1.GENERAL INFORMATION ON COOKIES
Definition
Cookies consist of small text files that websites visited by users send to their terminals, where they are stored before being re-transmitted to said sites upon subsequent visits. Cookies are used for different purposes, have different features, and can both be used by the owner of the Website that the user is visiting, as well as by third parties. The main categories into which cookies can be divided are as follows:
- session or permanent cookies;
- technical or profiling cookies;
- first-party or third-party cookies.
Session and persistent cookies
Cookies can expire at the end of a browser session (the period between the opening of a browser window by the user and its closure), or they can be kept for a longer period of time. Session cookies are those that allow websites to connect the actions of a user together during a browser session. Session cookies expire when the browser session ends. Persistent cookies are stored on a user’s device between browser sessions for varying periods of time, and allow user preferences or actions to be saved with respect to a website.
Technical and profiling cookies
Technical cookies are used by the website owner to transmit a communication over an electronic communications network, or as strictly necessary for the provider of an information service as explicitly requested by the subscriber or user of the service itself. The prior consent of users is not required where they are used directly by the Website manager.
Profiling cookies are used to create user profiles and to send advertising messages matching the preferences expressed by the user as he/she browses the internet. Due to the particular invasive nature that these cookies can have in the private life of users, European and Italian legislation provides that the user must be adequately informed on their use through a brief disclosure (banner) and an extended disclosure on the Website, and that the user must give his or her express consent in this regard upon visiting the Website for the first time. This consent can be expressed in a general manner, interacting with the brief disclosure banner on the landing page of Website with the methods indicated in therein, or provided or denied selectively according to the methods indicated below. This consent is saved for subsequent visits. The user always has the right to revoke consent already expressed, in whole or in part.
First-party and third-party cookies
A cookie is deemed as “first party” or ” third party” based on the website or domain from which it comes.
First party cookies are cookies set and managed by the Website owner. For these cookies, the obligation of the disclosure, the acquisition of any prior consent, and/or the potential blocking of cookies is that of the Website owner.
Third-party cookies are cookies set by a domain other than that visited by the user. For these cookies, the obligation of the disclosure, the indication of methods of any consent and/or blocking of cookies is that of a third party, while the owner of the Website is only obliged to include the link to the website of the third party, where these elements are available.
