This Cookie Policy describes the types of cookies and similar technologies used by the website borgoitaliani.it (hereinafter "the Site"), in compliance with the Guidelines of the Italian Data Protection Authority (Garante per la protezione dei dati personali) of 10 June 2021.

What are cookies

Cookies are small text files that websites send to the user's browser, where they are stored and retransmitted to the same websites on subsequent visits. They can be used for different purposes: authentication, session monitoring, and storing preferences.

The Site is a static portal that does not require registration, does not manage user accounts, and does not carry out e-commerce activities.

Technical cookies (strictly necessary)

These cookies are essential for the proper functioning of the Site and do not require user consent pursuant to art. 122, paragraph 1, of the Italian Privacy Code. The Site is distributed through the Cloudflare CDN network, which may set technical cookies to ensure security and performance.

The Site also uses the browser's sessionStorage to manage the internal search functionality. sessionStorage is not a cookie: data is automatically deleted when the tab is closed and is not transmitted to the server.

Third-party cookies

Individual borgo pages include an interactive map built with the open source Leaflet library, which loads map tiles from CARTO (Voyager basemap) and OpenStreetMap servers. Loading occurs only when the user scrolls down to the map section (lazy loading).

These services may set their own technical cookies when loading map tiles. These are functional cookies used for distributing cartographic images and are not used for profiling purposes.
