What are Cookies?

Cookies are small text strings sent by a server to a Web client (usually a browser) and then sent back by the client to the server (without modification) each time the client accesses the same portion of the same web domain. When browsing the site, the user can also receive cookies from third parties, or from other sites or other web servers present on the site visited.

Cookies are used for different purposes: performing IT authentications, monitoring sessions, storing information on specific configurations concerning users accessing the server, etc.

In May 2011, the European Parliament issued a privacy law which obliges websites to request users' permission to use cookies relating to the services offered. The EU Cookie Law (European law on cookies) was also approved in Italy, coming into force one year later, on June 1, 2012 with legislative decrees 69/2012 and 70/2012. The Privacy Guarantor has issued resolution no. 229 of 8 May 2014, which identifies the " simplified procedures for the information and the acquisition of consent for the use of cookies " (Published in the Official Gazette n. 126 of 3 June 2014).
