Cookies Policy of materiamorfosi.it
Last updated: 10 August 2026
This Cookies Policy explains how materiamorfosi.it (the “Site”) uses cookies and similar technologies, such as browser local storage.
1. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files that a website sends to your device (computer, tablet, smartphone) where they can be stored and later read by the website on your next visit. Cookies are widely used to operate websites, improve their performance and provide information to website owners.
Alongside cookies, this Site also uses your browser’s local storage to remember your cookie choice. It works in a similar way, but the information is kept in your browser only and is never sent to our servers.
2. Categories of cookies used on this Site
2.1. Technical cookies (no consent required)
These are strictly necessary for the Site to work and to be secure. They are installed automatically, because without them the Site cannot function properly. They are used for:
- routing and distributing web traffic correctly between servers;
- maintaining the basic functionality and security of the Site;
- remembering the cookie preference you expressed on the banner;
- protecting the contact form from automated spam submissions.
In particular, the Contact page uses Google reCAPTCHA to tell human visitors from automated software. This service is provided by Google and may set its own technical cookie and collect device and usage data for security purposes only. It is loaded on the Contact page only. For more information see the Google Privacy Policy.
2.2. Analytics cookies (consent required)
With your consent, the Site uses Google Analytics 4, a statistics service provided by Google, to understand in aggregate how visitors use the Site (for example which pages are the most visited, or which devices are used). This helps us improve the Site’s content and structure.
- These cookies are installed only after you click “Accept” on the cookie banner.
- If you decline, or simply close the banner, no analytics cookie is installed and no data is sent to Google.
- IP addresses are anonymised and we do not use these data to identify you personally.
The Site does not use profiling cookies, advertising cookies, or cookies that track your behaviour across other websites.
3. Cookies and similar technologies in detail
| Name | Type | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| mm_cookie_consent | Technical (local storage) | Stores the cookie choice you made on the banner | Until you change it or clear your browser data |
| mm_cookie_consent_dismissed | Technical (session storage) | Avoids showing the banner again after you close it without choosing | Until the browser is closed |
| _GRECAPTCHA | Technical – security (Google) | Anti-spam protection of the contact form | Up to 6 months |
| _ga, _ga_<ID> | Analytics (Google Analytics 4) | Distinguishes visitors and keeps session state for aggregate statistics | Up to 2 years |
Analytics data are processed by Google Ireland Ltd. as data processor. Data may be transferred outside the European Economic Area under the safeguards described in our Privacy Policy.
4. How to give, refuse or change your consent
The first time you visit the Site, a banner lets you accept or decline analytics cookies. Both options are equally available, and closing the banner without choosing is treated as a refusal.
- If you accept, your choice is remembered until you decide to change it.
- If you decline, the banner will be shown again after 30 days.
- You can review or change your choice at any time using the link, which is also available in the “Legal notice” column of the footer on every page.
5. Third-party content and links
The Site may include links to external websites (e.g. galleries, institutions, magazines such as AD, social media profiles, etc.). These third parties may use their own cookies and similar technologies over which we have no control.
You are encouraged to consult the cookie and privacy policies of any third-party websites you visit via links on this Site.
6. How to manage cookies through your browser
Most web browsers allow you to manage cookies through their settings. You can usually:
- accept or block all cookies,
- allow cookies only from certain trusted websites,
- delete cookies already stored on your device.
The procedure for managing cookies varies depending on the browser. For more information, please refer to the help section of your browser (e.g. Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge).
Please note that blocking or deleting technical cookies that are strictly necessary for the functioning of the Site may affect your ability to use some features or access certain pages. Deleting your browser data will also delete the record of your cookie choice, so the banner will be shown again on your next visit.
7. Updates to this Cookie Policy
We may modify this Cookie Policy from time to time, for example following changes in the cookies used or in applicable legislation and guidance by data protection authorities. The updated version will be published on this page with the date of the last update. If the cookies used change substantially, you will be asked for your consent again.
For any questions about cookies used on the Site, you can contact us at: info@materiamorfosi.it.
