What Are Cookies

In practical, non-technical terms, a cookie can be considered a tracking system consisting of a small file stored by the website on the user’s browsing device. It is used to save preferences expressed during navigation and to improve website performance, optimizing the browsing experience.

Technically speaking, cookies are defined as text strings (usually composed of letters and numbers) that websites (so-called “first parties”) visited by the user, or different websites/web servers (so-called “third parties”), place and store, directly and/or indirectly, on a terminal device (PC, tablet, smartphone, etc.) available to the user. The servers used for browsing the internet or operating the device may store cookies and later retransmit them to the same websites that generated them, upon the user’s subsequent visit. Specifically, these tracking tools allow the Site to recognize a particular device or browser.

Types of Cookies and Their Purposes

Cookies may be classified as follows:

  • Technical Cookies: Used solely to carry out the transmission of a communication over an electronic communications network, or to the extent strictly necessary for the provider of an information society service explicitly requested by the subscriber or user, as per Article 122(1) of the Privacy Code. These cookies do not require user consent but must be disclosed in the cookie policy.

  • Profiling Cookies: Used to associate specific actions or behavioral patterns to identified or identifiable individuals to customize the service provided and send advertising messages in line with the preferences expressed by the user during navigation.

  • Analytics Cookies: Installed on the user’s device by the website operator or by third-party websites. Third-party cookies, mainly used for analytical purposes, often derive from Google Analytics features. More information on Google Analytics is available at: http://www.google.it/intl/en/analytics. In any case, cookies do not allow the identification of the user and are intended to refer to the individual device or application in order to avoid tracking of the user’s navigation data. Analytics cookies may be treated as technical cookies, and thus exempt from user consent, if the following conditions are met:

– Their use is limited to producing aggregate statistics relating to the website visited by the user;
– For third-party analytics cookies, the fourth component of the tracked IP address must be masked;
– The third party must be prevented from combining analytics cookies with other processing or transmitting them to further third parties.

Applicable Regulations

For the use of technical cookies and other tracking tools, the data controller is only required to provide a specific notice to the data subject. For cookies and other tracking tools used for purposes other than technical ones, use is permitted only after obtaining the informed consent of the user, which must be given through an unequivocal action under Recital 32 of the Regulation.

Consent Mechanism

The data controller ensures a consent acquisition mechanism through the presentation of a banner upon the user’s first visit to the website.

The banner includes:

  • An X at the top right corner, which signifies the user’s denial of consent;

  • A brief notice stating that the website uses technical cookies and, only with the user’s consent, also profiling cookies;

  • A link to the privacy policy and cookie policy;

  • A button through which the user can give consent;

  • A link to a dedicated area for selecting and customizing cookie preferences, allowing users to freely consent to specific functionalities, providers, and cookies.

If the user does not consent to the use of cookies and other tracking tools or consents only to the use of certain cookies, this choice will be recorded and not requested again, except in the following cases:

  • One or more conditions of the processing change significantly;

  • It is impossible for the website operator to determine whether a cookie has already been stored on the device;

  • At least six months have passed since the previous banner was shown.

Legal Basis for Processing

The legal basis for processing technical cookies is the legitimate interest of the data controller under Article 6(f) of the GDPR, as they are necessary for the functioning of the website. For non-technical cookies, the legal basis is the user’s explicit and revocable consent under Article 6(a) of the GDPR.
