Cookie Policy

The rules governing the use of so-called "cookies" and similar tools on terminals (personal computers, notebooks, tablet PCs, smartphones, etc.) used by users have been modified following the implementation of EEC Directive 2009/136/CE, which amended the "e-Privacy" Directive 2002/58/CE. This new Directive was transposed into Italian law by Legislative Decree no. 69 of 28 May 2012, which amended Legislative Decree no. 196 of 30 June 2003, "Code for the protection of personal data." Specifically, Article 122 of Decree 196/03 has been replaced and now states: 1. The storage of information on a contracting party's or user's terminal equipment or access to already stored information is permitted only on condition that the contracting party or user has given their consent after being informed using the simplified procedures referred to in Article 13, paragraph 3. This does not preclude any technical storage or access to already stored information if it is solely for the purpose of transmitting a communication over an electronic communications network, or to the extent strictly necessary for the provider of an information society service explicitly requested by the contracting party or user to provide such service. For the purposes of determining the simplified procedures referred to in the first sentence, the Guarantor also takes into account proposals put forward by the most representative national consumer associations and relevant economic categories, also with the aim of ensuring the use of methods that ensure the effective awareness of the contracting party or user. 2. For the purpose of expressing consent as referred to in paragraph 1, specific configurations of computer programs or devices that are easy and clear for the contracting party or user to use may be employed. Below, we wish to inform visitors to the website www.naturalshoes.it about how cookies are used.
