Definitions, characteristics and scope of application of the regulations

Cookies are small text files, send and recorded by the websites visited by the user on his computer or mobile device. Cookies are then re-transmitted to the same websites at the next visit. Thanks to cookies, a website remembers the user’s actions and preferences (such as login data, the chosen language, font size, other display settings, etc.) so that they do not have to be re-indicated when the user returns to visit the website or browse from one page to another. Cookies, therefore, are used to perform computer authentication, to monitor sessions and store information regarding the activities of users accessing a website and may also contain a unique identification code that allows you to track the user’s browsing inside of the website itself for statistical or advertising purposes.

 When browsing on a website, the user can also receive on his computer cookies from websites or web servers other than the one he / she is visiting (c.d. “third party” cookies). Some operations could not be performed without the use of cookies, which in some cases are therefore technically necessary for the functioning of the site itself.

Various types of cookies exist, depending on their characteristics and functions, and these can remain on the user’s computer for different periods of time: so-called session cookies, which are automatically deleted when the browser is closed, and so-called persistent cookies, which remain on the user’s equipment until a pre-established expiry date.

According to the legislation currently in force in Italy, the user’s express consent is not always required to make the use of cookies possible. In particular, “technical cookies” (i.e. those used for the sole purpose of transmitting a communication over an electronic communications network, or to the extent strictly necessary to provide a service explicitly requested by the user) do not require such consent. In other words, these cookies are either essential for running the website or are necessary to perform actions requested by the user.

Among technical cookies, which do not require an express consent for their use, the Italian Data Protection Authority (see Determination of the simplified procedures for information and the acquisition of consent for the use of cookies May 8, 2014 and subsequent clarifications, hereinafter only “Ruling”) also includes: 

  • “cookie analytics” when used directly by the website operator to collect information, in aggregate form, on the number of users and on how they visit the website itself,
  • browsing or session cookies (needed to authenticate),
  • functionality cookies, which allow the user to browse according to certain selected criteria (for example, the language, the products selected for purchase) in order to improve the service provided.

For “profiling cookies”, vice versa, (i.e. those aimed at creating profiles related to the user and used to send advertising messages in line with the preferences expressed by the same in the context of surfing the net), a prior consent to be given by the user is required.

  • Functionality cookies, used to activate specific functions of the website and a series of selected criteria (for example, the language) in order to improve the service provided.
