5.c) Cookies

In fact, at every subsequent visit, cookies are re-sent to the site by the User’s device. Each cookie generally contains: the name of the server from which the cookie was sent, the expiration date and a value, usually a unique number randomly generated by the computer. The server of the website that transfers the cookie uses this number in order to recognize the User when he returns to visit a site or when he browses from one page to another. The cookies can be installed not only by the website’s owner when the User visits the website (first-party cookies), but also by a different site that installs cookies through the first site (third-party cookies) and is able to recognize them. This happens because a visited site may contain elements (images, maps, sounds, links to web pages that belong to other domains, etc) hosted on other servers than the server of the visited site.

Generally, cookies can be classified into different typologies based on the following criteria:

Duration:
– session cookies (temporary) which are automatically deleted when the browser is closed;
– persistent cookies which are active until their expiration date or until they are canceled by the user.

– first-party cookies which are sent to the browser directly from the site that is being visited;

If these cookies are blocked, the experience is less functional but not fully compromised;
– statistical/analytic first-party or third-party cookies with IP masking, without data crossing (similar to technical cookie, purpose wise), are used to collect information and generate statistics of website usage in order to understand how visitors interaction works;
– non-technical cookie  third-party statistical/analytic cookies without IP masking, with data crossing, are used to collect information, generate usage statistics, with possible identification and tracking of the website User, in order to understand how visitors interact;
– profiling /publicity / advertising / tracking / conversion cookies for advertising selection, based on what is relevant for a specific User (personalized ads).
