Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains how Ferdinando Rossi, operated by CBX E-com ("we", "us", or "our"), uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit ferdinandorossi.com (the "Site"). It describes what these technologies are, why we use them, the categories we rely on, the legal basis for using them, and the choices you have to control them. We operate from Worldwide and sell and ship to customers worldwide.

This policy should be read together with our Privacy Policy, which explains in more detail how we collect, use, and protect your personal data. Where cookies collect information that can identify you, that information is handled in line with our Privacy Policy.

1. What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files that a website places on your device (computer, tablet, or smartphone) when you visit. They allow the Site to recognize your device, remember your actions and preferences over time, and function correctly. Cookies are widely used to make websites work, or work more efficiently, and to provide information to the site owner.

We also use similar technologies that serve comparable purposes, including:

  • Pixels or web beacons: tiny graphics embedded in pages or emails that record whether content was viewed or an action was taken.
  • Local storage: data stored directly in your browser to remember settings or improve performance.
  • Software development kits (SDKs) and tags: code that helps measure activity and deliver features.

Throughout this policy, we refer to all of these technologies together as "cookies".

2. How Long Cookies Last

Cookies remain on your device for different periods depending on their purpose.

  • Session cookies are temporary. They exist only while your browser is open and are deleted automatically when you close it. We use them to support essential functions during a single visit, such as keeping items in your cart.
  • Persistent cookies remain on your device after you close your browser, until they expire or you delete them. We use them to remember your preferences and to recognize you on return visits. The lifespan of each persistent cookie varies according to its function and the provider that sets it.

3. First-Party and Third-Party Cookies

Cookies can be set by us or by other companies whose services we use. The difference is who places the cookie and who can read the information it holds.

  • First-party cookies are set by Ferdinando Rossi directly. We use them to operate core features of the Site, such as keeping items in your shopping cart, remembering your preferences, and keeping your session secure.
  • Third-party cookies are set by external providers whose tools appear on or support the Site, such as analytics platforms, advertising networks, and payment processors. These providers may use the information they collect according to their own privacy and cookie policies, over which we have limited control.

4. Categories of Cookies We Use

We group the cookies we use into four categories based on their purpose.

a) Strictly necessary cookies. These cookies are essential for the Site to function and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are usually set only in response to actions you take, such as logging in, adding products to your cart, or completing checkout. Their purposes include:

  • Maintaining your session and keeping you signed in as you move between pages.
  • Remembering the contents of your shopping cart.
  • Processing orders and enabling secure payment.
  • Protecting the Site against fraud and security threats, and balancing traffic loads.

Because these cookies are required for the Site to work, they do not rely on your consent, and disabling them will prevent parts of the Site from operating.

b) Functional or preference cookies. These cookies allow the Site to remember choices you make and provide enhanced, personalized features. Their purposes include:

  • Remembering your preferred language, country, or display region.
  • Storing your currency preference.
  • Retaining settings such as recently viewed products or wishlist items.

If you disable these cookies, some features may not work as smoothly and you may need to re-enter certain preferences on each visit.

c) Analytics or performance cookies. These cookies help us understand how visitors interact with the Site by collecting information on an aggregated, and usually anonymous, basis. Their purposes include:

  • Counting visits and traffic sources so we can measure and improve performance.
  • Identifying which pages are most and least popular.
  • Seeing how visitors move through the Site and where they encounter problems.
  • Testing different versions of pages to improve the shopping experience.

If you disable these cookies, we will not know when you have visited and will have less insight to improve the Site, but your ability to browse and shop will not be affected.

d) Marketing or advertising cookies. These cookies are used to deliver advertising that is more relevant to you and to measure the effectiveness of our marketing. They are often set by advertising partners through our Site. Their purposes include:

  • Building a profile of your interests to show relevant ads on other websites and social platforms.
  • Limiting the number of times you see an advertisement.
  • Measuring the performance of advertising campaigns and retargeting visitors who viewed products but did not purchase.

If you disable these cookies, you will still see advertising, but it will be less tailored to your interests.

5. Third-Party Services and Examples

We work with trusted third parties whose cookies may be set through the Site. The specific providers can change over time, but they generally fall into these groups:

  • Payment processors: to authorize transactions, verify cards, and prevent fraud during checkout (for example, providers such as major card networks, digital wallets, and gateway services).
  • Analytics providers: to measure Site traffic and performance (for example, web analytics platforms that report visits and behavior in aggregate).
  • Advertising and social pixels: to deliver and measure marketing across search engines, social networks, and advertising networks (for example, conversion pixels and retargeting tags).
  • Hosting, e-commerce, and content delivery platforms: to operate the store, host content, and deliver pages quickly and securely.
  • Customer support and messaging tools: to power live chat, help widgets, and email communication.

Each third party processes information under its own privacy and cookie policies. We encourage you to review those policies to understand how your data is used by them.

6. Legal Basis and Your Consent (EU and UK)

If you are located in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or another region with similar rules, we apply the following standards.

  • European Economic Area: we handle cookies in line with the ePrivacy Directive (often called the "EU Cookie Law") and the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
  • United Kingdom: we handle cookies in line with the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR) and the UK GDPR.

Under these rules, we place strictly necessary cookies on the basis that they are required to provide the service you request, so they do not need your consent. For all other cookies (functional, analytics, and marketing), we ask for your consent before they are set. That consent is:

  • Prior: non-essential cookies are not placed until you have given consent.
  • Informed and specific: we tell you what each category does before you decide.
  • Freely given and granular: you can accept or reject each category separately, and rejecting is as easy as accepting.
  • Withdrawable: you can change or withdraw your consent at any time, with no effect on the lawfulness of processing carried out before you withdrew it.

Where you have consented to non-essential cookies, that consent is the legal basis for using them. Where our analytics or security processing does not rely on consent, we rely on our legitimate interest in operating, securing, and improving the Site, and we still give you the ability to opt out of non-essential cookies.

7. How to Manage or Disable Cookies

You have several ways to control cookies.

Consent banner. When you first visit the Site, and where required by the laws that apply to you, we display a cookie banner or preference tool. You can use it to accept all cookies, reject non-essential cookies, or set your preferences by category. You can return to this tool at any time to review or change your choices. Strictly necessary cookies are always active because the Site cannot function without them.

Browser settings. Most web browsers let you view, manage, block, and delete cookies through their settings. You can usually find these controls in the "Settings", "Preferences", or "Privacy" section of your browser. Common options include:

  • Deleting cookies already stored on your device.
  • Blocking all cookies or only third-party cookies.
  • Setting the browser to warn you before a cookie is stored.
  • Using private or incognito browsing modes.

The help function within your browser, or the support pages of your browser provider, explains how to adjust these settings on both desktop and mobile devices.

Opt-out and device controls. Some analytics and advertising providers offer their own opt-out tools, and industry programs allow you to manage interest-based advertising across multiple companies at once. On mobile devices, you can also adjust advertising identifiers and tracking permissions in your device settings.

Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control. Some browsers can send a "Do Not Track" (DNT) or "Global Privacy Control" (GPC) signal. Because there is no single, universally agreed standard for how sites must respond to DNT, we treat these signals as a preference and honor recognized opt-out signals where the applicable law requires us to do so.

8. Consequences of Disabling Cookies

You are free to refuse or delete cookies, but doing so may affect your experience on the Site. Depending on which cookies you disable, you may find that:

  • Core features such as the shopping cart, checkout, or login do not work correctly.
  • Your preferences, including language and currency, are not remembered between visits.
  • Some pages load more slowly or display incorrectly.
  • Advertising you see becomes less relevant to your interests.

Blocking strictly necessary cookies in particular may make it impossible to complete a purchase.

9. International Visitors

Because we serve customers around the world, the rules that apply to cookies may differ depending on where you are located. We aim to apply the protections described in this policy globally, and where local law sets a higher standard, we follow that standard for visitors in that region. Regardless of where you are, you can use the consent banner or your browser settings to control non-essential cookies.

10. Your Data Protection Rights

Where cookies collect personal data, you may have rights over that data, depending on your location. These can include the right to access the data we hold, to have it corrected or deleted, to restrict or object to certain processing, and to withdraw consent. We explain these rights, and how to exercise them, in our Privacy Policy. To make a request, contact us using the details in the "Contact Us" section below.

11. Relationship to Our Privacy Policy

Cookies may collect information that relates to you as an individual. Any personal data gathered through cookies is processed in accordance with our Privacy Policy, which describes the categories of data we collect, how we use and share it, the retention periods we apply, and the rights you have over your data. Please read this Cookie Policy alongside our Privacy Policy for a complete picture.

12. Changes to This Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the technologies we use, in applicable laws, or in our business practices. When we make material changes, we will update the "Last updated" date shown at the top of this page and, where appropriate, notify you through the Site or the consent banner. The version in effect is the one published at ferdinandorossi.com as of 2026-07-07. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
