What are COOKIES?

Cookies are small strings of text that a website can send to your device (whether it’s a PC, a notebook, a smartphone, a tablet) while you are browsing the internet. Usually they are stored directly on the browser used for navigation. The same website that sent them, can then read and record the cookies that are on the said device in order to obtain different types of information. Which ones? Well, each type of cookie has a well-defined role.

How many types of COOKIE exist?

There are two main basic categories of cookies, with different characteristics. Technical cookies and profiling cookies. Technical cookies are generally required for the proper operation of the website and to allow navigation; without them you may not be able to properly display pages or to use certain services. For example, a technical cookie is necessary to keep the user connected throughout the visit to a website or to save the language setting, pages visited, and so on. Technical cookies can be further divided into:

• navigation cookies, which guarantee the normal navigation and use of the website (for example, this allows the user to make a purchase or to authenticate access to reserved areas);
• analytical cookies, similar to technical cookies only if used directly by the site operator to collect information, in aggregate form, such as the number of users and how they visit the site.
• function cookies, which allow the user to browse based on a set of selected criteria (for example language or products selected for purchase) in order to improve the service rendered.

Profiling cookies are more sophisticated! These cookies have the job of profiling the user and are aimed at sending appropriate advertising messages to the user based on the preferences shown during navigation.

Cookies can also be classified as:

• session cookies, which are deleted immediately once the navigation browser is closed.
• persistent cookies, which unlike session cookies, remain within the browser for a certain period of time. They are used, for example, to recognize the device that connected to the site and therefore facilitate the authentication process for the user.
• first-party cookies, which are generated and managed directly by the manager 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 ( there must be a contract between the owner of the website and the third party).
