Cookies, Third Party Ad Networks
A web browser cookie is a small text file that is sent by a website to your computer or mobile device where it is stored by your web browser. Web browser cookies may store information such as your IP address or other identifier, your browser type, and information about the content you view and interact with on digital services. By storing such information, web browser cookies can remember your preferences and settings for online services and analyze how you use online services. Below are some common terms that may help you to better understand cookies and how they work.
- First- and third-party cookies: Whether a cookie is ‘first’ or ‘third’ party refers to the domain placing the cookie. First-party cookies are those set by a website that is being visited by the user. An example would be the cookies placed by Barilla when you visit the Barilla Website. Third-party cookies are cookies that are set by a domain other than that of the website being visited by the user. For example, if a user visits the digital services and another entity sets a cookie through our website, this would be a third-party cookie.
- Persistent cookies: These cookies remain on a user’s device for the period of time specified in the cookie. They are activated each time the user visits the website that created the particular cookie.
- Session cookies: These cookies allow website operators to link the actions of a user during a browser session. A session starts when a user opens the browser and ends when they close the browser. Session cookies are temporary, so all session cookies are deleted when the user closes the browser.
Web Beacons. Web beacons or pixel tags are small images which are embedded into the Barilla Website that provide us with information about your browser or device, or whether you open or click on the emails we send you. This information is used to help our website and app publishers better analyze and improve their services to us.
The Barilla Website uses four categories of cookies, which are explained in greater detail below.
- “Strictly Necessary” or Essential Cookies: These cookies let you navigate through the Barilla Website and use essential features like secure areas (e.g., payment activity) and shopping baskets. Without these cookies, services you request cannot be provided. These cookies do not gather any information about you that could be used for marketing or for remembering what sites you have visited on the Internet.
- Functionality Cookies. These cookies are used to provide services or remember settings that can improve your visit. Without these cookies, the Barilla Website cannot remember certain choices you have previously made or personalize your browsing experience by providing you with relevant information. These cookies can also be used to recognize your device so that you do not have to provide the same information more than once. These cookies allow the Barilla Website to remember choices you make (such as your username, language or the region you are in) and provide enhanced, more personal features. For instance, these cookies can be used to remember changes you have made to text size, fonts and other parts of digital services that you can customize.
- Performance Cookies. These cookies collect information about how you use the Barilla Website (e.g., which pages you visit and if you experience any errors). These cookies are used to help us improve and maintain our digital services, understand the interests of our users and measure the effectiveness of our advertising. The Barilla Website use Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google, Inc. (“Google”), to better assist Barilla in understanding how the digital services are used. Google Analytics will place cookies on your computer or device (identified above) that will generate information that we select about your use of digital services, including your computer or device’s IP address. That information will be transmitted to and stored by Google. The information will be used for the purpose of evaluating consumer use of the Barilla Website, compiling reports on activity on the Barilla Website for Barilla’s use and providing other services relating to activity on, and usage of, the Barilla Website. Google may also transfer this information to third parties where required to do so by law, or where such third parties process the information on Google’s behalf. The use of cookies by Google Analytics is covered by Google’s Privacy Policy, available at https://policies.google.com/privacy.]
- Targeting/Advertising Cookies. These cookies are used by third parties. These cookies allow third parties to recognize that you have visited the Barilla Website. We, and our third party service providers, also may combine information obtained from these cookies with Personal Information available from other sources, including data collected about you when you are using other websites and data collected about you offline, whether on the Barilla Website or data that the third party maintains. To opt-out of targeted advertising, you may express your preferences at www.aboutads.info. Opting out of one or more ad networks only means that those particular members no longer will deliver targeted content or ads to you. It does not mean you will no longer receive any targeted content or ads on digital services. If your browser is configured to reject cookies when you visit the opt-out page at www.aboutads.info, and then you erase your cookies, use a different computer or change web browsers, your preference may no longer be active. Since all of these cookies are managed by third parties, you should refer to the third parties’ own website privacy notifications and policies for further information.
Most web browsers are set to automatically accept cookies, but you can control and manage cookies using your browser. Please note that removing or blocking cookies can impact your experience on the Barilla Website and some functionality may no longer be available.
Do Not Track (DNT)
This is a feature used by some browsers to send a signal to websites to indicate that the browser should not be tracked, which will cause cookies used for purposes such as analytics and advertising to be disabled. As there are presently no current industry-wide uniform agreed and accepted standards on how DNT requests should be managed, currently we will not respond to any DNT signals.
Privacy Policies of Third-Party Websites
The Barilla Website may contain hyperlinks to third party websites, and while Barilla makes all reasonable efforts to hyperlink to websites that share our high standards and respect for privacy, Barilla is not responsible for the content or the privacy practices of third-party websites. As such, Barilla encourages you to review the privacy statements of websites you choose to link to from the Barilla Website so that you can understand how those websites collect, use and share your information.

For data portability requests, we will select a format to provide your Personal Information that is readily useable and should allow you to transmit the information from one entity to another entity without hindrance.
