(COOKIES)

Cookie policy

What cookies and similar tools this site uses, what they are for, and how to control them. It supplements the privacy notice and follows the Italian Garante’s guidelines of 10 June 2021. The Italian version of this page is the authoritative one.

What they are

Cookies are small files a site stores in your browser; similar tools (localStorage, identifiers) do the same job differently. Some are needed for the site to work or to be secure and require no consent. Others measure or advertise, and without your consent they are not switched on at all.

Necessary — always on

These need no consent, because without them the site does not work or is not safe.

  • Your own cookie choice, stored in the browser (localStorage, key «vivento-consent»), for 6 months. Its whole purpose is to avoid asking you again on every page.
  • Security cookies from our network provider Cloudflare: «__cf_bm», around 30 minutes, tells people apart from bots; «cf_clearance», set only if you are shown an anti-bot check.
  • A session cookie for the site’s admin area: it concerns whoever runs the site, not visitors.

Traffic statistics

We use our hosting provider’s aggregate statistics, Cloudflare Web Analytics. They set no cookies, give no identifier to an individual visitor, and tell us only how many times a page was opened. That is why they need no consent.

Third-party statistics and marketing — only with your consent

The site is built so that the owner can switch on certain third-party tools: Google Analytics 4 and Google Tag Manager (Google Ireland Ltd.), Meta Pixel (Meta Platforms Ireland Ltd.), Yandex Metrica (Yandex LLC).

When none of them is on, no cookie banner appears, because there is nothing to consent to. When one is on, it is not loaded until you have accepted it: if you decline, or close the banner, its script never runs and no such cookie is ever set. Each of these tools has its own privacy notice, on its provider’s website.

Changing your mind

You can change your choice at any time from the «Cookie settings» link at the bottom of every page. Withdrawing consent is as easy as giving it: scripts already loaded are stopped and their cookies removed.

You can also block or delete cookies in your browser settings. Blocking the necessary ones may stop parts of the site from working.

How long consent lasts

Your choice — accept or decline — stands for 6 months. After that the banner appears again. It also appears sooner if what we are asking consent for changes, for example when a new tool is switched on. A refusal is not put back in front of you on every visit.
