Cookie Policy

Last updated: 10 July 2026

This Cookie Policy describes the types of cookies and other tracking tools (such as browser local storage) used by the website www.viniferastudioenologico.it, operated by Vinifera Studio Enologico (VAT No. IT02583560442), and how the user can manage them, in compliance with Art. 122 of Italian Legislative Decree 196/2003 and the Italian Data Protection Authority guidelines of 10 June 2021, which extend the same safeguards provided for cookies to other technologies with equivalent tracking purposes.

1. What are cookies

Cookies are small text files that visited websites send to the user's browser, where they are stored and then retransmitted on subsequent visits. They serve various purposes: enabling efficient browsing, remembering user preferences and collecting information on website usage.

2. Technical cookies (necessary)

The website uses strictly necessary technical cookies for its operation. These cookies do not require the user's consent pursuant to Art. 122(1) of Italian Legislative Decree 196/2003.

3. Analytical cookies and local storage

With the user's consent, the website uses the PostHog analytics tool (with servers located in the European Union) to collect aggregate and anonymous information on website usage, such as pages visited, session duration and device used.

PostHog stores this information both via cookies and via the browser's local storage. Under the Italian Data Protection Authority guidelines of 10 June 2021, local storage is treated the same as cookies, as a tracking tool with equivalent purposes, and is therefore subject to the same consent requirements.

PostHog's cookies and local storage entries are activated only after the user has given consent via the cookie banner. No sensitive personal data are collected and data are processed in aggregate form.

4. Profiling and marketing cookies

The website does not use profiling, marketing or retargeting cookies. No social network cookies are installed.

5. Managing cookies

The user can manage cookie preferences in several ways:

  • Cookie banner: on first visit, a banner is displayed allowing the user to accept all cookies, accept only necessary cookies, or customise their choices.
  • Cookie preferences: choices can be changed at any time via the 'Cookie preferences' button in the website footer.
  • Browser settings: cookies can be blocked or deleted through browser settings. Please note that disabling technical cookies may impair the functionality of the website.
  • Clearing local storage: withdrawing consent via the cookie preferences also removes the data PostHog stores in local storage. Alternatively, local storage data can be cleared via your browser's site data settings.
