What are cookies and what are they used for?
A cookie is a small text file that a website visited by a user sends to their terminal (computer, mobile device such as a smartphone or tablet), where it is stored before being re-sent to that site during a subsequent visit. Cookies can be distinguished from each other:
- based on the entity that installs them on the user's terminal, depending on whether it is the same operator of the site that the user is visiting (so-called "first-party cookies") or a different site, which installs the cookies via the first site (so-called "third-party cookies");
- based on the purpose of each cookie: some cookies allow the website that installed them to remember, for example, the preferences expressed by the user during navigation or to make a purchase or to perform authentication to access reserved areas (so-called "technical cookies");
- Other cookies allow the site that installed them to monitor the user's browsing, including for the purpose of sending advertising and/or offering services in line with the preferences expressed by the user while browsing the internet (so-called "profiling cookies"). Only profiling cookies require the user's prior consent for their use.
