Cookie policy

We use cookies to make our site easier and more intuitive. The data collected through cookies is used to make your browsing experience more pleasant and more efficient in the future. Cookies are small text files sent by the site to the data subject's terminal (usually to the browser), where they are stored (for varying periods of time depending on the need and generally ranging from a few hours to a few years, with the exception of profiling cookies whose maximum duration is 365 calendar days) and then retransmitted to the site the next time the same user visits. A cookie cannot retrieve any other data from the user's hard drive or transmit computer viruses or acquire email addresses. Each cookie is unique to the user's web browser. Some of the functions of cookies may be delegated to other technologies. In this document the term 'cookies' is intended to refer to both cookies, properly so called, and all similar technologies.

Types of Cookies

Cookies can be first-party or third-party, where "first-party" refers to cookies that report the site as the domain, and "third-party" refers to cookies that are related to external domains. Third-party cookies are necessarily installed by an external party, again defined as a "third party," which is not managed by the site. Such parties may possibly also install first-party cookies by storing their own cookies on the site's domain.

Nature of cookies

Technical cookies

Profiling cookies are aimed at creating profiles related to the user and are used in order to send advertising messages in line with the preferences expressed by the same in the context of web browsing.
For the use of profiling cookies, the consent of the interested party is required through the option provided in the overlay banner. This category includes both cookies issued by entities partnered with AIB. and known to it, and cookies issued by third parties not directly controlled or controllable by AIB. Cookies from our partners allow us to offer enhanced functionality, as well as more information and personal features. This includes the ability to share content through social networks, access video-streaming services and the CDN networks on which we host our content.

The use of data collected by these external parties via cookies is subject to their respective privacy policies, and therefore we identify these cookies by the names of the respective parties listed in the cookie management tool available in the appropriate section of this Policy.

Cookies not from AIB's partners, are cookies conveyed without the control of AIB, by third parties that have a way of intercepting you while you are browsing even outside AIB sites. These cookies, which are typically profiling cookies, are not directly controllable by AIB, which therefore cannot guarantee what use the third party owners make of the information collected.
