DEFINITION OF “COOKIE”.
COOKIES ARE SHORT FRAGMENTS OF TEXT (LETTERS AND/OR NUMBERS) THAT ALLOW THE WEB SERVER TO STORE INFORMATION ON THE CLIENT (THE BROWSER, E.G. INTERNET EXPLORER, CHROME, FIREFOX, OPERA, etc.) TO BE REUSED DURING THE SAME VISIT TO THE SITE (SESSION COOKIES) OR LATER, EVEN AFTER SEVERAL DAYS (PERSISTENT COOKIES). COOKIES ARE STORED, BASED ON THE USER’S PREFERENCES, BY THE SINGLE BROWSER ON THE SPECIFIC DEVICE USED (COMPUTER, TABLET, SMARTPHONE).
SIMILAR TECHNOLOGIES, SUCH AS, FOR EXAMPLE, WEB BEACON, TRANSPARENT GIFS, AND ALL FORMS OF LOCAL STORAGE INTRODUCED WITH HTML5, MAY BE USED TO COLLECT INFORMATION ABOUT USER BEHAVIOR AND USE OF THE SERVICES.
A COOKIE CANNOT RECALL ANY OTHER DATA FROM THE USER’S HARD DRIVE OR TRANSMIT COMPUTER VIRUSES OR ACQUIRE EMAIL ADDRESSES. EACH COOKIE IS UNIQUE TO THE USER’S WEB BROWSER. SOME OF THE FUNCTIONS OF COOKIES MAY BE DEPENDED ON OTHER TECHNOLOGIES. THE TERM ‘COOKIE’ IS USED TO REFER TO COOKIES AND ALL SIMILAR TECHNOLOGIES.
BASED ON THE CHARACTERISTICS AND USE OF COOKIES, VARIOUS TYPES OF COOKIES CAN BE DISTINGUISHED:
STRICTLY NECESSARY TECHNICAL COOKIES. THESE ARE COOKIES ESSENTIAL FOR THE CORRECT FUNCTIONING OF A WEBSITE THAT ARE USED TO MANAGE VARIOUS SERVICES RELATED TO THE WEBSITES (SUCH AS A LOGIN OR ACCESS TO RESERVED FUNCTIONS ON THE SITES). THE DURATION OF COOKIES IS STRICTLY LIMITED TO THE WORK SESSION OR THEY MAY REMAIN IN USE FOR A LONGER TIME IN ORDER TO REMEMBER THE VISITOR’S CHOICES. DEACTIVATING STRICTLY NECESSARY COOKIES MAY COMPROMISE THE EXPERIENCE OF USE AND NAVIGATION OF THE WEBSITE.
ANALYTICS AND PERFORMANCE COOKIES. THESE COOKIES ARE USED TO COLLECT AND ANALYZE TRAFFIC AND USE OF A WEBSITE IN AN ANONYMOUS WAY. THESE COOKIES, EVEN WITHOUT IDENTIFYING THE USER, ALLOW, FOR EXAMPLE, TO DETECT IF THE SAME USER RETURNS TO CONNECT AT DIFFERENT TIMES.
THEY ALSO ALLOW US TO MONITOR THE SYSTEM AND IMPROVE ITS PERFORMANCE AND USABILITY. THESE COOKIES CAN BE DEACTIVATED WITHOUT ANY LOSS OF FUNCTIONALITY AND WILL BE DISCUSSED IN DETAIL LATER.
PROFILING COOKIES. THESE ARE PERMANENT COOKIES USED TO IDENTIFY (ANONYMOUSLY OR NOT) THE USER’S PREFERENCES AND IMPROVE HIS BROWSING EXPERIENCE. 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).

PURPOSE OF THE PROCESSING AND PURPOSES OF TECHNICAL SESSION COOKIES.
THE TECHNICAL COOKIES USED ON THE SITE HAVE THE EXCLUSIVE PURPOSE OF PERFORMING COMPUTER AUTHENTICATIONS OR MONITORING SESSIONS AND STORAGE OF SPECIFIC TECHNICAL INFORMATION CONCERNING USERS WHO ACCESS THE SERVERS OF THE DATA CONTROLLER WHO MANAGES THE SITE. FROM THIS POINT OF VIEW, SOME OPERATIONS ON THE SITE CANNOT BE CARRIED OUT WITHOUT THE USE OF COOKIES, WHICH IN SUCH CASES ARE THEREFORE TECHNICALLY NECESSARY. BY WAY OF EXAMPLE, ACCESS TO ANY RESERVED AREAS OF THE SITE AND THE ACTIVITIES THAT MAY BE CARRIED OUT THERE WOULD BE MUCH MORE COMPLEX TO PERFORM AND LESS SECURE WITHOUT THE PRESENCE OF COOKIES THAT ALLOW USER TO BE IDENTIFIED AND MAINTAINED WITHIN THE SESSION.
IN ORDER TO ACHIEVE A CORRECT REGULATION OF SUCH DEVICES, IT IS NECESSARY TO DISTINGUISH THEM GIVEN THAT THERE ARE NO TECHNICAL CHARACTERISTICS THAT DIFFERENTIATE THEM FROM ONE OTHER PRECISELY ON THE BASIS OF THE PURPOSES PURSUED BY THOSE WHO USE THEM. MOREOVER, THE LEGISLATOR ITSELF HAS MOVED IN THIS DIRECTION, WHICH, IN IMPLEMENTATION OF THE PROVISIONS CONTAINED IN DIRECTIVE 2009/136/EC, HAS REFERRED TO THE OBLIGATION TO ACQUIRE THE PRIOR AND INFORMED CONSENT OF USERS TO THE INSTALLATION OF COOKIES USED FOR PURPOSES OTHER THAN MERELY TECHNICAL ONES (SEE ART. 1, PARAGRAPH 5, LETTER A), OF LEGISLATIVE DECREE. 28 MAY 2012, N. 69, WHICH AMENDED ART. 122 OF THE CODE). AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE SAME EUROPEAN BODY WHICH BRINGS TOGETHER ALL THE PRIVACY AUTHORITIES OF THE VARIOUS MEMBER STATES (THE CD “ARTICLE 29” GROUP) CLARIFIED IN OPINION 4/2012 (WP194) ENTITLED “EXEMPTION FROM CONSENT FOR THE USE OF COOKIES” THAT THESE ARE COOKIES FOR WHICH IT IS NOT NECESSARY TO ACQUIRE THE PRIOR AND INFORMED CONSENT OF THE USER:
- COOKIES WITH DATA COMPILED BY THE USER (SESSION IDENTIFIER), WITH A SESSIONAL DURATION OR PERSISTENT COOKIES LIMITED TO A FEW HOURS IN SOME CASES;
- AUTHENTICATION COOKIES, USED FOR THE PURPOSE OF AUTHENTICATED SERVICES, FOR THE DURATION OF ONE SESSION;
- USER-CENTERED SECURITY COOKIES, USED TO IDENTIFY AUTHENTICATION ABUSE, FOR A LIMITED PERSISTENT DURATION;
- SESSION COOKIES FOR MULTIMEDIA PLAYERS, SUCH AS COOKIES FOR “FLASH” PLAYERS, FOR THE DURATION OF ONE SESSION;
- SESSION COOKIES FOR LOAD BALANCING, FOR THE DURATION OF ONE SESSION;
- PERSISTENT COOKIES FOR THE CUSTOMIZATION OF THE USER INTERFACE, FOR THE DURATION OF A SESSION (OR A SLIGHTLY LONGER);
- COOKIES FOR SHARING CONTENT VIA THIRD-PARTY SOCIAL PLUG-INS, FOR LOGGED-IN MEMBERS OF A SOCIAL NETWORK.
THE DATA CONTROLLER THEREFORE INFORMS THAT ONLY TECHNICAL COOKIES (SUCH AS THOSE LISTED ABOVE) ARE OPERATIONAL ON THE SITE, WHICH ARE NECESSARY FOR NAVIGATING WITHIN THE SITE AS THEY ALLOW ESSENTIAL FUNCTIONS SUCH AS AUTHENTICATION, VALIDATION, MANAGEMENT OF A NAVIGATION SESSION AND FRAUD PREVENTION AND ALLOW, FOR EXAMPLE: TO IDENTIFY WHETHER THE USER HAS REGULARLY ACCESSED THE AREAS OF THE SITE THAT REQUIRE PRIOR AUTHENTICATION OR VALIDATION OF THE USER AND MANAGEMENT OF SESSIONS RELATING TO THE VARIOUS SERVICES AND APPLICATIONS OR THE STORAGE OF DATA FOR ACCESS IN A SECURE MODE OR THE CONTROL AND PREVENTION FUNCTIONS OF FRAUD.
FOR MAXIMUM TRANSPARENCY, A SERIES OF EXAMPLES OF TECHNICAL COOKIES AND CASES OF ARE LISTED BELOW
SPECIFIC OPERATIONS ON THE SITE:
COOKIES IMPLANTED DIRECTLY IN THE USER/CONTRACTOR’S TERMINAL (WHICH WILL NOT BE USED FOR OTHER PURPOSES) SUCH AS, FOR EXAMPLE, SESSION COOKIES USED TO “FILL THE CART” IN ONLINE BOOKINGS ON THE SITE, AUTHENTICATION COOKIES, COOKIES FOR MULTIMEDIA CONTENT SUCH AS FLASH PLAYER WHICH DO NOT EXCEED THE DURATION OF THE SESSION, PERSONALIZATION COOKIES (FOR EXAMPLE, FOR THE CHOICE OF THE NAVIGATION LANGUAGE, RECALLING THE COMPLETE ID AND PASSWORD BY TYPING THE FIRST CHARACTERS, ETC);
COOKIES USED TO STATISTICALLY ANALYZE ACCESSES/VISITS TO THE SITE (SO-CALLED “ANALYTICS” COOKIES) WHICH PURSUE EXCLUSIVELY STATISTICAL PURPOSES (AND NOT ALSO PROFILING OR MARKETING PURPOSES) AND COLLECT INFORMATION IN AGGREGATE FORM WITHOUT THE POSSIBILITY OF TRACING THE IDENTIFICATION OF THE INDIVIDUAL USER. IN THESE CASES, SINCE THE CURRENT LEGISLATION REQUIRES THAT FOR ANALYTICS COOKIES THE INTERESTED PARTY BE PROVIDED WITH A CLEAR AND ADEQUATE INDICATION OF THE SIMPLE METHODS FOR OPPOSITIONING (OPT-OUT) TO THEIR IMPLEMENTATION (INCLUDING ANY MECHANISMS FOR ANONYMIZATION OF THE COOKIES THEMSELVES), WE SPECIFY THAT IT IS POSSIBLE TO DEACTIVATE ANALYTICS COOKIES AS FOLLOWS: OPEN YOUR BROWSER, SELECT THE SETTINGS MENU, CLICK ON INTERNET OPTIONS, OPEN THE PRIVACY TAB AND CHOOSE THE DESIRED COOKIE BLOCKING LEVEL.

RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE OPERATION OF THIRD PARTY COOKIES.
IN THIS MATTER, REFERENCE IS MADE TO THE PROVISIONS OF THE GENERAL PROVISION OF THE PRIVACY GUARANTOR ON COOKIES OF 8 MAY 2014: “THERE ARE MANY REASONS WHY IT IS NOT POSSIBLE TO PLACE ON THE PUBLISHER THE OBLIGATION TO PROVIDE INFORMATION AND ACQUIRE CONSENT TO THE INSTALLATION OF COOKIES WITHIN ITS SITE, EVEN FOR THOSE INSTALLED BY “THIRD PARTIES”. FIRST OF ALL, THE PUBLISHER SHOULD ALWAYS HAVE THE TOOLS AND THE ECONOMIC-LEGAL CAPACITY TO TAKE CHARGE OF THE OBLIGATIONS OF THIRD PARTIES AND SHOULD THEREFORE ALSO BE ABLE TO VERIFY FROM TIME TO TIME THE CORRESPONDENCE BETWEEN WHAT IS DECLARED BY THE THIRD PARTIES AND THE PURPOSES THEY ACTUALLY PURSUE WITH THE USE OF COOKIES. THIS IS MADE VERY DIFFICULT BY THE FACT THAT THE PUBLISHER OFTEN DOES NOT DIRECTLY KNOW ALL THE THIRD PARTIES THAT INSTALL COOKIES THROUGH ITS SITE AND, THEREFORE, NOT EVEN THE LOGIC UNDERLYING THE RELEVANT TREATMENTS. FURTHERMORE, NOT INfrequently there are parties between the publisher and the third parties who act as licensees, making it very difficult for the publisher to control the activities of all the parties involved. THIRD-PARTY COOKIES COULD BE MODIFIED OVER TIME BY THE THIRD-PARTY SUPPLIERS AND IT WOULD BE UNFUNCTIONAL TO ASK PUBLISHERS TO KEEP TRACK OF THESE SUBSEQUENT MODIFICATIONS AS WELL.”
AS INDICATED BY THE PRIVACY GUARANTOR, THIS SITE DOES NOT HAVE THE POSSIBILITY TO CONTROL THIRD PARTY COOKIES IF IT USES THIRD PARTY SERVICES (YOUTUBE, GOOGLE MAPS, “SOCIAL BUTTONS”) FOR WHICH THE THIRD PARTIES ARE EXCLUSIVELY RESPONSIBLE. FURTHERMORE, THE USER IS REFERRED TO THE POSSIBILITY TO DELETE AND BLOCK THE OPERATION OF COOKIES AT ANY TIME ALSO USING PLUGINS FOR THE BROWSER AND MODIFYING THE SETTINGS AS INDICATED IN THE VARIOUS MANUALS CONTAINED IN THE BROWSERS.
MANDATORY OR OPTIONAL NATURE OF CONSENT FOR THE OPERATION OF COOKIES THAT DO NOT PURSUE MARKETING PURPOSES.
IT IS NOT MANDATORY TO ACQUIRE CONSENT TO THE OPERATION OF ONLY TECHNICAL COOKIES OR THIRD PARTY COOKIES OR ANALYTICAL COOKIES SIMILAR TO TECHNICAL COOKIES. DEACTIVATING THEM AND/OR REFUSAL TO THEIR OPERATION WILL RESULT IN THE IMPOSSIBILITY OF CORRECT NAVIGATION ON THE SITE AND/OR THE IMPOSSIBILITY OF USING THE SERVICES, PAGES, FUNCTIONS OR CONTENTS AVAILABLE THEREIN.
