WHAT ARE COOKIES?
Cookies are small text files that the sites visited by the user send and record on the user's computer or mobile device, to be then retransmitted to the same sites on the next visit. Thanks to cookies, the site remembers the user's actions and settings (such as, for example, login data, the chosen language, font size, other display settings, etc.) so that they do not have to be re-entered when the user returns to visit the same site or navigates from one page to another. Cookies are therefore used to perform computer authentication, session monitoring and storage of information regarding the activities of users who access a site and may also contain a unique identification code that allows tracking of the user's navigation within the site itself for statistical or advertising purposes. While browsing a site, the user may also receive on his or her computer or mobile device cookies from sites or web servers other than the one he or she is visiting (so-called "third-party" cookies). Some operations could not be performed without the use of cookies, which in some cases are therefore technically necessary for the functioning of the site itself.
There are various types of cookies, depending on their characteristics and functions, and these can remain on the user's computer or mobile device for different periods of time: the so-called session cookies, which are automatically deleted when the browser is closed; the so-called persistent cookies, which remain on the user's device until a pre-established expiry date.
According to the legislation in force in Italy, the use of cookies does not always require the express consent of the user. In particular, the so-called "technical" cookies, i.e. those used for the sole purpose of transmitting a communication on an electronic communications network, or to the extent strictly necessary to provide a service explicitly requested by the user, do not require such consent. In other words, these are cookies that are essential for the functioning of the site or necessary to perform activities requested by the user.
Among technical cookies, which do not require express consent for their use, the Guarantor for the protection of personal data (see General Provision “Identification of simplified methods for the information and acquisition of consent for the use of cookies – 8 May 2014) also includes:
- “Analytics cookies” where used directly by the site manager to collect information, in aggregate form, on the number of users and how they visit the site itself,
- navigation or session cookies (for authentication, to make a purchase, etc.),
- functional cookies, which allow the user to navigate according to a series of selected criteria (for example, language, products selected for purchase) in order to improve the service provided to the user.
For so-called profiling cookies, on the other hand, i.e. those aimed at creating profiles relating to the user and used to send advertising messages in line with the preferences expressed by the user while browsing the internet, prior consent from the user is required.
