About Cookies
Cookies are small text files sent by visited sites and stored on the user’s computer or mobile device, in order to be re-transmitted to the same sites at the next visit. Thanks to cookies, the site remembers the user’s actions and preferences (such as the login data, the preferred language, the font size or other display settings, etc.) so that they do not need to be indicated again when the user returns to visit the site or browse from page to page.
Cookies are therefore used to perform computer authentication, to monitor sessions and to keep information about the activies of users who access the site. They can sometimes also contain a unique identifier that tracks the user’s browsing within the site for statistical or advertising purposes.
During navigation, the user’s computer or mobile device may also receive cookies from other sites or web servers different from the one he or she is visiting (so-called “third party cookies”).
Under the laws in force in Italy, explicit consent is not always required for the use of cookies. In particular, “Technical” cookies do not require consent, such as those used for the sole purpose of carrying out the transmission of a communication over an electronic communications network, or those used only where strictly necessary to provide a service explicitly requested by the user. In other words, technical cookies are those that are essential for the functioning of the site or to perform tasks requested by the user. In addition to technical cookies, the Authority for the Protection of Personal Data (General Measure “Identification of simplified procedures for the information and the acquisition of consent for the use of cookies – May 8, 2014 “) includes other cookies which do not require consent for their use:
-
“Analytics cookies”, when used directly by the site operator to collect information, in aggregate form, about the number of users and how they visit the site,
-
Navigation or session cookies (for authentication, for making a purchase, etc.),
- Functionality cookies, which allow the user to navigate within a series of selected criteria (for example, the language, the products selected for purchase) in order to improve the service rendered to the same user.
