What are cookies?
Cookies are small text strings that a website can send to the user’s device (PC, notebook, smartphone or tablet) during their visit to the website and they are usually saved directly in the browser used for browsing. The same website that sent them can then read and record the cookies that are on the device to obtain various types of information.
How many types of cookies are there?
There are different types of cookies, with different characteristics.
Cookies can be classified, above all, as:
- session cookies, which are deleted immediately when the browser is closed (e.g. Internet Explorer, Safari, Google Chrome, etc.)
- persistent cookies, which – unlike session cookies – remain on the device and continue to operate even after the browser has been closed and until a certain period of time has passed
- first-party cookies, i.e. cookies generated and managed directly by the operator of the website that the user is browsing
- third-party cookies, which are generated and managed by parties other than the operator of the website that the user is browsing (as a rule, pursuant to a contract between the website owner and the third party).
The two main functional categories are:
-
Technical cookies
Technical cookies are those used solely to transmit a communication on an electronic communication network, i.e. generally necessary for the correct operation of the website and to allow browsing or to carry out activities required by the user; without them the visitor might not be able to view the pages correctly or use certain services. For example, a technical cookie is required to keep the user connected throughout their visit to a website, or to store language settings, display settings, and so on. Analytics cookies are comparable to technical cookies and other identifies only if (i) used solely to produce aggregate statistics and in relation to a single site or mobile application, (ii) at least the fourth component of the IP address is masked for those of third parties; (iii) third parties abstain from combining analytics cookies, thus minimised, with other processes or from transmitting them to additional third parties.
Your consent is not required for the installation of technical cookies. -
Profiling cookies
Profiling cookies are designed to create profiles of the user and are used to promote offers in line with the preferences displayed by the user during web browsing. Installing these tools requires your consent, which you are free to revoke at any time without prejudice to the processing carried out before the revocation. Please note that third parties, listed in the tables below with the links to their privacy policies, are typically autonomous controllers of data gathered using cookies used by them; please therefore refer to their own personal data processing policies and consent forms (selection of deselection of their cookies) and statements linked below.
