7.3 What types of cookies exist?
Please, find below the types of cookies generally used in websites:
7.3.1 Technical cookies
There are many technologies used to store information in the users’ PC; then, such information are collected by other sites. The technology most appreciated, well known and used is that of HTML cookies. HTML cookies are used to surf the net and to allow an easy access and use of websites by users. They are necessary for the transmission of communication on the electronic network, i.e. to the service supplier to meet the users’ requests.
Cookies introduced into the browser and re-transmitted by means of Google Analytics or by the statistic service of bloggers or similar are to be considered technical only if used by this Site owner to optimize it; in this case, the owner shall, in an aggregate way, collect information about the number of the users and how they visit this Site. Under these conditions, the same rules provided for technical cookies apply for analytics cookies, in terms of disclosure and consent.
From the point of view of duration we can distinguish the temporary session cookies, automatically deleted after every single browsing session and used to identify the user, avoiding the login for every page visited, from the permanent cookies, which remain active in the PC until the expiring date or cancellation by users.
Session cookies may be installed in order to allow access and stay in the reserved area of the web-portal as an authenticated user.
They are not stored permanently but only for the duration of the net surfing until the browser is closed; then, they disappear when it gets closed. Their use is strictly limited to the transmission of session identifiers consisting of random numbers generated by the server and necessary to allow a safe and efficient Site surfing.
7.3.2 Third Party Cookies
According to their origin, cookies can be distinguished the cookies sent to the browser directly from the Site surfed and those sent to the PC by Third Parties from other websites.
Permanent cookies are often Third Party cookies.
Most Third Parties cookies are tracking cookies used to identify online behavior and understand the general interests so as to customize advertising and proposals for the final users.
Third Party analytics cookies are used to detect information on general users’ behavior when surfing the net. Data collection is carried on anonymously, so as to monitor performances and improve the Site usability. Third Parties profiling cookies are used to create profiles related to users, so as to submit ad messages in line with the choices expressed by the users themselves while surfing the net.
The use of such cookies is ruled by the regulation set by the Third Parties themselves. Therefore users are always invited to read the various privacy policies and indications to manage or disable the cookies published on every single web page (see below).
7.3.3 Profiling Cookies
Profiling cookies are those aimed at creating user profiles and are used to send ad messages in line with the preferences expressed by users while surfing the net. When these types of cookies are used, users shall give explicit consent to data processing. Art. 22 of UE regulation 2016/679 (GDPR – General Data Protection Regulation) and Art. 122 of Italian D.Lgs. 196/2003 (Personal Data Protection Code) shall be applied to data processing. In this sense, the provision on use of cookies edited by the Guarantor on 2014, May 8th – as well as its subsequent clarifications – shall also be taken into account.
