COOKIE POLICY AND SIMILAR TECHNOLOGIES
www.toscotec.com – Last updated: June 2026
This Cookie Policy explains how Toscotec S.p.A. (“Toscotec”, “we” or the “Controller”) uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on www.toscotec.com (the “Website”). It should be read together with the Website Privacy Policy.
1. What cookies and similar technologies are
Cookies are small text files stored on the user’s device when visiting a website. Similar technologies, such as pixels, tags, local storage, SDKs or scripts, may also be used to collect or store information on the device, identify a browser or device, measure interactions or enable specific functions.
Cookies may be first-party cookies, set directly by the Website, or third-party cookies, set by external providers whose services are used on the Website. Cookies may also be session cookies, which expire when the browser is closed, or persistent cookies, which remain on the device for a defined period.
2. Categories of cookies used
The Website may use the following categories of cookies and similar technologies:
- Strictly necessary or technical cookies: required to provide the Website, ensure security, manage navigation, remember privacy choices and enable essential functions. These cookies do not require consent, but are described in this policy.
- Functionality or preference cookies: used to remember user choices and improve navigation. Where such cookies are not strictly necessary, they are activated only with consent.
- Analytics cookies: used to collect statistical information on Website use. Analytics cookies may be treated as technical only where they are configured in accordance with applicable law, for example with adequate aggregation/anonymisation and without cross-site profiling. Otherwise, they require consent.
- Marketing or profiling cookies and trackers: used to measure advertising effectiveness, create profiles, personalise content or marketing communications, or track users across websites. These technologies require prior consent.
- Embedded content and social media technologies: services such as videos, social media widgets, maps or external platforms may set cookies or collect data when activated by the user. Where they are not strictly necessary, they require consent before activation.
3. Consent management
On the first visit to the Website, and whenever required by law or by a material change in the technologies used, users are shown a cookie banner containing clear information and controls. The banner and the related preference centre allow users to:
- continue browsing with only strictly necessary cookies active, without giving consent to non-technical cookies;
- accept all non-technical cookies and similar technologies;
- customise choices by category and, where appropriate, by provider or individual technology;
- withdraw or modify consent at any time through a permanent “Cookie settings” or equivalent link available on the Website, in the footer.
Consent choices are recorded in a manner that demonstrates compliance. Unless there are material changes in the Website’s technologies, impossibility of knowing the previous choice, or other lawful reasons, the banner is not re-presented before six months from the previous choice.
4. Cookie table
The table below lists the cookies and similar technologies detected on the Website, grouped by category as reported by the consent management platform. Durations are indicative and may vary depending on the provider’s configuration and on browser settings.

5. Third-party services
The Website may contain links to third-party platforms, including social media pages, video platforms, Voith Group websites and external whistleblowing channels. If users click such links or activate embedded third-party content, the third-party provider may process personal data as an independent controller according to its own privacy and cookie policies.
Where third-party technologies are embedded directly in the Website and are not strictly necessary, they remain blocked until the user gives consent through the cookie banner or by an equivalent affirmative action compliant with applicable law.
6. Browser controls
Users may also manage or disable cookies through their browser settings. Disabling technical cookies may affect the correct operation of the Website. Browser settings do not replace the Website’s consent management mechanism for non-technical cookies, but may provide additional controls.
7. How to change choices
Users may change or withdraw their cookie choices at any time through the “Cookie settings” link or equivalent functionality made permanently available on the Website. Withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal.

9. Updates
Toscotec may update this Cookie Policy to reflect changes in cookies, tracking technologies, third-party providers, consent management tools or applicable law. The updated version will be published on the Website with indication of the latest update date.
