Introduction: what cookies are and what they are used for

A cookie is a text file that the visited website sends to the device used by the user (e.g., computer, smartphone, tablet, etc.), where it is stored and then retransmitted to that site during a subsequent visit.

Depending on the purpose for which they are installed, cookies are defined as “technical” (cookies necessary for navigation or to provide a service requested by the user), “analytical” (cookies sometimes assimilated, from a regulatory perspective, to technical ones, used to collect information on site access, also for the purpose of statistical analysis and/or site optimization) or “profiling” (cookies aimed at creating user profiles, used to propose promotional content in line with the preferences expressed by the user while browsing online).

All the aforementioned cookies are also defined as “first-party” if installed by the owner Tessns Federico Segato s.p. (Owner of the my4garden.com site) or managed on the site [in this case: Import Irrigation Systems S.r.l., with registered office in via Salvo d'Acquisto, 5/8 – 35010 Pieve di Curtarolo (PD) Italy.

REA 375340-PD, tel. +39 049 5591020, fax +39 049 9600538, e-mail info@importirrigation.com , hereinafter referred to as "IIS s.r.l."], and “third-party” if installed by different parties.

Technical cookies, including analytical cookies assimilated to technical ones, do not require user consent to be installed. Profiling cookies and some analytical cookies not assimilated to technical ones, however, can only be installed with the user's prior consent.

This policy will describe the cookies installed by the website www.my4garden.com (the "Site"), indicating the characteristics and purpose of each.

It will also specify which cookies require user consent for installation, indicating the methods for giving and/or revoking consent, also as a result of the browser settings used by the user for navigation.
