Cookies consist of portions of code installed within the browser. These are small text files that websites visited by users send to their terminals, where they are stored before being re-transmitted to the same websites on subsequent visits. Cookies are used for various purposes, have different characteristics, and can be used either by the owner of the website the user is visiting or by third parties. The main categories into which cookies can be divided are as follows:
Cookies can expire at the end of a browser session (the period between when a user opens a browser window and when it closes it) or they can be stored for a longer period of time. Session cookies 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 a user’s device between browser sessions, for varying periods of time, and allow the user’s preferences or actions regarding a website to be saved.
Technical cookies are those used by a website owner for the sole purpose of transmitting 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 subscriber or user to provide that service. The installation of these cookies does not require the prior consent of users when used directly by the website operator.
Profiling cookies are designed to create user profiles and are used to send advertising messages in line with the preferences expressed by the user while browsing online. Given the potential invasiveness of these cookies on users’ privacy, European and Italian legislation requires that users be adequately informed about their use, via a brief (banner) and an extended information notice on the website, and that they must express their consent the first time they visit the website. This consent can be expressed generally by interacting with the brief information banner on the site’s landing page, using the methods indicated therein, or it can be provided or denied selectively, as indicated below. This consent is tracked for subsequent visits. However, the User always has the option to revoke all or part of the consent already given.
A cookie is classified as a “first-party” cookie (so-called “first-party cookie”) or a “third-party” cookie depending on the website or domain from which it originates.
First-party cookies are, essentially, cookies set and managed by the website owner. For these cookies, the obligation to provide information, obtain prior consent, and/or block cookies falls to the website 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 indicate the methods for obtaining consent and/or blocking cookies falls to the third party, while the website owner is only required to include a link to the third-party website where these elements are available.
