Cookies are small fragments of text, usually consisting of letters and/or numbers, that are sent by the website visited and stored by the software (such as a web browser) installed on the device used by the user for browsing. The cookies are then transmitted back to the aforementioned website on the user's next visit.
Cookies make it possible to store information regarding visits made by a user to a website and represent a technology very useful, because for example they enable websites to function, making them more efficient, and provide useful information to site operators.
Without cookies, or other assimilated technologies, websites would have no way to "remember" information about visitors, such as how many items the user has placed in their shopping cart or whether or not they have been log-in.
Cookies can be classified according to:
- duration: session or persistent cookies
- origin: first-party or third-party cookies;
- purpose: technical, analytical or profiling cookies.
Cookies that expire at the end of a browser session (normally when a user closes their browser) are called session cookies session and are useful, for example, to store the purchase order of a user or for security purposes, such as when logging into one's Internet banking or webmail account. Cookies that, on the other hand, are stored for a longer period of time (between sessions) are called persistent cookies and are useful, for example, to remember the user preferences or to propose targeted advertising.
The definition of first-party or third-party refers to the website or the domain that installs the cookie. First-party cookies are installed directly by the website the user is visiting, while cookies from a
third parties are installed by a domain different from the one the user is visiting, such as in the case where the website incorporates elements from other sites, such as images, social media plugins, or advertisements.
It should be specified that the purposes usually fulfilled by a cookie can also be accomplished through other assimilated technologies, including the use of certain features that enable the identification of devices so that visits to a website can be analyzed. This policy, in fact, applies to any technology that stores or accesses information on the user's device. They could fall into this category, for example, HTML5 local storage, Local Shared Objects (also called flash cookies) and techniques fingerprinting. In particular, device fingerprinting is a technique that involves combining a set of information in order to identify a particular device uniquely. Examples of the information that
device fingerprinting can detect, associate with or infer include:
- data derived from the configuration of a device;
- data inferred from the use of particular network protocols;
- JavaScript;
- HTTP header information; clock information;
- fonts installed;
- plugins installed in the browser.
Henceforth when referring to cookies, this definition will be considered to will also be considered to include other assimilated technologies.
Based on the purpose, the cookies installed on the this site are distinguished into technical cookies,
analytical cookies and profiling cookies.
Technical cookies are necessary for the operation of the website because they they enable functions to facilitate the user's navigation, who for example will be able to access their profile without having to log in each time or will be able to select the language with which they wish to navigate the site without having to set it each time.
Technical cookies are considered strictly necessary because storing the information is essential to provide a service requested by the user. Therefore, technical cookies cannot be disabled and their installation does not require the prior users' consent (pursuant to Article 122 of the Privacy Code).
Analytical cookies, which can be first- or third-party, are installed to collect information about the use of the website. In particular, they are useful to statistically analyze accesses or visits to the site itself and to enable the owner to improve its structure, navigation logic navigation and content. The information collected (including the IP, masked) is used to perform statistical analysis in order to improve the use of the site and possibly to make the content more interesting and relevant to the user's wishes.

With regard to third-party analytical cookies, used for statistical purposes only, for the same will be adopted appropriate tools to reduce the identifying power towards the user (for example, by masking significant portions of the IP address, or the anonymization of the IP); However, the use of such cookies will be subject to contractual constraints between the site and third parties in which express reference is made to the third party's commitment either to use them exclusively for the provision of the service, to store them separately and not to "enrich" or "cross-reference" them with other information they have.
