What cookies are?
Cookies are small text files which are stored on a user’s computer or mobile device to be sent back on the user’s next visit.
There are many types of cookie, with various different characteristics and persistence features.
Some cookies are deleted automatically when the browser is closed; others remain on the user’s device until an expiration date is reach. This expiration date is set by the website publisher or its suppliers (so-called third-party cookies).
Installing a cookie can represent a potential threat to the user’s privacy. That is why domestic and European legislation requires that users are informed about how cookies are used by website publishers.
In order to use certain cookies, the user must provide his/her consent. For other types of cookie, however, this consent is not required.
Cookies used for the sole purpose of transmitting a communication over an electronic communications network, or used to the extent strictly necessary to provide a service explicitly requested by the user do not need consent and are defined as “technical cookies”.
However, the user can manage his/her cookie preferences through his/her browser settings, preventing any cookie from being stored.
