WHAT ARE COOKIES
A cookie is a small text file that is stored on computers – and any other device used to browse the internet such as a tablet, smartphone or mobile phone – to hold browsing information and user preferences.
TYPES OF COOKIES
Cookies can be classified as follows:
Session cookies: these have a limited duration and are removed as soon as when the user closes the browser after a visit to the site;
Persistent cookies: these cookies remain in the device used to browse the internet for a specified amount of time. These typically have an expiration date and the time they remain on the device will vary depending on the kind of cookies;
Based on their purpose, cookies can also be either:
Technical cookies (they are essential and strictly necessary for the website to operate correctly; navigation of a website and/or use of certain features may be impossible without technical cookies)
Analytical cookies (they are used to make or acquire statistical analysis on the use of the website, to improve the website and to monitor its correct functioning)
Profiling cookies (they are used to track user navigation and create a profile of their habits which can then be used to send advertising messages to the user’s device).
Finally, it is possible to draw a distinction between:
First party cookies (cookies that are sent by the website being visited) Third party cookies (cookies that are sent by third parties via the website being visited)
