Last updated: 19 August 2026
This Cookie Policy explains how www.ermannocantoni.com (the "Site") uses cookies and similar technologies. It supplements the Privacy Policy and is provided in accordance with Article 5(3) of Directive 2002/58/EC ("ePrivacy Directive"), Regulation (EU) 2016/679 ("GDPR"), Article 122 of the Italian Privacy Code, and the Guidelines on cookies and other tracking tools issued by the Italian Data Protection Authority on 10 June 2021 (Decision no. 231/2021).

2. What cookies are
Cookies are small text files placed on your device by the websites you visit. They allow a site to recognise your device, remember your preferences, and understand how the site is being used.
Similar technologies — such as local storage, pixels and software development kits — perform comparable functions. Where this Policy refers to "cookies", it covers all of these.
Cookies can be classified in two ways:
By who sets them
-
First-party cookies — set by the Site itself.
-
Third-party cookies — set by a domain other than the one you are visiting.
By how long they last
-
Session cookies — deleted when you close your browser.
-
Persistent cookies — remain on your device until they expire or you delete them.
3. Categories of cookies used
3.1 Strictly necessary (technical) cookies
These are required for the Site to function, to route traffic correctly, to protect against fraud and cross-site request forgery, and to remember your cookie choices. They do not require your consent under Article 122 of the Italian Privacy Code, and they cannot be disabled through the consent banner.
The Site is hosted on the Wix.com Ltd. platform, which sets the following technical cookies:

3.2 Functional cookies
These remember choices you make — such as language — to improve your experience. They are set only where the relevant feature is active on the Site.
CookieProviderDurationPurpose

3.3 Analytics cookies
These help me understand how visitors use the Site — which pages are viewed, how long visitors stay, where traffic comes from. These cookies are installed only after you give consent through the banner.
Where Google Analytics is active, the following may be set:
CookieProviderDurationPurpose
_gaGoogle2 yearsDistinguishes unique users
_ga_*Google2 yearsMaintains session state
_gidGoogle24 hoursDistinguishes unique users
_gatGoogle1 minuteLimits the rate of requests
Wix also provides built-in traffic statistics. Where these are collected in aggregated form and cannot be traced back to an identified individual, they are treated as technical measurement tools.
3.4 Profiling and advertising cookies
The Site does not use profiling, advertising or retargeting cookies. No behavioural advertising profile is built from your visit, and no data is shared with advertising networks.
4. Third-party content
Pages on the Site contain links to external platforms including LinkedIn, Amazon, Instagram and X. Following those links takes you to sites governed by their own cookie and privacy policies, over which I have no control.
Where third-party content (such as an embedded video or social widget) is displayed directly within a page, that provider may set its own cookies. Please refer to the provider's own policy for details.
5. Managing your preferences
Through the Site
You can accept or refuse non-essential cookies through the banner shown on your first visit. Refusing is as straightforward as accepting. You may change your choice at any time by clearing the consent-policy cookie from your browser, which will cause the banner to be displayed again.
Through your browser
All major browsers let you block or delete cookies. Note that blocking strictly necessary cookies may prevent parts of the Site from working correctly.

Google LLC is established in the United States; transfers are covered by the EU–US Data Privacy Framework and, where applicable, by Standard Contractual Clauses adopted under Article 46(2)(c) GDPR.
7. Your rights
In relation to any personal data processed through cookies, you may exercise the rights set out in Articles 15 to 22 GDPR — access, rectification, erasure, restriction, portability and objection — and you may withdraw your consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of processing carried out beforehand.
