What are cookies

Cookies are small text files containing information automatically stored in your computer or in your mobile device when you enter the website. During subsequent visits, such information are re-transmitted and help to remember preferences and interests, improving the navigation experience on the site.
There are two main types of cookies: user authentication cookies (session) and consent to the use of cookies (persistent). The former are automatically cancelled at the end of the session (when you close the browser), the latter are stored in your computer and remains there until it expires or you remove it. Moreover, cookies can be classified by technical cookies and third party cookies.

Technical cookies (which don’t need user consent) are:
related to activities strictly necessary for the use and the provision of the service;
related to activities of remembering preferences and optimization (for example, flash player cookies, if they don’t exceed the session duration; shopping basket or language/currency storage cookies);
statistic cookies when directly used by the website manager to collect group of information.

Non-technical cookies do not require the user’s prior consent:
first and third party adv cookies;
re-targeting cookies;
social network cookies;
statistic cookies completely managed by third parties;

There are two analytics tools exempt from consent obligation:
analytics cookies directly installed either in the first part of the server or in the server farm without interaction with third parties (eg, tools like Piwik);
third-party-managed but anonymous cookies, i.e. whose analytics disaggregated data are not accessible to third parties at IP level.
