1. What cookies are
Cookies are small text files that websites save on the user's device while browsing. They are used to make the site work properly, to remember the user's preferences and, in some cases, to collect statistical or profiling information.
In addition to cookies, this site also uses the browser's localStorage, a technology similar to cookies that allows data to be saved locally in the user's browser. Unlike cookies, data in localStorage is not transmitted to the server with every request.

3. Categories of cookies and technologies used
Essential for the operation of the site. They do not require consent.
| Name | Type | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| vimage_cookie_consent | localStorage | Saves the user's cookie preferences | Permanent* |
| cf_clearance | Cookie | Cloudflare Turnstile security | 30 minutes |
| __cf_bm | Cookie | Cloudflare bot protection | 30 minutes |
* Data in localStorage persists until manually deleted by the user or until the browser data is cleared.
At present we do not use third-party functional cookies. Should any be introduced in the future, they will be activated only with your consent through the "Functional" category of the preferences panel.
The light/dark theme preference is saved in your browser only when you explicitly choose a theme using the dedicated button. Without a choice on your part, the site follows your operating system's preference and saves nothing.
| Name | Type | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| vm-theme | localStorage | Light/dark theme preference (only on explicit choice) | Permanent* |
The site's AI assistant requires a dedicated consent because messages are processed by an external artificial intelligence service in order to generate responses. No data is used to train AI models.
Conversation data is kept in the browser's memory during browsing and is lost when the page is closed or refreshed. No persistent cookies or storage are used for the chat. Conversations are saved in anonymised form on our servers for statistical analysis purposes.
For more details on data processing, please see the Privacy Policy.
We collect anonymous browsing statistics (pages visited, device, visit duration) to improve the site and measure the effectiveness of our content. We use a statistics system hosted on our own servers in Italy (self-hosted).
This tool does not install cookies, does not collect IP addresses, does not create user profiles and does not share data with third parties. The data is completely anonymous and aggregated, and cannot be traced back to individuals.
Collection is enabled by default, even when "Necessary only" is selected, as it complies with the Guidelines of the Italian Data Protection Authority (10 June 2021) for analytics equivalent to technical cookies (aggregated data, no cross-site tracking, no sharing with third parties). You can disable it at any time from the panel by selecting "Customise" and disabling "Anonymous statistics". Your browser can also send the "Do Not Track" (DNT) signal to disable it automatically.
This site uses Google Tag Manager (GTM) with Consent Mode v2 in Advanced mode.
GTM loads on every page but does not install cookies and does not collect personal data until the user accepts analytics cookies. In the absence of consent, GTM operates in cookieless mode, sending only anonymous and aggregated signals (without identifying the user) useful for the statistical modelling of conversions.
When you accept analytics cookies, Google Analytics 4 (GA4) is activated and installs the following cookies:
| Cookie name | Type | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| _ga | Third-party cookie | Distinguishes users for aggregated statistics | 2 years |
| _ga_* | Third-party cookie | Maintains the GA4 session state | 2 years |
Used to display relevant advertisements and measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns.
No marketing cookies are currently active.
4. Third-party cookies
The site integrates the following third-party services that may install their own cookies:
5. Consent management
You can manage your preferences at any time through the cookie panel accessible from the site footer ("Manage cookies" link). Consent is valid for 12 months, after which it will be requested again.
You can also manage cookies directly from your browser settings:
To delete data from localStorage, you can use your browser's developer tools ("Application" / "Local Storage" section) or clear all site data from your browser settings.
6. Changes to the Cookie Policy
This Cookie Policy may be updated at any time. In the event of substantial changes, the banner will be shown again to collect a new consent. The date of the last update is indicated at the top of this page.
