No prior authorisation by the user is required to install these cookies, without prejudice to the relevant disclosure obligation;

"2. profiling cookies", aimed at creating profiles for the user, allow the website that has installed them to monitor the user's browsing activities also in order to send advertising messages or offer services in line with the preferences expressed by the user whilst browsing the web.
