What are Cookies and other tracking tools?
Cookies are small text files—which may include personal data (e.g., IP address, User’s name, email address) and technical information (e.g., language settings, device type)—that the websites you visit send to your terminal (Personal Computer or mobile device, such as a tablet or smartphone), where they are stored (e.g., in the browser’s memory) and then retransmitted to the same websites on your next visit. Cookies are used to perform functions such as computer authentication, session tracking, and storing information on websites (without the use of Cookies, some operations would be very complex or impossible to perform), including identifying preferences based on browsing experience. While browsing a Website, you may also receive Cookies on your PC that are controlled and sent from different websites or web servers (so-called “third parties”), which may contain certain elements (such as images, maps, sounds, specific links to pages on other domains) found on the Website you are visiting.
There are also other tracking tools (e.g., so-called “fingerprinting,” “pixel tags,” and “plug-ins”) that, while using different technologies, enable data processing that is similar to any processing performed through Cookies and achieve the same results. Unlike Cookies, these tools do not store information on your device and cannot be removed directly by you through your browser settings. Therefore, you must exercise the right to revoke your consent to their use through the features made available on the Website by the Data Controller when reviewing your choices.
