Third-Party Cookies
In the course of browsing the website, users may receive cookies from different websites or
from web servers (so-called “third-party” cookies) on their terminals: this happens because
the website may contain elements such as, for example, images, maps, sounds and specific
links to web pages of other domains that reside on servers other than the one on which the
requested page is located. In other words, these cookies are set directly by managers of
websites or servers other than those of the website.
These cookies can be sent to the user’s browser by third-party companies directly from their
websites which can be accessed by browsing from the Foodlab Website. In such cases,
Foodlab is not involved in the operation of these cookies, the sending of which is the
responsibility of such third-party companies. This is in fact clarified by the Privacy Guarantor:
“The obligation to inform the user about the use of cookies and to possibly acquire prior
consent lies with the operator of the website that uses them, as the data controller. If a
website also allows the transmission of “third-party” cookies, the information and the
acquisition of consent are normally the responsibility of the third party. The user must be
adequately informed, albeit with the simplified procedures provided for by law, when
accessing the website that allows the storage of third-party cookies, or when accessing the
contents provided by third parties and in any event before cookies are downloaded onto their
terminal”.
Precisely for the purpose of transparency of the information requested from the operators of
the “first-party website” (i.e. the website as managed by Foodlab”) where “third-party
cookies” operate, we inform you that the following third-party cookies are operational on the
website:
