1.2 Session and persistent cookies

Cookies can expire at the end of a browser session (the period between the User opening a browser window and closing it) or they can 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 a user’s device between browser sessions, for varying periods of time, and allow the User’s preferences or actions with respect to a website to be stored.

1.3 Technical and profiling cookies

Technical cookies are those used by the owner of a site for the sole purpose of carrying out the transmission of 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 subscriber or user to provide such service. Users’ prior consent is not required for the installation of such cookies where they are used directly by the site operator.

Profiling cookies are aimed at creating profiles related to the user and are used in order to send advertising messages in line with the preferences expressed by the user when browsing the web. Due to the particular invasiveness that such cookies can have within the private sphere of users, European and Italian regulations require that the User must be adequately informed about their use, by means of a short notice (banner) and an extended one on the site, and that he must express his express consent to it the first time he visits the site. Such consent may be expressed generally, by interacting with the brief information banner on the landing page of the site, in the manner indicated in that banner, or it may be given or withheld selectively, in the manner indicated below. Of this consent, a record is kept on subsequent visits. However, the user always has the option to revoke all or part of the consent already given.

1.4 First-party and third-party cookies

A cookie is either “first party” (so-called first party cookie) or ” third party” (so-called third party cookie) based on the website or domain from which it originates.

First-party cookies are, in essence, cookies set and managed by the site owner. For these cookies, the obligation of information, acquisition of any prior consent and/or possible blocking of cookies lies with the site owner.

Third-party cookies are cookies set by a domain other than the one visited by the user. For these cookies, the obligation of the information and the indication of the modalities for eventual consent and/or blocking of the cookies is the responsibility of the third party, while the owner of the site is only obliged to include on the site the link to the site of the third party where these elements are available.
