WHAT ARE COOKIES?
Definitions
Cookies are text strings created by a web application and stored on the client device used by the user to access the Internet (PC, smartphone, tablet, etc.), and are then sent back during subsequent Internet accesses by the same user. Cookies allow information to be collected about the user’s browsing activity on Websites, for example, to remember language preferences or the currency used for a purchase. Cookies may be stored permanently on the device and have a variable duration (so-called “persistent cookies”), but they may also disappear when the browser is closed or have a limited duration (so-called “session cookies”). Cookies may be installed by the website being visited (so-called “first-party cookies”) or by other websites (so-called “third-party cookies”).
Similar technologies, such as web beacons, transparent GIFs, and all forms of local storage introduced with HTML5, may also be used to collect information about user behaviour and the use of services.
Types of cookies
Based on the characteristics and use of cookies, different categories can be identified:
- Strictly necessary cookies. These cookies are essential for the proper functioning of the Website and are used to manage sessions, login activities, and access to restricted areas of the Website. The duration of these cookies is strictly limited to the browsing session (they are deleted when the browser is closed).
- Analytics and performance cookies. These cookies are used to collect and analyse traffic and Website usage data. For example, they allow the detection of whether the same user accesses the Website again at different times. They also make it possible to monitor the system and improve its performance and usability. Disabling these cookies does not result in any loss of functionality.
- Profiling cookies. These cookies are used to create a user profile in order to send advertising messages that are consistent with the preferences expressed by the user during previous browsing activities.
Third-party cookies
When visiting a website, users may receive cookies both from the website they are visiting (“first-party cookies”) and from websites managed by other organisations (“third parties”). A notable example is the presence of “social plugins” or the integration of third-party maps. These are sections of the visited webpage generated directly by the aforementioned websites and integrated into the host website page. The most common use of social plugins is to enable content sharing on social networks, while maps allow users to locate a business or activity based on the relevant geographical coordinates.
The presence of these services involves the transmission of cookies to and from all websites managed by third parties. The management of information collected by “third parties” is governed by their respective privacy policies, which users are invited to consult.
For further information on cookie types, characteristics, and how they work, users may consult the websites www.allaboutcookies.org, www.youronlinechoices.com, cookiepedia.co.uk, as well as the latest provisions issued by the Italian Supervisory Authority “Linee guida cookie e altri strumenti di tracciamento - 10 giugno 2021”.
