Document 249 describes technical, analytical, and profiling cookies and lists three cookies attributed to Google Analytics. The table shows only the names and durations found in that document.
The list is derived from document 249 and does not constitute a technical verification of the cookies actually installed by the new site. Before final publication, active tools, actual durations, and consent management must be confirmed.
What cookies are
Cookies are small text files containing a certain amount of information exchanged between a website and the user's device (usually the browser). They are primarily used to enable websites to function and operate more efficiently, as well as to provide information to the site owners. Based on the purposes pursued by those using them, cookies can be classified as technical cookies or profiling cookies.
Technical cookies enable website operation and browsing. Analytical cookies measure site usage; profiling cookies can build a profile of preferences for advertising purposes. Cookies may be first-party or third-party, and session-based or persistent.
Cookies may be installed by the operator of the site the user is visiting (so-called first-party cookies) or by the operator of a different site (so-called third-party cookies).
Cookies can be either session-based or persistent. Session cookies remain stored on the device for a short period and are deleted as soon as the user closes the browser. Their use is strictly limited to transmitting session identifiers (consisting of random numbers generated by the server) necessary to enable secure and efficient site navigation. Persistent cookies, on the other hand, remain stored on the user's device until a predetermined expiration date. Since they are not deleted immediately upon closing the browser, they allow the site to remember the user's choices and collect information regarding the pages visited and the frequency of visits, as well as to track user navigation patterns in order to improve the experience on the site.
Technical cookies do not require consent. Third-party analytical cookies may be treated as technical cookies only when the conditions regarding data minimization and aggregated use set by the Data Protection Authority are met; otherwise, prior consent is required.
