Information on the use of cookies and other tracking technologies
The Bottega Alcolica website, operated by FDP S.r.l., uses cookies and similar technologies to ensure the proper functioning of the website and its e-commerce services, provide features necessary for browsing and purchasing, improve the user experience and, subject to consent where required, measure website usage and the effectiveness of advertising activities.
This Cookie Policy describes the types of cookies and tracking technologies used, their purposes, the third parties that may be involved in the processing and how users can give, modify or withdraw their preferences.
Cookies and similar technologies are used in accordance with applicable data protection and electronic communications legislation, including Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (GDPR) and, where applicable, national legislation governing cookies and tracking technologies.
1. What are cookies?
Cookies are small files or text strings that a website can store on the user's device, such as a computer, smartphone or tablet, while browsing.
They may be used, for example, to maintain a browsing session, remember user preferences, enable shopping cart functionality, manage the checkout process, help ensure transaction security, obtain statistical information or measure the effectiveness of advertising activities.
Similar functions may be performed using other storage technologies, identifiers, pixels, tags and other tracking tools.
In this Policy, the term “cookies” is also used, where appropriate, to refer to similar technologies.
2. Categories of cookies used
2.1 Strictly necessary cookies
Strictly necessary cookies are essential for the operation of the website and for providing services expressly requested by the user.
They may be used, for example, to:
- maintain the browsing session;
- manage the shopping cart and checkout process;
- allow access to the user's account;
- store necessary technical settings;
- ensure website and transaction security;
- prevent fraudulent activities;
- store cookie consent preferences;
- enable the use of payment methods selected by the user.
Strictly necessary cookies and technical identifiers required to provide a service requested by the user do not require prior consent, without prejudice to the obligation to provide appropriate information.
Disabling these cookies through browser settings may affect the proper functioning of the website or prevent the use of certain features, including the purchasing process.
2.2 Analytics and measurement cookies
We use analytics tools to understand how users interact with our website and obtain information about page usage, website performance and the browsing experience.
This information helps us understand how the website is used and identify potential areas for improvement.
Where analytics tools do not meet the requirements for being treated as technical tools, they are used subject to the user's prior consent.
3. Google Analytics
Bottega Alcolica uses Google Analytics, a service provided by Google, to obtain statistical information about website usage and understand its performance.
Google Analytics may use cookies and other identifiers to provide its services.
Where required by applicable legislation and depending on the configuration adopted, Google analytics tools are managed according to the preferences expressed by the user through the website's consent management system.
Users can accept or refuse the relevant tools through the cookie banner and subsequently modify their preferences through the consent management panel available on the website.
4. Google Ads and advertising measurement
Bottega Alcolica also uses Google Ads services to promote its products and measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns.
Depending on the features enabled and the preferences expressed by the user, these services may involve the use of cookies or other identifiers for advertising measurement and, where applicable, personalised advertising.
Advertising tools that are not strictly necessary are managed through the website's consent management system and used according to the preferences expressed by the user.
Google Consent Mode distinguishes, among others, between:
ad_storage, relating to storage, including cookies, for advertising purposes;ad_user_data, relating to consent to send advertising-related user data to Google;ad_personalization, relating to consent for personalised advertising;analytics_storage, relating to storage for analytics purposes.
5. Google Consent Mode
The website may use Google Consent Mode to communicate the preferences expressed by the user through the cookie banner or consent management system to Google services.
Consent Mode works together with the website's consent management solution and adapts the behaviour of Google Analytics and Google Ads tags according to the choices made by the user.
The configuration adopted by the website therefore respects the consent preferences expressed by the user.
6. Advertising and profiling cookies
Subject to the user's consent where required under applicable legislation, the website may use cookies and other tracking technologies for advertising purposes.
These tools may be used to:
- measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns;
- attribute conversions to advertising campaigns;
- understand how users interact with advertising;
- create audience segments;
- carry out remarketing activities;
- personalise advertising where this feature is enabled and permitted by the user.
Non-essential advertising and tracking technologies are not activated without the user's consent where such consent is required.

More detailed information about the categories, providers and duration of cookies currently used on the website may be available through the cookie preferences panel.

Refusing non-essential cookies does not prevent the use of website features that do not depend on these technologies.

Withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before consent was withdrawn.
