2. Information about cookies
Cookies are text files that are stored on your computer when you visit a website. When you return to a website you have visited before, these cookies are sent back to that website. Italian law distinguishes the following two types of cookie (http://bit.ly/1xc6RXz):
a) "technical cookies" which are used for, among other things, authentication information, session recordings and storage of information on the website (certain operations on the website would not be possible without the use of technical cookies).
b) "profiling cookies"which permit the identification of user profiles and can be used to send personalised advertising. These cookies can also be further distinguished as "session" and "permanent" cookies. The former are automatically removed from your computer as soon as you close the browser, whereas the latter remain stored on your computer and are only removed when they reach their expiry date or are manually deleted.
Some cookies on websites come from third parties.
