WHAT ARE COOKIES

Cookies are small text strings which are sent by sites users visit, to their devices (usually their browser), where they are stored, and are then retransmitted to the same sites upon the next visit by the same user. Cookies can be installed by the website visited by users (first-party cookies) or by other sites (third-party cookies). This happens because there may be elements (images, maps, sounds, links to web pages of other domains, etc.) in the site visited by users which reside on servers other than that of the site visited. Cookies can be divided into two major categories according to their purpose: technical cookies and profiling cookies. Technical cookies are solely used to communicate on an electronic communication network; or to a strictly necessary extent by the provider of an information service, having been explicitly requested by subscribers or users to provide that service. They are not used for further purposes, and are normally installed directly from the site visited by users. In particular, these cookies allow normal navigation and use of the website, and navigation on the basis of a number of selected criteria in order to improve the service provided. Users’ prior consent is not required for the installation of these cookies. Analytical cookies are then assimilated to technical cookies, where they are used directly by the site manager to collect aggregate information on the number of users, and how they visit the site. These cookies allow the site’s operator to understand how users interact with the site’s content in order to optimize services. Profiling cookies are aimed at creating profiles related to users, and are used to send advertising messages which match users’ preferences, expressed during navigation. Users’ prior consent is required for the installation of this type of cookie. Depending on their duration, cookies are divided into persistent cookies, which are stored on users’ devices until their expiry, subject to removal by users; or session cookies, which disappear when the browser is closed and therefore have a limited duration.
