WHAT COOKIES ARE

The discipline relating to the use of c.d. "cookies" and other similar tools (web beacons / web bugs, clear GIFs, etc.) in the terminals (personal computers, notebooks, tablet PCs, smartphones, etc.) used by users, has recently been changed as a result of the implementation of the new "GDPR" (General Data Protection Regulation) EU 2016/679 legislation.
This document aims to provide clarifications on the new Italian and European discipline with particular regard, through the FAQ tool. precisely, to cookies.

1. What is meant when talking about cookies?
Cookies are small text files that user-visited sites send to their terminal (usually the browser), where they are stored to be retransmitted to the same sites at the next visit of the same user. While surfing a site, the user can also receive site cookies or different web servers on his terminal ("Third Party" cookies); this is because the web site you visit may include items such as images, maps, sounds, specific links to web pages from other domains that reside on servers other than the one on which the requested page is located. In other words, those cookies are set from a website other than what you are currently visiting.
Cookies are used to perform computer authentication, session monitoring, and storage of specific information about users who access the server and are normally present in each user's browser in a very large number.
Some operations could not be done without the use of cookies, which in some cases are therefore technically necessary: ​​for example, access to home banking and activities that can be performed on your current online account (view of the extract billing, billing, billing, etc.) would be much more complex and less secure without the presence of cookies that allow you to identify and keep the user in the session.
Cookies can remain in the system for long periods and may also contain a unique identifier. This allows sites that use them to track user navigation within the site for statistical or advertising purposes to create a personalized profile of the user from the pages that the site visited and then show them advertising targeted (cd Behavioral Advertising).

2. What is now the e-privacy directive about cookies?
The directive "GDPR" UE 2016/679 and active from 25 May 2018, introduced several innovations that guarantee greater security to the user who browse within the pages of websites.
Let's list some of the most important measures:
- confirmed the principle of "opt-in" in all cases where you access or register "information" of technical cookies necessary for the proper functioning of the website;
- need for valid consent (free, informed, unambiguous and specific) in the case of "Third Party" cookies;
- need to guarantee the correct modification / updating of cookies previously given at any time;
- need to use a normal and comprehensible language to almost all users (abandoned legal language);
- inform of the time of maintenance of cookies.
In any case, the possibility of using cookies (or similar devices) freely if they are used "for the sole purpose of transmitting a communication on an electronic communications network, or to the extent strictly necessary for the supplier of a service of the information explicitly requested by the subscriber or user to provide this service ". In this case, we talk about "technical" cookies.

3. What features must have the informative to users?
As mentioned above, the storage of cookies on users' terminals must first be made known to them by means of clear information, provided with the simplified procedures referred to in art. 13, paragraph 3 of the Code. This applies irrespective of the need to obtain the consent of users or contractors (see previous point).
With the introduction of the "GDPR" regulation it is not possible to show "Third Party" cookies (Analytics, Adsense, Facebook, ..) before receiving consent from the user.
