4. Responsibility for the operation of third party cookies.

4.1. In this regard, it is recalled, faithfully, what it is provided by the Provision of 8.5.2014 signed by the Data Protection Authority: " There are several reasons why it would appear impossible to require a publisher to provide information on and obtain consent for the installation of cookies on his own website also with regard to those installed by "third parties". In the first place, a publisher would be required to always be equipped with the tools and the legal and business skills to take upon himself the obligations of third parties – thus, the publisher would be required to check, from time to time, that what is declared by the third parties corresponds to the purposes they are actually aiming at via their cookies. This is a daunting task because a publisher often has no direct contacts with all the third parties installing cookies via his website, nor does he know the logic underlying the respective processing. Furthermore, it is not seldom the case that licensees step in between a publisher and the said third parties, which makes it ultimately highly difficult for the publisher to keep track of the activities of all the stakeholders. Secondly, third parties´ cookies might be modified by the third parties with time, and it would prove rather dysfunctional to require publishers to keep track also of these subsequent changes”.

Correggio (RE), date 1 March 2023

THD S.p.A.
(In its capacity as Data Controller)

1 Cookies designed to collect and store data while a user accesses a website, and disappear once the user closes the relevant browsing session

2 Cookies that are designed to last for a set period of time (e.g., minutes; months; years).

3 Analytical cookies are usually used to assess the effectiveness of an information society service provided by a publisher, for the design of a website or, finally, to help measure the relative traffic (i.e. the number of visitors, also possibly split by geographical area, time of connection).

4 See Guidelines in question, pg. 13) and 14): " Accordingly, analytics cookies will have to be structured in such a way as to enable the same cookie to relate to several devices, which will create reasonable uncertainty as to the IT identity of the cookie recipient. This is usually achieved by masking out appropriate portions of the IP address in the cookie. Taking into account the 32-bit IPv4 representation of IP addresses, which are usually represented and used as a sequence of four dot-separated decimal numbers between 0 and 255, one of the measures that can be implemented in order to benefit from the said exemption is the masking out of at least the fourth component of the address, which creates a 1/256 (approximately 0.4%) uncertainty in attributing the cookie to a specific data subject. Similar procedures should be adopted with regard to IPv6 addresses, which have a very different structure and a significantly larger addressing space since they consist of 128-bit binary numbers. Further, the Garante stresses the need for analytics cookies to be only used for the production of aggregated statistics and in relation to an individual website or mobile application, so as not to allow tracking an individual’s navigation across different applications or websites. Accordingly, third parties providing web measurement services to the publishers shall not match the data, even if minimized in the manner described above, with any other information (such as customer records or statistics concerning visits to other websites) nor will they forward such data to other third parties since this will result into unacceptably increasing user identification risks. This is without prejudice to the production of statistics based on minimized data across several domains, websites or apps that can be traced back to the same publisher or publishing group. However, statistical analyses concerning several domains, websites or apps that can be traced back to one single controller can be considered lawful even in the absence of the aforementioned minimization measures – on condition such analyses are performed by way of the controller’s own resources and do not turn into activities that go beyond statistical counting and take on ultimately the features of processing operations aimed to enable business-related decision-making”.
