This Cookie Policy explains how Softengi uses cookies and similar technologies on softengi.com (the “Website”), what they are used for, and how you can control them. 

This Cookie Policy should be read together with our Privacy Policy, which explains how we process Personal Data more broadly.

1. What are cookies and similar technologies?

Cookies are small text files that a website stores on your device (computer, phone, tablet) when you visit. They help the website remember your preferences, keep sessions secure, and understand how the website is used.

We also use (or may use) similar technologies, such as pixels, tags, web beacons, SDKs, local storage, and other identifiers. For simplicity, this Policy refers to all such technologies as “cookies” unless stated otherwise.

2. Who sets cookies: first-party and third-party cookies

Cookies can be set by:

  1. First-party cookies – set by the Website domain (softengi.com).
  2. Third-party cookies – set by third parties whose services may be embedded or used on the Website (for example, analytics, security, video hosting, or other functionality).

3. What categories of cookies do we use?

We classify cookies into the categories below. The cookies actually used may vary over time as we improve the Website.

3.1 Strictly Necessary (Essential) cookies

These cookies are required to operate the Website and provide core functionality. They are used, for example, to:

  1. maintain secure sessions and protect against malicious activity;
  2. enable basic page navigation and load balancing;
  3. remember privacy or cookie preference choices (where applicable).

Because these cookies are essential for the Website to function, they are generally enabled by default and cannot be switched off in our systems. You can still block them via browser settings, but doing so may cause parts of the Website not to work.

3.2 Functional (Preference) cookies

These cookies improve your experience by remembering choices you make, such as language or region settings, so you do not have to re-enter them every time you visit.

3.3 Analytics / Measurement cookies

These cookies help us understand how visitors interact with the Website (for example, which pages are visited, time spent on pages, error messages, and navigation paths). We use these insights to improve Website performance and content.

Where required by applicable law (including in the EU/EEA and Italy), analytics cookies are enabled only after you provide consent.

3.4 Marketing / Advertising cookies (if used)

These cookies may be used to show you relevant information, measure campaign effectiveness, and limit how often you see a particular message. If marketing cookies are used, they are enabled only after you provide consent where required by law.

Softengi does not use cookies to sell your Personal Data. If we use marketing cookies, we do so to support communications and marketing measurement, subject to your choices and applicable law.

4. How we use cookies (purposes)

We use cookies to:

  1. keep the Website secure and operational;
  2. provide core features and remember your settings;
  3. understand and improve Website performance and user experience;
  4. (if enabled) measure marketing effectiveness and deliver relevant communications, subject to your preferences and applicable law.

5. Legal basis and consent (EU/EEA and Italy)

If you are located in the EU/EEA or Italy, cookie consent rules generally distinguish between essential cookies and non-essential cookies.

5.1 Essential cookies

Essential cookies are used to provide the Website and ensure security. These cookies are generally deployed without consent because they are necessary to provide the service you request (i.e., to make the Website work).

5.2 Non-essential cookies (analytics and marketing)

Non-essential cookies (including many analytics and marketing cookies) are enabled only after you provide consent where required. You can refuse non-essential cookies and still use the Website.

You may withdraw consent at any time by updating your cookie preferences (see Section 6). Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing before withdrawal.

6. How to manage your cookie preferences

6.1 Cookie banner and preference center 

When you first visit the Website (and periodically thereafter), you may see a cookie banner that allows you to accept all cookies, reject non-essential cookies, or customize your preferences. Where available, you can also access a cookie preference center from the Website footer or banner.

If a preference center is available, it is the most effective way to control cookies, because it applies your choices specifically to this Website.

6.2 Browser controls

Most browsers allow you to control cookies through settings. You can usually:

  1. delete cookies;
  2. block cookies from specific websites;
  3. block third-party cookies; and/or
  4. configure a browser to notify you when cookies are being set.

If you block essential cookies, parts of the Website may not function correctly.

6.3 Withdrawing consent and resetting choices

If you previously accepted non-essential cookies and later change your mind, you can withdraw consent by using the cookie preference center (where available). If no preference center is available, you can delete cookies in your browser and revisit the Website to see the banner again.

7. Cookie list (cookie inventory)

Because cookies may change as the Website evolves, we maintain a cookie inventory that describes the cookies used on the Website, including (where applicable): cookie name, provider, purpose, category, and duration.

Where a cookie preference center is available, the cookie inventory may be displayed there and kept up to date. If you cannot locate the cookie list, you may request it by contacting us at the email address below.

8. Do Not Track (DNT) and Global Privacy Control (GPC)

Some browsers and extensions transmit preference signals such as “Do Not Track” (DNT) or “Global Privacy Control” (GPC). Because signal standards vary, the Website may not respond to all signals uniformly.

Where applicable law requires recognition of opt-out preference signals for certain processing (for example, in some US jurisdictions), we will apply required handling in accordance with that law.

9. Updates to this Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in cookies used, technology, legal requirements, or business practices. When we update it, we will revise the “Last updated” date at the top of this document.
