Cookie Policy

Last updated: 23 October 2026

This page explains which cookies and similar tools the website www.alessandrorinaldi.com uses, what they are for and how you can choose which ones to accept. Please read it together with the Privacy Policy, which describes how we process personal data in general.

1. Data controller

Alessandro Rinaldi, Via Monsignor Marinozzi 20, 62010 Pollenza (MC), Italy. Email: rinaldiale324@gmail.com.

2. What cookies are

Cookies are small text files that the website stores in your browser to remember information while you browse or between visits. Similar tools (such as the browser’s local storage) work in the same way, and on this page we call them all “cookies”.

Some cookies are technical: they are needed for the website to work and do not require your consent. All others are used only if you accept them.

3. Technical cookies (always active)

They are needed for the website to work and to keep it secure. They are not used to profile you and, by law, do not require consent.

Name	Provider	Purpose	Duration
pcrt_cc	This website	Remembers your cookie choices (accepted categories, date, version of this policy and a random code). It contains no personal data.	6 months
pll_language	This website	Remembers the language you chose (Italian or English).	1 year
preloadSeen	This website	Avoids repeating the website’s opening animation.	1 day
_GRECAPTCHA (and _grecaptcha in local storage)	Google (reCAPTCHA)	Protects the contact form from spam and automated submissions.	6 months

Google reCAPTCHA analyses some browsing information (such as IP address and interactions with the page) to tell people from automated programs. It is used for security purposes only. Google’s privacy policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy

4. Statistics cookies (only with your consent)

We use Google Analytics 4, a service of Google Ireland Limited, to know in aggregate form how many people visit the website and which pages they read. These cookies are set only if you accept the “Statistics” category: before you choose, Google Analytics is not even loaded.

Name	Provider	Purpose	Duration
_ga	Google (Analytics 4)	Distinguishes visitors anonymously to count visits.	2 years
_ga_SXRRWDTRWK	Google (Analytics 4)	Keeps the state of the browsing session.	2 years

Google Analytics 4 does not log IP addresses. Advertising features and data sharing with Google for other purposes are turned off. Data may be transferred to the United States: Google participates in the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework. Google’s privacy policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy

5. Third-party services without cookies

To display the website’s typefaces we use Google Fonts (Google Ireland Limited). Google Fonts does not set cookies, but your browser connects to Google’s servers to download the fonts, which therefore receive your IP address. Google’s privacy policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy

6. External content

At present the website does not embed content from other websites (videos, maps, social media posts). The link to the Instagram profile is a plain link: Instagram receives data only if you open it, under its own privacy policy.

Should we add such content in the future, it will be blocked until you consent to the “External content” category and it will be listed on this page.

7. How to choose and change your mind

On your first visit a banner asks you to choose:

• “Accept all” enables all categories;
• “Necessary only” keeps only technical cookies;
• “Preferences” lets you choose category by category.

Closing the banner or continuing to browse does not count as consent. You can change your mind at any time from the “Cookie preferences” link at the bottom of every page. If you withdraw consent to statistics, the Google Analytics cookies are deleted.

Your choice is valid for 6 months. After that period, or if this policy changes substantially, the banner is shown again.

You can also block or delete cookies in your browser settings:

• Chrome: https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/95647
• Firefox: https://support.mozilla.org/kb/enhanced-tracking-protection-firefox-desktop
• Safari: https://support.apple.com/guide/safari/sfri11471/mac
• Edge: https://support.microsoft.com/microsoft-edge

If you block technical cookies, some features of the website, such as the contact form, may not work.

8. Consent log

To be able to prove the consent received, as required by law, we record on the server the choice made, the date and time, the version of this policy, the language and the page, linked to the random code of the pcrt_cc cookie. We do not record the IP address or any other data that identifies you. This information is kept for 24 months.

9. Your rights

For your rights (access, rectification, erasure, objection, complaint to the supervisory authority) please read the Privacy Policy or write to rinaldiale324@gmail.com.

10. Changes

This policy may be updated, for example if the services used by the website change. The date of the last update is shown at the top.
