What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files that allow the web server to store information on the user’s browser to be reused during the same visit to the site or later, even days later. Cookies are stored, based on the user’s preferences, by the individual browser on the device being used (computer, tablet, smartphone).

What are the main types of cookies?

  1. technical cookies
    Technical cookies are used to carry out navigation or to provide a service requested by the user.
    These kinds of cookies are used, for example, to perform computer authentication, session tracking, and storage of specific information about users accessing a web page.
    They are often useful because they can make web browsing and enjoyment faster and quicker, because for example they intervene to facilitate certain procedures when you shop online, when you authenticate to restricted areas, or when a website automatically recognizes the language you usually use.
    They are not used for any further purposes and are normally installed directly by the website owner.
  2. analytics cookies
    Analytics cookies are assimilated to technical cookies where they are used directly by the site operator to collect information, in aggregate form, on the number of users and how they visit the site.
  3. profiling cookies
    Profiling cookies, are used to track the user’s browsing on the web and create profiles on their tastes, habits, choices, etc. With these cookies can be transmitted to the user’s terminal advertising messages in line with the preferences already expressed by the same user in the online navigation.
    It may also happen that a web page contains profiling cookies from other sites and contained in various elements hosted on the page itself, such as advertising banners, images, videos, etc. We speak, in these cases, of so-called third-party cookies. So the cookies you download on your pc, smartphone and tablet can also be read by other parties, different from those who manage the web pages you visit.
