Do Not Track (“DNT”) is a concept promoted by certain regulatory authorities and industry groups for development and implementation of a mechanism that would allow internet users to control the tracking of their online activities across websites. Currently, various browsers (including Edge, Firefox, and Safari) offer a DNT option that allows a user to set a preference in the browser to not have his/her activities on the internet tracked. You can usually access your browser’s DNT option in your browser’s preferences. When a user’s browser is set to DNT, some cookies and other tracking technologies may become inactive, depending on how the website visited responds to DNT browser settings. At this time, our Website is configured to honor DNT signals, but please keep in mind that this technology is evolving, and there may be times when the signal is not properly recognized.

The following information refers to both the use of “cookies” and other tracking tools that may be used (except where indicated otherwise). For convenience, we will use the term “cookies” to refer to all different tracking technologies, except where expressly stated otherwise.

Information about who we are, how we process personal data, how you can contact us, and what your privacy rights are can be found in the Privacy Policy of the Site.

Pursuant to Article 13 of EU Regulation 2016/679, General Data Protection Regulation (the “Regulation”) and Directive 58/2002 as subsequently amended and supplemented, Geox S.p.A., as the Data Controller (“Geox” or the “Company”), provides the following information.

Cookies are text files that are sent by a web server (i.e., the computer in which the website visited is “hosted”) to the user’s browser (Microsoft Edge, Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome, Opera, Safari, etc.) and are stored on the fixed or mobile device used for browsing. The cookie allows the Site to identify the user’s device, through the information stored in it, whenever the user reconnects to the Site through that device. 

Through the use of cookies (or other tracking tools), it is possible for us to make it easier for you to navigate within the Site, as well as to analyze your preferences and tastes by verifying your browsing (profiling activities), and consequently to offer promotions of products and services that are more consistent with your interests and expectations (e.g., by having advertisements displayed in line with your interests).

Cookies can either be “session” cookies (when they are only stored for as long as the website browsing session lasts and are deleted when the browser is closed), or “permanent” cookies (when they are stored for a longer period of time, until they expire or are deleted by the user). Further, cookies or other tracking tools may be either “first-party” tools (when they are created and used only by the owner of the website that issued them and are not transferred to third parties) or “third-party” tools (when they are issued and managed by persons other than Geox).

An example of other tracking tools are “tracking pixels,” small snippets of code embedded in the website that, once downloaded to the user’s browser, allow the social media provider (e.g., Facebook, Instagram, tiktok) to monitor the user’s session, collecting data for user analysis and profiling purposes.

Cookies and tracking tools do not collect directly identifying information about you.

Cookies and technical or necessary tools

These are the cookies used in order to ensure the navigation and thus the telematic transmission of data on the network or that are strictly necessary for the provision of services provided by the Site.

These cookies can be either first-party or third-party cookies and do not require the acquisition of prior and express consent from the user as they are strictly necessary to provide the service requested by the user of the Site. 

Statistical cookies 

Analytical cookies, including third-party cookies, allow us to understand how users use the site. No information directly traceable to your identity and personal information is collected with these cookies. The information collected is normally processed in aggregate and anonymous form through the use of partial IP obfuscation mechanisms; these cookies, in the presence of other security and minimization measures for processing, are equated with technical cookies and do not require the acquisition of prior user consent.

If, for example, such obfuscation mechanisms are not present instead, the use of these cookies will require the user’s express and informed consent. 

Personalization cookies

So-called personalization cookies permit the recording of user preferences while using the Site (e.g., the language chosen and the country of interest) or facilitate the user’s navigation within the Site (e.g., by remembering the data provided by the user when filling in forms on the Site (so called user input cookies), recognizing the user after he/she has logged in to the Site (so-called authentication cookies); these are tools that are not strictly necessary for browsing the Site and if retained even after the browser is closed require the acquisition of prior and express consent from the user. Such cookies can be either first-party or third-party. 

Profiling (or marketing) cookies

These are the cookies aimed at creating profiles related to the user, for example, in order to send advertising messages consistent with the user’s preferences (e.g., thanks to the use of these cookies, the user will be able to view advertising content of the products for which he/she has expressed an interest on other sites as well). They can be either first- or third-party; session or permanent.

Other tracking tools (e.g., Facebook’s pixels) also work in similar ways (e.g., allowing the user to display advertisements on the social network, or to remember that the user has visited the Site).

The use of these cookies and tools requires the express and informed consent of the user. Consent will only be required when you first access the Site: thereafter, through the use of a technical cookie, we will store your consent to allow you to access the Site pages directly when you return. It is understood that your consent may be revoked at any time in the manner specified in Section 3 of the Cookie Policy.

No other profiling tools are used in the absence of user consent (e.g., spyware).

Third-party cookies

The Site uses both so-called “first-party” cookies and tracking tools, i.e., issued by Geox and the Site, and so-called “third-party” cookies and tracking tools (e.g., Google Analytics; Social Network cookies; etc.), i.e., tools that are issued and managed by parties other than Geox.

On the Site you can also find social buttons/widgets (social plug-ins), which are those special “buttons” depicting the icons of social networks such as Facebook, instagram, X, etc. These buttons allow users who are browsing the Site to reach and, and, in some cases, to interact with a “click” directly with social networks. For more information, see Section 8.

When you access the Site, you will see a “banner” warning about cookies and other tracking tools that may be used.

The banner provides concise information to enable the user to understand what cookies/tools are used and for what purposes; in addition, using the “settings” button the user can also check in detail what types of cookies and tools are used.

The user can then freely choose whether and which cookies and other tracking tools to allow.

We will capture whether user has given or denied consent to allow direct access to the pages of the Site without having to display the “banner” again, except in particular cases (e.g., if user deletes cookies, if it is necessary to update users about the cookies used, etc.).

• Consent can be revoked at any time simply by (i) selecting the “Cookie Management” link at the bottom of each page of the Site (the command allows you to redisplay the banner with the possibility of updating your consent), or (ii) accessing this Cookie Policy found in the privacy section of the Site and accessible by selecting the “Privacy” link at the bottom of each page of the Site (information regarding consent given/denied with the possibility of modifying the choices made is available in section 8).

Your consent applies to the following websites: www.geox.com

You can in any case disable/enable or delete cookies at any time by use of your web browser settings. In particular, if you do not wish to receive cookies, you can set your browser to alert you to the presence of a cookie so that you can decide whether or not to accept it; you can also automatically reject all cookies by activating the appropriate option in your browser. You can also delete specific cookies that have already been stored within your browser, or block specific websites from storing cookies on your computer, or block third-party cookies.

Each browser (Firefox, Chrome, Edge, Safari, Opera, etc.) has its own cookie management methodology: in the settings or preferences panel it is possible to change/manage the parameters related to cookies and/or proceed to their deletion.

To do so, it is necessary to consult the information in the browser’s User’s Guide ( Help Page) or click on the following links:

• Edge
• Chrome
• Firefox
• Safari
• Opera

You can also manage your cookie preferences at http://www.youronlinechoices.com.  

The data collected through cookies and other tracking tools will not be disclosed to the public and will be processed by specifically authorized persons within Geox (specifically the CRM, e-commerce, Marketing, Information Technology function).

In order to manage the Site and, if you provide your consent, to review your preferences and browsing, and to enable you to view content and promotional ads that may be of interest to you, the data will be processed by (i) companies in charge of managing the Site and (ii) IT service providers. These individuals will act as Data Processors designated by Geox.

5.1 Social networks

Data related to navigation within the Site may in some cases be transmitted to social networks (such as Facebook, instagram, tiktok, etc. -- see the table below for the list of social networks that interface with the Site). In general, the interaction between a site and the social network is used, for example, to:

(i) allow you to login using the social network (e.g., when you choose to login to your private area of the Site using Facebook, there is an exchange of data between the social network and the Site to allow user recognition and authentication);

(ii) allow sharing of content on social (e.g., if you use the sharing feature -- so-called social plug-ins -- you will be able to post, and thus share, within your social profile content of interest);

(iii) have promotional and advertising content displayed when visiting social networks (e.g., the social network may display advertisements related to the Geox brand and products that were viewed within the Site). This can occur mainly in two ways:

    a. a.     data relating to the user’s navigation within the Site and collected by means of cookies or other tracking tools will be shared with the social network which, by identifying the user, will display advertising content to the user, then providing Geox with statistics on the advertising campaigns carried out;

    b. a.     if the user has provided his or her e-mail address, the data can be exchanged (in encrypted and protected mode) with the social network which, by identifying the user by e-mail, will display advertising content to him or her, then providing Geox with statistics on the advertising campaigns carried out. 

For such processing, social networks will process the data -- as joint controllers (Art. 26 GDPR) or of autonomous data controllers -- to the extent necessary to enable, for example, Geox-related news/advertising to be displayed. 

The following is some information regarding the processing carried out social network data within the Site:

• Meta (e.g. facebook, instagram)

The joint data controller is Meta Platforms Ireland Ltd. 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland.

A joint controllership agreement (Art. 26 of the Regulation) governs the processing of personal data carried out by means of the tracking tools provided by Meta and present on the Site: the agreement defines the respective responsibilities regarding compliance with the obligations under the Regulation in relation to joint processing. A copy of the agreement is available at the following link: https://it-it.facebook.com/legal/controller_addendum (by selecting your language at the bottom of the page).

Meta, on the other hand, is the autonomous owner of the user data processing carried out subsequently. As the controller, Meta is responsible for providing the data subjects with information about the processing carried out or allow them to exercise their privacy rights (Art. 15 - 20 of the Regulation).

The Site uses cookies and Meta tracking tools (e.g., pixels) to (i) have users display personalized promotional and advertising content, (ii) provide statistical reports on advertising campaigns and users’ browsing of the Site, and (iii) improve the publication of content on the Site.

For these purposes, data related to your browsing within the Site and collected through cookies or other tracking tools are shared with Meta.

Details on how Meta processes data, the relevant legal basis for processing, and how you can exercise your privacy rights recognized by the Regulation against Meta are available at https://www.facebook.com/privacy/policy/?entry_point=data_policy_redirect&entry=0.

Facebook’s Data Protection Officer (the Data Protection Officer) can be contacted at: https://www.facebook.com/help/contact/540977946302970

• Pinterest

The data controller is Pinterest Europe Limited, located at 2nd Floor, Palmerston House, Fenian Street, Dublin 2, Ireland.

The Site uses cookies and tracking tools from Pinterest (e.g., pixels) to (i) have users display personalized promotional and advertising content, (ii) provide statistical reports on advertising campaigns and users’ browsing of the Site, and (iii) improve the publication of content on the Site.

For these purposes, data related to your browsing within the Site and collected through cookies or other tracking tools are shared with Pinterest.

Details of the data privacy agreement with Pinterest can be viewed at Exhibit B at the following link: Pinterest Business

More information about the processing carried out by Pinterest is available at: Privacy Policy | Pinterest Policy (by selecting your language in the-eea

 footer of the page). The Pinterest Data Protection Officer can be contacted at the following link: Contact form of the data protection officer | Pinterest Help (by selecting your language in the footer of the page)

• TikTok

TikTok Technology Limited (an Irish company) and TikTok Information Technologies UK Limited (a UK company) are the joint data controllers.

The Site uses TikTok tracking tools (e.g., pixels) to (i) display customized promotional and advertising content to users, (ii) provide statistical reports on advertising campaigns and users’ browsing of the Site, (iii) improve the publication of content on the Site.

For these purposes, data relating to the user’s navigation within the Site and collected through tracking tools are shared with TikTok.

More information on the processing carried out by TikTok is available at: Data Protection Policy | TikTok

The TikTok Data Protection Officer can be contacted at the following link: Contact the Data Protection Officer (tiktok.com)

For more information on the processing carried out by social networks, please also check the privacy policy provided by the social network (also, by using the “Cookie Management” link found on all screens of the Site, you can view the list of cookies/tracking tools used on the Site and the relevant links to their respective policies).

Writing to privacy@geox.com, you may at any time exercise your rights under Articles 15 to 22 of the Regulation, including accessing your data, updating it, requesting its deletion, requesting copies, revoking your consents or objecting to its processing. 

Read in detail about your privacy rights.

Data collected through the Site are generally not transferred abroad, as processing is done through providers using servers located in the European Union (or European Economic Area).

In contrast, data collected using cookies and other tracking tools -- particularly from Social Networks -- may be transferred outside the European Union (e.g., data collected through Facebook’s tracking tools are subject to transfer). The applicable privacy legislation provides that specific consent to the transfer is not required when the transfer is made to a country that provides an adequate level of protection (Article 45 of the Regulation) or on the basis of the adoption of appropriate safeguards (Articles 46 and 47 of the Regulation), and in particular on the basis of the adoption of binding rules for groups of companies or the adoption of contractual clauses approved by the European Commission: the transfer of data collected through cookies/tracking tools is governed by these contractual clauses (e.g., https://www.facebook.com/help/566994660333381?ref=dp).

By simple request to privacy@geox.com you will be able to receive more information about the transfer of data and the guarantees provided for their protection as well as the means of obtaining such data or the place where they have been made available.

The filling in of the questionnaire under the “Feedback” section does not imply the collection of any personal details. Your data will be collected only if you provide it voluntarily during the survey.
