What is a cookie and what is it for?

A cookie is a small file that is sent to the browser and saved on the user’s device (PC, Tablet etc.) when you access and use the website http://eocoe.eu (hereinafter also referred to as “Website”).

Cookies allow an efficient operation of the Website and improve its performance, including through the collection and analysis of aggregate information, which allow the Website operator to understand how to improve the Website’s structure and sections. Using cookies it is also possible to collect information for statistical purposes, mainly to personalise the user’s browsing experience, remembering their preferences (e.g. language, currency etc.).

Cookies are classified according to their duration and the website that set them, so different cookies are used depending on the individual purposes.

What cookies do we use?

Technical cookies

Technical cookies can be divided into browsing or session cookies, which guarantee normal browsing and use of the Website (e.g. coordinating the modules that make up the pages of the Website or correlating the pages visited to the same working session), and analytical cookies, similar to technical cookies only if used for optimising the Website directly by the website operator (so-called first-party analytical cookies), who may collect aggregate information on the number of users and how they visit the Website (e.g. to compile statistics on the most-visited pages, to collect aggregate data on visits by operating system, browser etc.).

Session cookies

Use of session cookies is strictly limited to the transmission of session identifiers (consisting of server-generated random numbers) and software usage data necessary to allow secure, efficient navigation of the website: session variables (so-called cookies) can avoid the use of computer techniques that are potentially detrimental to the confidentiality of user navigation and do not allow the acquisition of identifying personal data. Session cookies are not stored permanently on the user’s device (PC, Tablet etc.), but rather are recorded locally for periods of time established according to the session variables (whose values stored on the device’s hard disk can still be deleted; you can also disable cookies by following the instructions provided by the main browsers).  Session cookies remain stored on the device for a short period of time and are then deleted when the web browser is closed.

Persistent cookies

Persistent cookies save a file in the memory of your device (PC, Tablet etc.) for a long period of time. This type of cookie has an expiration date. Persistent cookies allow websites to remember information and settings at subsequent visits by users, thus making browsing more convenient and faster. When the cookie expires, it is automatically deleted the next time you log on to the website that created it.

 

Third-party cookies

Third-party cookies are set by a website other than the one you are visiting and reside on servers other than the one you are visiting. Therefore, the use of data collected by these external operators through cookies is subject to their respective privacy policies.
