General Information

Cookies are small text strings (usually formed by letters and numbers) that allow a website to recognise a particular device or browser. In fact, these text files are sent from a website to the user’s browser and subsequently stored on the device (e.g. computers, tablets, smartphones etc.) and transmitted back to the website during the user's next visit. There are different types of cookies with different characteristics, and can be classified as:

• Session cookies, deleted immediately when the browser is closed.
• Persistent cookies, which remain saved on the device, continuing to operate even after closing the browser and until a certain period of time has elapsed.
• First-party cookies are cookies generated and managed by the owner of the website that the user is browsing.
• Third-party cookies are cookies managed by a third party other than the owner of the website the user is browsing. The owner of the website that the user is browsing is unable to exercise any specific control over these cookies. For information on their characteristics and methods of operation, consult the cookie policies provided by the third parties. The use of third-party cookies can normally be inhibited by the user by updating the settings in their browser. For more information on how to do this please consult the instructions in the "cookie management" section. Cookies can be traced back to three functional macro-categories: technical cookies, analytical cookies and profiling cookies.

• Technical cookies are generally necessary for the proper operation of the website and to allow browsing. Without them the visitor might not be able to view the pages correctly or use some services. For example, a technical cookie is essential to keep the user connected throughout the visit to a website or to store the language, display settings and so on. The consent of the data subject is not required for the installation and use of technical cookies.

These cookies can be divided into:
- Browsing or session cookies (they guarantee normal browsing and use of the website).
- Function cookies (allow the user to browse based on a series of selected criteria – e.g. language setting – in order to improve the service rendered).

• Analytical cookies. These are cookies used to collect and analyse traffic and use of the website. These cookies, even without identifying the user, make it possible for example to detect if the same user returns to connect at different times. They also allow monitoring the system and improving its performance and usability. These cookies can be disabled without any loss of functionality. If used anonymously, without aligning them with other data already held, and to collect information in aggregate form on the number of users and how they visit the website, they are considered the same as technical cookies. In this case the consent of the data subject is not required.
• Profiling cookies. These are cookies used to identify and track the preferences expressed by the user when browsing the Internet, for example allowing the sending of targeted advertising messages. They are used to create user profiles and to send advertising messages that are consistent with their preferences as manifested while browsing the Internet. The installation and use of such types require the consent of the Data Subject.
