Use of cookies

This information is given to users in compliance with the “Simplified Arrangements to Provide Information and Obtain Consent Regarding Cookies of May 8, 2014” issued by the Italian Data Protection Authority (Garante per la protezione dei dati personali).

What are cookies?

Cookies are strings of text that are placed on your device (e.g. personal computer, notebook, smartphone or tablet) when you visit a website, and generally stored directly on the web browser. The website sending the cookies can then read and register the cookies placed on the same device to get information. What kind of information? Each type of cookies does different things.

How many types of cookies are there?

Cookies can be classified into two basic macro-categories, each with its specific features: technical cookies and profiling cookies.

Technical cookies are cookies generally needed for the proper operation of a website and web navigation; without these cookies web pages may not be displayed correctly or you may not be able to use certain services.  A technical cookie is essential, for example, to keep users logged-in during their visit to a website or to remember their language or other settings.

Technical cookies can be further distinguished into:

  • Browser cookies: these cookies ensure users can navigate the website and use services (e.g. allowing user authentication for access to restricted areas or online shopping);
  • Cookie analytics: these cookies can be likened to technical cookies, although only when used directly by the website manager to gather information, in aggregated form, about the number of visitors and their website experience.
  • Functional cookies: these cookies record information about the choices made by the user (e.g. language, the products purchased during online shopping) to enhance the website experience.

Profiling cookies are more sophisticated! These cookies profile users for targeted advertising based on user’s  choices.

Additionally, cookies can be divided into:

  • Session cookies. Session cookies are deleted when you close your browser;
  • Persistent cookies. Unlike session cookies, persistent cookies are saved on the browser for a set period of time. There are used, for example, to recognize the device from which the user logs in to facilitate user authentication.
  • First-party cookies are cookies generated and managed directly by the website the user is visiting.
  • Third-party cookies are cookies generated and managed by third parties, usually under a contract made between the website owner and a third party.
