1. GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT COOKIE


1.1 DEFINITION

Cookies are small text files which the website visited by user sends to the user’s devices, where they are memorized in order to be sent back later to the website during subsequent visits by the user. Cookies are used for many purposes, they have different features and they can be used both by the data controller of the site which the user is visiting and by third parties. The main categories in which cookies can be divided are the following:
• session and persistent cookies;
• technical and profiling cookies;
• first party and third party cookies.

1.2 SESSION AND PERSISTEN COOKIES

Cookies can be erased at the end of a session with the browser (the time period between opening and closing of web browser by the user) or can be stored for a longer term. Session cookies are those allowing the web sites to link users’ actions during a browser session. Session cookies expire when the browser session ends. Persistent cookies are stored in the user’s hard drive among browser’s subfolders for variable period of time and allow to record user’s preference and actions in relation to a web site.

1.3 TECHNICAL AND PROFILLING COOKIES
Technical cookies are those used by the data controller of a web site for the sole purpose of transmitting a communication on an electronic communications network or, as strictly necessary, for sending to the provider of a service of a company the information explicitly requested by the subscriber or user to deliver that service. For the installation of such technical cookies, the prior consent of the person involved is not required where used directly from the site manager.
Profiling cookies are used to create profiles relating to the user and to send advertising messages in line with the preferences expressed by the user in the context of browsing the net. Due to particular invasiveness which such cookies can have within the ambit of users’ privacy, European and Italian legislation provides that the user must be adequately informed about their use by a banner and detailed note on the Site and must give his/her own explicit consent to this extent the first time visiting the Site. Such a consent can be expressed in general way by interacting with the banner on the home page of the Site and following the instructions indicated therein, or can be given or refused in selective manner by way of the following instructions. This consent is then stored to be used over the next visits. However, the user has always the possibility to withdraw totally or partially his/her consent already expressed.

1.4 FIRST PARTY AND THIRD PARTY COOKIES
Cookies can be first party (so called “first party cookie”) or third party (so called “third party cookie”) in relation to the web site or domain where they come from.
First party cookies are set up and managed by the Data Controller of the Site. As regards them, the information obligation about acquiring the contingent prior consent and/or the possible block of cookies is a Data Controller’s duty.
Third party cookies are set up by a different domain from that one visited by the user. As regards them, the information obligation and the possible instructions about the contingent consent and/or the block of cookies is a third party duty, whereas the Data Controller is asked only to insert in the Site the link of third party’s site where such information is available.
