- What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files containing “packets” of information created by a server and stored on a website visitor’s device each time he or she visits that site. Subsequently, every time the visitor returns to that site using the same device, his or her browser (such as Google Chrome, Safari, Microsoft Edge, etc.) sends those cookies to the website that originated them or to other sites so that they can use the information contained in the cookies to achieve various purposes such as, for example, making navigation easier, improving the functionality and design of the site, tracking the actions that the visitor takes on the site in order to present him or her with personalised advertising messages based on his or her tastes and preferences.
- How can cookies be classified?
Cookies can be classified in various ways depending on whether one considers their owner (or operator), the purpose they serve or their respective duration.
- According to the relevant owner or operator
Cookies can first be divided into two broad categories depending on whether they are installed on the site you are visiting by the site owner (“First-party cookies”) or by third parties outside the site (“Third-party cookies”).
The management of and responsibility for first-party cookies are assumed directly by the Site Owner, whereas the management of and responsibility for third-party cookies lie with the respective owners and operators, who must provide adequate opt-out mechanisms in their privacy policies.
- According to the purpose
Depending on the intended purpose, cookies can be subdivided into:
- Technical cookies: these are necessary to ensure the normal navigation and use of the site (specifically defined as “navigation” or “session” cookies) or to allow the user to navigate according to a set of selected criteria (e.g. the language of the site) to improve the service rendered to the user (“functionality cookies“).
For first-party technical cookies, prior consent of the user is not required for their use, but the user is free to remove them from the browser.
- Analytical cookies: thesecollect information on the number of users and how they use the site (e.g. which pages are visited most frequently).
First-party analytical cookies are assimilated to first-party technical cookies, so the user’s prior consent is not required for their use.
Third-party analytical cookies, on the other hand, do not require prior consent only if: i) they have a reduced power to identify the user and, ii) the third-party owner/operator has committed itself through specific contractual constraints not to cross-reference the data collected through the cookie with other information already available to them.
- Profiling cookies: these are aimed at creating profiles of the user and are used to send advertising messages in line with the user’s preferences when surfing the web.
For both first and third-party profiling cookies, prior consent for their use is required.
- According to the duration
Finally, cookies may have a variable duration, depending on the needs they pursue. In particular, they may be automatically deleted from the user’s device, upon closing the browser (“session cookies“), or remain stored until a predefined expiry date, which may correspond to minutes, days, years (“persistent cookies“).
- How do I give consent to the use of cookies and how do I revoke it to deactivate them?
Third-party technical and analytical cookies and both first and third-party profiling cookies are subject to the collection of user consent. It is possible to express consent to the use of these cookies in a simplified way by following the instructions given in the information banner that appears upon first accessing this site by clicking on the “I agree” button inside the banner .
In the following paragraph, which lists all the cookies used by this website, there is the possibility to revoke consent individually for each cookie by checking the appropriate box “Opt out” for each first-party cookie. For third-party cookies, if this option is not available, it is still possible to oppose their use by following the appropriate instructions in the relevant cookie policy, the link to which is conveniently provided.
However, please note that if you disable one or more technical cookies, the site may not function properly, or you may no longer be able to use some of its functions or services.
Finally, it is possible to manage cookie preferences through the preferences of the browser used (e.g. Google Chrome, Safari, Microsoft Edge, etc.) to prevent their installation or to delete cookies installed in the past, including the cookie where consent to the installation of cookies by this site is stored (in which case, on upon the next visit to the site, the cookie information banner will reappear, and it will be necessary you’re a new consent).
