  1. TYPE, PURPOSE AND OPERATION

Depending on their permanence, cookies may be divided into session or persistent cookies. The former expire when the user closes the browser. The latter expire when the purpose they serve has been met (e.g. so that the user remains identified on the website) or when manually deleted.

Additionally, depending on their purpose, cookies may be classified as follows:

– Strictly necessary (Technical) cookies: these are essential for the proper functioning of the site. They are usually generated when the user accesses or logs on to the website and are used to identify you on the website for the following purposes:

  – To continue to identify the user, if you leave the site, the browser or device, and return at another time to access the website, you will continue to be identified, thereby facilitating browsing without having to identify yourself again.

   – To check whether the user is authorized to access certain services or areas of the website.

Performance cookies: these are used to improve the browsing experience and optimize website operations, such as storing service configurations, or storing purchases in a shopping cart.

Advertising cookies: these collect information on the ads displayed to users of the website. They can be of two types:

   – Anonymous: these only collect information about advertising spaces shown on the website, regardless of the user accessing the website, i.e. without explicitly identifying the user.

   – Custom: these gather personal information on the website user via a third party company, to customize such advertising spaces.

Geo-location cookies: these cookies are used to ascertain which country or region users are located in when accessing a website service in order to provide content and services appropriate to their location.

Analytics cookies: these gather information about the user’s browsing experience on the website, usually anonymously, but sometimes also to identify the user both uniquely and unambiguously in order to obtain information about user interests in the services provided by the website.

We may also use other Internet technologies, such as Web beacons or pixel tags and other similar technologies, to deliver or communicate with cookies and track your use of the services.
