COOKIE POLICY – viaggipolari.it (EN)

Last update: 3 February 2026

1) What cookies are

Cookies are small text files that websites send to your device, where they are stored and then sent back to the same websites on subsequent visits. Cookies can be:

  • technical/strictly necessary (required for operation);

  • preference (store choices);

  • analytics/statistics (measure traffic and usage);

  • third-party (set by domains other than this website).

2) Cookies used on this website

Depending on your settings and on which services are active, the website may use:

A) Technical / strictly necessary cookies

These are required for the website to work properly (navigation, security, essential functions).
They do not require consent.

Note: if login/restricted areas are used, WordPress may set technical session cookies (when applicable).

B) Analytics cookies (subject to consent) – Google Analytics

If enabled, Google Analytics helps us understand how users interact with the website (pages viewed, session duration, traffic sources, etc.).
These tools may process data such as online identifiers and IP address and generally require consent before activation (via a cookie banner/preferences panel).

  • You can also install Google’s official browser add-on to opt out of Google Analytics.

Typical Analytics cookies (names/duration may vary depending on version/configuration):

  • _ga (distinguish users)

  • _ga_* (session state)

  • _gid / _gat (in some configurations)

For a fully accurate “cookie-by-cookie” list, the exact setup (GA4/UA, tag manager, scripts, etc.) must be verified.

C) Google Fonts

The website may use Google Fonts to display typography. According to Google’s documentation, Google Fonts requests are designed to limit data collection and do not set cookies.
However, when fonts are loaded from Google domains (e.g., fonts.googleapis.com / fonts.gstatic.com), technical data (e.g., IP address and request parameters) may be transmitted. To further minimize third-party exposure, fonts can be hosted locally.

3) Managing consent and preferences

If a cookie banner is present, you can accept, reject or customize categories (e.g., Analytics).
You can also manage cookies via:

  • your browser settings (block/delete cookies);

  • specific opt-out tools (e.g., Google Analytics browser add-on).

4) How to disable cookies in your browser

You can manage cookies in your browser settings (Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Edge): delete cookies, block all cookies, or set exceptions per site.
