What are cookies
Cookies are information saved on the hard disk of the user's terminal and which are sent by the user's browser to a Web server and which refer to the use of the network. Consequently, they allow you to know the services, the sites visited and the options that, while surfing the net, have been shown. In other words, cookies are small files, containing letters and numbers, which are downloaded to the user's computer or mobile device when you visit a website. The cookies are then sent back to the original site on each subsequent visit, or to a other website that recognizes these cookies. Cookies are useful because they allow a website to recognize the user's device.
This information is not, therefore, provided spontaneously and directly, but leaves a trace of the user's surfing the net.
Cookies perform various functions and allow you to navigate between pages in an e ffi cient way, remembering the user's preferences and, more generally, improving their experience. They can also help ensure that the advertisements shown while browsing are of interest to you and that the marketing activities carried out comply with your preferences, avoiding unwelcome promotional initiatives or not in line with the user's needs.
While browsing a site, the user can also receive cookies on his terminal that are sent from different sites or web servers (so-called "third parties"), on which some elements may reside (eg: images, maps, sounds, specific links to pages of other domains) present on the site that the same is visiting.
