This Cookie Policy explains how Heritage International Institute uses cookies, local storage and similar technologies on this website. It is drafted in line with GDPR, ePrivacy rules and the guidance of the Italian Data Protection Authority on cookies and tracking technologies.
1. What cookies and similar technologies are
Cookies are small text files stored on a user's device or browser. Similar technologies, such as local storage, pixels, scripts and technical logs, may also be used to make a website work, remember choices, deliver content securely or, where enabled, measure usage.
2. Technologies currently used
- Strictly necessary technologies: required to deliver pages, maintain security, support routing, load assets and remember the cookie preference. These do not require prior consent.
- Cookie preference storage: the website stores the user's cookie choice locally in the browser using localStorage, so the banner does not need to be shown repeatedly.
- Hosting, CDN and security logs: the hosting and content delivery infrastructure may process technical connection data such as IP address, browser information, request time and requested resources for delivery, security and diagnostics.
- External technical assets: the website may load fonts, scripts, images, map tiles or other technical resources from external providers where necessary for the visual or functional operation of the site.
3. Optional analytics and marketing cookies
Analytics, marketing or profiling cookies are not intentionally enabled unless they are configured with appropriate safeguards and, where required, activated only after consent. If optional analytics or marketing tools are introduced in the future, this policy and the cookie banner should be updated accordingly.
4. Interactive maps and third-party resources
Some pages may include interactive maps, embedded resources, links to social media platforms, partner websites, publication platforms or other third-party services. When such resources are loaded or opened, the third-party provider may receive technical information and may apply its own cookie and privacy policies. Users should consult the policies of the relevant provider for more information.
5. Managing consent
The cookie banner lets users accept or reject optional cookies where applicable. The current preference is stored locally in the browser. Users can change or delete their preference at any time by clearing browser site data or using the reset button below.
6. Browser controls
Users can block, delete or manage cookies through browser settings. Blocking strictly necessary technologies may affect website functionality, page loading, security or preference storage.
7. Contact
For questions about cookies or similar technologies, contact Heritage International Institute via PEC at heritageinternational@pec.it.
