What are cookies

The Guidelines of the Privacy Guarantor define cookies as strings of text that websites (so-called Publishers, or “first parties”) visited by the user or different websites or web servers (so-called “third parties”) position and store – directly, in the case of publishers and indirectly, i.e. through the latter, in the case of “third parties” – within a terminal device available to the user himself.

Therefore, cookies are small files that are installed on the user’s terminals by the website or e-commerce site or by third parties (through the site itself). These files are installed when the user visits a certain site. By terminals we mean computers, tablets, smartphones or any other device capable of storing information.

Types of cookies

Based on the characteristics and use of cookies, different categories can be distinguished:

  • Technical cookies. Technical cookies are those used for the sole purpose of “carrying out the transmission of a communication over an electronic communications network, or as strictly necessary for the provider of an information society service explicitly requested by the subscriber or user to provide this service” (cf. art. 122, paragraph 1, of the Code). They are not used for other purposes and are normally installed directly by the owner or manager of the website. They can be divided into navigation or session cookies, which guarantee normal navigation and use of the website; analytics cookies, assimilated to technical cookies when used directly by the site operator to collect information, in aggregate form, on the number of users and how they visit the site; functionality cookies, which allow the user to navigate according to a series of selected criteria in order to improve the service rendered to the same. For the installation of these cookies, the prior consent of the users is not required, while the obligation to provide the information pursuant to art. 13 of the Code, which the site manager, if he uses only such devices, will be able to provide in the manner he deems most suitable.
  • Profiling cookies. 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 surfing the net. Due to the particular invasiveness that such devices can have in the private sphere of users, European and Italian legislation provides that the user must be adequately informed about their use and thus express their valid consent. The art refers to them. 122 of the Code where it provides that “the filing of information in the terminal equipment of a contractor or user or access to information already archived are permitted only on condition that the contractor or user has given their consent after being been informed with the simplified procedures referred to in article 13, paragraph 3” (art. 122, paragraph 1, of the Code). This site does not use profiling cookies.
