COOKIE POLICY - Notice pursuant to Art 13 of the EU General Data Protection Regulation 2016/679 (GDPR).

This notice is an extension of the information on the use of cookies and other technical identifiers provided to the data subject through the simplified notice on the banner shown when accessing this website.

This page is addressed to users who consult the website accessible electronically at the following address: www.sugarmusic.com  (the “Site”)

The Data Controller is Sugarmusic S.p.A. a Socio Unico with registered office in Galleria del Corso, 4 - 20122 Milan (MI) (hereinafter the “Company” “Data Controller”).

1. Definitions, characteristics and enforcement

Cookies are small text files that sites visited by the user send and record on your terminal device (computer or mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets), to be then retransmitted to the same sites on your next visit.

It is precisely because of cookies that a site remembers the user's actions and preferences (such as, for example, login data, language chosen, font size, other display settings, etc.) so that they do not have to be indicated again when the user returns to visit said site or navigates from one page to another of itCookies, therefore, are used to perform computer authentication, session tracking, facilitation of content enjoyment, and storage of information regarding the activities of users accessing a site and may also contain a unique identifier code that allows tracking of the user's navigation within the site itself for statistical or advertising purposes.

Classification of Cookies

In connection with your visit of the Site, in addition to cookies stored directly by the site you are visiting (so-called “first-party cookies”), you may also receive on your computer cookies from sites or web servers other than the one you are visiting (so-called “third-party cookies”).

Some operations could not be accomplished without the use of cookies, which in some cases are therefore technically necessary for the very operation of the site.

There are various types of cookies, depending on their characteristics and functions, and these can remain on the user's computer for different periods of time: so-called “session cookies” which are automatically deleted when the browser is closed; so-called “persistent cookies,” which remain on the user's equipment until a predetermined expiration date.

Then there are cookies, so-called “analytics cookies,” used for the purpose of evaluation with regard to the effectiveness of an information society service provided, for the design of a website or to help measure its “traffic,” i.e., the number of visitors including possibly broken down by geographic area, time slot of connection or other characteristics.

Under current Italian law, the use of cookies does not always require the user's express consent. In particular, the so-called “technical cookies”, i.e. those used for the sole purpose of carrying out the transmission of a communication over an electronic communication network, or to the extent strictly necessary to provide a service explicitly requested by the user, do not require such consent. In other words, these are cookies that are indispensable for the operation of the site or necessary to perform activities requested by the user, in the absence of which certain operations could not be performed or would be more complex and/or less secure.

Among technical cookies, which do not require express consent for their use, the Italian Data Protection Authority (see Guidelines cookies and other tracking tools of June 10, 2021 and subsequent clarifications, hereinafter only “Guidelines”) also includes:

analytics cookies if through their use the possibility of arriving at the direct identification of the data subject is precluded (so-called “single out”), thus preventing the use of analytics cookies that may be direct and unique identifiers. In addition, their structure must provide for the possibility of referring them not to one but to several devices, so as to create reasonable uncertainty about the IT identity of the subject receiving it (usually by masking portions of the IP address within the cookie itself as indicated in the Guidelines). Finally, in order to be identified as technical, analytics cookies should be limited to the production of aggregate statistics only and that they are used relative to a single site/mobile application, so as not to allow tracking of a person's browsing using different applications or browsing different websites; session cookies;

For so-called “profiling cookies,” vice versa, i.e., those aimed at creating profiles related to the user and used in order to modulate the provision of the service in a personalized manner beyond what is strictly necessary for the provision of the service or to send targeted advertising messages in line with the preferences expressed by the same in the context of web browsing and/or to carry out analysis and monitoring of visitor behavior, prior consent of the user is required.

Types of cookies used by the Site

The Data Controller has classified the cookies in use according to their type of use as follows.

Since the obligation to comply with the relevant regulations also descends for third-party cookie providers, we refer to the link to the web pages of the third-party sites, in which the user can find the cookie consent collection forms and their related notices.
