1. What are cookies and for what purposes can they be used?

A “cookie” is a small text file created by certain websites on the user’s computer when the user accesses a given website, for the purpose of storing and transmitting information. Cookies are sent by a web server (i.e. the computer on which the visited website is running) to the user’s browser (Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome, etc.) and stored on the user’s computer; they are then re-sent to the website at the time of subsequent visits.

Certain operations could not be performed without the use of cookies, which, in some cases, are therefore technically necessary. In other cases, the website uses cookies to facilitate and enhance the user’s browsing experience or to allow the user to use specific services.

Cookies may remain in the system for long periods and may also contain a unique identification code. This enables the websites that use them to track the user’s browsing within the website itself for statistical or advertising purposes, i.e. to create a personalised user profile based on the pages visited and then show and/or send targeted advertising (so-called Behavioural Advertising).

With the introduction of HTML5, various forms of local storage and similar technologies, such as web beacons, tracking pixels and transparent GIFs, are available and can be used to collect information about the user’s behaviour, choices and use of services.

Which cookies are used and for what main purposes?

The cookies used can be divided into four categories:

• Technical cookies: aimed at managing the website. They enable the secure and efficient operation and navigation of the website;
• Functionality cookies: they facilitate navigation and the service provided to the user based on a set of criteria selected by the user;
• Analytical cookies: they collect information in aggregate form on users’ browsing in order to optimise the browsing experience and the services themselves;
• Profiling cookies: they create user profiles in order to send advertising messages in line with the preferences expressed by the user while browsing.

There are also further types of cookies, which can be divided as follows:

Based on duration:

• Session cookies: they are deleted immediately when the browsing browser is closed;
• Persistent cookies: they remain within the browser for a specific period of time. They are used, for example, to recognise the device connecting to the site, thus facilitating user authentication operations.
