I. WHAT ARE COOKIES
Cookies are small texts installed on the terminals used by users to browse the internet: more precisely, the websites visited send cookies to the browsers, which memorize them and then retransmit them to the same websites at the next visit by the same user. .
While browsing the internet, users can also receive cookies from different sites or web servers on their terminals (so-called "third-party" cookies): this happens due to the possible existence, on websites, of elements such as images, maps, sounds, specific links to web pages of other domains (referable to servers other than the one on which the requested page is located).
Cookies are generally used, based on their specific type, for storing user data, such as, by way of example: the preferences entered, computer authentication, session monitoring, etc. They generally make the browsing experience more intuitive and pleasant - for example by memorizing the preferences entered and avoiding re-entering the same information (such as username / password) several times during the same visit - even covering, in some contexts, a function essential: indeed, numerous operations (see, by way of example, access to the portals of credit institutions for "home banking" operations) would be technically extremely more difficult and risky without cookies, which allow the user to be identified and keep the

They are similar to technical cookies when used directly by the site manager to collect information, in aggregate form, on the number of users and how they visit the site.
- Profiling cookies, on the other hand, are aimed at creating profiles relating to the user, and are used in order to send advertising messages in line with the preferences expressed by the user while surfing the net.
