Definitions

Cookies are small text strings that the sites visited by the user send to his 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 on his terminal from different sites or web servers (so-called "third parties"), on which some elements present on the site he is visiting may reside. 

Duration of cookies

Some cookies (session cookies) remain active only until the browser is closed. Other cookies "survive" when the browser is closed and are available on subsequent visits by the user. These cookies are called persistent and their duration is set by the server at the time of their creation. In some cases the duration is unlimited.

Types of cookies

For the purposes of the legislation contained in the Privacy Code, cookies can be divided into two macro-categories based on their use: "technical" cookies and "profiling" cookies.

Technical cookies

Technical cookies 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 art. 122, paragraph 1, of the Privacy Code).

These cookies are used to browse or provide a service requested by the user. Without the use of these cookies, some operations could not be carried out or would be more complex and / or less secure, such as home banking activities (viewing the account statement, wire transfers, bill payment, etc.), for such as cookies, which allow the identification of the user to be made and maintained during the session, are indispensable.

They belong to this category:

Profiling cookies

Profiling cookies are used to create user profiles and they 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, they require the explicit consent of the user.

Third party cookies

These cookies can be disabled and deleted through the browser settings, as indicated below. Disabling these cookies could adversely affect the performance of the sites and may make some features and services unavailable.
