What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are downloaded to the User’s device (PC, smartphone, tablet…) when visiting a website. On each subsequent visit, cookies are sent back to the website that originated them (first-party cookies) or to another site that recognizes them (third-party cookies). Cookies allow a website to recognize a User’s device. They have various purposes such as, for example, allowing you to navigate efficiently between pages, remembering your favorite sites and, in general, improving the browsing experience. They also help to ensure that the advertising content displayed online is more targeted to the user and in line with their interests (targeting cookies or profiling cookies). Cookies can have a duration limited to a single browsing session and, in this case, they are automatically deactivated when the browser is closed; or they may have a predetermined expiration, in which case they will remain stored and active on the user’s device until such expiration, continuing to collect information during different browsing sessions on the browser. There are also other information collection technologies for similar purposes as cookies that are stored on your device (such as pixels). In this policy, the term cookies is used with reference to cookies, as described above, and with reference to any other collection technology, with the aim of providing the User with a guide to understanding what cookies and other similar technologies are, how and for what reason they are used, what rights are recognized to Users and what choices the latter can make with respect to their use.
Cookies and similar technologies – definitions
Cookies: small text files (generally consisting of letters and numbers) that the websites (so-called “first party”) visited by the User or the different websites or web servers (so-called “third parties”) place and store within the browser used by the User for navigation on any terminal device capable of storing information.
Other Technologies: Technologies that store data in your browser or device using local shared objects or local storage, e.g., flash cookies, HTML 5 cookies, and other web application software methods. These technologies work in all browsers. In some cases, the use of local storage cannot be fully managed by browsers, but requires management through specific tools
Categories of cookies
Cookies can be distinguished according to their purpose, duration and who owns the cookie.
- Cookies distinguished by purpose are those cookies that can be installed on the User’s device to:
- to ensure the functioning of the website and services, as well as to guarantee that the User can take advantage of their features, so-called technical cookies;
- to improve the performance of the website and the services offered by Stati Generali Proteine Alternative (a trademark owned by Italbiotec S.r.l., a benefit corporation), as well as to evaluate the effectiveness of a service offered through the Website, known as analytical cookies;
- allow Stati Generali Proteine Alternative (a trademark owned by Italbiotec S.r.l., a benefit corporation) or third parties to target advertising that is tailored to or in line with the User’s interests, subject to consent, known as profiling cookies.
- Cookies that are distinguished based on their duration are those cookies that can remain in the device’s browser for the duration of a session (i.e. until the browser used to browse the Site is closed or the use of a Service is interrupted) and are called session cookies. Alternatively, they can remain stored in the device’s browser for long periods and may contain a unique identification code and are called permanent cookies.
Translated with DeepL.com (free version) - Cookies can also be distinguished based on who owns them (first-party cookies and third-party cookies).
Cookies may be owned by the site and service operator and, therefore, are installed by the latter in the browser of the User’s device, known as first-party cookies. A website may contain cookies from other websites, owned by third parties, contained in various elements hosted on the website itself (e.g. advertising banners, images, videos, sounds, etc.), in which case they are known as third-party cookies.
