- This Cookie Policy applies to the website (https://www.webuildvalue.com/en) (hereinafter the “Website”), operated by Webuild S.p.A., the data controller, with registered office at Centro Direzionale Milanofiori Strada 6 – Palazzo L – 20089 Rozzano (Milan) (“we”, “our”, “us”). To view our Privacy Policy, please click here.
- This Cookie Policy describes the use of cookies and other similar tracking technologies on our Website, and does not apply to third-party websites that may be accessed via links or banners on the Website; in such cases, please consult the relevant privacy policy.
- This Cookie Policy supplements the brief text published via a banner that appears when you first visit the Website.
- You can configure your browser to refuse cookies, as explained below in section 4. Managing cookies and withdrawing consent. When cookies are disabled, some features of our Website may not function correctly.
2. What are cookies and other tracking technologies
Cookies are small files sent by the websites you visit and stored on the device you use to access those sites. When you visit the same website again, your browser reads the cookies stored on your device and sends the information back to the website that originally created or installed those cookies. Our Website also uses various types of cookies and other technologies to read and store information on your device in order, for example, to carry out statistical analysis, personalise and facilitate your browsing experience, and remember your browsing preferences.
Cookies are categorised by their duration as follows:
- session cookies, which are automatically deleted at the end of your session; and
- persistent cookies, which remain stored on your device even after you close your browser session, for a period determined by the cookie’s creator. These cookies are automatically deleted once the pre-set expiry period has elapsed (which begins from the moment they are installed, i.e. when you access the website for the first time, if consent is not required, or, if consent is required, from the moment you have given your consent). You can always delete cookies directly as indicated in the relevant section of this Cookie Policy – Manage cookies and withdraw consent.
Depending on their origin, cookies can be categorised as:
- first-party cookies, when they are set and managed directly by the website operator; and
- third-party cookies, which are managed by a party other than the operator of the website you are visiting.
Furthermore, cookies are categorised by their function as:
- technical cookies, which are necessary for a website to function, including the provision of the company services of the information you request. This category of cookies includes session cookies, which are required for you to use a website, and functionality cookies, which are used, for example, to save your browsing preferences on a website. These cookies are stored on your computer only for the duration of your active browser session and are used to record your choice regarding the use of cookies on a website; and
- profiling cookies, which are designed to create profiles and are used to send and display advertising messages in line with the preferences you have expressed whilst browsing a website.
The legal basis for the processing of personal data in relation to technical cookies is our legitimate interest, which consists of ensuring that the Website functions correctly and is visible and accessible.
The legal basis for the processing of personal data in relation to profiling cookies is consent. In Italy, as set out in the General Provision of the Italian Data Protection Authority of 8 May 2014 ‘Identification of simplified procedures for providing information and obtaining consent for the use of cookies’, the category of technical cookies also includes, under certain conditions, analytical cookies, which are used to collect information, in aggregate form, on the number of users of the Website and how they visit the Website, in order to compile general statistics on the Website and its use.
Technical cookies also include those used to statistically analyse accesses or visits to the Website – also known as ‘analytics’ cookies – which serve exclusively statistical purposes (but not for marketing or profiling ones) and collect information in aggregated form without it being possible to trace it back to your identity. These cookies can be disabled and/or deleted via your browser settings. All modern browsers allow you to change your cookie settings. You can usually find these settings in the ‘Options’ or ‘Preferences’ menu of your browser. The following links may be helpful in understanding these settings. Alternatively, you can use the ‘Help’ option in your browser for further information.

Third-party cookies
Whilst browsing, you may also receive cookies on your device from websites or web servers other than this Site (so-called ‘third-party’ cookies): this occurs because the Site may contain elements such as, for example, images, maps, sounds, or specific links to web pages on other domains that are hosted on servers other than the one on which the requested page is located. In other words, these cookies are set directly by operators of websites or servers other than the Site itself. These third parties could, in theory, set cookies whilst you are visiting the Site and thus obtain information regarding the fact that you have visited one of the Company’s websites.
If you decide not to consent to the use of third-party cookies, you will only be able to use those features of the Website that do not require such cookies.
Below, for each third-party service present on the Site, we list the name and the main cookies set, along with their purpose and duration.
| Service (third party) | Cookies set (purpose, duration) |
|---|---|
| Google Ads |
|
| Google Tag Manager |

| Meta Pixel |

| YouTube | Video content is embedded in ‘no-cookie’ mode (youtube-nocookie.com); if consent is given, the videos are loaded from youtube.com with the associated cookies. |
