COOKIE POLICY
Welcome to RAGGIANTI. As part of our commitment to transparency and providing you with a seamless online experience reflecting the elegance and care synonymous with our Puglian heritage, this policy explains how we use cookies and similar taechnologies on our website (RAGGIANTI.com).
We value your privacy and believe in being open about how we collect and use data. This policy provides detailed information about what cookies are, why we use them, the types of cookies we employ, and how you can manage your preferences in accordance with the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the ePrivacy Directive, and relevant Italian data protection laws concerning tracking technologies.
What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files containing a string of characters that are stored on your device (computer, tablet, smartphone) when you visit certain websites. They are widely used by website operators to make their websites work, or work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information and remember user preferences.
Cookies can be distinguished in several ways:
Session cookies: These are temporary cookies that expire once you close your web browser. They are primarily used to help you navigate the site efficiently during a single Browse session, for example, by remembering items in your shopping cart.
Persistent cookies: These cookies remain on your device for a predetermined period specified in the cookie file, or until you manually delete them. They enable us to recognize you as a returning visitor and remember your settings or preferences for subsequent visits.
First-party cookies: These are cookies set directly by the RAGGIANTI website domain (raggianti.com) that you are visiting.
Third-party cookies: These are cookies set by a domain different from the one you are visiting. This typically occurs when our website incorporates elements or services from other providers, such as analytics tools (like Google Analytics), social media plugins, or advertising networks.
Why We Use Cookies
At RAGGIANTI, we use cookies and similar technologies for several important purposes, always aiming to enhance your online experience while respecting your privacy choices and complying with legal requirements:
Ensuring Essential Website Functionality: Certain cookies are strictly necessary for the website to operate correctly. They enable core functions like page navigation, adding items to your shopping cart, accessing secure areas (like your account), maintaining session integrity, and processing payments. Without these, the website cannot function properly.
Enhancing Your Browse Experience: Functionality cookies allow our website to remember choices you make (such as your preferred language or region) and provide enhanced, more personalized features. These help make your visit smoother, more convenient, and tailored to your preferences (used only with your consent).
Improving Website Performance: Analytical and performance cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website. They collect anonymous, aggregated information about visitor numbers, traffic sources, the popularity of different pages, and how users navigate the site. This data allows us to analyze website performance and make data-driven improvements to its design, content, and overall user experience (used only with your consent).
Personalization and Relevant Marketing: Targeting or advertising cookies may be used (only with your explicit prior consent) to gather information about your Browse habits and interests. This helps us, and potentially our advertising partners, deliver content and advertisements that are more relevant to you, both on our site and possibly on other websites. These cookies can also help measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns (used only with your consent).
Types of Cookies We Use
Our website utilizes different categories of cookies, which require different levels of action from you:
1. Strictly Necessary Cookies (Always Active)
These cookies are essential for the basic operation of our website and e-commerce functions. They enable core features like site navigation, shopping cart functionality, secure checkout, and session management. The website cannot function reliably without them. Because they are essential, regulations typically do not require your prior consent for these cookies, but we inform you of their presence and purpose.
Examples typically include session ID cookies, authentication cookies, shopping cart persistence cookies, and security cookies set by the Shopify platform or essential payment gateways.
[It's recommended to consult your Shopify settings and perform a scan to list specific essential cookies accurately if needed for hyper-transparency, e.g., `_shopify_session`, `cart_sig`]
2. Performance and Analytical Cookies (Require Consent)
These cookies collect anonymous information about how visitors use our website, helping us understand traffic patterns and improve site performance. All information collected is aggregated and does not personally identify you. We only activate these cookies if you provide your explicit consent via our cookie consent tool.
Example Provider: Google Analytics.
[List specific analytical cookies used after consent, e.g., `_ga`, `_gid` set by Google Analytics script]
3. Functionality Cookies (Require Consent)
These cookies allow the website to remember choices you have made (such as language preference or region) to provide a more personalized and convenient experience. They enhance usability but are not essential for the site's core operation. We only activate these cookies if you provide your explicit consent.
Examples might include cookies remembering your preferred language or currency setting, or interface customization choices.
[List specific functionality cookies used after consent, if any beyond platform basics]
4. Targeting or Advertising Cookies (Require Consent)
These cookies track your Browse activity across websites to build a profile of your interests. They may be used by us or third-party advertising partners to show you relevant advertisements on our site or other sites. They can also help limit ad frequency and measure campaign effectiveness. We only activate these cookies if you provide your explicit prior consent.
Example Providers could include: Facebook (Meta) Pixel, Google Ads Remarketing tags.
[List specific targeting/advertising cookies used after consent, e.g., `_fbp` set by Facebook Pixel script, if applicable]
Third-Party Cookies
Please be aware that some cookies present on our site may be set and managed by third-party companies whose services we integrate (e.g., for analytics like Google Analytics, social media features, or advertising). These third parties operate under their own privacy and cookie policies, which govern how they use the information collected. We recommend you review the policies of these third parties directly. RAGGIANTI does not control the setting or data processing activities of these third-party cookies once you have consented to their use where applicable.
Managing Your Cookie Preferences
We respect your right to privacy and provide you with control over non-essential cookies. You can manage your cookie preferences in the following ways:
Our Cookie Consent Management Tool: When you first visit our website, you will encounter a cookie banner or pop-up. This tool allows you to provide or withhold consent for different categories of non-essential cookies (Performance, Functionality, Targeting). You can accept all, reject all non-essential, or customize your choices. Your preferences will be saved. You can revisit and change your consent settings at any time, typically via a dedicated link often found in the website footer, labelled something like "Cookie Settings" or "Manage Consent". [Provide the exact link or method here, e.g., Link to your Cookie Consent Management Tool].
Browser Settings: Most modern web browsers also offer controls that allow you to manage cookies directly. You can configure your browser to block some or all cookies, accept cookies only from specific websites, or delete cookies that have already been stored on your device. Please note that if you use your browser settings to block all cookies (including strictly necessary ones), you may not be able to access all or parts of our website, and some features may not function correctly. You can find instructions for managing cookies in popular browsers via their help menus or websites:
