COOKIES
Cookies are usually strings of text that websites (so-called Publishers, or “first parties”) visited by the user or different websites or web servers (so-called “third parties”) place and store – directly, in the case of publisher and indirectly, i.e. through the latter, in the case of “third parties” – within a terminal device available to the user himself.
The terminals referred to are, for example, a computer, a tablet, a smartphone, or any other device capable of storing information. Already today, and even more so in the future, CDs must also be included among them. IoT devices (Internet of Things), which are designed to connect to the network and to each other to provide various types of services, not necessarily limited to mere communication.
Software for browsing the internet and the operation of these devices, for example browsers, can store cookies and then transmit them again to the sites that generated them on the occasion of a subsequent visit by the same user, thus maintaining memory of his previous interaction with one or more websites.
The information encoded in cookies may include personal data, such as an IP address, a username, a unique identifier or an email address, but may also contain non-personal data, such as language settings or information about the type of device that a person is using to navigate the site.
Cookies can therefore perform important and different functions, including monitoring sessions, storing information on specific configurations regarding users who access the server, facilitating the use of online content, etc. For example, they can be used to track items in an online shopping cart or information used to fill out a computer form.
Cookies and, to a large extent, other tracking tools can have different characteristics in terms of time and therefore be considered based on their duration (session or permanent), or from a subjective point of view (depending on whether the publisher acts independently or on behalf of the “third party”).
The classification that responds to the rationale of the law and therefore also to the needs of personal protection, is the one that is ultimately based on macro-categories:
– technical cookies, used for the sole purpose of “carrying out the transmission of a communication over an electronic communications network, or to the extent strictly necessary for the provider of an information society service explicitly requested by the contractor or by the user to provide this service” (see art. 122, paragraph 1 of the Code);
– profiling cookies, used to trace specific actions or recurring behavioral patterns to specific, identified or identifiable subjects in the use of the features offered (patterns) for the purpose of grouping the different profiles within homogeneous clusters of different sizes, so that it is possible for the owner, among other things, to modulate the provision of the service in an increasingly personalized way beyond what is strictly necessary for the provision of the service, as well as to send targeted advertising messages, i.e. in line with the preferences expressed by the user when browsing the internet.
– monitoring cookies or “analytics”
analytics cookies are used to collect statistical information, in aggregate or non-aggregated form, on the number of users who access the Site and how they visit the Site itself. The user’s consent is necessary in the case of third-party analytics cookies (for example, Google) that allow the user’s IP address to be identified.
Otherwise, when the conditions listed below are met, they may be equated with technical cookies and it will not be necessary to obtain the user’s consent. In particular, it is requested that a) they are used solely to produce aggregate statistics and in relation to a single site or a single mobile application, b) at least a quarter of the IP address is masked, c) third parties abstain from combine analytics cookies, thus minimized, with other processing or by transmitting them to further third parties.
Cookies can also be classified as:
- session cookies, which are deleted immediately when the browser is closed (for example, Internet Explorer, Safari, Google Chrome, etc.);
- persistent cookies, which – unlike session cookies – remain inside the device, continuing to operate even after the browser is closed and until a certain period of time has elapsed
- first-party cookiesi.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 party).
