COOKIE DESCRIPTION

Cookies are small text files that are sent by the website visited by the user to the user’s device (usually to the browser), where they are stored so that the device can be recognized on the user’s next visit to the site. On each subsequent visit, cookies are sent from the user’s device to the site.

Cookies can be “installed” (more precisely, stored and accessed) not only by the same manager of the site visited by the user (first-party cookies), but also by a different site that “installs” cookies through the first site (third-party cookies) and is able to recognize them. This happens because elements (images, maps, sounds, links to web pages of other domains, etc.) that reside on servers different from that of the visited site may be present on the visited site.

Depending on their purpose, cookies are distinguished into technical cookies and profiling cookies. Technical cookies are “installed” solely for the purpose of “carrying out the transmission of a communication over an electronic communications network, or to the extent strictly necessary for the provider of an information society service explicitly requested by the subscriber or user to provide that service”.

They are usually used to allow efficient navigation between pages, store user preferences (e.g., font size, language, country, etc.), store information about specific user configurations, manage authentication, etc. Some of these cookies (called essential or strictly necessary), such as session cookies used to manage the cart on e-commerce sites, enable functions without which certain operations would not be possible.

The use of technical cookies does not require the consent of users. Technical cookies are assimilated (and, therefore, for their installation, the consent of users is not required, nor are additional regulatory requirements) to so-called “analytics” cookies that serve to monitor the use of the site by users for optimization purposes – if used directly by the first-party site (thus, without the intervention of third parties), as well as analytical cookies made and made available by third parties and used by the first-party site for mere statistical purposes, provided that suitable tools are adopted to reduce their identifying power (for example, by masking significant portions of the IP address) and the third party expressly undertakes not to “cross-reference” the information contained in such cookies with others it has. Profiling cookies are used to track user navigation and analyze their behavior for marketing purposes and are aimed at creating user profiles and are used to send advertising messages in line with the preferences expressed by the user during online navigation. Such cookies can be installed on the user’s terminal only if the user has expressed their consent in the manner indicated in the Provision. Depending on their duration, cookies are distinguished into persistent, which remain stored until their expiration on the user’s device, unless removed by the user, and session cookies, which are not stored persistently on the user’s device and disappear with the closing of the browser. Usually, profiling cookies are persistent cookies.
