Cookies are small text files that the sites visited by the user send to their terminal (usually the browser), where they are stored before being re-transmitted to the same sites at the next visit by the same user.
While browsing a site, the user can also receive cookies from different sites or web servers on his terminal (so-called “third-party” cookies); this happens because on the visited website there may be elements such as, for example, images, maps, sounds, specific links to web pages of other domains that reside on servers other than the one on which the requested page is located.
In other words, they are those cookies that are set by a website other than the one you are currently visiting.
Cookies are used to perform computer authentication, session monitoring and storage of specific information regarding users who access the server and are usually present in each user’s browser in a very large number.
Some operations could not be carried out without the use of cookies, which in some cases are therefore technically necessary: by way of example, access to home banking and the activities that can be carried out on your online current account (view the extract account, wire transfers, payment of bills, etc.) would be much more complex to carry out and less secure without the presence of cookies that allow you to identify the user and keep the identification within the session.
Cookies can remain in the system even for long periods and may also contain a unique identification code.
This allows the sites that use them to keep track of the user’s navigation within the site itself, for statistical or advertising purposes, to create a personalized profile of the user starting from the pages that the same has visited and therefore show him advertising. targeted (so-called Behavioral Advertising).
Below is a brief description of the main types of cookies:
Session Cookies, which contain information that is used in your current browser session. These cookies are automatically deleted when you close your browser.
Persistent Cookies (ASPXANONYMOUS type), which are used to maintain the information that is used in the period between one access and another to the website, or used for technical purposes and to improve navigation on the site. This data allows sites to recognize that you are an already known user or visitor and adapt accordingly. “Persistent” cookies have a duration that is set by the website and that can vary from a few minutes to several years.
First-party cookies, which belong to the site that created them.
Third-party cookies, which are created by domains external to the site and whose data are stored at the third party.
Technical cookies, which are those used for the sole purpose of carrying out the transmission of a communication over an electronic communications network, or as strictly necessary for the provider of an information society service explicitly requested by the subscriber or user to provide this service (see Article 122, paragraph 1, of the Privacy Code). They are not used for other purposes and are normally installed directly by the owner or manager of the website. These include, for example, functionality cookies, which 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.
Cookie Analytics are similar 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.
Profiling cookies, which are designed to create user profiles and are used in order to send advertising messages in line with the preferences expressed by the user while surfing the net. Due to the particular invasiveness that such devices may have in the private sphere of users, European and Italian legislation provides that the user must be adequately informed about their use and thus express their valid consent.
Activities strictly necessary for operation: Cookies used to save the User’s session and to carry out other activities essential for the operation of the site.
Activities for saving preferences, optimization and statistics: Cookies used to save browsing preferences and optimize the User’s browsing experience such as, for example, those to set the language and currency or for the management of statistics by the Owner of the site.
