Technical cookies : technical cookies, used for the sole purpose of “carrying out the transmission of a communication on an electronic communications network, or to the extent strictly necessary for the provider of an information society service explicitly requested by the contracting party or user to provide such a service” (see Section 122, paragraph 1 of the Code). They are not used for other purposes and are normally installed directly by the owner or manager of the website. They can be divided into:
– navigation or session cookies, which ensure normal navigation and use of the website (allowing, for example, to make a purchase or authenticate to access restricted areas); they are in fact necessary for the proper functioning of the site;
– analytical cookies with anonymous user data (e.g. browsing IP), assimilated 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, in order to improve the performance of the site;
– functionality cookies, which allow the user to browse according to a series of selected criteria (e.g., language, products selected for purchase) in order to improve the service rendered to the same. The prior consent of users is not required for the installation of these cookies (more information in the paragraph Cookie management below).
Profiling cookies : profiling cookies, used to trace back to determined, identified or identifiable subjects, specific actions or behavioural patterns recurring in the use of the functions offered (patterns) in order to group the different profiles within homogeneous clusters of different sizes, so that it is also possible for the Data Controller to modulate the provision of the service in an increasingly personalized way beyond what is strictly necessary to provide the service, as well as to send targeted advertising messages, i.e. in line with the preferences expressed by the user in the context of web browsing.
In the case of third-party cookies, the site does not have direct control over individual cookies and cannot control them (it can neither install them directly nor delete them). You can still manage these cookies through your browser settings or the sites indicated in the “Accepting and opting out of cookies” section.
