Cookie Policy

What cookies are

Cookies are small text files that a site stores in your browser to read them again on later visits. Similar technologies, such as the browser's local storage (localStorage), work in a comparable way and are treated the same way in this policy.

Necessary technical tools

They are required for the site to work and need no consent (Art. 122 of the Italian Privacy Code). All of them are first-party:

• fm_cookie_consent_v1 (local storage) — stores your cookie choices and the date of the choice. It remains until you change it or clear your browser data.
• fm-lang (local storage) — remembers your chosen language (Italian, English or Chinese). It remains until you clear your browser data.
• pg_admin (session cookie, HttpOnly) — set only after an administrator signs in to the private area /admin, to keep the session. It expires after 14 days or on logout. Site visitors never receive it.

Analytics cookies (only with consent)

Google Analytics 4, a service of Google Ireland Limited, collects aggregate information on how the site is used (pages visited, visit duration, device). It uses the _ga and _ga_* cookies, lasting up to 2 years. Data are retained for 2 months, with no sharing with other Google services. Any transfers to the United States take place under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework.

The Google Analytics script is loaded only after your consent: until you accept, no request is sent to Google.

Profiling and third-party content

The site uses no profiling or advertising cookies and embeds no third-party content (videos, maps, social buttons or widgets) that could set its own cookies. Fonts are served from the site's own server. The LinkedIn link leads to an external site, subject to its own cookie policy.

How to manage your choices

On your first visit a banner lets you accept everything, reject non-essential cookies or customise your choice; no box is pre-ticked. You can change your mind at any time with the button below or with "Cookie preferences" at the bottom of every page. If you withdraw consent, Google Analytics is no longer used; _ga cookies already stored can be deleted from your browser settings.

Browser settings

You can also block or delete cookies and local storage from your browser settings (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge). Blocking the technical tools may prevent the site from remembering your language and preferences.
