Cookie policy

1. What are cookies

Cookies are small text files that visited websites send to the user's device (computer, tablet, smartphone), where they are stored and sent back to the same websites on later visits. This website uses only technical cookies, which are necessary for it to work and for which the user's consent is not required (Article 122 of the Italian Personal Data Protection Code and the Italian Data Protection Authority's Guidelines of 10 June 2021). The website does not use profiling cookies or analytics tools.

2. Technical cookies used

Technical cookies are essential for the website to work correctly and for secure browsing.

• il-giardino-dei-pini-session — Session cookie: lets the website manage browsing and form submissions, such as the contact form. It contains an encrypted session identifier. Duration: expires after 2 hours of inactivity.
• XSRF-TOKEN — Security cookie: protects the website's forms against CSRF (Cross-Site Request Forgery) attacks. Duration: expires after 2 hours of inactivity.

3. Browser local storage (localStorage)

When the user closes the seasonal notice shown at the top of the pages, the website stores in the browser, through localStorage, the key season-bar-<date> (for example season-bar-2027-06-01) with the value "closed", so that the same notice is not shown again. This is a technical tool: it contains no personal data, is not sent to the website and can be deleted at any time from the browser settings.

4. Third-party content: Google Maps

The Contact page contains a Google Maps map that is loaded only after the user clicks "Click to load map": before that click, no Google content is loaded. After the click, Google (Google Ireland Limited) may set its own cookies and process data such as the IP address under its own terms: see Google's Privacy Policy and the page on how Google uses cookies.

5. How to manage or delete cookies

As the website uses only technical cookies, there is no consent banner. You can still view and delete the cookies and data stored by the website through your browser settings. Below are the instructions for the main browsers:

• Google Chrome
• Mozilla Firefox
• Apple Safari
• Microsoft Edge

Please note: blocking technical cookies may prevent some features of the website from working correctly, such as sending the contact form.
