GENERAL INFORMATION ON COOKIES

DEFINITION
Cookies are code portions installed in your browser. They are small text files that sites browsed by users send to their terminals, where they are stored and then retransmitted to the same sites on subsequent visits. Cookies are used for different purposes, have different peculiarities and can be used either by the owner of the site the user is visiting or by third parties. The main categories into which cookies can be divided are as follows:

Session or persistent cookies

Technical or profiling cookies

First-party or third-party cookies

SESSION AND PERSISTENT COOKIES
Cookies can expire at the end of a browser session (the period between the user opening a browser window and closing it) or they can be stored for a longer period of time. Session cookies allow websites to link the user’s actions during a browser session. Session cookies expire when the browser session ends. Persistent cookies are stored on a user’s device between browser sessions for varying periods of time and allow user’s preferences or actions with respect to a website to be stored.

TECHNICAL AND PROFILING COOKIES
Technical cookies are used by the website owner for the sole purpose of carrying out the transmission of a communication over an electronic communication network, or to the extent strictly necessary for the provider of an information company service explicitly requested by the subscriber or user to provide such service. If utilized directly by the site operator, users’ prior consent is not required for the installation of such 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 browsing the web. In view of the particular invasiveness such cookies may have in the users’ private sphere, European and Italian legislation provides that users must be adequately informed of their use by means of a short information notice (banner) and an extended one on the website, and that they must express their express consent in this regard the first time they visit a site. Such consent may be expressed in a general manner, by interacting with the short information banner on the site landing page in the manner stated therein, or it may be given or withheld selectively as stated below. A record of this consent is kept on subsequent visits. However, users always have the option of revoking all or part of the consent already given.

FIRST-PARTY AND THIRD-PARTY COOKIES
A cookie is either a ‘first-party cookie’ or a ‘third-party cookie’ depending on the website or domain from which it originates. In a nutshell, first-party cookies are cookies set and managed by the site owner. For these cookies, the obligation to provide a notice, obtain prior consent and/or possibly block cookies lies with the site owner. Third-party cookies are set by a domain other than the one visited by the user. For these cookies, the obligation to provide a notice and the indication of how the possible consent may be given and/or cookies can be blocked is a third-party responsibility. In this case, the site owner shall only include on the site a link to the third-party site where these items are available.
