Specific summary information will be shown or displayed continually on web pages dedicated to particular on-demand services. COOKIES Like virtually all websites, ours too uses cookies. Cookies are small text files that the sites visited by the user (but also other sites or webservers) send and record on your computer (or mobile device), to then be retransmitted to those same sites (or webservers) upon the user’s next visit, thus sending such information. Cookies are nowadays essential tools as they permit modern sites to run smoothly, allowing maximum customisation, interaction and fluidity in navigation. But they can also be used to monitor user navigation and then send advertising messages based on such navigation. Cookies can be: Session-based (if they expire upon closing of the browser) or permanent (if they remain until the expiry of a time limit, which could be years) First-party or third-party (in this second case they are set by a website or a webserver other than the one that the user is visiting at that moment) Technical (necessary, even indispensable, for a full – or improved – use of the site) or profiling (aimed at creating a user profile in order to then send advertising messages to him/her in line with the preferences expressed by the individual during prior navigation) The Data Protection Authority considers session-based, operational and – only under certain conditions – analytical cookies to be technical cookies. In particular the Authority, in its decision of May 8th, 2014, pointed out that the latter may be treated as technical cookies only if used for the purposes of site optimisation directly by the owner of the site itself, who may collect aggregate information on the number of users and how they visit the site.

Normally these programs also allow, through a specific option, to block third-party cookies.
