COOKIE POLICY
GMT ITALIA SRL has created this Cookie Policy in order to provide the user the informations about cookies used by www. gmtitalia.com (the “Site”) and to describe the reasons and conditions of their use.
COOKIE
Cookies are small text files that are sent to the user’s device (usually to the user’s browser) from the websites visited. They are stored in the user’s device and then re-transmitted to the websites on the subsequent visits of the user to those websites. While browsing a website, a user may receive cookies from other websites or web servers, which are the so-called “third-party” cookies. This is because the visited website can contain elements such as images, maps, audio files, links to individual Web pages on different domains that are on different servers than the one in which the visited page is stored.
Cookies are usually present in substantial numbers in the browser of each user and, sometimes, remain stored for a long time. They are used for different purposes ranging from IT authentication to monitoring browsing sessions to storing specific information about user configurations accessing a particular server and so on. To regulate these devices appropriately, it is necessary to distinguish them taking into account the aims pursued by those who use them, since there are no technical features that allow them to be differentiated. This is actually the approach followed by the Italian Parliament, which imposed the obligation to obtain the informed consent of users for the installation of cookies for purposes other than those of a purely technical nature – according with the EC Directive 2009/136. From this point of view and for the purposes of this decision, cookies can be divided into two main groups: “technical” cookies and “profiling” cookies.
a. Technical cookies
Technical cookies are those used exclusively for the purpose of transmitting a communication over an electronic communication network, or those strictly necessary for a company providing an Information Technology service that has been explicitly requested by the contracting party or by the user to provide the aforementioned service. They are not used for other purposes and are usually installed directly by the data controller or the website operator. They can be grouped into:
- browsing or session cookies, which allow users to browse and use a website (for example, to make online purchases or authenticate to get access to certain sections);
- analytical cookies, which can be equated to technical cookies to the extent that they are used directly by the website operator to collect aggregate information on the number of visitors and the pattern of the visits to the website;
- functional cookies, which allow users to navigate according to certain predetermined criteria, such as language or products to purchase, in order to improve the service quality. Users’ prior consent is not required to install these cookies.
b. Profiling cookies
Profiling cookies aim at creating the user profile. They are used to send advertising messages in line with the preferences shown by the user while browsing. In light of the highly invasive nature of these cookies towards the privacy of users, Italian and European legislation require users to be appropriately informed about their use in order to give their valid consent.

LINKS TO THIRD PARTIES
On the Site it is possible also to find “buttons” that allow the visiting users to reach and interact with a “click” directly with social networks, such as Facebook, Instagram and Google+ that could, in turn, ask users for personal data. These sites follow their own privacy policy and their own conditions of use, therefore we recommend reading the Privacy Policy and the conditions of use of third party sites, as they could be very different from this Policy. The Foundation therefore declines any kind of responsibility regarding the collection and use of personal data by third party websites.
DISABLING COOKIES
To limit, block or delete cookies, it is enough to change the settings of your web browser. The procedure varies slightly according to the type of browser used. For detailed instructions, click on the link related to the browser used.

REPAIRS REGULATION
The Customer by express acceptance of the conditions at the foot of the page pursuant to art. 1341 and 1342 of the Civil Code, of the consent to privacy pursuant to art. 13 of Legislative Decree no. 196/2003 (so-called “Privacy Code”) and art. 13 of EU Regulation no. 2016/679 (so-called “GDPR”)
The object is described by the state in which it appears to the person who receives it for repair. Any description or evaluation with reduction of presumed value is excluded, for the determination of which a technical or gemological analysis is necessary. The company GMT ITALIA SRL is not liable for failure to return the object caused by events that are not attributable to it (art. 1768 and 1780 of the Civil Code) if the object is not collected within 60 (sixty) days from the date of presumed delivery or from when the customer appears to have been warned, the company GMT ITALIA SRL reserves the possibility of requesting a reimbursement of monthly storage costs (or fraction), equal to 1% of the value of the object with a monthly minimum of 13 (thirteen) EUR. We do not assume responsibility in the event of breakage during the manufacturing, setting or sizing of objects with precious stones, except for breakages resulting from and caused by incompetence, negligence or imprudence. In the event of proven responsibility of the Company GMT ITALIA srl for the failure to return the items subject to the repair carried out, they must be reported to GMT ITALIA SRL no later than two months from their discovery, and in any case within 12 months from collection of the goods. The customer acknowledges that the price due for the repair may exceed the sum indicated in the estimate by a maximum of 10% without requiring his approval of a new estimate. To increase the price by a higher percentage, GMT ITALIA SRL will instead be required to ask the Customer for express approval of the new cost estimate.
The return of the object will be returned exclusively to the Customer personally or to a person delegated by the same in writing, provided that they are equipped with the email receipt and provided that they are authorized by the Customer to issue a receipt in their name and on their behalf, in this regard the delegate is required to deliver a copy of his identity card as well as that of the Customer, which, together with the proxy, will be kept by GMT ITALIA SRL together with the coupon. GMT ITALIA SRL processes your personal data electronically to provide you with the requested services. The provision of data on your part is optional but your punctual refusal would make it impossible for the provision of services in your favor. If you consent, your data will be transmitted to third parties identified by GMT ITALIA SRL for the performance of the requested services, as well as used for promotion, commercial information and in compliance with current anti-money laundering legislation. You must request the list of data controllers, access your data, modify and delete them by contacting GMT ITALIA SRL, in the person of the CEO.
