1.1 Definition
Cookies are small text files that are sent and recorded on the user’s computer or mobile device when they visit a website, and then transmitted back to the same website on their next visit. Cookies allow the site to remember user behaviors and preferences (e.g., login data, preferred language, or other display settings) so that these do not have to be specified again on the next visit or when navigating between pages. Cookies are used for purposes of authentication, session tracking, and storing information about the activities of users accessing the site. They may contain unique identifying elements that enable tracking of users’ navigation and experience on the site for statistical or advertising purposes. While browsing, it is possible that the user’s computer or mobile device may receive cookies from servers or websites other than the one they are visiting (so-called third-party cookies). Some operations may be impossible without cookies, which are sometimes technically necessary for the site to function.
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.
-
1.2 Session and persistent cookies
Cookies can expire at the end of a browser session (the period between the User opening a browser window and closing it) or they can be stored for a longer period of time. Session cookies are those that allow websites to link a user’s actions during a browser session. Session cookies expire when the browser session ends. Persistent cookies are stored on the user’s device between browser sessions, for varying periods of time, and allow the user’s preferences or actions with respect to a website to be stored.

1.3 Technical and profiling cookies
Technical cookies are those used by the owner of a site for the sole purpose of carrying out the transmission of a communication over an electronic communications network, or to the extent strictly necessary for the provider of an information society service explicitly requested by the user to provide such service. Users’ prior consent is not required for the installation of such cookies where they are used directly by the site operator.
Profiling cookies are aimed at creating profiles related to the user and are used in order to send advertising messages in line with the preferences expressed by the same in the context of web browsing. Due to the particular invasiveness that such cookies can have within the private sphere of users, European and Italian regulations provide that the User must be adequately informed about the use of the same, by means of a brief information (banner) and an extended one present on the site, and that he/she must express his/her express consent in this regard the first time he/she visits the site. Such consent may be expressed in a general manner, by interacting with the short information banner on the landing page of the site, in the manner indicated in that banner, or it may be given or withheld selectively, in the manner indicated below. Of this consent, a record is kept on subsequent visits. However, the user always has the option of revoking all or part of the consent already given.

1.4 First-party and third-party cookies
A cookie is either “first party” (so-called first party cookie) or “third party” (so-called third party cookie) based on the website or domain from which it originates.
First-party cookies are, in essence, cookies set and managed by the website owner. For these cookies, the obligation of information, acquisition of any prior consent and/or possible blocking of cookies lies with the site owner.
Third-party cookies are cookies set by a domain other than the one visited by the user. For these cookies, the obligation of the information and the indication of the way of possible consent and/or blocking of the cookies lies with the third party, while the site owner is only obliged to include on the site the link to the site of the third party where these elements are available.
