1. General information about cookies
- 1.1 Definition
  
  Cookies are small text files that are sent to and stored on the computer or mobile device of the user who visits a website, and then retransmitted to the same website on the next visit. Cookies allow the website to remember the user’s behavior and preferences (e.g. login data, preferred language or other display settings), so that they do not have to be specified again on subsequent visits or when navigating between pages. Cookies are used for authentication purposes, session monitoring and storing information about users’ activities on the website. They may contain unique identifiers that allow tracking of users’ navigation and experience on the site for statistical or advertising purposes. While browsing, the user’s computer or mobile device may also receive cookies from servers or websites other than the one being visited (so-called third-party cookies). Some operations may be impossible without cookies, which are sometimes technically necessary for the functioning of the website.
  
  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.
- 1.2 Session and persistent cookies
  
  Cookies may expire at the end of a browser session (the period between the opening of a browser window by the User and its closure) or may be stored for a longer period of time. Session cookies are those that allow websites to link a user’s actions during a browser session. Session cookies expire when the browser session ends. Persistent cookies are stored on the user’s device between browser sessions, for varying periods of time, and allow the user’s preferences or actions regarding a website to be remembered.
- 1.3 Technical and profiling cookies
  
  Technical cookies are those used by the website owner solely for the purpose of transmitting a communication over an electronic communications network, or to the extent strictly necessary for the provider of an information society service explicitly requested by the user to provide that service. The installation of such cookies does not require the prior consent of users when used directly by the website operator.
  
  Profiling cookies are intended to create profiles relating to the user and are used to send advertising messages in line with the preferences expressed by the user while browsing the internet. Due to the particular intrusiveness that such cookies may have within users’ private sphere, European and Italian regulations require that the User be adequately informed about their use, through a short notice ( banner ) and an extended notice available on the website, and that the User provide explicit consent the first time they visit the website. Such consent may be expressed generally by interacting with the short information banner displayed on the landing page of the website, in the manner indicated in that banner , or it may be given or denied selectively, according to the methods indicated below. A record of this consent is kept for subsequent visits. However, the user always has the option to revoke, in whole or in part, the consent already given.
- 1.4 First-party and third-party cookies
  
  A cookie is considered “first-party” (so-called first party cookie ) or “third-party” (so-called third party cookie ) depending on the website or domain from which it originates.
  
  First-party cookies are essentially cookies set and managed by the website owner. For these cookies, the obligation to provide information, obtain any prior consent and/or enable the blocking of cookies lies with the website owner.
  
  Third-party cookies are cookies set by a domain different from the one visited by the user. For these cookies, the obligation to provide information and indicate the methods for any consent and/or blocking of cookies lies with the third party, while the website owner is only required to include on the site the link to the third party’s website where such elements are available.
