Disclaimer

While reasonable care has been used in collecting and displaying information contained therein, Prysmian provides no express or implied warranty as to its accuracy, completeness, usefulness, use in any manner by users and disclaims any liability for errors or omissions therein. Prysmian believes that the corporate and financial information it posted was accurate as of the date that it was filed with the relevant regulatory authority or otherwise published. The posting of such information on the web should not be understood to imply that there has not been any change since the date that the information was filed or that the information is accurate as of any time subsequent to the date that it was filed or otherwise published. Moreover, a party wishing to purchase goods should not rely on it and should make specific enquiry concerning the nature of the goods and their suitability for the use to which they will be put. Most of the documents present on this website are an English translation for convenience of documents originally written in Italian. In preparing the translations, an attempt has been made to translate as literally as possible without jeopardizing the overall continuity of the text. Inevitably, however, differences may occur in translation and, if they do, the Italian text will prevail. In translations, Italian legal concepts are expressed in English terms and not in their original Italian. The concepts concerned may not be identical to concepts described by the English terms as such terms may be understood under the laws of other jurisdictions. Information may be changed or updated without notice. Prysmian may also make improvements and/or changes in the products described in this Web Site without notice. Prysmian assumes no liability, express or implied of whatsoever nature in respect of access of users to this website or use by users of any content thereof.

Cookies

A “cookie” is a small quantity of data, often contained in a unique and anonymous identification code that is sent to users’ browsers by a web server and which is subsequently memorized on the users’ hard disk. The cookie can be read and recognized only by the web site that sent it on subsequent visits. Cookies may be found in a number of areas of this web site and are used exclusively for technical purposes and/or to trace users’ use of the site. If a user prefers not to receive cookies, he may set his browsers to warn of the presence of cookies, allowing the user to decide whether to accept the cookie or not. It is also possible to automatically reject all cookies by activating this option on the browser.

Types of personal data and purposes for their processing

1) Data concerning the web-surfing

Computer systems and software procedures on which this website is based are made so that they get, during their ordinary activity, information and personal data that are later sent implicitly through the web by systems based on the Internet protocol. The gathered information concerns data that could allow to identify web users/visitors by associating and processing them with other data kept by third parties (such as, for example, the IP address, domain and registration numbers of the computers used by people connecting to the website). These data are used and processed only for statistic purposes (therefore, they are anonymous) and to check if the website is working correctly. Data concerning web contacts are not stored for a longer period than seven days except for any need of checking computer crimes damaging the website. No information coming from the web service will ever be either communicated or disseminated.

2) Data provided spontaneously by users/visitors

If users/visitors connecting to this website send their personal data in order to use some services or to make requests through e-mail, Prysmian gathers their addresses and/or any other personal data, which will be processed exclusively to fulfill the demand or to provide the requested service. Personal data provided by web users/visitors will be communicated to third parties only in case it is necessary to comply with their requests.

3) Cookies

Cookies for the transmission of personal data are not used and neither are used any system for the tracking of users, unless for statistical purposes only. The use of the so-called session cookies (that, in any case, are not stored persistently on the user’s computer and are deleted automatically as soon as the browser is shut down) is strictly limited to the purpose of transmitting data (made up of random numbers created by the server) identifying the specific session and necessary to allow a safe and efficient website surfing. The so-called session cookies used in this website avoid any other computer methods that could potentially compromise the privacy about users’ web-surfing and they do not make it possible to obtain personal data identifying the specific user.

For statistics purpose we use Google Analytics (Google Inc), below the “third party” cookies
