Cookie Policy
Last updated: 1 January 2026
This Cookie Policy explains how we use cookies and similar technologies on this website. It applies in addition to our Privacy Policy.
1) Who is the controller
Meaning Studio (Enrico Vannucci) is the data controller for processing related to cookies on this website. Contact details are available in the footer of this site.
2) What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device by a website. They can be “session” (deleted when you close the browser) or “persistent” (kept for a defined period). Similar technologies include local storage, pixel tags and SDKs.
3) Legal basis
- Strictly necessary cookies are used on the basis of our legitimate interest in providing a secure, functioning site you request.
- Non‑essential cookies (e.g., functional third‑party embeds) are used only with your consent, which you can withdraw at any time.
4) Your choices (consent)
On your first visit we show a banner allowing you to Accept all, Reject non‑essential, or Manage preferences. Consent is freely given, specific, informed and unambiguous. You can revisit your choices anytime via Cookie settings or the link in the footer.
5) What we use on this site
- We do not use advertising or profiling cookies.
- We do not use audience analytics cookies.
- We use strictly necessary cookies to remember your cookie preferences and to keep basic features working.
- We provide third‑party embeds that may set functional cookies only when you open or interact with them (see “Third‑party cookies”).
6) Cookie categories we use
A. Strictly necessary (always active)
Used to make the site work and remember your cookie choices (e.g., a consent‑state cookie). These do not store personal information for marketing and cannot be switched off.
Examples (names may vary): cookie_consent, consent_preferences, security/session cookies to protect forms and modals.
B. Functional (by your action)
Enable features you choose to use (e.g., opening the embedded Google Calendar booking widget or Google Forms contact form). These are set only after you click to open the embed.
7) Third‑party cookies (Google embeds)
When you open the Calendar booking window or the Contact form, Google may set cookies on domains such as google.com, calendar.google.com, or docs.google.com to deliver those services securely, remember preferences, and combat abuse. Manage these on your device and in your Google account.
8) International transfers
Third‑party providers (e.g., Google) may process data in or transfer data to countries outside the EEA using appropriate safeguards (such as Standard Contractual Clauses). See the provider’s policies for details.
9) How to change or withdraw consent
Use Cookie settings to update your choices at any time; withdrawal does not affect lawfulness before withdrawal. You can also clear cookies via your browser settings.
10) Managing cookies in your browser
Most browsers let you block or delete cookies. Refer to your browser’s help pages (e.g., Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge) to learn how to control cookies, block third‑party cookies, or set site‑specific permissions.
11) Your GDPR rights
You may have the right to request access, rectification, erasure, restriction, objection (including to processing based on legitimate interest), data portability, and to withdraw consent at any time. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with your local authority; in Italy this is the Garante per la protezione dei dati personali.
12) Retention
- Consent cookie: up to 6–12 months, then we will ask again.
- Session cookies: removed when you close your browser.
- Third‑party functional cookies: per the provider’s policy.
13) Updates to this policy
We may update this policy to reflect changes to cookies or legal requirements. Significant changes will be presented in the banner and on this page, with a new “Last updated” date.
