WHAT COOKIES ARE AND WHAT ARE THEIR FUNCTIONS

Cookies are used to improve and facilitate the browsing experience.

In particular, they are small text files that the visited site sends to the browser used for navigation and which are automatically stored on the user’s device, to be afterwards automatically sent back to the web server of the visited site, at each subsequent access and until their elimination.

Cookies are used for various purposes, for example, for computer authentication, for monitoring sessions, for storing specific information about users who access a web page. Cookies are stored for periods of time that vary according to the needs and purposes for which they are used. In particular, the so-called “session cookies” are deleted when the browser is closed; on the contrary, “persistent cookies”, remain stored until they expire.

Cookies can be divided into the following main categories:

1. Depending on their installer:

  • First-party cookies: they are installed by the publisher of the website, (they are used, for example, to find out the number of pages visited within the site).

In fact, a website may contain elements (including, for example, images, maps, sounds, specific links to web pages of other domains, etc.) that reside on servers other than that of the visited page, and Cookies that are downloaded on the user’s devices (PC, smartphone or tablet) can also be read by subjects other than those who manage the site.

2. Depending on their purpose:

  • Technical cookies: they are used to make navigation easier, ensure the correct or easier use of the site or provide a service requested by the user. These cookies do not process any personal information.
  • Analytic cookies: they are similar to technical cookies when they are installed to collect information in anonymous and aggregate form, on the number of users and on how they visit the site. They allow the development of statistics on the service offered and its use.
  • Profiling cookies: they are intended to monitor and profile users while browsing and are used, for example, to study the movements of users, their web browsing or consumption habits (what the user reads, buys etc.) also for the purpose of sending advertising messages in line with the preferences expressed during navigation (so-called “Behavioural Advertising”).
