The Data Protection Authority has implemented a European directive equiring webpage administrators to show visitors a banner informing them what the cookie policy of the site they are consulting is, and to make its acceptance conditional on continued browsing.

COOKIE LAW

1) What are cookies?

Cookies are text files that visited sites send to the user’s browser, which are stored and then transmitted back to the site on the next visit.

2) What are cookies used for?

Cookies are used for different purposes: performing computer authentication, session monitoring, storing information on specific configurations concerning users accessing the server, storing preferences, etc.

3) What are technical cookies?

These are cookies that serve to carry out navigation or to provide a service requested by the user. They are not used for any further purposes and are normally installed directly by the website owner. Technical cookies are essential for example to access Google or Facebook without having to log in to all sessions. They are also essential for very sensitive operations such as home banking or payment by credit card or other systems.

4) Are Analytics cookies technical cookies?

No. The Garante specified that these cookies can only be considered technical if “used for site optimisation purposes directly by the site owner, who may collect information in aggregate form on the number of users and how they visit the site. Under these conditions, the same rules on information and consent apply to analytics cookies as to technical cookies.”

5) What are profiling cookies?

These are cookies used to track the user’s surfing on the web and create profiles of their tastes, habits, choices, etc. With these cookies, advertising messages in line with the preferences already expressed by the user when surfing online can be transmitted to the user’s terminal.

6) Is user consent necessary for the installation of cookies on the user’s terminal?

Consent is not required for the installation of technical cookies, whereas profiling cookies may only be installed in the user’s terminal if the user has given his or her consent after being informed in a simplified manner.

7) How does the site owner have to provide simplified information and request consent for the use of profiling cookies?

The Privacy Guarantor has ruled that when the user accesses a website, a banner must appear containing a short information notice, a request for cookie consent and a link to the more extensive information notice. On this page, the user can find more detailed information on what profiling cookies are and how they are used on the website in question.

8) How should the banner be made?

The banner must be large enough to cover part of the page content and specify that the site uses cookies. The banner must only be eliminated by an active action on the part of the user.

9) What information should the banner contain?

The banner must contain the short information notice, the link to the extended information notice and the button to give consent to the use of profiling cookies.

10) How can the acquisition of consent through the use of the banner be documented?

To keep track of the consent obtained, the site owner may use a special technical cookie that takes account of the user’s consent so that the user does not have to express consent again on a subsequent visit to the site.

11) Can consent to the use of cookies only be obtained with a banner?

No. The owner of the site may give the information to users in the manner he or she considers most appropriate as long as they meet the same requirements. The use of the banner is not necessary for sites that use only technical cookies.

12) What must the more extensive information page indicate?

The characteristics of cookies also installed by third parties must be explained. The user must also be shown how to navigate the site without having his or her preferences tracked, with the possibility of incognito navigation and the deletion of individual cookies.

13) Does the use of cookies have to be notified to the Guarantor?

Il titolare del sito ha l’obbligo di informazione. If he only uses third-party profiling cookies on his site, he does not need to inform the Garante but is obliged to indicate what these are third-party cookies and to indicate the links to the relevant information.

14) When will this legislation come into force?

The Guarantor has given one year to comply and the deadline is 2 June 2015.

COOKIES USED BY THE SITE

The site currently uses only technical cookies for the purpose of communicating information.

GOOGLE ANALYTICS COOKIES USED BY THE SITE

This site uses the free Google Analytics service. Cookies are therefore only used to obtain data on the most visited pages, number of visitors, aggregation of visits by operating system, browser, etc. Google Analytics IPs have been anonymised. Therefore, if users’ IPs are kept anonymous and if only used for optimisation purposes, analytics cookies are considered technical. This information is stored in the Google server which regulates privacy according to these guidelines.
