WHAT ARE COOKIES?
Cookies are small text files that websites send and store on the user's computer or mobile device, which are then retransmitted to the same websites on the next visit. Cookies allow websites to remember the user's actions and settings (such as login information, preferred language, font size, other display settings, etc.) so that they do not need to be re-entered when the user returns to the same website or navigates from one page to another. Cookies are therefore used to perform computer authentication, monitor sessions, and store information regarding the activities of users who access a website. They may also contain a unique identifier that allows the user's browsing within the website to be tracked for statistical or advertising purposes. While browsing a website, the user may also receive cookies on their computer or mobile device from websites or web servers other than the one they are visiting (so-called "third-party" cookies). Some operations cannot 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: so-called session cookies, which are automatically deleted when the browser is closed; so-called persistent cookies, which remain on the user's device until a pre-set expiration date.
Under current Italian law, the use of cookies does not always require the user's express consent. Specifically, such consent is not required for so-called "technical" cookies, which are those used solely for the purpose of transmitting a communication over an electronic communications network, or to the extent strictly necessary to provide a service explicitly requested by the user. 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 procedures for providing information and obtaining consent for the use of cookies – May 8, 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.
Conversely, for so-called profiling cookies, i.e., those designed to create user profiles and used to send advertising messages in line with the preferences expressed by the user while browsing the internet, the user's prior consent is required.
