2) What cookies are

Cookies are small text files that a visited website stores in the user's browser (computer, tablet or smartphone) and reads again on subsequent visits. They may be installed directly by the website (first-party cookies) or by third-party services present on the pages (third-party cookies).

Technical cookies are necessary for the website to function and do not require the user's consent. Statistical cookies and non-technical third-party cookies are installed only after the user's consent.

3) Cookies used by this website

The website does not use its own profiling or advertising cookies. It uses the following cookies:

NameProviderTypePurposeDuration
_iub_cs-*iubendaTechnicalStores the user's cookie consent choices6 months
Google Maps cookiesGoogleThird-party, subject to consentOperation of the embedded map; managed directly by GoogleSet out in the Google Cookie Policy

4) Google Maps

The website embeds a Google Maps map in the Contact section, to show the Residence's location, a service provided by Google Ireland Limited / Google LLC. The map is loaded only after the user gives consent: until then, no connection is made to Google Maps' servers. Once the map is loaded, Google receives the IP address, browser type and page visited, and may install its own cookies. For this data, Google acts as an independent data controller.

5) Google Fonts

The website uses Google Fonts to display typefaces, loaded from Google's servers through the website's code. On each visit, the browser connects to Google's servers (fonts.googleapis.com and fonts.gstatic.com) to download the necessary fonts: during this connection, the IP address, browser type and address of the page visited are transmitted to Google. Google Fonts does not install cookies.

6) Consent management

Consent is managed through the iubenda platform. On first access, a banner allows the user to accept or reject non-technical cookies and to choose individual purposes. Until consent is given, only technical cookies are installed. The choice is recorded and the banner is not shown again, unless the cookies used by the website change.

Preferences can be changed or withdrawn at any time through iubenda's consent management button (key-shaped icon), always visible in the bottom right corner of every page of the website.

7) How to disable cookies from the browser

In addition to the iubenda panel, the user can delete or block cookies from their browser settings: Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge. Blocking technical cookies may prevent parts of the website from working correctly.

8) Transfers outside the EU

The use of Google Fonts and Google Maps involves the transfer of data to the United States. Such transfers take place in compliance with Articles 44 et seq. of the GDPR, based on Google LLC's adherence to the EU-US Data Privacy Framework and on the Standard Contractual Clauses adopted by the European Commission.

9) Data subject rights

The user may exercise the rights provided by Articles 15-22 of the GDPR and withdraw consent at any time. Details and contact information are provided in the Privacy Policy. It is always possible to lodge a complaint with the Italian Data Protection Authority (Garante per la protezione dei dati personali).

10) Changes to this Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy is updated whenever the cookies or services used by the website change. The updated version is published on this page, indicating the date of the last update.
