Introduction

My website https://www.fabiopuddu.com (“my website”) uses cookies (as most website do).
This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how I use cookies on my website, your choices regarding cookies, and further information about cookies.

What are cookies

Cookies are simple text files saved in the user’s navigation device (computer, smartphone, etc.) by the website you are visiting. In general, cookies can be used for various purposes such as making navigation easier, or creating user profiles for targeted advertising purposes.

Depending on their purpose, cookies can be categorized into two major macro-categories:

– technical cookies: basically, they make the website work and provide the service requested by the user who visits it;

– profiling cookies: in this case, the function is no longer the site’s functioning, but the creation of user profiles for marketing. For example, if one of the pages you visit most frequently in a certain period is about cars, you will receive – not by chance – advertisements about cars, precisely because the websites have tracked these preferences in the past. This fact, clearly, have implications regarding confidentiality and related legislation in its defence.  

Another possible classification of cookies is the following:

– persistent cookies: stored on your device until their expiration date, unless you delete them before they expire;

– session cookies: they last as long as you keep your browser open.

Type of cookies I use

When you use and access my website, I place several cookies files in your web browser.
My website only uses technical cookies: for them, the law allows storage in your device without prior consent.
My website uses neither user profiling cookies nor analytics cookies.

WordPress – on which my website is built – can install cookies if you intend to post a comment on one of its sites; with mine, however, this option is disabled.

I use both session and persistent cookies for these purposes:

Necessary/Essential cookies

Necessary cookies allow me to offer you the best experience when accessing and navigating through my website and using its features. For example, they help authenticate users and prevent fraudulent use of user accounts. Without these cookies, the services you have asked for cannot be provided.

Functional cookies

Functional cookies let me operate the site per the choices you make. These cookies allow me to remember choices you make when you use my website, such as remembering your language preference. These cookies provide you with a more personal experience and avoid you having to re-enter your preferences every time you use my website.
