User consent
Under current legislation, the Fincons website is not required to request consent for technical cookies (“Necessary” category), as they are strictly necessary for the operation of the site and the provision of the services requested. These cookies are therefore installed automatically when the user first visits any page of the portal and cannot be disabled via the preferences panel. All other Trackers (“Experience”, “Measurement” and “Marketing” categories), including statistics tools provided by third parties, are installed only with the user’s prior consent.
For all other types of cookies, consent is requested via a pop-up banner displayed on the first visit to the site. Consent requires active behaviour on the part of the user, who can use the banner to:
- accept all cookies by clicking the “Accept All Cookies” button;
- reject all cookies other than technical cookies by clicking the “Reject All” button or by closing the banner using the “X” icon;
- choose which categories of cookies to enable by clicking “Cookies settings”: in the panel that opens, the user can switch each category on or off and confirm the choice with the “Save and continue” button, or use the “Accept all” or “Reject all” buttons.
If the user makes no choice, no Trackers other than technical ones are installed.
Users can manage cookies:
- through specific settings of the browser used to view the pages of the Site (see the following section);
- by changing their settings when using third-party services.
Please note that some areas or features of the Site rely on the use of Cookies; disabling Cookies using any of the above methods may therefore prevent the user from correctly viewing certain parts of the Site or from using specific features offered by the Site (such as authentication and access to the restricted area of the site).

Transfer of Personal Data
Some Personal Data are shared with recipients who may be located outside the European Economic Area. Fincons ensures that the processing of users’ Personal Data by these recipients complies with the GDPR. Transfers may be based on an adequacy decision, on the Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the European Commission, or on another appropriate safeguard provided for by the GDPR. In particular, transfers to the United States are based on the European Commission’s adequacy decision of 10 July 2023 on the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework, for providers that have joined it, or on the Standard Contractual Clauses. Users can obtain information on the safeguards adopted and request a copy by writing to privacy@finconsgroup.com.
Notice regarding children under 14
Children under the age of 14 may not provide personal data themselves. FINCONS shall in no way be liable for any collection of personal data or for any false statements provided by a minor and, in any case, should such use come to light, FINCONS will facilitate the exercise of the right of access and erasure submitted by the legal guardian or the person exercising parental responsibility.
Exercising the rights of the data subject
Under the GDPR, users have the right to:
access and obtain a copy of their personal data: users have the right to request confirmation as to whether Fincons is processing any of their personal data. If so, they may access their personal data and certain information about how it is processed. In some cases, they may ask Fincons to provide an electronic copy of their data;
right to rectification of personal data: where users can show that the personal data we hold about them are inaccurate, they may request that such data be updated or rectified;
right to be forgotten/right to erasure: in certain circumstances, users have the right to have their personal data erased. Requests may be submitted at any time and Fincons will assess whether they can be granted. However, this right is subject to legal rights or obligations that may require Fincons to retain the data. Where it is established, in accordance with the law, that a request for erasure of personal data must be granted, Fincons will proceed without delay;
right to restriction of processing: in the cases provided for in Article 18 of the GDPR (for example, for the period needed to verify the accuracy of contested data), users may request that their data be stored only and not further processed;
right to data portability: for data processed by automated means on the basis of consent or a contract, users may receive the data concerning them in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format and request that it be transmitted to another controller;
right to withdraw consent: users may withdraw their consent at any time, for example for cookies and other non-technical Trackers, as described in the section “User consent”. Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal;
right not to be subject to decisions based solely on automated processing: Fincons does not take decisions based solely on automated processing, including profiling, which produce legal effects concerning users or similarly significantly affect them.
Right to object. Users may object at any time, without having to give reasons, to the processing of their data for direct marketing purposes, including related profiling, by clicking the unsubscribe link in each communication or by writing to privacy@finconsgroup.com. They may also object, on grounds relating to their particular situation, to other processing based on Fincons’ legitimate interest.
Requests must be sent in writing to Fincons at the following address: privacy@finconsgroup.com.
In any event, users always have the right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority (the Italian Data Protection Authority – Garante per la protezione dei dati personali) pursuant to Article 77 of the GDPR if they believe that the processing of their Personal Data infringes the applicable legislation, following the procedures set out by the Authority at the following web address:
