Cookie Policy
Last updated: 19 October 2026
This page explains which cookies and similar technologies minnelea.com uses, what they are for and how you can choose, and forms part of our information on the processing of personal data. The data controller is Azienda Agricola Minnelea di Carmine Rizzo, who can be contacted at info@minnelea.com. For all other information, please read our privacy policy.
What cookies and similar technologies are
Cookies are small text files that the website stores in your browser. Similar technologies include, for example, the browser’s local storage (localStorage) and pixels: they work in the same way and follow the same consent rules.
How you choose
On your first visit a banner asks for your consent. You can accept everything, reject everything or choose by category. Without your consent we only use the technologies needed for the shop to work: scrolling or continuing to browse does not count as consent. Your choice is remembered for 12 months and you can change it at any time:
Categories we use
1. Necessary (always active). They make the shop work: basket, payment, security, language and currency, and recording your cookie choices. They are provided by Shopify, the shop’s platform (full list: shopify.com/legal/cookies).
2. Statistics (only with your consent). They tell us, in aggregate form, how the website is used so that we can improve it: Shopify Analytics, Google Analytics (Google Ireland Ltd) and Microsoft Clarity (Microsoft Ireland Operations Ltd).
3. Marketing (only with your consent). They are used to measure our campaigns and to show you relevant ads on other websites and social networks: Meta (Facebook and Instagram), Google Ads and YouTube, TikTok, Pinterest and Klaviyo (email). This category also includes the tools of our affiliate programme, described below.
Affiliate programme
Some creators and websites promote our products with a personal link and receive a commission on sales. If you arrive on minnelea.com through one of these links:
- the basket records the affiliate’s code and the time of the click (basket attributes “_affiliato” and “_affiliato_clic”), so that the order placed during that visit is attributed to them. This data stays in the basket and in the order and is used only to calculate the commission;
- only if you accept marketing cookies, your browser remembers the affiliate’s code and the time of the click for 90 days (local storage “mn_affiliato”), so that the order is attributed to them even if you come back later. If you refuse or withdraw your consent, this data is not stored or is deleted;
- with your consent, the tools of the affiliate networks GoAffPro and AddRevenue, with which we work, may also be activated.
We do not share your personal data with the affiliate: they only see the order number, date and amount.
Legal basis and retention. For the basket attributes, the legal basis is our legitimate interest in running the affiliate programme and paying commissions correctly (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR); for the 90-day storage it is your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR), which you can withdraw at any time. Data recorded in the order is kept with the order for as long as accounting and tax obligations require.
Retention
Your cookie choice is kept for 12 months; the “mn_affiliato” data for 90 days from the click; other tools for the period stated by each provider in its own privacy policy. You can delete cookies and site data at any time in your browser settings.
Providers outside the European Union
Some providers (for example Meta, Google, Microsoft, TikTok and Pinterest) may transfer data to the United States or other countries outside the EU, on the basis of the EU-US Data Privacy Framework or the standard contractual clauses approved by the European Commission.
Your rights
You can withdraw your consent at any time using the “Manage cookie preferences” link, exercise your rights under the GDPR (access, rectification, erasure, objection and the others) by writing to info@minnelea.com, and lodge a complaint with the Italian data protection authority, the Garante per la protezione dei dati personali (garanteprivacy.it), or with the authority in your country.
