What are cookies?
Cookies are strings of text created by a server and stored on the hard disk of the computer or
on any device used by the User to access the Internet (smartphone, tablet), and then retransmitted when the User
again accesses the Internet.
Cookies make it possible to collect information on the browsing carried out by the User on the Website.
Cookies can be stored permanently on the User's computer and have a variable duration (so-called persistent
cookies), but they can also disappear when the browser is closed or have a limited duration (so-called session
cookies).
Cookies can be installed by the Website you are visiting (first-party cookies) or they can be installed by
other websites (third-party cookies) and are used to perform computer authentication, session monitoring and storage
of information regarding the activities of users accessing a website.
Cookies are divided according to their purpose into:
- Browsing and functionality cookies: used respectively for authentication purposes and to improve the User
experience (e.g., storing language preferences);
- Analytical cookies: used by the Website operator to collect information on users visiting the Website (e.g.,
pages visited, time spent, number of visitors);
- Profiling cookies: used for advertising purposes to send messages in line with user preferences collected while
surfing the web;
- Social networks cookies: used to allow interaction with social networks (Facebook, Linkedin...) and to share the
content of the Website via social networks.
According to current Italian legislation, a User’s explicit acceptance of cookies is not
required if they are identified as technical, i.e., aimed exclusively at the transmission of a communication over an
electronic communication network.
The Guidelines on Cookies and Other Tracking Technologies issued on 10 June 2021 by the Italian Data Protection
Authority identify two macro-categories of cookies:
- technical cookies, used for the sole purpose of “carrying out the transmission of a communication on an electronic
communications network, or to the extent strictly necessary for the provider of an information society service
explicitly requested by the contracting party or user to provide such service” (see Article 122, paragraph 1, of
Legislative Decree No. 196/2003, updated by Legislative Decree No. 101/2018).
- profiling cookies, used to link specific actions or recurring behavioural patterns in the use of the functions
offered (patterns) to specific identified or identifiable subjects, so as to group the various profiles within
homogeneous clusters of different sizes, so that the owner can, among other things, modulate the provision of the
service in an increasingly personalized manner beyond what is strictly necessary to provide the service, and send
targeted advertising messages, i.e., in line with the preferences expressed by the user when surfing the web.
