How are cookies distinguished?
They are particularly distinguished into

- the normal and correct use of the site, possibly also to support its security (session cookies)
- the collection of aggregated information on the number of users or how they use the website (analytics cookies)
- to manage navigation based on user activity (e.g., the chosen language, products selected for purchase) to improve service usability (functionality cookies)
Profiling cookies: these are cookies designed to track individual user preferences with the aim of allowing the definition of a commercial offer or a service in line with the choices made by the user during their navigation. Profiling cookies can be used with the consent of the interested party.
They are also distinguished into
- First-party cookies: these are cookies installed directly by the Owner or manager of the site being visited. They are cookies used, for example, to ensure technical operation or to keep track of preferences expressed regarding the use of the site.
- Third-party cookies: these are cookies installed by third parties through the Owner’s or manager’s site, which in this case acts as a technical intermediary. These cookies are used when the visited site presents content from external sources (e.g., advertising banners, videos, etc.). Third-party cookies require the consent of the interested party.
What cookies does CIM 4.0 use?

- first-party analytics cookies to collect information on the use and exploration of the website by the user, including pages visited and content viewed, and any errors encountered, always in an anonymous form. These cookies provide statistics on how the website is used and the frequency of visits.
