A cookie is a textfile sent and installed by a website visited by the user on the user's device, where it is stored and sent back to the original website during a subsequent visit. Cookies can be distinguished according to:
• the subject installing them on the user's device: this subject can be the visited website administrator (“direct cookies”) or the administrator of a different website, whose cookies (“third party cookies”) are installed through the first website;
• the time span of their presence on the user's device: cookies deleted at the end of the session are called “non-persistent”, while cookies that are not deleted are called “persistent”;
• their purpose: “technical cookies” allow the visited website to store login data or preferences expressed by the user during navigation, or allow e-commerce operations or authentication in order to log into reserved pages; “profiling cookies” allow the visited website to monitor users navigation, also in order to send commercial ads or offer services to the user aligned with his preferences; only profiling cookies need the user's agreement before they can be installed on the user's device.
