While browsing on a website, user can receive cookies from the website that they are visiting and/or cookies from other web servers. The former are usually referred to as “first-party” cookies, the latter as “third-party” cookies. Cookies may be classified with respect to the different purposes for which they are used. Technical cookies are used for the sole purpose of transmitting a communication on an electronic communications network or because they are strictly necessary to deliver a requested service to the user (such as authentication processes, monitoring sessions, information storage of the users accessing the website). This type of cookie is essential for the functioning of the website or necessary to perform activities requested by users. Analytics/statistics cookies are used to collect information, usually in an aggregate and anonymous form, on how users make use of the website, and to track traffic to and from the website, for purposes associated with the functioning of the website. Profiling cookies are aimed at identifying user preferences in order to improve and customize user’s browsing experience and/or send them marketing communications in line with the preferences expressed while browsing. The use of technical cookies does not require prior consent of the user. The Italian Data Protection Authority ("Authority”) (see "Guidelines on the use of cookies and other tracking tools – 10 June 2021”) also includes: (i) "analytics cookies"/anonymous statistics cookies, used by the website owner to collect information, in an aggregate and anonymous form, on the volume of traffic on the website or on the browsing behaviour of the user, if tools that reduce the cookie singling out capacity are adopted and the third-party supplier of the cookie does not cross-reference the information collected with other information already available; (ii) browsing or session cookies that guarantee normal browsing and use of the website (allowing users, for example, to make a purchase or log in to access restricted areas); (iii) functionality cookies, which enable users to browse according to a series of criteria aimed at improving the service provided. Profiling cookies can only be used if the user has given consent for the activation and use of it. The Authority includes in this type of cookies, requiring users’ consent, analytics cookies if tools that reduce the cookie singling out capacity are not adopted and the third party can cross-reference the information collected with other information already available in its database (see Provision by the Italian Data Protection Authority of 9th June of 2022).
