Cookie Policy

01. What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files that a website may store on a user’s device while they browse.

They can be used to ensure the website works properly, remember certain settings, maintain security or, in other cases, collect information about how web pages are used.

Some technologies perform functions similar to cookies and may be subject to the same legal requirements.

02. Website owner

This website is operated by:

03. Types of cookies

In general, cookies can be classified according to their purpose.

• Technical or strictly necessary cookies: enable the website to function, maintain security and provide services requested by the user.
• Preference cookies: remember certain settings or choices made by the user.
• Analytics cookies: collect statistical information about website usage.
• Advertising cookies: may be used to measure advertising campaigns or display personalised promotional content.

This classification is provided for information only and does not mean that this website uses every category listed.

04. Cookies and website technologies

This website is built with WordPress and uses hosting services provided by SiteGround.

Certain technical components of WordPress, the hosting service and any installed plugins may use cookies or similar technologies for purposes strictly necessary for the operation, security or technical management of the website.

The presence, duration and characteristics of individual cookies depend on the actual configuration of the services and components installed.

A detailed list of the cookies actually used must be verified through a technical review of the website.

05. Analytics and advertising tools

As of the date this policy was prepared, the website owner has not intentionally installed additional visitor analytics or advertising tracking tools, such as Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager or Meta Pixel.

Any future introduction of analytics, marketing or profiling tools will require a review and, where necessary, an update to this policy and the mechanisms used to obtain consent.

06. Links to external services

The website may contain links to external platforms, such as WhatsApp, or to other websites.

When a user selects one of these links and visits an external website, the processing of personal data and any use of cookies by the destination platform are governed by that platform’s own policies.

The mere presence of an external link does not necessarily mean that the external platform places cookies while the user is browsing this website.

07. Consent to the use of cookies

Under applicable law, cookies that are strictly necessary to provide a service requested by the user or to transmit communications may be exempt from the requirement to obtain consent.

Where required by law, the use of non-exempt cookies or technologies requires users to receive appropriate information and to be able to make a free and informed choice in advance.

Whether a cookie consent banner is needed depends on the technologies actually used on the website, not solely on the absence of advertising tools.

08. How to manage cookies

Users can control, restrict or delete cookies through their browser settings.

The steps depend on the browser being used. Help pages for the main browsers are available below:

• Google Chrome
• Mozilla Firefox
• Apple Safari
• Microsoft Edge

Disabling certain necessary cookies may affect some features of the website.

09. Personal data protection

Where information collected through cookies or similar technologies constitutes personal data, its processing is subject to applicable data protection laws, including the GDPR.

For further information about the data controller, processing purposes and individual rights, please see our Privacy Policy.

10. Updates and contact

This Cookie Policy may be amended to reflect legal changes, changes to the website configuration or the introduction of new services.

If you have any questions about the use of cookies, please contact the website owner at info@aledemartinoconsulting.com.
