Under applicable legislation, the user’s explicit consent to the use of cookies is not always required.

Among the cookies that do not require explicit consent for their use, the Italian Data Protection Authority mentions the following:

• a) technical cookies, i.e., those used exclusively for the transmission of a communication over an electronic communications network or strictly necessary to provide a service explicitly requested by the user. These are therefore cookies that are indispensable for the operation of the website or necessary to perform activities requested by the user;
• b) analytical cookies, where tools are used to reduce identification through the cookies and third-party cookies do not cross-reference the information collected with other information already held; these cookies are used to collect information in aggregate form on the number of users and their visit to the website;
• c) navigation or session cookies (for authentication purposes), the deactivation of which restricts the use of services available via login;
• d) functional cookies, which allow the user to navigate according to a series of selected criteria (e.g., language, products selected for purchase) in order to improve the service provided to the user.

Among the cookies whose use requires explicit consent, the Italian Data Protection Authority includes:

• (a) analytical cookies, if no means are used to reduce identification through the cookies and third-party cookies cross-reference the collected information with other information already held;
• profiling cookies, i.e., cookies aimed at identifying user preferences and improving the navigation experience for the user.

Third-party cookies

Third-party cookies are also used on this website, i.e., cookies created by a website other than the one the user is currently visiting (see cookie table).

It should be noted that the aforementioned third parties, listed below with the corresponding links to their privacy policies, generally act as autonomous data controllers for the data collected through cookies provided by them; in this case, the user grants or refuses consent directly to the owner of the cookie in question, to which the website merely refers. The management of information collected by “third parties” is governed by their privacy policies, which can be accessed by clicking the link in the “Cookie List” table under the relevant heading.

Social Plugins and Social Media Walls

These services are used to collect content from the social channels used by the Data Controller (e.g., YouTube, Twitter, Instagram, LinkedIn, etc.). These are parts of the visited page generated directly by the aforementioned social channels and integrated into the website’s own page. The use of such tools aims to share the content of the visited website on one’s own social network profile. These services set “third-party cookies”. The management of information collected by “third parties” is governed by their privacy policies, which can be accessed by clicking the link in the “Cookie List” table under the relevant heading.
