What are cookies and what are they used for
A cookie is a text file that a website visited by the user sends to their terminal (computer, mobile device such as a smartphone or tablet), where it is stored to then be sent back to that website on a subsequent visit to the same website.
Cookies are distinguished from each other:
- based on the entity that installs them, depending on whether it is the same operator of the visited website (so-called "first-party cookies") or a different entity (so-called "third-party cookies");
- based on the purpose of each cookie: some cookies allow for better navigation, by storing some of the user's choices, for example the language (so-called "technical cookies"), other cookies allow the user's navigation to be monitored also for the purpose of sending advertising and/or offering services in line with their preferences (so-called "profiling cookies").
Only profiling cookies require the user's prior consent to their use.
The Data Controller is exclusively responsible for first-party cookies installed on the Site by them.
In the "First-party technical cookies" section, you can view the types of first-party technical cookies issued by the Site.
The management of profiling cookies is described in the "Third-party profiling cookies" section.
