2. Cookies and other tracking tools: definition and classification.
2.1. Cookies (1) are, as a rule, strings of text that a website (“publisher” or “first-party”) you visited or another website (“third-party”) places and stores on a terminal device you are using, either directly (in the case of the first-party website) or indirectly (through the latter, in the case of a third-party website). In this regard, the Data Protection Supervisor has specified the fact that the information, encoded in cookies, can include both personal data referred to in Art. 4, No. 1) of the GDPR (e.g., IP address, user name, e-mail address, unique identifiers) as well as non-personal data referred to in Art. 3, No. 1) of EU Regulation No. 1807/2018 (e.g., language; type of device used).
Alongside (or beyond) them, “other tracking tools” may exist (and, therefore, be used), which can be divided into “active” (which possess almost the same characteristics as cookies) and “passive” (e.g., finger printing).
2.2. Beyond their described intrinsic characteristics, cookies (and other tracking tools) can record different peculiarities in terms of time (and, therefore, be considered “session” or (2) “persistent” (3) , depending on their duration), from the subjective standpoint (depending on whether the publisher is acting independently or on behalf of a “third party”) as well as, finally (but especially), according to the purpose of processing, so they can be divided into two different (macro) categories:
- “Strictly necessary”, used for the sole purpose of transmission of a communication over an electronic communications network, or as strictly necessary to the service provider of a company of the information explicitly requested by the contracting party or you to provide the service” (Art. 122, 1 of the Privacy Code).
In this regard, the Data Protection Supervisor pointed out, in Measure No. 231 of 10.06.2021 (in continuation of the previous Measure of 2014 on the subject), that “analytical cookies” (4) may well be included within the hive of cookies (or other tracking tools) of a “strictly necessary” nature (and, therefore, may be used without the prior consent of the data subject), if certain conditions are met, and which preclude that the possibility of direct identification of the data subject (singled out) is achieved through their use (5). -
“profiling”/“marketing” (not strictly necessary), used to trace back to specific, identified or identifiable subjects specific actions or repeated behavioural patterns in the use of the offered features in order to group the different profiles within homogeneous clusters of different breadths, so that it is possible for the Controller, among other things, to also modulate the provision of the service in an increasingly personalised manner beyond what is strictly necessary for the provision of the service, as well as to send targeted advertising messages (i.e., in line with the preferences expressed by you while browsing the web).

5.2. In addition to the rights described in Art. 5.1. above, the Joint Controllers specify that, in relation to the personal data of the data subject, there exists, where possible, the right to exercise, on the one hand, the (sub)right provided for in Art. 19 of the GDPR (“The controller shall communicate any rectification or erasure of personal data or restriction of processing carried out in accordance with Article 16, Article 17[1] and Article 18 to each recipient to whom the personal data have been disclosed, unless this proves impossible or involves disproportionate effort. The controller shall inform the data subject about those recipients if the data subject requests it.”), to be considered connected and related to the exercise of one or more rights regulated in Articles 16, 17 and 18 of the GDPR; on the other hand, the Joint Controllers specify that, in relation to the personal data of the data subject, there exists, where possible, the right to exercise the right provided by Art. 22(1) of the GDPR (“The data subject shall have the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling, which produces legal effects concerning him or her or similarly significantly affects him or her”), subject to the exceptions provided for in paragraph 2 below.
5.3.

5.4. In compliance with Art. 12 paragraph 3 of the GDPR, the Joint Controllers undertake to provide the data subject with information regarding the action taken regarding any request made under Art. 15 to 22 of the GDPR without undue delay and, in any case, no later than one month after receipt of the request; this period may be extended by 2 months if necessary, taking into account the complexity and number of requests (in such case, the Controller undertakes to inform the user of such extension and the reasons for the delay, within one month of receipt of the request).
