DURATION AND TYPE OF COOKIES

Some cookies are automatically deleted at the end of the browsing session, while others remain stored in the terminal, normally hosted in the browser used (e.g. Google Chrome, Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, etc.). Lasting cookies are therefore of two types:

Temporary cookies (or
) are removed from your computer when you close your browser They are used to store temporary information, such as the items in your shopping cart. Almost all cookies on the websites you view are session cookies whose activity ends when you close your Internet browser.

Persistent cookies:
Persistent cookies are cookies that are stored on a user’s computer or other device during a browsing session, but remain on the user’s computer or other device after the browsing session ends. Persistent cookies serve various purposes in the interests of users (they are used to store information, such as your login name and password, so that you do not have to retype them each time you visit the same site). They may remain stored in the device for a variable, but nevertheless determined, amount of time, depending on the function they are performing.

These two types of cookies (session and persistent) can in turn be ‘proprietary’ and ‘third-party’. When we talk about proprietary cookies, we mean cookies set by the owner of the websites. When we talk about third-party cookies, we mean cookies transmitted by third parties, i.e. set by a website other than the one you are currently visiting. These fall under the direct and exclusive responsibility of the third party operator.

However, permanently disabling all cookies may result in browsing difficulties or, at times, the inability to use certain features of the Site. For example, you will no longer be able to: use e-commerce shops to make your purchases, enter the Customer Area and manage the products you have purchased, use web-based software, etc.
