Cookies
Last updated: 11 September 2026
Short version: no profiling cookies, no analytics. The only thing that asks for your consent is the Google map on the contact page.
1. What they are
Small files saved on your device. The same rules cover equivalent technologies: localStorage, sessionStorage, pixels and similar identifiers.
2. Our approach
This site sets no profiling cookies and runs no analytics. No Google Analytics, no equivalent platform. Even the fonts are hosted on our own server, so reading these pages fires no request to anyone else.
One element needs consent: the Google Maps embed on the contact page. Loading it gives Google your IP address and lets it set its own cookies. That is why you see a placeholder instead, and the map only arrives if you ask for it. Without consent you still get the address, the phone number and a link to open Maps yourself.
3. What gets stored
Technical — no consent needed
| Name | Type | What it does | Lifetime |
|---|---|---|---|
vdc-cart-v1 | localStorage | Keeps your basket as you move between pages | Until you clear it |
vdc-consent-v1 | localStorage | Remembers your map choice so we stop asking | Until you clear it |
| Hosting technical cookies | Session cookies | Security and load balancing | Session — [CHECK with the hosting provider] |
Language uses no cookie: the preference is read from your browser's Accept-Language header and reflected in the page address (/it/, /en/). Under the Italian DPA's cookie guidelines of 11 June 2021, none of the above requires consent.
Third parties — consent required
| Service | Controller | What it does | Lifetime |
|---|---|---|---|
| Google Maps | Google Ireland Ltd. | Location map on the contact page | NID, CONSENT and others — 6 months to 2 years |

4. Links that lead away
The buttons to WhatsApp, Google, Tripadvisor, Instagram and Facebook are plain links: they set no cookies until you tap them. Once open, those services' own policies apply.
5. Changing your mind
You can give or withdraw consent whenever you like, right here:

You can also block or clear cookies from your browser settings: Chrome · Safari · Firefox · Edge
Careful: clearing this site's data also clears your basket, which lives only in your browser.
