What are cookies?
A cookie is a small text file containing a certain amount of information that is exchanged between a website and your device (usually your browser). It is typically used by the website operator to store information needed to enhance your browsing experience on the site, to send advertising messages that align with your online preferences, and to measure your interest in communications from the Data Controller through the use of pixels and web beacons. When you revisit the same site or any other site, your device checks for a recognized cookie so it can read the information it contains. Different cookies contain different information and are used for different purposes, such as making browsing more efficient on a site’s pages, profiling to send targeted promotional messages, analyzing the number of site visits, and cross-analyzing browsing behavior across different devices.
While browsing, users may also receive cookies on their devices from different sites or web servers (known as third parties). These cookies can contain elements (such as images, maps, sounds, or specific links to pages on other domains) that are present on the site the user is visiting.
More generally, some cookies (called session cookies) are assigned to the user's device only for the duration of the site visit and automatically expire when the browser is closed. Other cookies (called persistent cookies) remain on the device even after the browser is closed.
However, it's important to note that the Site Owner needs to use technical cookies to provide its online services on a regular basis. Therefore, if the use of these cookies is disabled, Luiss will be unable to provide all or some of its services, or to provide them in the requested manner, for purely technical reasons.
The specific purposes of the different types of cookies installed on this site are described below.
