Cookie Policy

1. What cookies are

Cookies are small text files that websites send to the user's device (computer, tablet, smartphone), where they are stored so that they can be transmitted back to the same sites on the next visit. Alongside cookies there are similar local storage technologies — such as the browser's localStorage — which allow information to be saved on the user's device for comparable purposes.

Cookies fall into the following categories:

• Technical cookies: necessary for the operation of the site or to provide functions requested by the user (e.g. remembering a preference). They do not require the user's consent.
• Analytics cookies: used to collect statistics on how the site is used.
• Profiling cookies: intended to create user profiles for advertising purposes. They require the user's prior consent.

2. Cookies and technologies used by this site

The website clinicachirurgiaplastica.it is a static, informational website and adopts a data-minimisation approach: it does not use profiling cookies, advertising cookies or third-party statistical analysis tools (e.g. Google Analytics).

The only storage technology used is:

• Local storage of the choice made on the cookie banner (localStorage, key cookie_accepted): when the user interacts with the information banner, the choice is saved in the browser's localStorage so that the banner is not shown again on every visit. This is a technical form of storage, which contains no identifying data and is not transmitted to third parties. It remains on the device until the user clears their browsing data.

3. Third-party services

The typefaces used by this site are hosted directly on the site's own servers (self-hosted): displaying them involves no request to third-party servers and no transfer of data (including the IP address) to external parties.

The pages of the site also contain links to external platforms (Facebook, Instagram, Google Maps): these are simple links which do not install third-party cookies while browsing this site. By clicking on such links, the user leaves the site and becomes subject to the policies of the respective platforms.

4. How to manage cookies from your browser

The user can at any time manage or delete cookies and local storage data through their browser settings. Disabling technical cookies may impair some functions of the site. Below are the references for the main browsers:

• Google Chrome
• Mozilla Firefox
• Apple Safari
• Microsoft Edge
