Characteristics and purposes of cookies

"Cookies" are small text files that the websites visited by the user send to the user's terminal (computer, smartphone, tablet or any other tool used to access the Internet), where they are stored and then sent back to the same websites the next time they are visited by the same user.

While browsing, the user may also receive cookies from different websites (so-called "third-party" cookies) on his/her terminal, set directly by the managers of the aforesaid websites and used for the purposes and in the manner they have defined.

Cookies that do not require the consent of the user

Technical cookies
There are two types of technical cookies:

  • “Browsing” or “session” cookies: cookies that are not stored permanently on the user's computer and vanish when the browser is closed. These cookies are used only for sending session identifiers, which are necessary to allow the secure and efficient browsing of the website, avoiding the use of computer techniques that are more invasive for users, and do not allow the acquisition of the personal identification data of the user;
  • "Functional" cookies: cookies that adapt the presentation of the website to the display preferences of the user's computer (for example, language, screen resolution, operating system used, etc.).

The user's consent is not required for the installation of technical cookies.

Technical cookies also include "analytics" or "tracking" cookies (Google Analytics).
