What cookies are?

Cookies are short fragments of text (letters and / or numbers) that allow the web server to store information on the client (the browser) to be reused during the same visit to the site (session cookies) or later, even for long periods. Cookies are stored, according to user preferences, by the single browser on the specific device used (computer, tablet, smartphone). Similar technologies can be used to collect information on user behavior and use of services.

Based on the characteristics and use of cookies, we can distinguish several categories:

  • Strictly necessary cookies or technical cookies. These are cookies that are essential for the proper functioning of this site and are used to manage login and access to the site's reserved functions, in general to speed up, improve or customize the level of service to users. The duration of cookies is either strictly limited to the work session (when the browser is closed, they are deleted), or of a longer duration, aimed at recognizing the visitor's computer. Their deactivation may compromise the use of the services accessible from login, while the public part of the site remains normally usable

  • Analysis and performance cookies. These cookies are used to collect and analyze traffic and use of the site anonymously and in aggregate form. These first- or third-party cookies, even without identifying the user, allow for example to detect if the same user returns to connect at different times. They also allow you to monitor the system and improve its performance and usability. The deactivation of these cookies can be performed without any loss of functionality. (p.gif)

  • Profiling cookies. These are permanent cookies used to identify (anonymously or not) user preferences and improve their browsing experience, in order to send advertising messages in line with the preferences expressed by the user while surfing the net. Due to the invasiveness that such devices may have in the private sphere of users, European and Italian legislation provide that the user must be adequately informed about their use and thus express their valid consent.

  • Third party cookies. By visiting a website, you can receive cookies both from the visited site (owner or publisher), and from sites managed by other organizations (third parties) through the first. An example is the presence of "social plugins" (e.g., Facebook, Twitter, Google+) aimed at sharing content on social networks. The presence of these plugins involves the transmission of cookies to and from all sites managed by third parties.
