c.     Information processed through cookies

The Portal uses cookies.

What are cookies?

Cookies (or markers) are small text files sent by the web server visited by the user to the user's device ( usually to the user’s browser ), when the latter accesses a site for the purpose of storing and transporting information. They are stored so that they can recognize that device on the next visit. On each subsequent visit, in fact, cookies are resent from the user's device to the site.

Each cookie generally contains the name of the server from which the cookie was sent, the expiry date and a value, usually a unique number generated at random by the computer.

First party and third party cookies

Cookies can be installed not only by the same operator of the site visited by the user (first-party cookies), but also by a different site that installs them through the first site (third-party cookies) and is able to recognize them. This happens because on the site visited there may be elements (images, maps, sounds, links to web pages of other domains, etc.) that reside on servers other than that of the site visited.

Technical, analytical and profiling cookies

Depending on the purpose, cookies can be divided into technical cookies and profiling cookies .

Technical cookies are stored for the sole purpose of " carrying out the transmission of a communication over an electronic communication network or as strictly necessary for the supplier of an information society service explicitly requested by subscriber or user to provide the service " (see Art. 122, paragraph 1 of Privacy Code). They are usually used to enable efficient navigation between pages, store user preferences, store information on specific user configurations, perform user authentication, etc.

Technical cookies can be divided into navigation cookies, which are used to record data useful for the normal navigation and use of the website on the user's computer (e.g. allowing the user to remember the preferred page size in a list), and functional cookies, which allow the website to remember choices made by the user in order to optimize its functionality (e.g. functional cookies allow the website to remember specific user settings, such as country selection and, if set, permanent login status). Some of these cookies ( so-called “essential” or “ strictly necessary ) enable functions without which certain operations would not be possible.

Pursuant to the art. 122, paragraph 1 of the Privacy Code, technical cookies do not require consent, but it should be explained to the user what they do and why they are necessary or useful.

Pursuant to the Decision, analytical cookies are equivalent to technical cookies (and, therefore, users’ consent is not required) if :

i)                 are stored directly by the owner of the visited website with the purpose to collect aggregated information on the number of users and how they visit the website, or

ii)               created and made available by third parties if:

a.     used by the first party website for merely statistical purposes, where the ability to identify users is reduced (for example, through hiding significant portions of the IP address) and such data are processed just for make aggregate statistics in relation to a single website or a single mobile application (so there is no tracking of the navigation of the user on different applications or navigating different websites );

b.     such third parties, who provide the web measurement service, do not combine, enrich or cross-reference the data, even minimized as above, with other information available to them (e.g. customer files or statistics of visits to other sites) or transmit them to other third parties .  

Profiling cookies or similar markers (e.g. pixels, fingerprints, etc.) are used to track the user's browsing, analyse his/her behaviour for marketing purposes and create profiles on his/her tastes, habits, choices, etc. in order to send targeted advertising messages in relation to the user's interests and in line with the preferences expressed by the user when browsing online. Pursuant to Article 122 of the Privacy Code, these tools may be installed on the user's terminal only if the user has given his consent after being informed in the simplified manner indicated by the Italian Data Protection Authority (publication on the site of a ‘brief’ notice contained in a banner that appears immediately on the home page - or other page through which the user can access the site -, which refers to an ‘extended’ notice that can be accessed through a link that can be clicked by the user).

Permanent and session cookies

Based on their duration, cookies are divided into permanent, which remain stored, until their expiry date, on the user's device, unless removed by the user, and session cookies, which are not stored persistently on the user's device and disappear when the browser is closed.
