Cookies allow web pages, among other things, to store and recover information about a user’s browsing habits or their computer system and, depending on the information they contain and the way their computer utilizes them, they can be employed to identify the user.
What types of cookies exist?
Cookies can be grouped according to three criteria: their domain, lifespan and purpose.
Cookies according to their domain:
- First-party cookies: those which are sent to the user’s terminal equipment from a device or domain that is managed by the website’s own publisher and from that which the service requested by the user is provided.
- Third-party cookies: those which are sent to the user’s terminal equipment from a device or domain that is not managed by website’s publisher, but by another company that processes the data obtained through cookies.
Cookies according to their lifespan:
- Session cookies: a type of cookie designed to collect and store data while the user accesses a website.
- Persistent cookies: a type of cookie which continues to store information in the terminal equipment and allows for the data to be accessed and processed during a period of time, defined by the company responsible for the cookie and ranging from a few minutes to several years.
Cookies according to their purpose:
- Analytic cookies: cookies which, whether they be processed by us or by third parties, permit us to quantify the number of users and therefore statistically measure and analyze the use that users make of the offered service. In order to do so, their browsing history on our web page is analyzed with the aim of improving the variety of products and services we offer them.

What kind of cookies does this web page use?
Preferences
These cookies allow our websites to record information that changes the appearance or behavior of the site, such as your preferred language or the region where you are located. For example, by remembering your region, a website can provide you with news about local traffic or weather conditions. These cookies also allow you to change the size of the text, the font and
other parts of websites that you can customize. Losing information stored in a preference cookie may make a user’s experience on the website less functional, but should not affect its operation.
Most Google users have a preference cookie on their browsers referred to as “PREF”. A web browser sends this cookie by request to Google sites. The PREF cookie can store your preferences and other information, specifically your preferred language (for example, English), as well as the number of search results you want to be displayed per page (for example, 10 or 20), and whether you want to activate the Google SafeSearch filter.
Security
We use security cookies to authenticate users, avoid the fraudulent use of log-in credentials, and protect users’ information from non-authorized third parties.
For example, we use cookies referred to as “SID” and “HSID” which contain digitally encrypted and signed records with a user’s most recent log-in time and their Google account ID. The combination of these two cookies allows us to block many types of attacks, such as attempts to steal content from the forms you fill in on web pages.
