Last updated: dec 10 – 2025

This Cookie Policy is provided by marcodimarzio.com, VAT No. 07472470967, with registered office at
Via Coluccio Salutati 7, 20144 – Milan (MI), Italy, in its capacity as Data Controller
(hereinafter, the “Controller” or the “Company”), in relation to the use of cookies and other tracking technologies
on the website www.marcodimarzio.com (hereinafter, the “Website”).

For further information on how we process personal data, please refer to our Privacy Policy.

For data protection matters, you can contact us at:

1. What cookies are

Cookies are small text files that websites visited by the user send to the user’s device (computer, smartphone, tablet),
where they are stored and then sent back to the same websites upon subsequent visits.

In addition to cookies, the Website may use:

• pixels;
• tags;
• other equivalent tracking technologies (e.g. local storage, third-party scripts).

In this Cookie Policy, these tools are collectively referred to as “cookies”.

Cookies allow the Website to function efficiently, remember user preferences and collect information for statistical
or advertising purposes.

2. Types of cookies used on the Website

The Website may use the following categories of cookies:

2.1 Technical (necessary) cookies

Technical cookies are essential for the proper operation of the Website and for providing the service requested by
the user (for example, storing cookie preferences, accessing restricted areas, ensuring secure browsing).

These cookies do not require the user’s consent. The legal basis is the Controller’s
legitimate interest and/or the performance of a contract or pre-contractual measures.

Examples of technical cookies:

• Cookies used to store your cookie preferences.
• Session cookies used to manage navigation or the shopping cart (if an e-commerce section is available).

2.2 Functionality cookies (optional)

Functionality cookies allow the Website to remember certain choices made by the user (for example, language,
geographical area, display settings) and provide enhanced, customised features.

The use of these cookies is based on the user’s consent, which is requested via the cookie banner
and/or the consent management panel.

2.3 Analytics (statistical) cookies

Analytics cookies collect information, in aggregated and where possible anonymised form, about how users use the Website,
such as:

• number of visitors;
• most visited pages;
• time spent on the Website;
• source of traffic.

If analytics cookies are configured so that they do not allow the identification of the user
(for example, by anonymising IP addresses and aggregating data) and are used solely for aggregated statistics,
they may be treated as technical cookies. Otherwise, they require the user’s consent.

The Website may use third-party analytics tools (e.g. web analytics platforms), according to the
configurations adopted by the Controller.

2.4 Profiling and marketing cookies (optional)

Profiling and marketing cookies are used to:

• create user profiles;
• deliver advertising messages in line with the preferences expressed by the user while browsing;
• analyse user behaviour, including across different websites (retargeting/remarketing).

This category includes, for example:

• cookies set by advertising platforms;
• cookies used by social networks (e.g. Meta/Facebook) for behavioural advertising;
• cookies linked to pixels or tags used for marketing campaigns.

The use of profiling cookies always requires the user’s prior, specific consent.

3. Third-party cookies

While browsing the Website, the user may also receive cookies on their device that are managed by
third parties (so-called “third-party cookies”).

This happens, for example, when the Website includes:

• embedded content from other websites (e.g. videos, forms, sharing buttons);
• scripts or tags provided by analytics or advertising platforms;
• pixels used for social media campaigns.

These third parties act as independent data controllers with respect to the data collected through
their cookies. For more information on how these third parties process personal data, please refer to their own
privacy and cookie policies, which can usually be accessed through links in the cookie banner/management panel
or on their respective websites.

4. List of cookies used by the Website

The up-to-date list of cookies used by marcodimarzio.com is made available through the
cookie management panel, which can be accessed:

• via the cookie banner displayed on your first visit; and
• at any time via the “Cookie settings” (or similar) link in the footer of the Website.

In the panel, you can view, for each cookie or cookie category:

• Cookie name;
• Provider / domain;
• Purpose;
• Retention period;
• Category (technical, functional, analytics, marketing).

We encourage you to check the panel periodically to see the cookies that are actually active on the Website.

5. Legal basis for processing via cookies

Depending on the type of cookie, the processing of personal data is based on different legal grounds:

• Technical cookies: the Controller’s legitimate interest and/or necessity to perform
  a contract or pre-contractual measures (Article 6(1)(b) and (f) of the GDPR).
• Functionality cookies, non-anonymised analytics cookies, marketing and profiling cookies:
  the user’s consent (Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR), obtained via the cookie banner/management panel.

Providing consent is optional. If you do not give your consent:

• technical cookies will continue to operate;
• non-technical cookies (functional, non-anonymised analytics, marketing, profiling) will be
  blocked or disabled.

6. Managing consent and changing your preferences

On your first visit to the Website, a cookie banner will appear, which:

• informs you that the Website uses cookies;
• allows you to accept all cookies;
• allows you to refuse non-essential cookies;
• allows you to manage your preferences granularly through a dedicated panel.

At any time, you can:

• change the choices you previously made by using the “Cookie settings”
  (or similarly named) link available in the footer of the Website;
• withdraw your consent previously given, by using the cookie management panel.

You can also manage cookies through your browser settings (see section 7), bearing in mind that doing so may
affect not only optional cookies but also technical cookies necessary for the proper functioning of the Website.

7. How to disable cookies via your browser

You can allow, block or delete cookies (in whole or in part) by adjusting the settings of your browser.
The steps vary depending on the browser used.

By way of example:

8. Transfer of personal data outside the European Union

Data collected through cookies (particularly third-party cookies) may be transferred to countries outside
the European Economic Area (EEA), where the servers or offices of the service providers are located.

In such cases, the transfer will take place:

• to countries for which the European Commission has issued an adequacy decision, or
• on the basis of appropriate safeguards (such as Standard Contractual Clauses – “SCCs”),
  or other safeguards provided for by the GDPR.

Further details can be found in the privacy/cookie policies of the relevant third-party providers,
accessible from their websites or via the cookie management panel.
