Cookies are small text files that the user's visited websites send and store on their computer or mobile device, to be transmitted back to the same websites upon subsequent visits. Thanks to cookies, a website remembers the user's actions and preferences (such as login data, language preference, font size, etc.) so that these parameters do not have to be set again on each new visit. Therefore, cookies are used for computer authentication, session monitoring, and storing information about the activities of users accessing a site. They can also contain a unique identification code that allows tracking of the user's navigation within the site for statistical or advertising purposes.
Some operations or functionalities of the Portal may not be possible or guaranteed without the use of cookies, which in certain cases are therefore technically necessary for the proper functioning of the website.
Depending on their characteristics and functions, cookies can be stored on the user's computer for different periods of time: there are session cookies, which are automatically deleted when the browser is closed, and persistent cookies, which remain on the user's device until a predetermined expiration date or until manually deleted.
According to applicable regulations, the use of cookies does not always require explicit user consent. In particular, "technical cookies," which are used solely to ensure the proper functioning of the website or to provide a service explicitly requested by the user, usually do not require such consent.
On the other hand, in order to use cookies that are not strictly necessary for the proper functioning of the Portal but serve the purpose of collecting statistical data or creating profiles related to the visitor in order to send targeted advertising messages based on the preferences expressed by the user during internet browsing, prior user consent is usually required, in accordance with applicable regulations.
Below are the main types of cookies:
