Authorization to use cookies
Privacy Guarantor Resolution no. 229 of 8 May 2014
Cookies are small text strings that the sites visited by the user send to his terminal (usually to the browser), where they are stored before being re-transmitted to the same sites at the next visit by the same user. While browsing a site, the user may also receive cookies on his terminal that are sent from different sites or web servers (so-called “third parties”), on which some elements may reside (such as, for example, images, maps, sounds, specific links to pages of other domains) present on the site that the user is visiting.
The provision distinguishes between technical cookies and profiling cookies.
Technical cookies
Technical cookies are those used for the sole purpose of “carrying out the transmission of a communication over an electronic communications network, or to the extent strictly necessary for the provider of an information society service explicitly requested by the subscriber or user to provide this service” (see art. 122, paragraph 1, of the Privacy Code).
They are not used for further purposes and are normally installed directly by the owner or manager of the website, to guarantee normal navigation and use of the website (allowing, for example, to make a purchase or authenticate to access restricted areas). The installation of these cookies does not require the prior consent of users.
Profiling cookies
There are no profiling cookies on the site.
Blocking cookies
All browsers allow blocking the sending of cookies through their configuration options.
