WHAT ARE COOKIES?

A cookie is a file that is downloaded to your computer when you access certain web pages. Among other things, cookies allow a website to store and retrieve information about the browsing habits of a user or their device and, depending on the information they contain and how you use your device, they can be used to recognise the user. Cookies are associated only with an anonymous user and their computer or device, and do not provide references that would allow your personal data to be identified.

COOKIES COVERED BY THE REGULATIONS AND EXEMPT COOKIES

According to the EU directive, the cookies that require the user’s informed consent are analytics cookies and advertising and affiliate cookies. Technical cookies and those necessary for the operation of the website or the provision of services expressly requested by the user are exempt.

TYPES OF COOKIES

  1. a) Depending on the entity that manages them, there are first-party cookies (those sent to the user’s terminal from a computer or domain managed by the publisher itself, from which the service requested by the user is provided) and third-party cookies (those sent to the user’s terminal from a computer or domain not managed by the publisher but by another entity that processes the data obtained through the cookies).
  2. b) Depending on how long they remain active, there are session cookies (designed to collect and store data while the user accesses a web page) and persistent cookies (where the data are stored on the terminal and can be accessed and processed for a period defined by the party responsible for the cookie, which can range from a few minutes to several years).
  3. c) Depending on the purpose for which they process the information they collect, they can be:

– Technical cookies (necessary to use the website and provide the contracted service),

– Analytics cookies (which collect information about how the website is used),

– Advertising cookies (which collect information about users’ personal preferences and choices),

Cookies can be restricted or blocked through your browser settings.
