Cookies and Express Consent Requirement

Under current Italian legislation, express user consent is not always required for cookie usage. While it is not necessary for so-called first-party technical or analytical cookies, consent is required for profiling cookies. Regarding third-party analytical cookies, differentiation is required, as it depends on whether:

  • tools are used to reduce the identifying power of cookies and the third party does not combine collected information with other data it already holds. In this case, user consent is not required;
  • tools are NOT used to reduce the identifying power of cookies and the third party does not combine collected information with other data it already holds. In this case, user consent is required.
