Cookie Policy
Dear Visitor (hereafter “You” or “the User“),
This Internet site (www.sbsmobile.com) (hereafter the “Site“) is owned by the company SBS S.p.A., REA no. NO-202775, Tax code and VAT no. 01888310032, with registered office in Via Circonvallazione s/n, 28010 Miasino (hereafter referred to as “We” or “the Company”).
As we use cookies on our Site for different purposes, this policy explains what cookies are and how they are used on the Site. The information on cookies is also provided pursuant to art. 122 of Legislative Decree no. n. 196/2003 (Personal Data Protection Code) and art. 14 of Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (hereafter, the “Regulation“) to explain how and for what purposes we process your personal data, which may be obtained through the use of cookies on our Site.
This Cookie Policy is provided in addition to the Site’s Privacy Policy, which we encourage you to read.
Some cookies (so-called own or first party cookies) are carried and controlled directly by us. Using these cookies, the Company transmits and processes certain personal data regarding you.
Other cookies (so-called third-party cookies), are, however, transmitted and controlled by third parties. In this policy you will find links to the policies published by these third parties, which we encourage you to read carefully.
Please read this policy carefully, as well as the Site’s general Privacy Policy, so that you can make informed choices.
A. What are cookies and what are they used for
Cookies are small text files that are sent by the sites visited by the user directly to her/her terminal (usually to the browser), where they are stored and then transmitted to the same sites the next time the same user visits (so-called own first-party cookies). During navigation of a site, the user may also receive cookies on his/her terminal from different sites or web servers (so-called third-party cookies); this happens because the website visited may feature elements such as, for example, images, maps, sounds, or specific links to web pages of other domains that reside on servers other than the one on which the requested page is located. In other words, these cookies are placed by a website other than the one you are currently visiting.
Cookies may be limited in duration to a single browsing session on the browser (so-called session cookies), in which case they are automatically deactivated when the user closes the browser. Alternatively, they can have a pre-determined expiry date and, in this case, they will remain stored and active on your hard disk until the expiry date, continuing to collect information during different browsing sessions on the browser (so-called permanent cookies).
Cookies are used for different functions. Some of them are necessary in order to allow you to navigate the Site and to use its functionalities (c.d. technical cookies). Others are used to obtain statistical information, in aggregate or non-aggregate form, on the number of users accessing the Site and on how the Site is used (c.d. tracking or analytics cookies). Finally, others are used to draw up a profile of you as a consumer and to display advertisements on the Site that may be of interest to you, as they are consistent with your tastes and your consumption habits (so-called profiling cookies).
Only technical cookies, analytics cookies, and profiling cookies are used on the Site.
To learn more about these different categories of cookies, please continue reading this policy. Find out how they work and what they are used for, and freely choose whether to consent to their use or not.
B. Technical cookies
Technical cookies are used on the Site for the sole purpose of making it possible for you to navigate the Site and use its functionalities. Some technical cookies are essential to provide you with an optimal browsing experience or to allow you to verify your identity on the site, for example to make a purchase on the Site or to enter your private area (so-called navigation cookies). Navigation cookies are normally session cookies and are therefore automatically deactivated once the browser is closed.
Other technical cookies are useful to allow you to store save of your preferences (for example, the language or country of origin) without having to reset them during subsequent visits (so-called functionality cookies). For this reason, functionality cookies are often permanent cookies, as they remain stored on your computer even after you close your browser, until their expiration date or until you decide to delete them.
The following technical cookies are currently used on the Site:
| Cookie Name | Cookie category | Deadline |
|---|---|---|
| __cfduid | Necessary | 30 days |
| CONSENT | Necessary | 6112 days |

As required by current privacy legislation, your prior consent is not required for the installation of such cookies.

Please note, however, that by blocking the installation of technical cookies, or subsequently deleting them, your ability to access the Site, to use all or part of it, to enable or disable certain functions or to receive certain services may be totally or partially compromised.

| _ga_# | Statistics | 2 years |
Other third-party analytics cookies are, on the other hand, installed on the Site only with your prior consent, because they are not anonymised and third parties can access disaggregated analytics data at the level of the IP address.

F. More information
As outlined in the introduction to this policy, the Company collects and processes some of your personal data through cookies that it transmits directly on the Site (first party cookies). The Company acts as the controller of this data. We will process your data only by electronic means, in a fully automated manner and without human interference. Our employees and contractors will therefore never have access to the content of your personal data obtained through cookies.

Personal data may be stored on servers operated by third parties (eg. suppliers of computer systems), who act as external data processors on the basis of a specific appointment in writing by the Company. We inform you that, in compliance with the conditions and guarantees established by law, your data may be transferred to countries outside the European Economic Area, which may not offer a level of privacy and personal data protection comparable to that guaranteed by Italian and European privacy laws. Your personal data will not be communicated to third-party data controllers and will not be disseminated. In addition, we inform you that our Site also uses a service to anonymously record Users’ interactions through the Site. This service can record mouse clicks, mouse movements, page scrolling and any text typed into the forms on the Site. The data collected through this service is used to improve the usability of our Site.
