Cookie policy
Extended cookie notice pursuant to Article 122 of Italian Legislative Decree 196/2003, to the Italian Data Protection Authority’s Guidelines of 10 June 2021 and to Articles 13 and 14 of Regulation (EU) 2016/679
This website uses first-party technical cookies and, only with the user’s consent, Google Analytics statistics cookies. There are no profiling cookies, no tracking pixels and no marketing or advertising tools.
What cookies are
Cookies are small text files that the websites you visit store on your device and that are sent back to the site on your next visit. They make a website work, remember your preferences or — in other contexts — follow your behaviour for advertising purposes. Alongside cookies, the law also covers equivalent techniques that store information on your device, such as the browser’s local storage.
Types of cookie used
Data protection rules distinguish technical cookies, which are necessary to deliver the service the user has asked for, from profiling cookies, which build a picture of habits and preferences in order to serve targeted advertising. This website uses first-party technical cookies, set directly by the website’s own domain, which require no consent, and third-party analytics cookies (Google Analytics), set only after consent is given with the “Accept” button. It uses no profiling cookies.

Third-party resources
Apart from Google Analytics, which is loaded only after consent, this website embeds no third-party resource capable of tracking or profiling the user. In particular:
- typefaces are hosted on this website’s own servers: no request is made to external font services;
- scripts and stylesheets are served from this website’s domain: no external content delivery network (CDN) is involved;
- the three-dimensional product viewer and the models it displays are hosted on this website;
- there are no interactive maps, embedded videos, social buttons or widgets, or third-party forms;
- the links to Mital’s social profiles in the footer are plain text links: they load nothing and set no cookie until you click them;
- no remarketing or advertising system is installed, and no statistics system other than Google Analytics.
For users who do not give consent, the only traffic information collected consists of the server’s technical logs, described in the privacy notice.
Google Analytics
Google Analytics 4 is a statistics service provided by Google Ireland Limited (Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland). On this website it is configured to collect as little as possible: Google Signals and ad personalisation are disabled, and Google Analytics 4 does not log or store the IP addresses of users in the European Union. Data may be transferred to Google LLC in the United States, which participates in the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework, found adequate by the European Commission in its decision of 10 July 2023. Further information: Google’s privacy policy and data protection in Google Analytics. You can also install the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on.
Legal basis and consent
Technical cookies require no prior consent (Article 122 of Italian Legislative Decree 196/2003): the legal basis is the performance of the service requested by the user together with the Controller’s legitimate interest (Art. 6.1.f GDPR).
Google Analytics statistics cookies are set only with the user’s consent (Article 122 of Italian Legislative Decree 196/2003 and Art. 6.1.a GDPR), given with the “Accept” button in the notice shown on the first visit. The “Reject” button, which carries the same weight, lets you keep browsing with no statistics cookie set and no Google script loaded. The notice also has an “X” in the top right corner, which closes it without giving consent, and a “Customise” button to choose individual cookie categories. Your choice is remembered for 6 months and can be changed at any time through the “Cookie preferences” link at the bottom of every page: withdrawal takes effect immediately and deletes the Google Analytics cookies, without affecting the lawfulness of processing carried out before it.
How to manage or delete cookies
You can block cookies or delete those already stored at any time through your browser settings:
Disabling technical cookies does not prevent you from browsing the website, but it may affect some features: for instance, your chosen language will not be remembered and the cookie notice will reappear on every visit.
