What are cookies?

Cookies are small text strings that a website can send, during navigation, to your device (be it a PC, a notebook, a smartphone, a tablet; they are usually stored directly on the browser used for navigation). The same website that transmitted them can then read and record cookies that are on the same device to obtain various types of information. Which ones? For each type of cookie there is a clearly defined role.

How many types of cookies are there?

There are three basic macro-categories, with different characteristics: technical cookies (which are subsequently divided between necessary or navigational cookies and functional cookies), analytics (or statistical cookies) and profiling cookie.
Technical cookies are generally necessary for the correct functioning of the website and to allow navigation; without them you may not be able to view pages correctly or use certain services. For example, a technical cookie is essential to keep you logged in throughout your visit to a website, or to store your language settings, display settings, etc. Technical cookies can be further distinguished into:

• navigation cookies, which guarantee the normal navigation and use of the website (allowing, for example, to make a purchase or authenticate to access reserved areas);
• functionality cookies, which allow the user to navigate according to a series of selected criteria (for example, language, products selected for purchase) in order to improve the service provided to the user;

There are, also, the following categories of cookies:

• analytics cookies, which can be assimilated to the technical ones only whenever they are used directly by the website controller to collect data in an aggregated form, on the number of user and how these users navigate through the website, and also whenever there are the necessary prerequisites specifically requested by the afore mentioned guidelines;
• Profiling cookies are more sophisticated! These cookies have the purpose of profiling the user and are used to send promotional messages in line with the user’s preferences, as they are expressed by her/his actions during web surfing.

Profiling and analytics cookies, not assimilable to the technical ones, can also be called or classified as non-technical cookies.

Cookies can also be categorized as:

• session cookies, which are deleted immediately when you close your browser;
• persistent cookies, which – unlike session cookies – remain within the browser for a certain period of time. They are used, for example, to recognize the device that connects to the site and facilitate authentication operations for the user;
• first-party cookies, i.e., cookies generated and managed directly by the operator of the website on which the user is browsing.
• Third-party cookie, which are generated and managed by parties other than the operator of the website on which the user is browsing (usually by virtue of a contract between the owner of the website and the third party). Third party cookies can also include the profiling cookies (or the non-technical ones in general) mentioned and described before (for these types of cookies, read what has been said above, also with reference to the preemptive acquisition of the free consent). Concerning third party cookies, you can have more detailed information and updates on their usage and their retention period in the specific informational pages published by the third party, which You can access by specific links, inserted in the description of the single cookies listed below.
