Introduction

• This cookie policy contains important information on the various types of cookies that could be installed on your devices when you visit www.harmonizseed.com. In accordance with the European Regulation on the protection of personal data 2016/679, cookies constitute personal data when they can be associated with a device and therefore with an identifiable person.

• Cookie are small text files that the visited websites send to the terminal (PC, tablet, smartphone, notebook) which are stored to then be retransmitted to the same websites on the next visit. There are various cookies that contain various information (e.g. authentication of digital information, session monitoring, memorization of preferences to send advertising messages, etc.).

  Each cookie, in turn, contains various data (e.g. the name of the server of origin, a numerical identifier, etc.). This data can remain in the user’s device for various periods of time, such as a browser session, a few hours, several days or longer periods.

  They are used to carry out digital authentication, session monitoring and to store information in the websites. While browsing a website, the user may also receive Cookies on his or her device that are sent from different websites or web servers (“third parties”), on which some elements may reside (such as, for example, images, maps, sounds, specific links to pages on other domains) present on the website that the user is browsing. ​ ​

  
  The Harmoniz website uses TECHNICAL Cookies​. These Cookies allow easy use of the website for the user and make it easier for him or her to find information, simplifying the connection and the transmission of data between user and website. Their purpose is for browsing or for providing a service requested by the user. They are not used for further purposes. Technical cookies are required for the website to work properly. Without using these cookies, some operations may not be completed or they could be more complex and/or less secure. Therefore, technical cookies are indispensable. Technical cookies do not require the user’s consent in that they are necessary for the website to work correctly. Specifically, we use browsing or temporary and permanent session Cookies which guarantee normal browsing and use of the website, allowing, for example, information inherent to browsing to be saved, data to be stored to keep the browsing session active and/or to save information inherent to the “full screen” on/off settings in browsing the website

• We also use analytics Cookies (Google Analytics) to gather information on the use of our website. These Cookies, comparable to the technical Cookies, are treated in aggregate form to monitor the most visited areas of the website, improve website content, facilitate use and monitor correct operation of the website.

  The analytics Cookies used are set up by a website other than the one the user is visiting. This is because there are elements on every website (images, maps, sounds, specific links to web pages on other domains, etc.) which reside on servers other than the one of the visited website. We allow third parties to use our analytics Cookies on our website for the purpose of saving information in anonymous form preparatory to the creation of reports on browsing of the website. ​​               

  If you do not want your information to be used by Google Analytics, you can install browser add-ons in accordance with the methods described by Google at the following address: ​
  
  https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout
  
  The installation of these add-ons prevents Google’s JavaScript code (ga.js and dc.js) in execution on a website to share the information on your activity when you visit our website with Google Analytics.​​​
