Cookie Policy

Last updated: 23 November 2025

This Cookie Policy is an integral part of the Privacy Policy of the website The BigCig Store (hereinafter also the “Website”) managed by The BigCig di Baesso Diego (the “Controller”).

By visiting the Website or using our services, you may receive cookies and similar technologies on your device. With this document we explain which cookies we use, for what purposes and how you can manage your preferences.

1. What cookies are

Cookies are small text files that the websites visited by the user send to their terminal (computer, smartphone, tablet), where they are stored and then retransmitted to the same websites on the next visit.

Cookies make it possible, for example, to:

  • remember your browsing preferences,
  • keep the cart during the session,
  • analyse the use of the Website in aggregate form,
  • customise content and advertisements (if you consent).

In addition to cookies, the Website may use similar technologies (e.g. pixels, tags, local storage) that pursue similar purposes.

2. Types of cookies used

Based on their function, cookies can be distinguished as follows:

2.1 Technical cookies (necessary)

These are cookies that are essential for the operation of the Website and to allow you to use its basic services (e.g. navigation between pages, account login, cart management, order completion).

Without these cookies, the Website cannot function properly. For this reason, they do not require your consent. Their use is based on the legitimate interest of the Controller in ensuring the proper functioning of the Website and the security of communications.

Examples:

  • session cookies to keep the cart,
  • cookies to store the language choice,
  • security and fraud-prevention cookies.

2.2 Preference/functional cookies

These cookies allow the Website to remember certain settings and choices made by the user (e.g. language, geographical area, default shipping address) in order to offer more convenient and personalised navigation.

They are used only if you enable them via the banner or the consent management panel. The legal basis is your consent.

2.3 Statistical/analytics cookies

These cookies are used to collect information, usually in aggregate form, on how users use the Website (pages visited, time spent, links clicked, etc.).

They can be:

  • first-party (installed directly by the Controller),
  • third-party (installed by entities other than the Controller, e.g. analytics service providers).

If the information collected does not directly identify the user (through appropriate anonymisation measures), some analytics cookies may be assimilated to technical cookies. In other cases, the use of such cookies requires your consent.

Examples of tools (to be specified if you use them):
[Google Analytics / other analytics tools].

2.4 Profiling/marketing cookies

These are cookies used to:

  • show you advertising messages tailored to your interests,
  • measure the effectiveness of marketing campaigns,
  • track your browsing even on websites other than ours.

These cookies are generally third-party cookies and may involve the transfer of data to non-EU countries (e.g. the USA), in compliance with the safeguards provided for by the applicable legislation.

The installation of profiling cookies takes place only if you provide your explicit consent via the banner or the cookie management panel. You can withdraw or change this consent at any time.

Examples of tools (to be completed if you use them):
[Meta (Facebook) Pixel],
[Google Ads / YouTube],
[TikTok Pixel],
[other advertising or remarketing tools].

3. Third-party cookies

Through the Website, cookies and tracking tools of third parties may be installed, i.e. subjects other than the Controller (e.g. technology service providers, analytics platforms, social networks, advertising networks).

These third parties generally act as independent data controllers and use the data collected in accordance with their respective privacy and cookie policies, which we invite you to refer to.

By way of example, cookies attributable to the following categories of third parties may be present on the Website:

  • providers of hosting services and e-commerce platforms (e.g. Shopify),
  • providers of payment services,
  • statistics/analytics tools,
  • advertising platforms and social media.

The Controller has no direct control over individual third-party cookies: for more details on the processing methods and to manage the related consents, we invite you to consult the respective policies published on the websites of these entities.

4. Managing cookie preferences

4.1 Banner and preference centre

On your first visit to the Website, a cookie banner is displayed which allows you to:

  • accept all non-technical cookies,
  • refuse all non-technical cookies,
  • select in a granular way the categories of cookies you wish to enable.

You can change your choices at any time by accessing the cookie management panel via the appropriate link (e.g. “Cookie settings” / “Review your preferences”) in the footer of the Website.

Until you express a choice, only the technical cookies necessary for the functioning of the Website are activated.

4.2 Management via browser

You can also manage or delete cookies directly from your browser settings. Below are the links to the cookie management sections of the main browsers:

  • Chrome
  • Firefox
  • Safari
  • Edge

Through the browser you can:

  • delete all or some cookies,
  • block third-party cookies,
  • block cookies from a specific website,
  • set automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser.

Please note that disabling technical cookies may affect the proper functioning of the Website.

5. Transfers of data outside the EU

The use of certain third-party cookies (e.g. analytics or marketing tools) may involve the transfer of your personal data to countries outside the European Economic Area, in particular to the United States.

In such cases, the transfer takes place in compliance with Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (GDPR) and adequacy decisions or, in their absence, on the basis of appropriate safeguards (e.g. standard contractual clauses) adopted by the providers involved.

Further details are available in the privacy policies of individual third parties and in our Privacy Policy.

6. Cookie retention period

Cookies can be:

  • session cookies: they are automatically deleted when the browser is closed;
  • persistent cookies: they remain stored until their natural expiry or until you delete them manually.

Specific retention periods may vary depending on the individual cookie and provider. In the banner or in the cookie management panel, where technically possible, the main expiry periods are indicated.

7. User rights

As a data subject, you may exercise at any time the rights provided for by the GDPR (access, erasure, restriction, objection, portability, withdrawal of consent, etc.) by contacting the Controller using the contact details indicated in our Privacy Policy.

In addition, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the competent Data Protection Authority, according to the procedures indicated on its official website.

8. Updates to this Cookie Policy

The Controller reserves the right to modify and update this Cookie Policy at any time, including as a result of regulatory changes or technical updates to the Website or the services used.

The updated version will always be published on this page and will become effective from the date of its publication. We therefore invite you to consult this section periodically.
