What are Cookies


Cookies are short fragments of text (letters and/or numbers) that allow the web server to store information on the client (the browser) to be reused during the same visit to the site (session cookies) or later, even for long periods (persistent cookies). Cookies are stored, based on user preferences, by the individual browser on the specific device being used (computer, tablet, smartphone). Similar technologies can be used to collect information about user behavior and use of services.

In the remainder of this document we will refer to cookies and all similar technologies using simply the term “cookies”.

What are the main types of Cookies


Based on the characteristics and use of cookies we can distinguish different categories:

Strictly necessary cookies or technical cookies. These are cookies that are essential for the proper functioning of our site and are used to manage login and access to restricted functions of the site, in general to speed up, improve or customize the level of service to users. The duration of the cookies is either strictly limited to the working session (closed the browser they are deleted), or of longer duration, aimed at recognizing the visitor’s computer. Their deactivation may affect the use of services accessible by login, while the public part of the site remains normally usable.

Analysis and performance cookies. These are cookies used to collect and analyze site traffic and usage anonymously and in aggregate. These first- or third-party cookies, while not identifying the user, allow, for example, detection of whether the same user returns to log in at different times. They also make it possible to monitor the system and improve its performance and usability. Deactivation of such cookies can be performed without any loss of functionality.

Profiling cookies. These are permanent cookies used to identify (anonymously and non-anonymously) the user’s preferences and improve the user’s browsing experience, in order to send advertising messages in line with the preferences expressed by the user when browsing the web. Due to the particular invasiveness that such devices can have within the private sphere of users, European and Italian regulations provide that the user must be adequately informed about their use and thus express his valid consent.

Third-party cookies. By visiting a website, one can receive cookies either from the site visited (owner or publisher) or from sites operated by other organizations (third parties) through the former. One example is the presence of “social plugins” (e.g. Facebook, Twitter, Google+) aimed at sharing content on social networks. The presence of these plugins involves the transmission of cookies to and from all sites operated by third parties. The management of information collected by third parties is governed by the relevant disclosures to which please refer.
