Cookie Policy

Although in fact the GDPR, General Data Protection Regulation, otherwise known as the European Regulation on Privacy, repeals the existing Italian Code regarding the protection of personal data (legislative decree June 30, 2003, No. 196), basically the following notes are still valid, at least in their technical parts (what are cookies, why they are used and cookies used by GUNSweek.com). Therefore, we will leave this page unchanged in substance.

Reference legislation

Pursuant to the EU Directive e-Privacy (2002/58/EC, modified 2009/136/EC) on Electronic Communications and the Italian Provision No. 229 of 8 May 2014, issued by the Italian Personal Data Protection Authority (Garante per la protezione dei dati personali, hereinafter the "Authority"), you have to be informed in order to give your consent to the use of cookies. We will refer to the Code of Personal Data Protection (Codice in materia di protezione dei dati personali, d.lg. 30 giugno 2003, n. 196, hereinafter "Codice" and particularly, articles no. 13, section 3 and no. 122, section 1).

We also invite you to visit our Privacy Policy page. Below, we will provide you with cookie information about the cookies on our GUNSweek.com website.

What are cookies and why they are used

Cookies are small text files that are sent to the user's browser by visited websites; they are stored in the user computer or mobile device to be then re-transmitted to the websites on the user's following visits to those websites.

Cookies have the core role of enhancing/enabling usability or website processes. They can offer a better user experience, allow IT authentication, monitor browsing session, store user’s configuration, collect statistical data and so on. Generally speaking, they enrich the functionality of a website.

Type of cookies

You may distinguish cookies into two major group: technical cookies and profiling cookies.

Technical cookies may be required to ensure the running and the proper operation of the website or application. Disabling cookies may prevent users from using certain websites. To this broad category, the Authority associates also the analytic cookies placed by the publisher or the manager the website (editore o gestore del sito), provided that only aggregated data are processed, as well as the functionality cookies to improve the service provided to the users (e.g. language preferences).

Users' prior consent is not necessary to install technical cookies, whilst information under article no. 13 of the Codice has to be provided in the most appropriate manner by the website manager. We at GUNSweek.com provide this information about technical cookies through the banner at the bottom of the page, at your first visit. By pressing the "OK" button on this banner, we will release to your browser a tiny cookie that will prevent us from reproposing the same banner at a later visit.

Profiling cookies are designed to collect and store information about a visitor (e.g. the pages visited, any searches done etc.) to provide focused advertising that is more likely to be of interest. Cookie profiling is a way for marketers to target potential customers.

While no prior consent is needed for technical cookies, behavioral or profiling cookies require a specific and express consent by the user. We at GUNSweek.com do not use profiling cookies. Our advertising system is driven by content, not by profilation.

Publisher and Third party cookies

Digitoolmedia Srls is the publisher of GUNSweek.com, this website. Cookies placed by the publisher or the manager of the website are defined first party cookies.

When navigating a website, a user may also receive cookies from other websites or web servers, which are the so-called third party cookies. This happens because the visited website may contain items such as images, maps, sound files, video and links to individual web pages on different domains, which are located on servers other than the one where the page being visited is stored.

Third party cookies are cookies that are placed by the managers of another website (third party) via the publisher's website. Due to technical reasons, the website publisher (manager/owned/editor) is not responsible for any third party cookies, as he cannot control over. Website at this point acts as technical intermediary and must only provide a link to the information notices and consent forms of the third parties.

GUNSweek.com cookies

As we said, we at GUNSweek.com use only technical cookies and do not use profiling cookies.

We are providing here the links to the third parties’ information notices, where you can gather all information on their privacy and cookie policy.
