Typically, cookies may be installed:

  • Directly by the website owner and/or manager (so-called first-party cookies);
  • By managing parties unrelated to the website visited by the user (so-called third-party cookies), via elements on the consulted site that may be traced back to different sites or different web servers (e.g., images, specific links to pages on other domains, etc.).

Maggioli qualifies as Data Controller only in relation to the first of these categories.
