COOKIES
Cookie are small text files that the websites visited send to the user’s terminal (usually the browser), where they are stored and subsequently retransmitted to the same websites the next time they are visited by the same user. The provision issued by the data protection authority covers not only cookies, but also other similar tools (web beacons/web bugs, clear GIFS, etc.) that make it possible to identify the user or the terminal.
While browsing a website, users’ terminals may also receive cookies sent from other websites or web servers (third-party cookies), on which there may be a number of elements (such as images, maps, sounds, specific links to pages in other domains) present on the website the user is visiting.

In order to properly regulate these devices, it is necessary to distinguish them, because there are no technical characteristics that differentiate one kind from another based on the purposes they are used for.
Lawmakers have taken action in this regard, and in implementation of the measures contained in Directive 2009/136/CE, has rendered it mandatory to obtain users’ prior, informed consent for the installation of cookies used for purposes other than merely technical purposes (cf. art. 1, para.5, lett.
a), of Legislative Decree no. 69 of 28 May 2012, which amended art. 122 of the Code).
