What are cookies

In practical and non-technical terms, the cookie can be considered a tracking system that consists of a small file, stored by the website in the user’s device used with the aim of saving the preferences expressed during navigation and improving the performance of the website, optimizing the browsing experience.

In technical terms, cookies are defined as text strings (generally formed by the combination of letters and numbers) that websites (cd. first parts) visited by the user or websites / different web servers (cd. third parties) place and store, directly and/or indirectly within a terminal device (pc, tablet, smartphone, etc.) that is available to the user. Servers for browsing the Internet or for the operation of the device can store cookies and then retransmit them to the same sites that generated them, for a subsequent visit of the same user. Specifically, these tracking tools allow the Site to recognize a particular device or browser.

Types of cookies and related purposes

Cookies can be classified into:

• Technical cookies used for the purpose of transmitting a communication over an electronic communication network, or to the extent strictly necessary to the provider of an information society service explicitly requested by the contractor or user to provide such service as provided for by art. 122 paragraph 1 of the Privacy Code. These types of cookies do not require the acquisition of consent by the user but must be indicated in the cookie policy.
• Profiling cookies used to lead to specific, identified or identifiable subjects, specific actions or behavioural patterns in order to allow the owner to modulate the provision of the service in a more personalized way and send advertising messages in line with the preferences expressed by the user during navigation.
• Analytics cookies installed on the user’s terminal by operators of the visited site or third-party sites. Third-party cookies, mainly for analysis purposes, derive mostly from the functionality of Google Analytics. You can find out more about Google Analytics by clicking on the following link: http://www.google.it/intl/it/analytics. In any case, cookies do not allow the data subject to be identified and are intended for the individual device or application to avoid the tracking of user navigation data. Analytics cookies can be treated in the same way as technical cookies, and therefore, regardless of the user’s consent, to the use of the following conditions:
• The use is limited to the production of aggregate statistics that can be used in relation to the site visited by the user;
• In reference to third party analytics cookies, the fourth part of the IP address must be masked as tracking object;
• Regarding the analytics cookies of third parties, the third party must be prevented from using analytics cookies in combination with other processing or transmit them to other third parties.

Applicable law

For the use of cookies and other technical tracking tools, the data controller is subject to the obligation to provide a specific information to the data subject. Regarding cookies and other tracking tools for purposes other than technical ones, use is allowed only after obtaining the user’s informed consent, which must be expressed with an unequivocal act pursuant to Recital 32.

Acquisition mechanism of consent

The data controller guarantees the mechanism of obtaining consent through the presentation of a banner at the first access of the user to the site.

The banner contains:

• an X in the upper right that is equivalent to the lack of consent by the user.
• a short information in which it is represented that the site uses technical cookies and only, after obtaining the user’s consent, also profiling cookies.
• a link to the privacy policy and the cookie policy.
• a command by which the user expresses his consent.
• a link to an area dedicated to the choice and customization of cookies, in which the user can freely give his consent with respect to the features, the providers and the specific cookies that he intends to accept.

If the user does not consent to the use of cookies and other tracking tools and in the event that the user has chosen to give his consent only for the use of certain cookies, the choice is recorded and no longer solicited, except in the following cases:

• when one or more treatment conditions significantly change
• when it is impossible for the site operator to know whether a cookie has already been stored in the device
• when at least 6 months have passed after the previous presentation of the banner.
