Cookie policy

The protection of your personal data is of particular concern to us. We therefore process your data exclusively based on the statutory provisions (GDPR, TKG 2003). In this data protection information, we inform you about the most important aspects of data processing on our website.

When you visit or interact with our web sites, services, apps, tools, or messaging systems, we or our authorized service providers may use cookies, web beacons and other similar technologies for advertising purposes and to store information to offer you a better, faster and safer user experience.

The purpose of this page is to provide more information about the technologies used and how they are used on the website and in our services, apps, and tools. Below you will find a summary of some important aspects to consider regarding the use of these technologies, as well as the full text of our privacy policy.

Our cookies and similar technologies serve various functions. They help our services to run smoothly, allow us to improve performance, provide additional features or enable us to provide you with advertising that is in line with your interests. We use cookies and similar technologies that remain on your device only for the period of activity of the browser (session cookies) or for a longer period (persistent cookies). You can block them, delete them, or disable them if your device allows it. You can manage cookies and cookie preferences in the device or browser settings.

Where possible, security measures are implemented to prevent unauthorized access to cookies and similar technologies. A unique code ensures that only we and/or our authorized service providers can gain access to the data collected by cookies. Regarding personal data processing in relation to the cookies placed directly by us, the Data Controller is Eni S.p.A. Regarding personal data processing in relation to the cookies placed by third parties, each third party is an independent Data Controller.

Service providers are companies that support us in various aspects of our activities, dealing, for example, with website operations, services, apps, advertising, and website tools. We use our authorized service providers to offer advertising in line with your interests on our services and other Internet pages. These service providers may place cookies on the user's device via our services (third party cookies). They may also obtain information that allows them to identify the user's device, such as the IP address or other unique or device codes.

Below is the required information that must be included on internet sites that manage cookies.

      1. What are cookies, web beacons and similar technologies

Like most websites, we use small data files that are saved on the user's computer, tablet, mobile phone or other mobile device (collectively referred to as "device") to record certain data each time you log in or interacts with our websites, services, or tools.

The specific names and types of cookies, web beacons and other similar technologies that are used can change over time. To help you better understand the policy and use of these technologies, here are some terms with their definitions:

Cookies: small text files (typically made up of letters and numbers) that are stored in the memory of your browser or device when you visit a website or view a message. Cookies allow a website to recognize a particular device or browser. There are different types of cookies:

• Session Cookies expire at the end of the browser session and allow us to connect the actions of the user during that specific session.
• Persistent Cookies remain stored on the user's device even after the end of the browser session and allow us to remember your preferences or actions across multiple sites.
• Proprietary Cookies are placed by the website you are visiting.
• Third-party Cookies are placed by a third-party website that is not the site you are visiting.

Cookies can be disabled or removed using the tools available in most browsers. Cookie preferences must be set separately for each browser used, since each one offers specific features and options.

Web Beacon: small images, also known as "pixel tags" or "clear GIFs", which we may include in our websites, services, apps, messages, and tools. Generally, they work with cookies to identify our users and their activities.

Similar technologies: technologies that store data in the browser or device using objects shared or stored locally, such as flash cookies, HTML 5 cookies and other software methods for web applications. These technologies work in all browsers. In some cases, the use of local storage cannot be fully handled by the browser, but needs to be managed with special tools. We do not use these technologies to store information useful for creating targeted advertising on our or other websites.

The terms „Cookies“ and „similar technologies“ can be used interchangeably in this policy with reference to all technologies used to store data in your browser or your device or to the technologies that collect data or allow you to be identified as described above.

The cookies available on this website are shown below:
