different sites or web servers (so-called “third parties”), from which some elements (such as images, maps, sounds, specific links to pages on other domains) displayed derive.
Cookies are used to streamline web traffic analysis, to indicate when a specific site or part of it is visited, or to distinguish between visitors in order to provide them with personalized content. Furthermore, cookies help administrators improve the site and the browsing experience.
For example, some cookies are used to perform computer authentication, monitor sessions, store information on specific configurations regarding users accessing the server, etc.; other cookies can be used to monitor and profile users while browsing, study their movements and web browsing or consumption habits (what they buy, what they read, etc.), including for the purpose of sending targeted and personalized advertising.
COOKIES can be FIRST-PARTY or PROPRIETARY, when they are installed directly by the operator/administrator of the site you are visiting.
THIRD-PARTY COOKIES are those installed on the terminal by a party other than the operator of the site you are visiting.
What do we use cookies for?
TECHNICAL COOKIES
The Site uses Cookies for technical reasons. These are essential for its proper functioning and allow the User to navigate, view content, and use its features.
Generally, these types of Cookies are necessary, for example, to keep a browsing session open or to temporarily store text entered while filling out a form when returning to a previous page during the same session.
Therefore, deactivating these Cookies could result in the Site not functioning properly.
Please note that the User’s consent is not required to create this type of Cookie.
Within the scope of Technical Cookies, a further distinction can be made between:
TECHNICAL COOKIES: SESSION COOKIES
Among Technical Cookies, the first to be distinguished are “session Cookies.”
A “session cookie” or “session cookie” is active only for the relevant browsing session and is deleted when the user closes the browser window. This allows the Site to temporarily store the information needed for navigation from one page to another, avoiding the need to re-enter it.
They therefore allow, for example, the user’s status to be identified and whether they are logged in (i.e., whether they have accessed a reserved section of the Site by logging in or entering their credentials).
The use of these cookies is strictly limited to the transmission of session identifiers (consisting of random numbers generated by the server) necessary to enable safe and efficient browsing of the Site.
This Site uses session cookies to avoid the use of other IT techniques that could potentially compromise the privacy of Users’ browsing experience, as these cookies do not allow the acquisition of Personal Data that identifies the User.
User consent is not required for the use of this type of cookie.
Please note that session cookies can be deactivated by consulting the specific section of this Cookie Policy entitled “How can I give or withdraw consent to the installation of cookies?”
By disabling these technical cookies, the Site may not function properly.
TECHNICAL COOKIES: PERSISTENT COOKIES
Persistent Cookies are a distinguishing feature of technical cookies.
A persistent cookie is used to retain information between visits to the site, or for technical purposes and to improve navigation on the site, allowing us to recognize a previously known user or visitor. It remains on the user’s device beyond the end of each session, and more specifically:
for the “lifetime” of the individual cookie, which is set by the website and can vary from a few minutes to several years (please note that each type of cookie has its own specific lifespan);
until they are manually deleted via the browser settings, which can be changed by following the instructions in the relevant section of this cookie policy entitled “How can I give or withdraw consent to the installation of cookies?”
User consent is not required for the use of this type of cookie.
By disabling these technical cookies, the site may not function properly.
TECHNICAL COOKIES: ANALYTICS COOKIES
Finally, among technical cookies, we distinguish analytics cookies, which are used to statistically analyze access/visits to the site for exclusively statistical purposes (and not for profiling and/or marketing purposes) and which collect information in aggregate form without the possibility of tracing the identification of the individual user.
Current legislation requires that for these cookies, the data subject be provided with clear and adequate information on how to easily opt-out of their installation (including any mechanisms for anonymizing the cookies themselves).
Therefore, it is always possible to disable analytics cookies without affecting the functionality of the site by consulting the relevant section of this cookie policy entitled “How can I give or withdraw consent to the installation of cookies?”
B) PROFILING COOKIES
This type of cookie, which can be either first-party (i.e., sent by the Site) or third-party (e.g., social networks), is used to create personalized user profiles for advertising and marketing purposes, such as retargeting or advertising on social networks.
This type of cookie, therefore, is generally not necessary to ensure navigation on the Site or its proper functioning, and therefore the User must consent to its use.
Consent may be withheld, as indicated in the relevant section of this cookie policy entitled “How can I give or withdraw consent to the installation of Cookies,” which the User is advised to read carefully.
THIRD-PARTY COOKIES
As previously stated, both technical cookies (particularly analytics cookies) and profiling cookies may be third-party cookies.
Specifically, Google, Google Maps, and other Google services, as well as YouTube (for the use of videos and other services), as well as social networks (including, but not limited to, Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, etc.), may install such cookies.
However, since this list of cookies depends on the choices of these third parties, the User is encouraged to consult the respective cookie policies of these third parties via the appropriate link in this Site’s Privacy Policy, also to disable the installed cookies using the opt-out mechanism.

– Google Analytics with anonymized IP;
Google Analytics is a web analytics service provided by Google for statistical purposes to understand how visitors interact with the Site, compile reports, and share them with other Google services. Google Analytics may use a set of cookies to collect information and generate statistics on the use of the Site, without providing personal information about individual visitors to Google. The User’s IP address is anonymized. This anonymization works by shortening the User’s IP address within the member states of the European Union or in other countries party to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the IP address be sent to Google’s servers and shortened within the United States.
Please note, however, that data may also be processed outside the EEA.
Users are also advised that as of July 16, 2020, Google no longer bases the Processing of Users’ Personal Data on the EU-U.S. Privacy Shield for transferring data from the European Economic Area and the United Kingdom to the United States; More specifically, as of September 30, 2020, Google has updated its Personal Data Processing Policy and uses the standard contractual clauses approved by the European Commission, based on the European Commission’s adequacy decisions for certain countries, as applicable, for data transfers from the EEA to the United States and other countries.
Regarding the use of cookies by Google Analytics, Users are encouraged to carefully review the relevant privacy policy and cookie policy, as well as the section of this Cookie Policy entitled “How can I give or withdraw consent to the installation of Cookies?” via their browser settings and the Privacy Shield section of this Policy.

Google invisible reCaptcha
reCAPTCHA is a free captcha service from Google that protects websites from spam software and misuse by non-human visitors. This service is most commonly used when filling out contact forms to ensure that specific online actions are performed by humans and not bots. Traditional captchas work with small tasks that are easy for humans to solve, but pose significant challenges for machines. With reCAPTCHA, users no longer have to actively solve puzzles. The tool uses modern risk analysis techniques to distinguish humans from bots. All users have to do is check the “I’m not a robot” text box. However, with Invisible reCAPTCHA, even this is no longer necessary. reCAPTCHA integrates a JavaScript element into the source text, after which the tool runs in the background and analyzes the user’s behavior. The software calculates a captcha score from the user’s actions. Google uses this score to calculate the probability that the user is a human before entering the captcha. reCAPTCHA and Captcha in general are used whenever bots could manipulate or abuse certain actions (such as registrations, surveys, etc.).
When using reCAPTCHA, data is transmitted to Google to determine whether the user is truly human. reCAPTCHA thus ensures the security of our website and, consequently, that of the user.
IP addresses and other data required by Google for its reCAPTCHA service may be sent to Google, whose servers may be located in the USA.
First, the reCAPTCHA algorithm checks whether Google cookies from other Google services (YouTube, Gmail, etc.) have already been placed on the user’s browser. ReCAPTCHA then sets an additional cookie in the user’s browser and takes a snapshot of the browser window.
The IP address that the user’s browser transmits to Google is generally not merged with other Google data from other Google services.
However, data will be merged if you are logged in to your Google account while using the reCAPTCHA plugin.
If you wish to prevent your data and behavior from being transmitted to Google, you must log out of Google completely and delete all Google cookies before visiting our website or using the reCAPTCHA software. Data is typically automatically sent to Google as soon as you visit our website. To delete this data, you must contact Google Support at https://support.google.com/?hl=en-GB&tid=111401120.
By using our website, you agree to the automatic collection, processing, and use of data by Google LLC and its representatives.
You can find more information about reCAPTCHA on the Google Developers page at https://developers.google.com/recaptcha/.
For more information, please read the Google Privacy Policy and Terms of Service carefully.
Personal Data: Cookies; Usage Data; other types of Data.
Facebook and Instagram Remarketing
Facebook (and Instagram) Remarketing is a remarketing and behavioral targeting service provided by Facebook Inc.
With the help of the Facebook pixel (or equivalent functions for transmitting event data or contact information via interfaces or other software in apps), Facebook (/Instagram) is able to target visitors to this Site and display ads.
This Site therefore uses the “Custom Audiences” remarketing feature of Facebook Inc., which allows Site Users to see interest-based ads (“Facebook Ads” or “Instagram Ads”) when they browse Facebook or Instagram social networks, or other websites that use this process. This displays ads that are of interest to the User, in order to make online offerings more interesting for them.
Using Custom Audience causes the User’s browser to automatically establish a direct connection to the Facebook/Instagram server.
The data collected is processed by Facebook Inc. in the United States.
This Site has no influence over the scope of the data collected and the further use of such data by Facebook Inc.: therefore, please carefully read the relevant Facebook Privacy Policy and the Instagram Privacy Policy.
The User can obtain more information about Facebook behavioral advertising by visiting this page: https://www.facebook.com/help/164968693837950
To disable Facebook interest-based ads, please follow these instructions: https://www.facebook.com/help/568137493302217
Facebook adheres to the Self-Regulatory Principles
For online behavioral advertising, please refer to the policies established by the Digital Advertising Alliance. To opt out of Facebook and other participating companies, visit the Digital Advertising Alliance in the United States http://www.aboutads.info/choices/, the Digital Advertising Alliance of Canada in Canada http://youradchoices.ca/, or the European Interactive Digital Advertising Alliance in Europe http://www.youronlinechoices.eu/, or disable it using your mobile device settings.
The “Facebook Custom Audiences” feature can be disabled for logged-in users at https://www.facebook.com/settings/?tab=ads#.
Personal Data: Usage Data; email, Cookies, other types of Data.
WordPress.com
This site uses the WordPress platform to register for the reserved area and authenticate users. For more information on WordPress’s data processing, users are invited to read the relevant privacy policy.
Personal data: various types of data.
PRIVACY SHIELD
The Privacy Shield, or “privacy shield” between the EU and the US, is a self-certification mechanism for companies established in the US that intend to receive personal data from the European Union. It was also deemed adequate by the European Commission in 2016.
Specifically, companies undertake to comply with the principles contained therein and to provide data subjects (i.e., all individuals whose personal data has been transferred from the European Union) with adequate protections, under penalty of removal from the “Privacy Shield List” by the US Department of Commerce and possible sanctions by the Federal Trade Commission.
However, with Decision 2016/1250 of July 16, 2020, on the adequacy of the protection provided by the EU-US Privacy Shield – the so-called “Schrems II” ruling, the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) held that the Privacy Shield does not offer an adequate level of protection for personal data transferred from the EU to a company established in the United States.
With the same ruling, the European Court of Justice upheld Decision 2010/87, deeming the standard contractual clauses for the transfer of personal data from the EU to a non-EU country to be valid.
Users are encouraged to consult the FAQs on the Schrems II ruling and its effects prepared by the European Data Protection Board (EDPB), the website www.privacyshield.gov, and the website of the Italian Data Protection Authority for a better understanding of the issue.
How can I give or withdraw consent to the installation of cookies?
Users can manage their cookie preferences and prevent, for example, third parties from installing them as follows:
through the appropriate browser setting –
In most latest-generation browsers, you can choose the Do Not Track option, which automatically stops the collection of certain browsing data. However, not all websites are set to allow this option (which is discretionary).
Some browsers allow users to browse in “anonymous” mode, limiting the amount of data stored on their computer and automatically deleting persistent cookies placed on their device when they finish browsing. In this case, the sites visited will not detect the user, the pages viewed, and the related cookies will not be stored. However, the anonymous browsing function does not guarantee anonymity on the Internet because it only deletes cookies from your browser, not those processed by website operators and connectivity providers.
In all browsers, it is possible to manually delete cookies. However, Users are reminded that new cookies are downloaded each time they connect to the Internet, and therefore they must delete them periodically. Some browsers offer automated systems for periodically deleting cookies.
By expressly refusing consent—generally required only for profiling cookies—if the Site uses a latest-generation banner.
Users can find information on how to manage cookies with some of the most popular browsers, for example, at the following addresses: Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari, Microsoft Internet Explorer, and Microsoft Edge.
With regard to any identifiers used by third parties, Users can manage their settings and withdraw their consent by visiting the relevant opt-out link (if available), using the tools described in the third party’s privacy policy, or by contacting the third party directly.
With specific regard to Google Analytics, Users may opt out/disable Google Analytics on websites that use the supported version of the Google Analytics JavaScript (analytics.js, gtag.js) by clicking here.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Users are informed that they may avail themselves of the information provided by YourOnlineChoices (EU), the Network Advertising Initiative (USA), the Digital Advertising Alliance (USA), DAAC (Canada), DDAI (Japan), or other similar services. The Data Controller therefore recommends that Users also consult these sites.
