Cookie Policy

Cookies are small text files placed on your device by websites you visit. They are widely used to make websites function correctly, to improve efficiency, and to provide information to website owners.

In addition to cookies, we may also use similar technologies such as web storage (localStorage and sessionStorage), pixel tags, and device fingerprinting for the same purposes described in this policy. This policy covers all such technologies collectively referred to as "cookies".

Under EU law — specifically the ePrivacy Directive (2002/58/EC as amended by 2009/136/EC) implemented in Italy by D.lgs. 69/2012 and the Garante's guidelines — we are required to obtain your consent before placing non-essential cookies on your device.

Essential / Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are necessary for our websites and services to function. They cannot be disabled without breaking core functionality. They do not require consent under the ePrivacy Directive because they are strictly necessary for a service you have explicitly requested.

Examples include: session authentication tokens, CSRF protection tokens, load balancer routing, and user preference cookies (e.g., theme and language settings).

Analytics and Performance Cookies
These cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our websites by collecting information in aggregate form. They allow us to identify which pages are most visited, measure conversion rates, and detect performance issues. All analytics data is anonymised before storage and is not shared with third-party advertising networks.

Our own analytics sets no cookies. We measure visits with Plausible Analytics, self-hosted on our servers in Germany. It neither reads nor stores anything on your device, keeps no IP addresses and reports only aggregate figures, so it runs independently of the cookie banner; the legal basis is explained in our Privacy Policy.

Analytics cookies from any third-party tool would be loaded only after you grant consent via the cookie banner. We do not use Google Analytics.

One measurement that is not ours. We would rather state this than let you find it with your developer tools open: the delivery network in front of our websites injects its own measurement script into every HTML page it serves. It loads before any choice you make in the cookie banner and independently of it, it sets no cookies on your device, and it is not governed from here. It is not part of the analytics described above; the provider is listed as a sub-processor in our Privacy Policy.

Functional Cookies
These cookies enhance functionality and personalisation. They may be set by us or by third-party providers whose services appear on our pages. Examples: saved form inputs, chat widget preferences, and demo booking state.

Marketing and Targeting Cookies
These cookies track your activity across websites to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant advertisements elsewhere. We do not currently use marketing cookies on our primary marketing site. If this changes, we will request your explicit consent before setting them.

The following table lists the specific cookies currently in use on altovar.net and our platform subdomains:

Some features of our websites may load content from third-party providers, which may set their own cookies. We take steps to minimise third-party cookies, and where they are used, we ensure they comply with applicable EU law.

Payment processing: When you access our billing or checkout pages, Stripe (our payment processor) may set cookies to prevent fraud and ensure payment security. These are essential cookies for the payment transaction. Stripe is GDPR-compliant and processes data in accordance with Standard Contractual Clauses.

Embedded media: Where we embed video or presentation content, the embedding platform may set cookies. We use privacy-friendly embed options where available (e.g., nocookie domains).

We do not permit third-party advertising networks or social media trackers to set cookies on our websites.

Giving consent: When you first visit our website, a consent banner will ask you to accept or decline non-essential cookies. Your choice is recorded in the cookie_consent cookie and respected throughout your browsing session and future visits.

Withdrawing consent: You can change your cookie preferences at any time by clicking the "Cookie Settings" link in our website footer. Withdrawing consent will not affect the lawfulness of any processing already carried out.

Browser controls: Most browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can typically:
— View cookies stored by any website
— Delete individual or all cookies
— Block cookies from all or specific websites
— Set your browser to alert you before a cookie is stored

Note that blocking essential cookies will impair the functionality of our services. Links to cookie settings for common browsers:
Chrome · Firefox · Safari · Edge

Some browsers include a "Do Not Track" (DNT) setting. At present, there is no industry-wide standard for responding to DNT signals, and we do not alter our data collection practices in response to DNT browser settings. However, you can use the cookie consent mechanism described above to opt out of non-essential data collection.

We may update this Cookie Policy to reflect changes in the cookies we use, changes in applicable law, or changes in our data practices. We will notify you of significant changes via a banner on our website. The date at the top of this policy reflects the most recent revision.
