What are cookies?

A cookie is a small text file that a website saves on your computer or mobile device while you visit it.
The information encoded in cookies may include personal data, such as an IP address, a username, a unique identifier or an email address, but may also contain non-personal data, such as language settings or information about the type of device that a person is using to navigate the site.
Cookies can perform important and different functions, including monitoring sessions, storing information on specific configurations regarding users who access the server, facilitating the use of online content, etc.
The same result can also be achieved through the use of other tools (e.g. fingerprinting, i.e. the technique that allows the device used by the user to be identified through the collection of all or some of the information relating to the specific configuration of the device itself adopted by the interested party) which allow processing similar to those indicated above.

Cookie classification

Cookies and other tracking tools can have different characteristics from a temporal, subjective or functional point of view:
· Persistent cookies are saved on the user’s computer and are not automatically deleted when the browser is closed, unlike session cookies, which are deleted when the browser is closed. Session cookies are made up of random numbers generated by the server to allow safe and efficient exploration of the site;
· First-party cookies are cookies created by the site the user is visiting: only that site can read them. A website can also use external services that create their own cookies, called third-party cookies.
· Technical cookies are required by some IT systems and are necessary for the correct functioning of some web pages. Consent is not required for these cookies;
· Preference or personalization cookies are cookies that allow the user to remember information so that they can access the service with certain characteristics that can differentiate their experience from that of other users, such as, for example, the language, the number of results to show;
· Statistical cookies are used to facilitate navigation on the site, improve its usability and find out the contents of greatest interest to users. The data is collected in aggregate form;
· Marketing cookies are used to trace specific actions or recurring behavioral patterns to specific, identified or identifiable subjects in the use of the features offered (patterns) for the purpose of grouping the different profiles within homogeneous clusters of
different breadth, so that it is possible to modulate the provision of the service in an increasingly personalized way beyond what is strictly necessary for the provision of the service, as well as send targeted advertising messages, i.e. in line with the preferences expressed by the user in the context of web browsing.
Cookies other than technical ones can only be installed with the user’s prior consent.

Types of cookies used by the Xchangesacchetti site

In line with the provisions of the law, technical and preference cookies do not require the user’s consent and are used for the sole purpose of browsing or providing a service requested by the user. They are not used for additional purposes and are normally installed directly by the owner or manager of the website.
Without the use of these cookies, some operations could not be carried out or would be more complex and/or less secure.

The site uses Google Tag Manager (GTM), a tool that facilitates the management of tracking codes and tags. While GTM itself does not collect personal data or set cookies, it enables the operation of other tags that may set cookies or track data. These tags include but are not limited to analytics, marketing, or personalization tools. For this reason, GTM is categorized as a technical tool, but the tags it manages may require the user’s consent based on their functionality.
