What are cookies?

Cookies are text files that are saved in the user’s computer when he/she accesses a web site. Cookies are used to provide information each time the user returns to the same site. It is a sort of reminder of the web page visited. With cookies, the web server sends information to the user’s browser (Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome, etc.) stored on the user’s computer that will be read and updated whenever the user returns to the site. In this way, the website automatically adapts to the user. While browsing, the user might also receive cookies from various sites (“third-party” cookies), set directly by the managers of these web sites and used for their purposes and according to their procedures.

There are two types of cookie, depending on their duration: session cookies (i.e. temporary cookies that are automatically deleted at the end of the browsing session, when the browser is closed), and persistent cookies (i.e. those that are stored on the device until expiry or until deleted by the user).

There are also technical and profiling cookies, depending on their function and purpose of use.

Technical cookies

Some cookies are used for authentication, monitoring sessions and storing specific information on the users who log in to a web page.

Analytics cookies also belong to this category. These are cookies that collect information about the user’s use of a website and are used to improve operation. For example, analytics cookies show which pages are visited most frequently, verify recurring patterns of use of a website and help to understand difficulties that users encounter.

Profiling cookies

Other cookies may be used to monitor and profile users during browsing, studying their movements and web consultation or consumption habits (what they buy, what they read, etc.). One of their purposes is to send targeted and personalised advertising. These are profiling cookies. Their use requires prior acquisition of the user’s free and informed consent within the meaning of article 7 of EU Regulation 2016/679.

In other words, these cookies are set directly by the operators of websites or servers different from this website. These are third-party cookies, usually used for profiling purposes.
