2. Cookies used on this site

The site uses exclusively first-party technical cookies (necessary for operation) and, subject to opt-in consent, self-hosted anonymous statistic cookies. No profiling or marketing cookies are present.

3. Self-hosted analytics

The site uses an internally developed self-hosted analytics system. Features:

• No Google Analytics, no Meta Pixel, no Hotjar, no advertising tracker;
• IP address anonymized on capture (last octet zeroed);
• Data kept exclusively on servers in Italy (Netsons), no extra-EU transfer;
• Visit aggregation by page/day; no user profiling;
• Cookie leafgs_analytics_id set only after explicit consent via banner.

Without opt-in consent, the site operates normally with no statistic cookie at all.

4. Consent management

On first access to the site, a cookie banner is shown with two options:

• Necessary only — accepts only technical cookies (default if banner is closed);
• Accept analytics — also enables anonymous statistic cookies.

The choice can be revoked at any time via the "Cookie Policy" link in the footer.

5. How to disable cookies via browser

The user can configure their browser to refuse cookies. Instructions:

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

Total disabling of technical cookies may impair some site functions (forms, language preference).
