Cookie Policy
Policy on cookies and similar technologies used by the website viadigiovannibattista.com, pursuant to art. 122 of D.Lgs. 196/2003 (Privacy Code) and the ruling of the Italian Data Protection Authority (Garante per la protezione dei dati personali) of 10 June 2021.
1. What cookies are
Cookies are small text files that the websites you visit send to your device (computer, tablet, smartphone) in order to store information that can be read again on subsequent visits. Similar technologies — such as pixels, web beacons and identifiers saved in the browser's local storage or session storage — perform similar functions and are treated as cookies from a regulatory standpoint.
Cookies can be classified by duration (session cookies, which are deleted when the browser is closed, or persistent cookies, which remain stored for a predefined period) and by source (first-party, set by the website you are visiting, or third-party, set by different domains).
2. Which cookies this website uses
First-party technical cookies
The website does not set any cookies of its own. All the preferences needed for it to function (e.g. the "The Pilgrim's Store" cart) are kept exclusively in memory during the browsing session and are lost when the page is closed. When the Pilgrim Area with persistent login is activated, a session technical cookie will be introduced, and this policy will be updated accordingly.
| Name | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| No first-party cookies are currently set. | ||
Third-party technical cookies
Some technical services integrated into the website are provided by third parties and may set their own cookies for strictly technical purposes (loading resources, delivering content via CDN, traffic balancing). Such cookies are not used to profile users.

Profiling and marketing cookies
Not used The website does not use profiling cookies, nor advertising cookies, nor tools for statistical analysis of user behaviour (Google Analytics, Meta Pixel, etc.).
Analytics cookies
Not used No analytics cookies, whether first-party or third-party, are used. Should a traffic analysis tool be introduced in the future, the possibility of IP anonymisation and any need for prior consent will be assessed.
3. Legal basis and consent
Technical cookies, whether first-party or third-party, do not require the user's prior consent, as they are necessary for the operation of the requested service (art. 122, paragraph 1, D.Lgs. 196/2003). For these, this policy is sufficient.
Since the website uses neither profiling cookies nor analytics cookies, a banner for collecting consent is not required. This policy remains in place, always accessible from the footer of every page. The situation will be updated if tracking tools requiring consent are introduced in the future.
4. How to manage or disable cookies
You can manage your cookie preferences at any time by changing your browser settings. Below are links to the official guides for the most widely used browsers:
Disabling third-party technical cookies may impair the proper functioning of certain sections of the website, in particular the loading of typefaces, icons and the interactive map.
