COOKIE POLICY.
Last updated: 14 April 2026
This Cookie Policy explains the use of cookies and any other tracking technologies by the website digitalhumanist.me.
1. WHAT ARE COOKIES
Cookies are small text files that websites may store on a user’s device while browsing. Some cookies are strictly necessary for the operation of the website. Others are used for additional purposes, such as performance measurement, personalisation, or marketing, and may require the user’s prior consent.
2. APPLICABLE LEGAL FRAMEWORK
The website manages cookies and any other online identifiers in accordance with applicable European and national legislation. Technical or strictly necessary cookies may be used without the user’s prior consent. Profiling, marketing, or other non-essential tracking tools may only be activated following the user’s free, specific, informed, and unambiguous consent, where such tools are actually implemented on the website.
3. TYPES OF COOKIES USED BY THE WEBSITE
At present, the website uses exclusively, or predominantly, technical and functional cookies necessary for the proper delivery of the web platform and, where a privacy preference management system is in place, technical cookies required to store the user’s choices.
- Technical navigation and session cookies
Purpose: enable correct page loading, website security, session management, and the provision of essential platform functions.
Legal basis: legitimate interests of the Data Controller and technical necessity of the service.
Consent required: No - Technical cookies related to the WordPress platform and site components

Legal basis: legitimate interests of the Data Controller and technical necessity of the service.

4. ANALYTICS, PROFILING, OR MARKETING COOKIES
As of the date of this Policy, the website does not use profiling or marketing cookies without the user’s prior consent. Should non-exempt analytics tools, marketing pixels, advertising services, embedded multimedia content, or other non-essential tracking technologies be introduced in the future, such tools will be blocked until user consent is obtained, and this Cookie Policy will be updated prior to their activation.
5. REQUESTS TO THIRD-PARTY TECHNICAL PROVIDERS
For operational, security, or display purposes, the website may rely on technical resources provided by third parties. In such cases, the user’s browser may transmit technical data to those providers, such as IP address, user agent, or request parameters necessary to deliver the requested resource. Where relevant, such processing is also described in the website’s Privacy Policy. The Data Controller prioritises, where possible, technical solutions that minimise the transfer of data to third parties.
6. COOKIE BANNER AND CONSENT MANAGEMENT
Where the website uses only technical cookies, prior consent via a banner is not required for such cookies. If non-essential cookies or other tracking tools are introduced, the website will implement a compliant consent management system allowing users to:
- accept all optional tools;
- reject all optional tools;
- select preferences in a granular manner, where applicable;
- modify their choices at any time.
7. MANAGING OR DISABLING COOKIES VIA THE BROWSER
Users may manage, restrict, or delete cookies directly through their browser settings. Disabling technical cookies may affect the proper functioning of the website or some of its essential features.
8. RETENTION OF PREFERENCES
Any cookie preferences, where stored by means of technical tools, are retained for the period strictly necessary to manage such settings and, as a general rule, no longer than 6 months, unless renewed by the user or required for duly justified technical reasons.
9. USER RIGHTS
For further information on the processing of personal data and to exercise the rights provided under Articles 15–22 of the GDPR, users may refer to the website’s Privacy Policy or contact: itsvalentinarossi@icloud.com.
10. UPDATES TO THIS POLICY
This Cookie Policy may be updated at any time to reflect legal, technical, or organisational changes. The updated version will be published on this page with the corresponding revision date.
