Cookies

As set out by regulation n°229 of May 8th, 2014 of the Italian Data Protection Authority, there are two main categories of cookies:

 

Technical cookies

These are used for the sole purpose of “transmitting communications to an electronic communication network, or to the extent strictly necessary for the provision of a service by the information company explicitly requested by the contracting party or the user in order to provide the said service”.  These are not used for any ulterior purposes and they are normally installed directly by the owner or the manager of the website (so-called “proprietary” or “editorial” cookies). These can be divided into: browsing or session cookies, which guarantee normal navigation and use of the website (making it possible for example, to make purchases or be authenticated in order to access reserved areas); analytics cookies assimilated by the technical cookies where they are used directly by the manager of the website to collect information, in an associated form (anonymous), about the number of users and the manner in which they visit the website; functional cookies that allow the user to navigate in relation to a series of select criteria (for example, the language or the products selected for purchase) in order to improve the service provided, provided that we inform our users as set out by article 13 EU Regulation 2016/679.

Informed consent is not required for such cookies.

 

Profiling cookies

These are used to create profiles of the users and are employed for sending advertising messages according to the preferences shown during their online activity. Due to their invasiveness with regard to the users’ private sphere, European and Italian regulations require that users are adequately informed about their use and are thus required to express their valid consent. An Internet page, such as an online newspaper, contains several objects and each domain can set cookies, therefore web browsers allow, and support such technology. Their purpose is to register, and trace information connected to users’ experience, as they journey between pages, they recognise the users and remember their preferences and settings when they return to the website, in order to deliver relevant contents and advertising. Disabling profiling cookies may have a negative impact on users’ browsing experience.
