Information on Cookies

Cookies are small text strings that the sites visited by the user send to his or her computer or mobile device, where they are stored before being re-transmitted to the same sites at the next visit of the same user. During navigation on a website, the user can also receive cookies on his workstation sent from websites or from web servers other than the one he or she is visiting (“third-party” cookies). There are various types of cookies, depending on their characteristics and functions, and these can remain in the user’s computer or mobile device for different periods of time: there are, for instance, session cookies, which are automatically deleted when the browser is closed, and persistent cookies, which remain on the user’s equipment until a pre-established expiry date. Thanks to cookies, the server sends information that is re-read and updated every time the user returns to the site. In this way, the website can automatically adapt to the user, improving his or her browsing experience. In addition, cookies provide the site operator with anonymous information on user navigation, also to obtain statistical data on the use of the site and improve its navigation.

According to the legislation in force in Italy, the user’s express consent is not always required for the use of cookies. In particular, “technical cookies”, i.e. those used for the sole purpose of transmitting a communication over an electronic communications network, or to the extent strictly necessary to provide a service explicitly requested by the user, do not require such consent. In other words, these cookies are essential for site operation or necessary to perform activities requested by the user.

Among technical cookies, which do not require an express consent for their use are:

  • “Analytic Cookies” used directly by the site operator to collect information, in aggregate form, on the number of users and on how they visit the site;

–        “Browser or Session Cookies” that guarantee the normal navigation and use of the website (allowing, for example, to make a purchase or authenticate access to restricted areas);

  • “Functional Cookies”, which allow the user to navigate according to a series of selected criteria (for example, the language, the products selected for purchase) in order to improve the service provided.

 

For “Profiling Cookies” (i.e. those aimed at creating profiles related to the user and used to send advertising messages in line with the preferences expressed by the user while surfing the net) a prior consent of the user is required.
