2. COOKIE POLICY

Definitions, characteristics and application of regulations

Cookies are small text files that are sent  by sites visited by a user and saved to their computer or mobile device, which are then retransmitted to the site at the next visit. Through the use of cookies, a site remembers the actions and preferences of the user (such as log-in data, preferred language, character size, other settings, etc.) so that they don't have to be set again each time the user returns to the site or visits other pages on the site itself. Cookies are used to carry out IT authentication, session monitoring and memorizing information regarding the activities of the users that access a site and may also contain  a unique ID code that allows them to track user activity within the site for statistical or advertising purposes. While browsing the site, the user's computer may also receive cookies from web sites or web servers other than the one being visited (see "third party" cookies). Some operations cannot be carried out without the use of cookies, and in some cases they are technically necessary for the functioning of the site itself.
There are many types of cookie, according to their characteristics and functions, and they can remain on the user’s computer for varying lengths of time: e.g. session cookies, which are automatically deleted upon closing the browser; persistent cookies, which remain on the user's device for a pre-determined period.
Under current Italian regulations, user consent is not always requested for the use of cookies. In particular, " technical cookies" do not require consent, i.e. cookies used exclusively to carry out transmission of a communication on an electronic communication network, or those directly necessary in order to provide a service explicitly requested by the user. These cookies are indispensable for the functioning of the site or are necessary to carry out activities requested by the user.
According to the Italian Personal Data Protection Supervisor (see: Identification Provision for simplified mode of information and acquisition of consent for the use of cookies, 8th May 2014, and successive clarifications, hereafter: "Provision"), the term technical cookies, i.e. those which do not require the consent of the user, also covers:
    
•    "analytics cookies" when used directly by the site manager in order to collect statistical information about the number of users and how they use the site,
    
•    browsing and session cookies (for authentication),
    
•    functional cookies, which allow the user to browse according to a series of criteria selected (e.g. language, products selected for purchase) in order to improve the service for the user.
    
On the other hand, "persistent cookies", i.e. those which create a profile of the user and are used in order to send advertising according to preferences expressed through online browsing activity, require the express consent of the user.
