Understanding Cookies on Our Website
At amat.taranto.it, we strive to provide you with the best possible experience when browsing our website. To enhance your experience, improve functionality, and provide relevant content, we use cookies. In this section, we’ll explain what cookies are, how they work, and how they impact your browsing experience.
What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. These files contain information that helps the website recognize your device during future visits, making it easier to navigate the site and access certain features. Cookies are used by most websites and are an integral part of the modern internet experience.
The primary purpose of cookies is to enable the website to remember your preferences and settings, saving you the trouble of re-entering information each time you visit. Additionally, cookies help websites analyze traffic patterns, improve functionality, and ensure you are provided with content relevant to your interests.
How Do Cookies Work?
When you visit a website, a cookie file is automatically downloaded to your device’s browser. Each time you visit the same site in the future, your browser will send the cookie back to the website, allowing it to recognize you. This process allows the website to load faster and tailor its content based on your past interactions.
Cookies can be categorized into two types:
- Session Cookies: These are temporary cookies that are only active during your browsing session. Once you close your browser, session cookies are deleted. They are mainly used to keep track of your activity as you move from page to page on the website. For example, session cookies can store items in a shopping cart or remember your progress in an online form.
- Persistent Cookies: Unlike session cookies, persistent cookies remain on your device even after you close your browser. They have an expiration date and will stay on your device until they expire or are manually deleted. Persistent cookies are used to remember your login details, language preferences, and other settings, so you don’t have to reconfigure them every time you visit.
Why Do We Use Cookies?
We use cookies to improve your experience on our website. Specifically, our use of cookies serves the following purposes:

- Enhancing Usability: By remembering your preferences, cookies ensure that you don’t have to re-enter information every time you visit the site. For example, if you adjust the website’s language settings, cookies will remember this, so you don’t need to choose the language again in future visits.
- Personalizing Content: Cookies allow us to deliver content that’s tailored to your interests. Based on your previous interactions with our site, we can display products or services that are most relevant to you. This ensures that your experience is more personalized and engaging.
- Tracking Analytics: We use cookies to collect data about how visitors interact with our site. This data is anonymized and helps us understand overall user behavior. By analyzing this information, we can make informed decisions on how to improve our website and content.
- Advertising and Marketing: Cookies play a significant role in online advertising. They enable us to show you relevant advertisements based on your browsing habits. For instance, if you’ve shown interest in a particular product on our website, cookies allow us to display ads for similar products that may be of interest to you.
