On 3 June 2014, the Italian Data Protection Authority published in the Official Gazette the provision for the identification of simplified procedures for the information and acquisition of consent for the use of cookies, also identifying the responsibilities of “publishers” and “third parties” with reference to these obligations (provision no. 229 of 8 May 2014).
What are cookies?
A “cookie” is a text file that websites send to the visitor’s computer to uniquely identify the visitor’s browser or to save information or settings in the browser. When you return to the site, this information can be retrieved. While browsing a site, the user may also receive cookies on his terminal from sites other than the one he is visiting (“third parties”); This can happen because the website you are visiting may also include items such as, statistics, chats, images, maps, etc. that reside on servers other than the one you are visiting.
Types of cookies
- Technical cookies: they are of 2 types;
- Persistent: once the browser is closed, they are not destroyed but remain until a preset expiration date;
- of Session: they are destroyed every time the browser is closed, they are used for the sole purpose of keeping track of the user’s session while browsing, allowing, for example, to make a purchase or to authenticate to access restricted areas.
- Analytical cookies: They have statistical purposes and are assimilated to technical cookies, they collect information, in aggregate form, on accesses and number of users and how they use the site.
- Functional cookies: these are those that store, in order to improve the service, some user preferences such as language, products selected for purchase, etc.
- Profiling Cookies: the purpose is to create profiles relating to the user and then show advertising messages in line with the preferences expressed by the user while browsing the web.
The Authority distinguishes the aforementioned obligations based on the type of cookies used:
- Technical cookies to which navigation cookies, analytics cookies and functionality cookies are also equated, for which no consent is required, without prejudice to the obligation to inform about their use;
- Profiling cookies. For this type of cookie, the user’s consent is required for the purposes of their installation, in addition to the information. With regard to profiling cookies, the “publishers” must make available to users, when they access the Home Page or other page of the site, a brief information on the use of profiling cookies containing a link that allows access to more detailed information, including, if present, also information relating to third-party cookies. It must be clear from the text of the communication that the continuation of navigation constitutes consent to the use of cookies.
