What are cookies and what are they used for?
Cookies are small text strings (files) that the sites visited by the user send to the device (usually the browser), where they are stored before being retransmitted to the same sites on subsequent visits.
Cookies, in addition to allowing the site to function efficiently and improving its performance, allow us to offer the user a better browsing experience by, for example, allowing the user to memorise their preferences (language, currency, etc.).
The use of cookies is therefore aimed at monitoring sessions, performing computer authentication and storing information on specific configurations by users.
Blocking or removing cookies could therefore cause incomplete use of the services provided by the site.
Types of cookies
Cookies are mainly divided into:
• Technical cookies: they are used to allow navigation based on a series of selected criteria in order to improve the user's service (choice of language, products selected for purchase or authentication to access reserved areas).
For these cookies, prior consent from the user is not required (pursuant to Article 122, paragraph 1, of the Privacy Code, in the formulation in force following the entry into force of Legislative Decree 69/2012).
• Profiling cookies: They are used to send advertising messages in line with the preferences expressed by the user while browsing the web and are aimed at creating user profiles.
