1. What are cookies

Cookies are small text files that a website stores on your device through your browser. Some cookies (first-party) are set directly by this website; others (third-party) are set by services we embed, such as Google Analytics, HubSpot or Zoho Campaigns, and are governed by those providers' own privacy policies.

2. How we ask for your consent

When you first visit this site, a banner lets you accept all cookies, reject everything beyond what's strictly necessary, or open "Personalizza" to choose category by category. Nothing beyond strictly necessary cookies is set before you make a choice: the Google Analytics tag loads in a consent-aware mode that does not write cookies until you accept, and the HubSpot contact form and the newsletter sign-up form only load their third-party scripts once you accept marketing cookies (or click "Enable and load" directly on that form). You can change your choice at any time from the "Cookie preferences" link in the footer of every page.

3.4 Fonts

This site loads the Antonio and Roboto typefaces from Google Fonts. Google Fonts does not set cookies, but as with any external resource, your browser does contact Google's servers (and therefore shares your IP address) to download the font files. This happens regardless of consent, as it's a standard part of loading the page.

4. Managing cookies from your browser

Beyond the tools above, you can also block or delete cookies directly from your browser settings. Deleting cookies may remove your saved preferences for this site, so you may want to revisit your choices afterwards.

5. Changes to this policy

We may update this Cookie Policy over time, for example when we change the tools embedded on the site. We will post any change on this page.
