1.  General Cookie Information

1.1 Definition

Cookies are small text files sent by sites users use to their computers, where they are stored to then be resent to those sites on subsequent visits. Cookies are used for various purposes, they have different specific features and can be used both by the site owner and any users visiting the site, as well as by third parties. The main categories into which cookies can be divided are:

• session or permanent cookies;
• technical or profiling cookies;
• first- and third-party cookies.

1.2 Session and permanent cookies

Cookies may expire at the end of browser session (the time between a user opening a browser window and closing it) or may be stored for a longer period of time. Session cookies are those that enable websites to link user actions during a browser session. Session cookies expire when the browser session ends. Permanent cookies are stored on the user’s device between browser sessions, for different periods of time, and allow a user’s preferences or actions in relation to a website to be remembered.

1.3 Technical and profiling cookies

Technical cookies are those used by the site owner for the sole purpose of sending a communication over an electronic communication network, or to the extent strictly necessary for the supplier of an information service explicitly requested by the subscriber or user to provide such a service. The installation of these cookies does not require the prior consent of users when used directly by the site operator.

Profiling cookies are designed to create profiles related to the user and are used to send advertising messages in line with the preferences expressed by the user when surfing the web. Due to the particular invasiveness that such cookies may have on users’ privacy, European and Italian law sets forth that users must be adequately informed about their use, through a short informative note (banner) and more extensive information on the site, and must give their express consent in this regard the first time they visit the site. This consent may be expressed in a general manner by interacting with the short information banner on the site landing page, in the manner indicated in that banner, or may be provided or denied selectively, in the manner indicated below. This consent will be recorded on subsequent visits. The user always has the option to revoke all or part of the consent already given.

1.4 First- and third-party cookies

A cookie is “first party” or “third party” depending on whether it is from the website or the domain from which it originates.

First-party cookies are, in essence, cookies set and managed by the site owner. For these cookies, the obligation to provide information, the acquisition of prior consent and/or the 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 to provide information and to indicate how to consent to and/or block cookies lies with the third party, while the site owner is only obliged to add a link to the site of the third party where these elements are available.
