General information What are cookies? In general, a cookie is a small amount of data (text file), which may contain a single anonymous ID code and which is usually sent from a web server of the website visited on the user’s terminal (computer, notebook, tablet, smartphone), to the web browsing software (browser) of the website visitor, to be subsequently re-sent to the visited website upon the subsequent visit. The cookie is then read again and identified only by the website which has sent it whenever the user visit that website. When surfing the web, users may also receive on their terminal cookies which are then sent from other websites or web servers (the so-called “third parties”), which may contain some elements (such as, for example, images, maps, sounds, specific links to pages of other domains) present on the website the user is visiting. Cookies may be used for various purposes: monitoring sessions, storing information on specific settings regarding the users who access the server, carrying out authentication processes, etc. It is possible to define and classify them in various ways. A possible distinction is between the two macro-categories of “technical” and “profiling” cookies. Technical cookies Technical cookies are those cookies used for the sole purpose of “carrying out the transmission of a communication on an electronic communications network, or insofar as this is strictly necessary to the provider of an information society service that has been explicitly requested by the contracting party or user to provide said service” and their use does not require the User’s consent as detailed in Section 122, par. 1, of the Privacy Code. They are not used for additional purposes and are normally installed directly by the website owner or manager. They may be classified as follows: browsing or session cookies: they ensure the normal website surfing experience and website use (enabling, for example, purchase or the authentication to access restricted areas of the website); analytics cookies, similar to technical cookies when used directly by the website manager to collect information in aggregate form on the number of users and on their ways of surfing the website; functionality cookies, which enable users to surf the website based on a set of selected criteria (for example the language and the products selected for purchase) in order to improve the service provided.
