Data Controller: Axel Carbon Capital S.r.l.
Registered office: Via Australia 29 – 00144 Rome
PEC: axelcarbon@legalmail.it

For further details on the processing of personal data and on the exercise of data subject rights, please refer to the website’s Privacy Policy.

2. What cookies are

A “cookie” is a small text file created on the user’s computer when accessing a specific website, with the purpose of storing and transmitting information. Cookies are sent from a web server (which is the computer on which the visited website is running) to the user’s browser (Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome, etc.) and stored on the user’s device; they are then sent back to the website during subsequent visits.

In addition to cookies, this website may use similar technologies, including:

  • sessionStorage (browser storage limited to the browsing session);

  • localStorage (browser storage that may persist over time until deleted by the user).

For the purposes of the applicable legislation, such tools may fall within the category of technologies for storing/accessing information on the user’s device.

3. Cookies in use

Axel Carbon uses only strictly necessary technical cookies exclusively aimed at the functioning, security, and management of interactions with the user.

3.1 Strictly necessary cookies (technical cookies)

These cookies are necessary for the proper functioning of the website and/or to ensure its security. They do not require the user’s consent.

3.2 Similar technologies (Web Storage) - and sessionStorage

In addition to cookies, the following keys have been detected in browser storage.

  • Key: _grecaptcha

  • Technology: localStorage

  • Technology: sessionStorage

  • Purpose: Stores any UTM parameters of the session to manage the source of the visit.

Compliance note: If referrer/UTM information (lastExternalReferrer*, edt_utm) is used exclusively for technical/functional purposes (e.g. correct flow management, abuse prevention, user support), it may be treated as functional/technical tools.

If, however, such information were to be used for marketing measurement, campaign attribution or non-essential statistical analysis, its activation should be managed through a preference mechanism and, where required, user consent.

4. Profiling/marketing cookies and analytics cookies

No profiling or marketing cookies are used.

The website does not set cookies intended to create user profiles or to send behavioral advertising.

Should non-strictly necessary tools be introduced in the future (e.g. non-technical analytics or marketing tools), they will be activated only following appropriate information and, where required, the collection of consent via a banner or preference panel.

5. Legal basis for processing

For strictly necessary cookies/tools: processing is necessary to ensure the functioning of the website and to provide services requested by the user (Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR) and/or for system security and abuse prevention (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR).

6. Recipients and transfers outside the EEA

Processing is carried out mainly within the European Economic Area (EEA).

Where anti-bot/anti-spam protection services provided by third parties are active (e.g. Google reCAPTCHA, as indicated by the presence of the _grecaptcha key), some technical data may also be processed by such providers and, in certain cases, transferred to third countries.

In such cases, the Data Controller adopts the safeguards provided for by Articles 44 et seq. of the GDPR (e.g. Standard Contractual Clauses and supplementary measures, where applicable).

7. How to manage or disable cookies and storage

Users may manage or delete cookies and data stored by the website through their browser settings. Typical actions include:

  • deleting website cookies;

  • deleting website data (including localStorage and sessionStorage);

  • configuring the browser to block cookies or receive a warning before they are installed.

Warning: disabling technical cookies/tools may impair the proper functioning of the website or some of its features.

8. Data subject rights

Users may exercise the rights provided for under Articles 15 et seq. of the GDPR (access, rectification, erasure, restriction, objection, portability) by contacting the Data Controller using the details provided in Section 1.

Axel will respond within one month from the date of receipt of the request; this period may be extended by a further two months in cases of particular complexity or a high number of requests.

In the event of non-compliance, the data subject may lodge a complaint with the Supervisory Authority (Data Protection Authority) pursuant to Art. 77 GDPR and bring judicial proceedings pursuant to Art. 79 GDPR.
