WHAT ARE COOKIES?
Cookies are small text files that the sites visited by the user send and record on the user's computer or mobile device, to then be re-transmitted to the same sites on the next visit. Precisely thanks to cookies, the site remembers the user's actions and settings (such as, for example, login data, the chosen language, font size, other display settings, etc.) so that they do not have to be indicated again when the user returns to visit the same site or navigates from one page to another of it. Cookies, therefore, are used to perform computer authentication, session monitoring and storage of information regarding the activities of users who access a site and can also contain a unique identification code that allows you to keep track of user navigation within the site itself for statistical or advertising purposes. While browsing a site, the user can also receive cookies from sites or web servers other than the one he is visiting on his computer or mobile device (so-called “third-party” cookies). Some operations could not be performed without the use of cookies, which in some cases are therefore technically necessary for the site to function itself.
There are various types of cookies, depending on their characteristics and functions and these can remain on the user's computer or mobile device for different periods of time: the so-called session cookies, which are automatically deleted when the browser is closed; the so-called persistent cookies, which remain on the user's device up to a pre-established deadline.
