In compliance with the obligations set forth in Article 10 of Directive no. 95/46/EC, Directive 2002/58/EC as updated by Directive 2009/136/EC, Article 13 of Legislative Decree 30 June 2003 no. 196 and the general provision (web doc. no. 3118884) of the Guarantor for the protection of personal data, published in the Official Journal no. 126 of 3 June 2014, register of provisions no. 229 of 8 May 2014 on cookies, we proceed with the information on these topics.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small texts that are installed on your computer, smartphone or tablet when you browse the web. The sites you visit send cookies to the browser you use (for example Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome, Safari, Opera) which stores them and re-sends them to the same sites when you revisit them. Cookies can also be sent to your browser from different sites or web servers, i.e. third parties; this means that while you browse a specific website there may be elements from other sites that have such cookies such as images, sounds, maps, links to other pages.
Depending on the type of cookie and therefore the purpose for which it is used, some user data is stored, for example to make the use of a site more effective, to enable specific functions, to monitor visit sessions. In particular, cookies allow you to store the preferences entered, avoid entering the same information multiple times during navigation (such as username and password), analyze the use of the services and content provided by a site to optimize the browsing experience and the services offered.
Types of cookies
Technical cookies
Normally installed by the owner or manager of the website, which have the purpose of “carrying out the transmission of a communication on an electronic communications network, or to the extent strictly necessary for the provider of an information society service explicitly requested by the subscriber or user to provide such service” (see Article 122, paragraph 1, of the Privacy Code). The prior consent of users is not required for the installation of technical cookies. Technical cookies are further divided into:
Navigation or session cookies, which guarantee normal navigation and use of the website, allowing, for example, to make a purchase or to authenticate to access reserved areas. These cookies are not stored persistently on the device used by the user and are automatically deactivated when the browser is closed. Their use is linked to the transmission of identification data necessary to allow safe and efficient navigation on the pages. Session cookies do not in any way allow the acquisition of personal identification data of the user.
Analytics cookies, used to collect information on the use of the site, anonymously and to obtain both a statistical analysis of the pages viewed and the behavior of users. This anonymous analysis provides information and suggestions to improve the quality of the site and to make the contents that are most sought after and interesting in the eyes of users easily accessible. Analytics cookies can be sent both from the site and from third-party domains and do not in any way allow the acquisition of personal data identifying the user. Analytics cookies, if installed by third parties (for example Google Analytics), even if they collect data anonymously, are assimilated to profiling cookies, as indicated by the Guarantor for the protection of personal data.
Functionality cookies, assimilated to technical cookies when used directly by the site manager to collect information, in aggregate form, on the number of users and how they visit the site itself. These cookies allow the user to navigate according to a series of selected criteria (for example, the language, the products selected for purchase) in order to improve the service provided to the same.
Profiling cookies
They are intended to create user profiles and are used to send advertising messages in line with the preferences expressed by the user while browsing the internet. These cookies are particularly invasive in the user’s private sphere, for this reason European and Italian legislation requires that the user must be adequately informed about their use, thus being able to express their consent. Article 122 of the Privacy Code refers to them where it provides that “the storage of information in the terminal device of a contractor or a user or access to information already stored are permitted
only on condition that the contractor or the user has given their consent after being informed with the simplified procedures referred to in Article 13 of the Privacy Code, paragraph 3”.
Third-party tracking cookies
Cookies of this type are used to collect information on the use of the website by visitors, the keywords used to reach the site, the websites visited and the origins of the traffic from which visitors come for marketing campaigns. The owner can use this information to compile reports and improve the site. Cookies collect information anonymously. Cookies of this type are sent from the site itself or from third-party domains.
Cookies for the integration of third-party functionality
Cookies of this type are used to integrate third-party functionality into the site (for example, comment forms or social network icons that allow visitors to share the content of the site). Cookies in this category can be sent from the domains of partner sites or that in any case offer the functionality present on the site. The owner is not required to request the user’s consent for technical cookies, as these are strictly necessary for the provision of the service. For other types of cookies, consent may be expressed by the user, in accordance with current legislation, through specific browser configurations and computer programs or devices that are easy and clear to use for the user. The owner reminds the user that it is possible to change cookie preferences at any time. It is also possible to disable cookies from the browser at any time, but this operation may prevent the user from using some parts of the site.
