Information on Cookies

A "cookie" is a text file saved on a user's computer when they access a website. It serves as a reminder of the web page visited. The web server uses cookies to send information to the user's browser (Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome, etc.), which is stored on the user's computer and read and updated each time the user returns to the site. This allows the website to automatically adapt to the user. While browsing, the user may also receive cookies from different websites ("third-party" cookies), set directly by the operators of those websites and used for the purposes and according to the methods defined by them.
Depending on their duration, cookies are classified as session cookies (temporary cookies that are automatically deleted from the terminal at the end of the browsing session, when the browser is closed) and persistent cookies (those that remain stored on the terminal until they expire or are deleted by the user).

Depending on their function and purpose, cookies can be divided into technical cookies and profiling cookies.


Technical cookies
Some cookies are used to perform computer authentication, monitor sessions, and store specific information about users accessing a web page. These cookies, known as technical cookies, are often useful for enabling navigation on a website and using all its features. Technical cookies are those whose use does not require the user's consent.
Analytics cookies also belong to this category. These cookies collect information about a user's use of a website and allow for its operation to be improved. For example, analytics cookies show which pages are most frequently visited, allow us to identify recurring usage patterns on a website, and help us understand any difficulties users encounter.


Profiling Cookies
Other cookies can be used to monitor and profile users while browsing, study their movements and web browsing or consumption habits (what they buy, what they read, etc.), including for the purpose of sending targeted and personalized advertising. These are called profiling cookies. The use of these cookies requires the user's prior informed consent pursuant to Article 7 of EU Regulation 2016/679.


Third-Party Cookies

A web page may also contain cookies from other sites and contained in various elements hosted on the page itself, such as advertising banners, images, videos, maps, or specific links to web pages on other domains hosted on servers other than the one hosting the requested page. In other words, these cookies are set directly by website operators or servers other than this website. These are called third-party cookies, which are usually used for profiling purposes. The use of these cookies requires the user's prior informed consent.
