COOKIES AND TRACKING TECHNOLOGIES

Definition, characteristics and types

By “cookies”, we refer to any tracking technology that stores or accesses information on your device, including SDKs, tracking pixels, HTML5 local storage and fingerprinting techniques.

While some cookies and tracking technologies are strictly necessary to browse a website (e.g. cookies that remember your preferences and settings or cookies that keep your account logged in), others need your consent to be installed (e.g. to enable you to receive information about other products and services, or to improve your browsing experience).

Cookies are generally classified:

• by purpose (technical cookies, analytical cookies, profiling cookies);
• for publishers (first-party cookies, third-party cookies); and
• by duration (session cookies, persistent cookies).

This classification is important because, depending on the type of cookie, different legal requirements apply.

For purposes

Technical cookies

Technical cookies are used for the sole purpose of carrying out the transmission of messages over an electronic communication network, or to provide a service specifically requested by the user. In other words, technical cookies are essential for the proper functioning of a site and to provide the service offered and requested by the user. For example, technical cookies can be used to track sessions, store specific server access information related to the user's configuration, to facilitate the enjoyment of online content, or to keep track of items in a shopping cart or information used to fill out a form. For the use of technical cookies, your express consent is not required.

Analytical cookies

Analytical cookies can be used to assess the effectiveness of a service provided. In other words, analytical cookies can be used to track the traffic and performance of a website by collecting aggregate data about the number of visitors and how they interact with the site to improve its services. For example, analytical cookies may collect information about how users access a website, including the number of visitors by geographic region, the number of pages visited or the number of users who viewed a particular section of the website. Analytical cookies, if properly anonymised, may be installed without your prior explicit consent as they are similar to technical cookies.

Profiling cookies

Profiling cookies can be used to link specific actions or behavioural patterns recurring in the use of offered functionalities to specific identified or identifiable subjects, in order to group different profiles within homogeneous clusters of different sizes. This allows a company to provide increasingly personalised services beyond what is strictly necessary to provide the service, and also to send targeted advertising messages, i.e. in line with the preferences expressed by the user while surfing the web. In other words, profiling cookies can be used to convey behavioural advertising, measure the effectiveness of ads or personalise the services offered in line with user behaviour. For example, profiling cookies can be used to create user profiles and offer content in line with the user's interests, or to send targeted ads or messages. Your explicit consent is required for the installation of profiling cookies.

For publishers

First-party cookies

Cookies are installed directly by the website the user is browsing. In other words, the website publisher installs the cookies directly without using third-party publishers.

Third-party cookies

So-called third-party cookies are set by external providers other than those of the website you are browsing. In other words, the website publisher installs cookies indirectly, using third-party publishers. The data collected by these third parties is governed by their specific privacy and cookie policies, over which we have no control. When our Site hosts third party non-anonymised analytical cookies and profiling cookies, you will be asked to consent to these cookies via a specific banner. Where appropriate, you can manage and delete these cookies at any time by accessing the third party's privacy policy.

By duration

Session cookies

Session cookies expire when your browsing session expires and are deleted after you close the browser.

Permanent cookies

Persistent cookies last longer than a single browsing session.
