Cookies are small text files sent from a website to the user’s terminal (usually the browser), where they are stored before being re-sent to the website upon the same user’s next visit. A cookie cannot retrieve any other data from the user’s hard drive, transmit computer viruses, or capture email addresses. Each cookie is unique to the user’s web browser. Some cookie functions can be delegated to other technologies. In this document, the term “cookie” refers to both cookies, strictly speaking, and all similar technologies.
Cookies can be first-party or third-party, where “first-party” refers to cookies that have the website’s domain as their domain, while “third-party” refers to cookies that are set by external domains.
Third-party cookies are necessarily installed by an external entity, always referred to as a “third party,” not managed by the website. These entities may also install first-party cookies by storing their own cookies on the website’s domain.
Another type of cookie is so-called “Flash Cookies” (Local Shared Objects), used within Adobe Flash Player to deliver certain content, such as video clips or animations, in order to remember settings and preferences. Flash cookies are stored on the device, but are managed through a different interface than the one provided by the browser used.
Regarding the nature of cookies, there are different types:
Technical cookies are those used for the sole purpose of “carrying out the transmission of a communication over an electronic communications network, or as strictly necessary for the provider of an information society service explicitly requested by the subscriber or user to provide such service” (see art. 122, paragraph 1, of the Code).
Cookies can be first-party or third-party, where “first-party” refers to cookies that have the website’s domain as their domain, while “third-party” refers to cookies that are set by external domains.
They are not used for other purposes and are normally installed directly by the owner or operator of the website. They can be divided into:
• navigation or session cookies, which guarantee normal navigation and use of the website (allowing, for example, to make a purchase or authenticate to access restricted areas); they are in fact necessary for the correct functioning of the site;
• analytics cookies, similar to technical cookies when used directly by the site operator to collect information, in aggregate form, on the number of users and how they visit the site, in order to improve the site’s performance;
• functionality cookies, which allow the user to navigate based on a series of selected criteria (for example, language, products selected for purchase) in order to improve the service provided. The installation of these cookies does not require the prior consent of users (more information in the Cookie Management section below).
Profiling cookies are designed to create user profiles and are used to send advertising messages in line with the preferences expressed by the user while browsing the internet.
The user’s consent is required for the use of profiling cookies. According to the provision (more information in the Cookie Management section below), the user can authorize or deny consent to the installation of cookies through the options provided in the “Cookie Management” section.
In the case of third-party cookies, the site does not have direct control over individual cookies and cannot control them (neither directly nor delete them). You can, however, manage these cookies through your browser settings (follow the instructions below) or the websites listed in the “Cookie Management” section.
Users are therefore advised to check the third-party website indicated in the table below.
