Last updated: [1.12.2025]

This Cookie Policy explains how Crabio (“we”, “us”, or “our”) uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on our website crabio.it (the “Website”). It should be read together with our Privacy Policy. By continuing to browse and use our Website, you agree to the use of cookies as described in this Cookie Policy, unless you have adjusted your browser settings or cookie preferences to refuse cookies.

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device (computer, tablet, mobile phone) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work or function more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information. Cookies can be classified in several ways:
  • By origin:
    • First-party cookies – set directly by our Website.
    • Third-party cookies – set by a domain different from our Website (e.g. Google Analytics).
  • By duration:
    • Session cookies – temporary cookies that expire when you close your browser.
    • Persistent cookies – remain on your device for a defined period or until you delete them.
  • By purpose:
    • Strictly necessary cookies
    • Analytics and performance cookies
    • Functional cookies
    • Marketing and advertising cookies

2. Why We Use Cookies

We use cookies on our Website for the following purposes:

2.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are essential for the operation of our Website. They enable core functions such as page navigation, secure access to certain areas, and management of your cookie preferences. The Website cannot function properly without these cookies. Because they are strictly necessary, you cannot refuse these cookies through our cookie banner, although you can block them in your browser (which may affect site functionality).

2.2 Analytics and Performance Cookies (Google Analytics)

We use analytics cookies to understand how visitors use our Website, so we can measure and improve its performance. For this purpose, we use Google Analytics (including GA4 or later versions), a web analytics service provided by Google LLC and/or its affiliates. These cookies help us to:
  • Understand how visitors arrive at our Website;
  • Measure which pages are most and least popular;
  • See how visitors move around the site;
  • Identify technical issues and improve the overall user experience.
The information generated by these cookies is generally aggregated and does not directly identify you. Where required by applicable law, IP addresses are anonymised. Google may process data on servers located inside or outside the European Economic Area, under appropriate safeguards.

2.3 Functional Cookies

Functional cookies allow the Website to remember choices you make (such as language preferences or display settings) and provide enhanced, more personalised features.

2.4 Marketing and Advertising Cookies

If we activate marketing tools in the future (for example, Google Ads, Facebook Pixel or similar services), marketing cookies may be used to:
  • Measure the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns;
  • Show you more relevant advertisements;
  • Limit how often you see a particular ad.
These cookies will only be used with your explicit consent, where required by applicable law. At the time of the latest update of this policy, we may or may not use such cookies; any change will be reflected in this Cookie Policy and, where required, via our cookie banner.

5. Third-Party Cookies

Some cookies on our Website may be set by third-party services that appear on our pages, such as analytics providers, embedded content (e.g. maps, videos), or social media platforms. These third parties may use cookies in accordance with their own privacy and cookie policies. We do not control these third-party cookies directly.
