Types of cookies

“Technical" cookies

Certain cookies meet mere technical requirements that contribute to making a website usable by enabling basic functions such as page browsing and access to protected areas of the Website. The website may not function properly without these cookies. Sometimes cookies are also used to allow a website to remember information that affects the way the website behaves or presents itself, such as the preferred language or region where the user is located, or to understand how visitors interact with the website by collecting and transmitting information in an aggregate form that is not directly identifiable to the user (analytics).
These types of cookies are also referred to as "technical". The law states that "technical" cookies may be installed on the user's device subject to prior notice, which is provided with this document.

Profiling cookies


All other cookies, together with statistical cookies managed by third parties, are considered "profiling" cookies. This category mainly includes cookies used to monitor and analyse the activity carried out by the user on the network, in order to make improvements and provide our services in a more efficient and personalised way. The aim is to offer the visitor the display of relevant and engaging ads for the individual user. The use of these cookies requires the prior consent of the user: the first time the user consents to the installation of profiling cookies he/she is considered to have consented to the installation of the profiling cookies if the user continues to browse after the presentation of the cookie alert contained in the banner. Subsequently, the user may deny consent by checking the appropriate boxes contained in the descriptive forms in this document.

Distinctions between cookies

Cookies can be distinguished in the following categories according to the characteristic examined: the subject to which they belong, the duration of storage, the purpose of use.

distinction by subject

  • Own cookies: These are sent to the terminal of your computer from a computer or domain operated by the operator of the Website, and from which the service requested by you is provided.
  • Third party cookies: These are sent to the user's terminal by a machine or domain that is not managed by the operator of the Website, but by another person who processes the data obtained through cookies.

The cookies installed through the Website are both ours and third party cookies. In the latter case, advertisers and others may use their cookies to collect information about your activities on the Website and/or the advertisements you clicked on; we provide links to the policies and consent forms of such third parties or any intermediaries (if available) to enable users to make their own informed choices.

This information may be used by them to offer you advertisements that they think may be more interesting to you because it is enough about the content you have seen.

We do not control these cookies. To disable or reject third party cookies you must then refer to the third party websites.

Distinction by storage duration

  • Session cookies: These cookies are designed to collect and store data while the user accesses a web page. They are often used to store information only for the service requested by the user at any time and are automatically deleted at the end of the session (for example, a list of products purchased).
  • Persistent cookies: The data is stored in these cookies in the user's terminal and can be accessed and used for a period of time defined by the Amplifon Foundation, which can last from a few minutes to considerably longer periods (as specified in the reference tables in this document).
