What is a cookie?
Cookies are small text files that websites utilized to memorize and gather information through the browser. They are used mainly to measure and improve the quality of the website through the analysis of visitors’ behaviour, to customize pages and to remember users’ preferences.
The “cookie law” (Directive 2009/136/EC) amended article 122 of the Data Protection Code (Legislative Decree 196/2003), which now requires visitors’ consent to memorize or gather any information on the computer or any other device connected to the internet. The previous regime, for its part, allowed data to be memorized and gathered without the visitor’s prior consent.
The Italian Data Protection Authority indicated the simplified procedures to inform and obtain a visitor’s consent on the use of cookies in the measure dated 8 May 2014 – doc. web no. 3118884 (published on Official Gazette no. 126 of 3 June 2014), to which this information refers to achieve greater transparency with final users.
In addition, this information is compliant with European Regulation 2016/679 (GDPR) and takes into account the draft ePrivacy Regulation which is undergoing approval. Leasys may change this information to abide by any new rules on cookies laid down by said Regulation and the responsibility to check it from time to time rests with the user.
