WHAT ARE COOKIES
Cookies are computer files or partial data that can be saved on your computer (or other devices enabled for internet browsing, for example smartphones or tablets) when you visit a site. Usually a cookie contains the name of the website from which the cookie was sent. itself comes, the “lifespan” of the cookie (i.e. how long it will remain on your device), and a value, which is usually a unique number generated randomly.
TYPES OF COOKIES
Two types of cookies can be used on sites: ‘session cookies’ and ‘persistent cookies’.
• session cookies: are temporary cookies that remain on your device until you leave the site.
• persistent cookies: these are cookies that remain on your device for much longer or until you delete it manually (how long the cookie remains on your device will depend on the ‘lifespan’ of the cookie in question and your browser settings).
Some of the pages you visit may also collect information through ‘pixel tags’ (also known as ‘clear gifs’) which may be shared with third parties who directly assist promotional activities and the development of websites. For example, information on the use of websites relating to people who visit the sites may be shared with advertising agencies to optimally target advertising banners on websites.
Another subdivision of type of Cookies – indicated by the Guarantor for the protection of personal data – is between Technical Cookies, Profiling Cookies, First-party Cookies, Third-party Cookies.
• Technical Cookies: these are cookies used to navigate or provide a service requested by the user. They are not used for other purposes and are normally installed directly by the website owner. Without the use of these cookies, some operations could not be carried out or would be more complex and/or less secure, such as home banking activities (viewing the account statement, bank transfers, payment of bills, etc.), for such as cookies, which allow the user to be identified and maintained within the session, are essential.
• Profiling Cookies: these are cookies used to track the user’s browsing on the internet and create profiles on their tastes, habits, choices, etc. With these cookies, advertising messages can be transmitted to the user’s terminal in line with the preferences already expressed by the user while browsing online.
• First-part cookies, i.e. cookies generated and managed directly by the operator of the website on which the user is browsing.
• Third-party cookies, which are generated and managed by parties other than the operator of the website on which the user is browsing (as a rule, by virtue of a contract between the owner of the website and the third part)
COOKIES USED

1. navigation or session cookies, which guarantee normal navigation and use of the website (allowing, for example, authentication to access restricted areas);
2. analytics cookies, assimilated to technical cookies when used directly by the site manager to collect information, in aggregate form, on the number of users and how they visit the site itself;
3. functionality cookies, which allow the user to navigate according to a series of selected criteria (for example, the language) in order to improve the service provided.
