Cookie Policy<\/h1>\n\n

Last updated: August 2026<\/p>\n\n

1. What is a cookie<\/h2>\n\n

\n A cookie is a small text file that a website stores in the user’s browser when they visit it. It allows the site to remember information about the visit, such as the selected language or the contents of the shopping cart, so that the site works properly and the next visit is faster. Other cookies are used to understand how the site is used or to measure the effectiveness of advertising. \n <\/p>\n\n

\n Alongside cookies, there are local storage technologies and tracking pixels that serve an equivalent function. Whenever this page refers to cookies, these technologies are included as well. \n <\/p>\n\n

2. How consent is managed<\/h2>\n\n

\n The first time you access the website, a notice is displayed that allows you to accept, reject, or configure cookies by category.\n <\/p>\n\n

\n Until the user makes a choice, only strictly necessary cookies are installed.<\/strong> Analytics and marketing cookies remain blocked and are not activated if the user rejects them. Rejecting them does not limit access to any content on the site. \n <\/p>\n\n

\n Consent is stored for a maximum of 12 months, after which it is requested again.\n <\/p>\n\n

\n Pages that include videos hosted on YouTube may install Google cookies when played. These cookies are Google’s responsibility and are governed by its own policy. \n <\/p>\n\n

\n This site also loads fonts from Google Fonts. It does not install cookies, but it does mean the visitor’s IP address is shared with Google in order to serve the font file. \n <\/p>\n\n

4. International transfers<\/h2>\n\n

\n Meta and Google are part of corporate groups headquartered in the United States. Data transfers arising from the use of their services are based on the European Commission’s adequacy decision regarding the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework or, failing that, on the standard contractual clauses under Article 46.2 of the GDPR. \n <\/p>\n\n

5. How to change or withdraw consent<\/h2>\n\n

\n Users can change their choice at any time using the following link: \nCookie Preferences.<\/a>\n <\/p>\n\n

\n Users can also allow, block, or delete installed cookies from their browser settings. Blocking necessary cookies will make some features unavailable, such as the shopping cart or the ability to retain the selected language. \n <\/p>\n\n
